Gotham Knights: How To Unlock Fast Travel Locations

Learn how to scan various GCPD drones and unlock fast travel locations in Gotham Knights across the city of Gotham.

Numerous fast-travel locations are scattered across Gotham City that the player can use to travel quickly. With the considerably huge world that Gotham Knights has to offer, traveling around Gotham City on the Batcycle is often inefficient. Fast Travel is a feature that most open-world games exhibit in today’s era. The player can use these fast travel points irrespective of whichever member of the Bat Family they are playing as. The Fast Travel feature in Gotham Knights essentially lets you teleport from one case to another.

Key Takeaways
  • Fast Travel is an essential feature implemented into most of the open-world games in today’s era.
  • Gotham Knights has a unique Fast Travel system that requires the player to fulfill tasks to unlock.
  • Players can contact Lucius Fox to unlock the Fast Travel system in Gotham Knights.
  • Fast Travel allows the player to travel quickly from district to district.
  • It saves a lot of playtime, which can be invested into hunting collectibles.

Getting Call From Lucius Fox

You can make use of fast travel as early as the first mission into the game technically, but that will only take you back to Belfry. This is essentially useless and serves to end the night along with your patrol.

However, you will receive a message from Lucius Fox once you have completed the first part of the second case file. Note that it can take several hours of gameplay to reach this point. This depends on how much time you spend learning the game’s mechanics.

Nevertheless, Lucius Fox contacts them while he is in Otisburg, offering help. You are to go to his company’s center of operations, Foxteca HQ. You will find him waiting for you on the roof of the headquarters.

The Glider

Lucius Fox will uncover a glider with mechanical specifications. This glider will allow you to travel around Gotham City via flight, boosting travel speed by leaps and bounds. It is then revealed that right after the deaths of Batman and Commissioner Gordon, the infiltrated GCPD ended up deploying certain drones throughout the length of the city.

Hostile Drones

These drones have the task of shooting you down as you glide your way across the city. Once you interact with Fox again, he will tell you that the solution to dealing with drones is to scan and reprogram these evil bots. Only once you have scanned and reprogrammed the GCPD drones in a certain area will you be able to travel there fast.

How To Hack The Drones

Every fast-travel location will have one to three GCPD drones patrolling the area. Despite being made from sophisticated and state-of-the-art technology to patrol large parts of Gotham City, they are very easy to hack. It takes as much as a simple scan using the AR device you are equipped with.

Once all the drones in a certain area are scanned, you can fly into that area easily.

Shielded Drones

As you progress in unlocking fast-travel locations, you will find that the GCPD has installed shields onto their drones in later areas. Scanning and reprogramming these drones is not that simple. You can only scan shielded drones when they are docked at their specified recharging stations. This ends up making the process of scanning and reprogramming the drones later on in the game a bit difficult and time-consuming.

All the fast travel locations are shown on the map as GPS location icons. The color indicates the status of whether they have been unlocked or are still, in fact, locked. Before they are unlocked, they are white. Once you scan the drones flying around a particular icon’s area, they turn green. This indicates that you can use that point to fast travel now.

You are to find all the drones patrolling a particular area. Once you find them, get close to them and scan them with your AR device. This is where Lucius comes in with his technological skills to hack and override them.

Using AR Pulse To See Drones

As we have discussed earlier, you will encounter shielded drones as you progress in your quest to unlock all fast-travel locations. They are only off guard when docked at recharging stations. You can use the AR pulse to see drones and docks through structures like buildings.

It is important to note here that:

  • Docks are represented with white outlines.
  • Drones yet to be scanned are represented with orange outlines.
  • Drones that the player has scanned are represented with white outlines.

It is also worth noting that once you have unlocked at least two fast travel locations, you can interact with any one icon on your map. A cycle-like interaction through all the locations will appear, which will help keep you from scrolling to every location’s icon individually on the map. This mechanic is of high value and should be unlocked before collecting collectibles throughout the city since travel is much faster now.

Drone And Fast Travel Locations

Note that the fast travel point doesn’t need to be located exactly where you scan the last of the drones for that area. For example, when you finish scanning all the drones in Otisburg, the actual fast travel point appears in the Bowery.

1. The Financial District

This is where the first scanning location and GCPD drone is located. The exact location is just southwest of the Belfry on Barr Avenue in the Financial District. The drone is unshielded because of being the very first one to be scanned. You are to scan it to access the system, opening up the next location in Southside. A fast travel beacon will pop up to the northwest.

2. Southside

The second location to scan GCPD drones is in Southside. The exact location is just south of Cobblepot Steel, northeast of Star Labs. Be careful as the drone here is a shielded one. As instructed before, wait for it to dock to its designated recharging station. Once it does, go ahead and scan it. Scanning the drone in this location will unlock all of the other scanning locations across the entirety of the map.

3. Old Gotham

The best location to go after Southside is Old Gotham. The location to find the drones in this area is north of the City Hall, right across Grand Avenue. This is the first location where there are two drones patrolling the area. One of them is shielded, while the other is unshielded. The fast travel beacon will pop up in the same location.

4. Tricorner Island

The fourth location on our list is Tricorner Island. Tricorner Island houses two unshielded drones. You can find them flying around on Arsenal Street. Be careful, as they will also fly to Dumas Avenue and Sprang Street while patrolling. The fast travel beacon will pop up on the Robert Kane Memorial Bridge just west of Sprang Street.

5. Otisburg

You will find the drones in the extreme southeast area of Otisburg, particularly near the St. Aloysius Church Landmark. This is the first location to home three drones, though they will all be unshielded. All three of them fly around the tower at low, medium, and high levels. After scanning them, the fast travel beacon will pop up in the Bowery on Park Row, southwest of the Monarch Theater.

6. West End

The West End houses three drones in total. Two of them are shielded drones, while the last one is an unshielded drone. All three of them fly around near the Gotham Gazette, particularly to its north in the area between Croydon and Bohler Avenues. The fast travel beacon will become available on the building north of Croydon Avenue.

7. Gotham Heights

Gotham Heights houses two drones, both shielded. You can find them in the apartment block where Mason Street and Dryfold Avenues meet in the southwest area of Gotham Heights. The fast travel beacon will appear at the Martha Wayne Art Gallery northwest of the drones’ locations.

8. Bristol

The last scanning area is the one with three drones, all of them shielded. You will find them flying around Mercy Avenue and Beacon Street. The location is in the vicinity of the LeBlanc Funeral Home. They patrol around the entirety of the area and are more dangerous than the other shielded drones in that they have multiple recharging stations.

Once you scan all the drones in this area, the fast-travel beacon will appear south of the abovementioned area. The exact location is across Mercy Street, right at the entrance to Robbins Bridge.

This has been our guide to scanning all GCPD drones and unlocking fast travel in Gotham Knights. Traveling from district to district, whether for missions or a hunt for collectibles, hasn’t been easier.
