Base reward: 1,300
Completion regions: 3
Rating inputs: 8 / 30
Infrastructure: 61 ordered objectives
Target time: 8:00

Mission Briefing

Learn the complete tool sequence: pipes, drains, power, digging, pumping and final cleanup.

Deployment order: Use the supplied equipment and follow the objective order. The Tutorial deliberately teaches the dependencies between drains, power, pumps and final shallow-water cleanup.

Mission Walkthrough

Phase 1 — Survey and restore drainage

Open the map, identify the marked water zones and clear the blocked drains before moving equipment.

Use bubbles, floating debris and mud sounds to locate hidden drains.
Rake each drain until the objective confirms sufficient clearance.
Recheck drains after water begins moving; they can collect more mud during the operation.

Phase 2 — Repair and establish power

Close the broken pipe and create a working power network.

Use repeated pipe-wrench strokes until the pipe-repair objective completes.
Place the generator on stable ground and connect the site light.
Keep cable runs simple and avoid stretching them across awkward height changes.

Phase 3 — Shape the route and deploy the pump

Use the shovel and bucket to create a controlled path, then move deep water through the pump and hose.

Follow the marked digging objective rather than removing dirt at random.
Place the pump in the deepest usable water and route its hose to the instructed discharge point.
Connect the pump to the generator only after both pieces are positioned.

Phase 4 — Clear residual water

Finish every measured region with the vacuum and squeegee.

Use the water scan to find the remaining red zones.
Vacuum shallow pockets rather than attempting to use it in deep water.
Push thin surface water towards drains with the squeegee and revisit all three regions.
