Wondering how to find Tim Breaker in Alan Wake 2? You’re not alone. We’ll go over all locations in which this character can be found, as well as who he is and why he’s significant.
As you make progress in Alan Wake 2, you’ll become familiar with Tim Breaker, the sheriff of Bright Falls. The character appears in both Alan’s and FBI Agent Saga Anderson’s storylines, hinting at his significance in the overarching plot of the game. That said, finding him gains more importance during your time spent playing as Alan. This is because your interactions with the character during this storyline are strictly optional, meaning you’ll need to track him down if you want to have a word with him. What’s more, doing so can help you gain greater insight into the workings of the Dark Place. Here’s how to find Tim Breaker as Alan.
As mentioned, Tim can often be found by the sound of his humming. Youâll hear him humming a tune once you are close enough. Tip: if you enable subtitles, this will be much easier, because Unknown Voice (humming) will appear.
Tim Breaker is the acting sheriff of Bright Falls. Fans of the series will recognize that he’s the cousin of Sarah Breaker, the sheriff from the previous game. Those who have played through Remedy Entertainment’s other releases (namely Quantum Break) will also notice a few other Easter Eggs, such as the character’s respective actor Shawn Ashmore.
In Alan Wake 2, the sheriff’s role becomes especially significant during Alan’s chapters. By interacting with Tim, you’ll gain more insight into the happenings of the Dark Place. He can also help you connect the dots to Warlin Door’s true identity. Moreover, areas in which the character is found also house maps that can be used to find important collectibles, like Words of Power and Echoes.
