Mission Briefing: The Old Homestead Farm
The Farm expands Dumpster Gang's sandbox into an open-air agricultural environment filled with unique challenges, expansive sightlines, and heavy mechanical loot. Unlike the confined corridors of the Suburban House, The Farm presents wide pastures, towering barns, rickety windmills, and noisy farm animals that react violently to raccoon intruders.
The target is an active dairy and crop farmstead. The farmer is asleep in the main house, but roaming farm dogs, territorial roosters, and grazing cattle make stealth essential.
Your gang's primary mission is to breach the main red barn, extract the antique engine parts and farm tools, and deliver at least 750 Trash Coins worth of agricultural salvage to the livestock trailer extraction point.
Navigating Livestock & Environmental Hazards
Animals on the farm are dynamic environmental triggers that can either ruin your stealth approach or be weaponized against John Exterminator:
- The Chicken Coop: Stepping inside without crouching causes chickens to squawk loudly and flap into the air, raising the Chaos Meter by 15% every 3 seconds.
- Dairy Cows: Grazing in the middle pasture. Walking directly in front of a cow's face triggers a loud moo and an aggressive head-butt that sends your raccoon flying across the fence.
- The Muddy Pig Pen: Deep slurry mud slows raccoon movement by 30%, but slows humans (including John) by a staggering 60%. Luring John through the pig pen is the most reliable escape tactic on this map.
- The Electric Cattle Fence: Glowing yellow insulators mark electrified wire. Touching the wire zaps your raccoon, stunning you for 2 seconds and dropping all carried loot. Locate the yellow generator switch to deactivate the current.
| Farm Hazard | Sound Alert Radius | Negative Effect | Raccoon Countermeasure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roaming Rooster | 20 meters | Crowing alerts guards | Throw cracked corn to distract |
| Grazing Bull | 8 meters | Knockback kick | Sneak behind through tall grass |
| Mud Slurry Pen | Silent | 30% speed reduction | Use wooden fence rails to bridge |
| Electric Wire | Moderate (Zap crackle) | 2-sec stun & drop loot | Cut breaker switch at milk shed |
| Barn Owl Lookout | 25 meters | Night screech | Hug shadows under roof eaves |
Step-by-Step Barn Raid Walkthrough
Follow this operational plan to clear The Farm's main objectives:
Phase 1: Disarming the Electric Perimeter
Infiltrate the perimeter through the dry drainage ditch on the southern border. Head directly to the white milk shed. On the exterior wall, pull the lever marked "FENCE POWER" to kill electricity across the entire pasture.
Phase 2: Securing the Barn Key
Check the tractor tool shed:
- If the key is not on the workbench, sneak into the chicken coop.
- Toss a handful of grain to draw the chickens into the corner, then grab the Rusted Barn Key from the nail beside the nesting boxes.
Phase 3: The Great Barn Infiltration
Unlock the massive double wooden doors of the Red Barn. Inside, you will find multi-level scaffolding, suspended hay forks, and valuable farm machinery:
- Grab the brass tractor carburetor from the workbench (Hand loot: 140 Coins).
- Raid the locked tack trunk for leather saddles and horse brasses (Team carry: 240 Coins).
- Climb the loft ladder to the upper hayloft.
Phase 4: Rooftop Cupola & The Golden Weathervane
From the upper hayloft, scramble out the high hay door onto the pitched metal roof. Scaling metal roofs requires careful footing to avoid sliding down the slope. Reach the central cupola tower and unscrew the Vintage Brass Weathervane (value: 350 Coins + hideout trophy).
Phase 5: The Hay Conveyor Escape Line
Do not carry the heavy saddles and machine parts down the barn stairs. Instead, activate the motor switch for the exterior hay bale conveyor belt. Place all stolen items onto the conveyor; the belt transports them smoothly out of the barn and drops them directly into your getaway trailer parked beside the windmill.
John Exterminator's Farm Strategy
On The Farm, John trades his net for a high-powered spotlight truck and sets mechanized spring traps in the tall grass. He routinely drives his truck along the perimeter dirt track, shining his spotlight into pastures.
If caught in the spotlight's glare, dive into tall wheat patches or hide inside hollow round hay bales. If John chases your team on foot, lead him toward the pig pen. While he struggles through the knee-deep mud slurry, your team can sprint across the fence posts and seal the gate behind him.
Pro Tip
Find the box of matches inside the tractor shed. Use them to ignite the old fire pit near the windmill; the smoke plume distracts the farm dogs and completely conceals your team's extraction van loading zone.
