Deathloop has multiple endings that you can choose between. There are three of them to be exact. Each of them has a different outcome as expected. However, if you want to unlock all of them, you will have to follow a few steps. So, scroll down and find out how to get all the endings in Deathloop. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
All Deathloop Endings explained
There are three different outcomes that you can choose between. The journey to this end begins when you eliminate all the Visionaries in a single cycle. After this, you will have to fly the Rakyetoplan to a facility. This facility seems to be the source of the issue causing the loop. As soon as you get close, to the facility, the Rakyetoplan will crash.
Now, the story will take you to Julianna. At this time Colt’s daughter will have a proposition. She will display a wooden case with two pistols. Once you pick up the weapon, a standoff will occur between Colt and Julianna. Now, Julianna will count to three and this is where you have to make your decision regarding the Deathloop Endings.

Spare Julianna and not shoot
Just let Julianna count all the way to 3 and you will be good. This is the happiest outcome that you can get from either of the endings in the game. The wholesome moment will continue as both Colt and Julianna joke about being stuck in the loop for a long time. Colt even talks about throwing Aleksis in the grinder. Julianna will even call Colt her dad which leads to some awkward glances around the room. So both Colt and Julianna live to see another day in the loop.
Shoot Julianna and then jump into the loop: Deathloop Endings
Before Julianna finishes counting to three, shoot her. Now, you will see lines in the background. Some of these urge you to jump and break the loop. Once you go and jump off the edge, you will be teleported to a beach. Once you wake up, you will see that Julianna has a gun pointed at your face. However, she will disappear almost immediately. In the distance, you will be able to see a storm around the facility. This apparently destroys the facility, breaking you out of the loop.

Shoot Julianna and sit down on the floor
Before Julianna finishes counting to three, shoot her. Again, you will see lines in the background that urge you to make the jump and break the loop. Interact with the chair nearby and you will take a seat. This indicates that Colt can’t come to grasps with the decision yet. He will now start the loop anew and be stuck inside it until he makes another choice. However, the one thing that you should remember is that this is not considered as one of the true endings in the game. It is more of a compromise.
What happens after the Deathloop endings?
Once you are done with the decision-making, you will be able to continue your progress in the game. You will still be able to access the menu and go chase various leads and zones. The game will also allow you to upgrade and improve your weapons in the game.
However, 1 and 2 are the only true endings in the game. Once you choose either of them, you will get an achievement trophy and get access to the post-creds. After the post cred scenes, you will go back to the menu. However, all the weapons and abilities that you gained during this loop while killing the Visionaries will be taken away. So, you will have to start out the entire loop right from the beginning.
If you choose 3 you will not see the post-credits. However, there is a short cartoonish sequence where Colt talks about breaking the loop. You will not get to view any of the cutscenes that depict the actual ending. This is because the 3rd decision is kind of a mid-way option. 1 and 2 are the only ones where you get closure. Fortunately, this time around, you will be able to keep all your weapons and powers from the previous loop.

How to unlock all the endings in Deathloop?
To do this you will have to be a bit slick. At the moment Colt arrives at the facility, make a backup folder of the save file. The location for the same is C:\Users\<PC User>\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Deathloop\base\save game\<Steam user ID>\SLOT 1. Copy all the files from the SLOT1 folder and paste them someplace else.
Now, whenever you need to experience a different ending, just replace the save file with this file and you will reach the same point in the game. This will allow you to keep playing the same loop as many times as you want. However, do remember, that this is the last possible moment you can save progress. Once you cross this point, there is no going back and you will have to replay the loop to get here.
This is everything you need to know about all the Endings in Deathloop as well as how to unlock them in the game. While you are here you can also have a look at how to Search The Fristad Shore Walkthrough In Deathloop and How To Keep Weapons Between Loops In Deathloop By Using Infusion.
