Eleanor's Storyline & the Care Package

Updated · Characters

Quick answer

Don't give Eleanor the Care Package. It's a trap: if she takes it, Security arrests her on the spot. When the man (her 'uncle') tries to hand you the package, report him to Security — you get the bounty and Eleanor later thanks you with a reward (HydraTech Micro Water Purifier or L'ESSENCE perfume). Help her instead with accepted trades of food or household goods. Her story starts around Day 23 and doesn't end your run.

What to do, step by step

Day (tutorial on) What happens What to do
~23 Eleanor visits wanting food Sell her food through the trade window
~25 She wants household goods Same — an accepted trade
~27 She sells personal belongings Buy them; this counts toward helping her
~28 Her “uncle” brings the Care Package Report him (hold Call Security). Don’t pass the package to her
After Eleanor’s warning visit Pick a reward: HydraTech Micro Water Purifier or L’ESSENCE Pheromone Perfume
Later Savings phase Buy her salvaged goods until your payments to her reach 800 credits
Later Hard drive, a threat visit, your decision Return the drive (300 credits) or Leak it (Nutrifruit restrictions lifted, she becomes a Revolution weapons buyer)

Days are from a datamined fan guide (v1.0.0.5) and assume the tutorial is on; the “don’t hand over the package / report the man” part is confirmed by several players on Steam. ⚠️ Treat the later days and rewards as likely but unconfirmed.

Why the Care Package is a trap

On Steam, the player who started the “Eleanor package” thread and a second player both gave Eleanor the package and watched Security take her away. A third player reported the man bringing it instead: “got paid by sec and Eleanor gave me a nice item as thanks.” The fan story guide adds that an owned Care Package left on either counter triggers its own arrest check, even with zero heat — so get it off the counter.

Hard drive: return or leak?

Choice What you get (fan guide ⚠️)
Return the drive 300 credits
Leak the drive Nutrifruit restrictions lifted; Eleanor becomes a Revolution weapons buyer (350 base budget)

Both reportedly also give a used SYNC Self-Refilling Neuroactive Perfume. Leaking suits a Gunsmith or a Revolution-friendly run; returning is the quiet option. A Steam player mentions getting Nutrifruit seeds from Eleanor’s quest, which fits the leak branch.

FAQ

Should I give the Care Package to Eleanor?

No. Players who handed it over saw Security grab her immediately, and she won't take it later either. Report the man who brings it instead.

What do I do with the Care Package if I already have it?

Don't leave it on either counter — even at zero heat it can trigger an arrest check. Players have sold it to the end-of-week Merchant (who buys anything; one player put its value around 300) or kept it until it turned into an ordinary household item.

How do I help Eleanor?

Through normal, accepted trades in the trade window — food, snacks or drinks when she asks for food, household goods when she asks for those. Leaving something on the counter as a gift doesn't count.

What reward does Eleanor give?

After you report the man with the package, she comes back to warn you and you choose a reward: a HydraTech Micro Water Purifier (75 durability) or L'ESSENCE Pheromone Perfume (3 uses). The later hard-drive choice pays 300 credits (return it) or lifts Nutrifruit restrictions and makes her a Revolution weapons buyer (leak it). ⚠️ These reward details come from one fan site.

The 'tell Eleanor' option won't click — is the quest bugged?

Some players report exactly that after a visitor threatens Eleanor's mother. It's listed in the Steam bug forum with no developer answer yet; reloading the day is the usual workaround.
