Outsider Badge

The Outsider Badge is given to Stray before the beginning of chapter seven 'Dead End'. The badge is given by Seamus to act as a message to his father Doc. You must first find the tracker in Doc's secret room and get Elliot to repair it. The quest will start after Stray finishes the 'Rooftops' chapter and begins the 'Slums Part two'.
Once the tracker is repaired, Seamus will use it to locate Doc's whereabouts which he will then task Stray to find after pinning the badge on them.

Once inside, you'll see a worker looking over a railing and complaining that he has lost his keys.
Progress to the next room where the cubes of moving garbage will obstruct the Sentinel's vision. There will be an island of garbage to the bottom right of the room, access the area by jumping on the barrels nearby. This is where the worker's lost keys will be. Travel back to return them and receive the last badge.
