3. Outpost:
The Electrical Substation
LOCATION: 28040 Barstow Rd, Barstow
TIME LIMIT- 30 mins
MISSION:
The Electrical Substation is where the Wastelands gets its energy. Enter disguised as a Wastelander seeking food and supplies. Get into the "bread Line" and pay a gold coin to purchase food. Blend in with the merchants and maybe even purchase some goods.
Next, locate the Wolverine spy who's stationed nearby. You will need to create a diversion to retrieve the STARFIRE Ammo that's being guarded in Master Blasters secure area. Provide him with the secret code that will disable the electrified fence. With the electric fence temporarily out of commission, you'll have a window of opportunity to enter the secure area. Inside, rendezvous with the General to carry out the mission.
After you secure the PROJECT STARFIRE COMPONENT, then your team must divert the attention of the Wastelander Guards who are loading up fuel pods. Look for ingenious ways to distract them before proceeding. Retrieve both the STARFIRE ammo and the Fuel pods without alerting any further suspicion. Remember, stealth and swiftness are your allies in this high-stakes endeavor.
3.1- Pay a gold coin to get Food
3.1- Blend in with the Wastelanders by getting into the "bread Line" and paying a gold coin for food. Find a seat and quickly eat so you ou don't draw to much attention to yourself.
3.2 GIVE THE HACKER THE CODES TO SHUT DOWN THE ELECTRIFIED FENCE AND GAIN ACCESS TO THE SUPPLY AREA
3.2- Once you have eaten your food find the Wolverine Scout near THE BUS STATION of the outpost. Provide him with the code and he will input the correct sequence into the interface to hack the electrical system and help you gain access to the secure area.
A Wolverine Scout discovered that if you hack the electric substation unit, it will emit a high-pitched sound which can momentarily kill the power to the electrified fence and create a distraction for us to access the secure area. Once inside look for the General who has secured the Project Starfire component. She will give you instructions.
Find the Wolverine Hacker set up near the Bus Station and give him the code-
010621062721
3.3 STEAL ONE FUEL POD
3.3 - The next challenge requires a feat of stealth and cunning. Thanks to a well-placed bribe to Master Blaster's side kick, Toady we have intel that Master Blaster is loading a collection of Fuel pods into the vehicle for transport. Your objective: steal a fuel pod stationed once inside the gate.
You need to concoct a clever distraction to keep those guards occupied while your team mate steals a fuel pod. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
-
The Inexplicable Spontaneous Dance Routine:
-
The Spontaneous Stand-up Routine:
-
The Masterpiece artifact for sale… They may even buy it….
-
The 'Spontaneous' Karaoke Session:
-
or something you come up with on your own....
Remember, this mission demands resourcefulness and quick thinking. The success of this operation relies on you.
RECONNAISSANCE
Capture a video of Master Blaster at the outpost and your creative distraction for stealing a fuel pod and send the following message to mission control (instagram).

4. WASTELANDS TOLL BOOTH
LOCATION: TIME LIMIT- 5 mins
We have intel that there is a Wastelanders Toll Booth. Make sure that you have your Moose Knuckle Shackle attached correct code number sequence on your driver side door placard or you may need to pay a bribe to get access.
To gain access to the Wastelands you will need to have a correct vehicle reference number displayed on your Vehicle. We were able to have one of our agents create the door placard which is used in the wastelands to identify your tribe. Now you will need to decipher the number sequence in order to gain access without any problems. The wrong code could land you in trouble and require a bribe at the checkpoint.
A "numbers station" is a radio station that broadcasts only a series of numbers, representing coded words with instructions to agents operating on foreign soil. Our agent was able to gain access to the station and broadcast a brief message consisting of the vehicle display reference number- but encoded in such a manner that the information would not be obvious to the Wastelanders. Figure out the correct sequence of numbers you will need to use in order to gain proper access to the Wastelands?
The broadcast consisted of the following codes:
"Kroner. Ufo urgent. Network. Stealth Reentry. Canine. Weighted.”
ANSWER (6 NUMBERS): _ _ _ _ _ _
DECIPHER THE CODE-Once finalized place the number decals you received on your vehicle placard for your disguise prior to arriving at the toll booth to gain access. If it is incorrect, hopefully, you can bribe your way in with some gold.

6. The RUSSIAN WEAPONS FACILITY escape hatch
OPEN FIRE
MISSION:Bring your STARFIRE ammo with you!
Find the Russian weapons facility escape hatch and the engineer, decipher the FINAL INTERCEPTION message to find the 4 digit numeric code to open the safe and retrieve the PROJECT STARFIRE TEST UNIT!
LOCATION: TIME LIMIT- 10 mins
OVERVIEW:The Wolverines have successfully located the escape hatch of the Russian Weapons facility, which is situated approximately 3 miles away from the actual facility. An intricate tunnel system is used to access this exit. One of the Russian Engineers was able to escape through the hatch and sent out an encrypted message, which we managed to intercept. Upon deciphering the message, we discovered that there is a 4-digit safe code required to gain access to PROJECT STARFIRE, which is currently stored in the safe. The Engineer has the PROTOTYPE in his possession and is awaiting an EVAC from the Russian infantry. We believe this second message contains the encoded code for unlocking the safe. It is essential that your team travels through the Wastelands to reach the escape hatch before Dragov the Russian special forces leader arrives to retrieve the safe. Once you arrive at the hatch, use the 4 digit code and open the safe.:

7.1-FIND THE GENERAL IN BARTERTOWN in order TO SELL THE FUEL PODS TO MASTER BLASTER and plant the tracking device
7.1 Mission:
When arriving park in the designated area below in the satellite image. Find the General and Meet Master Blaster. We will use the deal to sell the fuel pods as a distraction to place the tracking device on the vehicle without being caught and don't blow your cover or there could be a consequence.
Overview:
Master Blaster the Wastelander Warlord will be transporting the Russian engineer with the schematics. We need to have a tracking device on the vehicle to see where they move the engineer.
The General was able to arrange a deal with Toady, Master Blaster's Henchmen to sell the fuel pods to Master Blaster. Fuel pods are a highly sought-after item so we piqued his interest. We will have an ulterior motive than simply selling the fuel pods.
A team member will sell fuel pods to distract Master Blaster while another team member plants a tracking device using a Pro Eagle jack on Master Blasters vehicle.
Your team will need to do this without being caught. Once the tracking device is planted, wrap up the negotiation deal, sell the fuel pods for as much gold as you can, and get out of there before Master Blaster changes the deal and things go south.

- Magnetic Tracking device to plant underneath Master Blasters car
- Fuel pods to sell
