Mission Briefing: Suburban Subdivisions
The Suburban House is the first full-scale heist mission in Dumpster Gang. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac under the cover of midnight, the target is a sprawling two-story residential home packed with expensive human kitchenware, consumer electronics, and patio furnishings.
Unlike the calm Forest Training Grounds, the Suburban House is an active sandbox filled with dynamic hazards. A sleepy resident family sleeps upstairs, an alert Golden Retriever naps on the living room rug, motion-activated porch floodlights guard the driveway, and John Exterminator is on standby in his patrol truck three blocks away.
Your gang's primary objective is to loot at least 500 Trash Coins worth of scrap and escape to the alley dumpster before neighborhood police or pest control surround the perimeter.
Infiltration Ingress Points
Approaching the house requires careful pathing. The front door is securely deadbolted and covered by a motion-sensor spotlight. Instead, utilize one of three stealth ingress routes:
- The Pet Dog Flap (Ground Level): Located on the back kitchen door. Allows instant access to the kitchen floor, but leaves you vulnerable if the guard dog is awake.
- The Ivy Trellis to Balcony (Second Floor): Climb the wooden ivy trellis on the east wall of the house to access the master bedroom balcony. This allows you to loot bedroom jewelry boxes before heading downstairs.
- The Basement Window Well (Sub-Level): Kick open the loose cellar window on the west side. This drops your team directly into the laundry room next to the main electrical breaker panel.
| Ingress Route | Stealth Rating | Danger Level | Direct Access To | Recommended Loadout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pet Dog Flap | High | Moderate (Dog alert) | Kitchen & Pantry | Hot Dog Distraction item |
| Trellis to Balcony | Very High | Low | Master Bedroom & Attic | Feather Fedora (Quiet step) |
| Basement Window | Moderate | Very Low | Breaker Box & Laundry | Heavy Skillet for locks |
| Garage Pet Door | Low | High (Motion lights) | Toolbench & Copper | Work Boots (Tripwire guard) |
Room-by-Room Heist Walkthrough
Follow this operational progression to systematically loot the property without triggering early alarms:
Step 1: Disable the Power Grid
Enter via the basement cellar window. Locate the grey electrical breaker box on the wall. Have one raccoon jump and hang on the main breaker lever. Toggling the breaker cuts power to the entire house, disabling motion-sensing floodlights, refrigerator alarms, and hallway security cameras.
Step 2: The Kitchen Pantry Sweep
Head up the basement stairs into the kitchen. Grab the pantry key from the hook near the garage door. Unlock the walk-in pantry:
- Loot the 3 premium dark roast coffee cans (Pocket loot: 80 Coins each).
- Grab the unopened roasted turkey from the bottom shelf (Team carry: 180 Coins).
- Raid the silverware drawer for sterling silver cutlery sets (Pocket loot: 120 Coins).
Step 3: Clearing the Living Room
Crawl across the hardwood floor on all fours. If you walk on the sleeping Golden Retriever's tail, he will bark loudly, filling 35% of the Chaos Meter instantly. Roll a tennis ball into the laundry room to lure him away, then carry the flat-screen TV out through the sliding patio glass doors.
Step 4: Attic Secrets & The Master Bedroom
Take the carpeted stairs to the second floor. In the master bedroom, loot the diamond rings and gold watches from the jewelry box on the vanity mirror. Next, climb into the ceiling attic hatch using the hallway linen closet shelves. Behind the vinyl records, locate the Golden Gnome (value: 300 Coins + unlocks permanent hideout trophy).
Step 5: The Balcony Drop Extraction
Do not carry heavy loot down the interior staircase. Instead, bring bulky items to the master bedroom balcony. Toss them over the railing directly into the open dumpster positioned in the alley below. Jump over the balcony railing, land in the soft garden mulch, and trigger the getaway cart.
John Exterminator's House Patrol
If your team breaks glass or alerts the dog, John Exterminator arrives in his van within 45 seconds. In this map, John enters through the front door, sweeps the ground floor with his heavy flashlight, and lays three steel bear traps:
- Trap 1: Directly in front of the kitchen dog flap.
- Trap 2: At the bottom landing of the main staircase.
- Trap 3: In the gap of the backyard wooden fence.
If John corners you inside the house, jump onto high kitchen cabinets, climb on top of curtain rods, or squeeze into the ventilation ducts behind the microwave.
Pro Tip
Throwing a heavy cast-iron skillet down the basement stairs makes a loud metallic crash that lures John into the cellar. Once he descends the stairs, have a teammate kick the cellar door shut and slide the deadbolt latch to trap him downstairs for 45 seconds.
