Dumpster Gang Missions Checklist & Objectives

Quick Guide

Every mission features three medal tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold score payouts.

Complete all optional crimes (like clogging toilets or unlatching pens) for bonus scrap.

Locate the unique Gold Trophy collectible hidden in each map to unlock special hats.

Earn the Ghost Raccoon medal by extracting with full quota without alerting John once.

Achieving 100% mission checklist completion unlocks the Master Burglar raccoon outfit.

The Heist Completionist System

Dumpster Gang offers deep replayability through its tiered objective and medal grading system. Merely meeting the minimum quota to escape is only the beginning. Each mission rewards gangs that thoroughly comb through properties, complete ridiculous optional vandalism, and outsmart security systems with surgical stealth.

At the conclusion of every raid, the Getaway Summary screen grades your team based on five criteria:

Total Scrap Value Extracted (Base quota vs. excess haul)
Stealth Grade (Alarms triggered and time spent in John's line of sight)
Petty Crimes Executed (Vandalism and environmental mischief)
Time to Extraction (Speedrun bonuses)
Secret Trophy Recovery (Rare hideout relics discovered)

Scoring Gold Medals unlocks exclusive raccoon cosmetics, rare furniture blueprints for your campfire hideout, and higher-difficulty challenge modifiers.

Do not shatter any glass windows or fragile porcelain dishes.
Extract without stunning or engaging human enemies.

Achieving Ghost Raccoon awards triple experience toward unlocking stealth-focused hats and grants the Shadow Bandit Mask vanity cosmetic.

Pro Tip

When attempting Gold Medal runs, divide tasks clearly among your squad: designate one player as the dedicated look-out and petty criminal who completes toilet clogs and gate unlatches, while two players team-carry heavy loot and the fourth stages extraction bins.
