Unlocking the Darkfuse Solutions Reputation in Undermine

Darkfuse Solutions is a hidden fifth Cartel that players can gain reputation with in Undermine. With the release of the Liberation of Undermine raid, the pathway to unlocking this intriguing faction has finally been revealed!

Unlocking Darkfuse Solutions

To gain access to the Darkfuse Solutions reputation, you’ll first need to complete the Liberation of Undermine raid and finish the corresponding story quest, Liberation of Undermine: The House Loses.After completing the quest, head to the Incontinental Hotel lobby, where you’ll notice an Overly-Sealed Letter resting on the table. Interacting with this item initiates the quest called Diversified Solutions. This quest teases the beginning of a new business opportunity.The letter humorously addresses you as "The <class> who took down Gallywix" and, true to goblin style, is wrapped in an excessive amount of duct tape. It takes some effort to open it, but inside, you’ll find the following message:

"Hey bud,
You've been making a name for yourself. Not afraid to get your hands dirty, huh? Certain people really appreciate that kind of dedication.
Let's talk business. Meet me at my warehouse, and maybe we can work out a partnership."

This invitation leads you to Hovel Hill, where a sewer grate marks the entrance to the Darkfuse headquarters. Here, you’ll meet Sitch Lowdown, who provides insight into the group’s goals and history following Gallywix’s downfall.Interestingly, Sitch reveals that the Darkfuse Solutions was formerly known as the Blackfuse Company, a goblin cartel notorious for building weapons for Garrosh Hellscream during the Siege of Orgrimmar. However, after losing their leader, Siegecrafter Blackfuse, the group decided to rebrand and take a new direction:

"Blackfuse, Darkfuse—whatever we call ourselves, we’re over chasing the next high-paying bad guy. They always end up dead, and honestly? That’s bad for job security.
So, we’re pivoting. Darkfuse Solutions LLC is here to solve… well, something. We’re still figuring that part out through market research. If you’re up for testing our prototypes and helping us find our niche, we’ll reward you handsomely. Deal?"

Once you agree, Sitch Lowdown becomes the faction vendor for Darkfuse Solutions, and you officially unlock this reputation on an account-wide basis.
