Junkyard Trial Environment Concept
More in-depth explanation below
JUNKYARD
The bloated monastery of the criminal underworld, where liars and traitors are as cheap and disposable as car parts. Each broken down vehicle is a coffin and each corpse is a loose end that must be cut. All you need to do is to hope that you are a little more exotic than the others.
Shuttle Hallucinations (Main Trial)
You see visions of a car driving at you intermittent with Franco shooting the heads off of mannequins as well as protecting a suited man with two masks. You also visions of being in a car yourself and look over to the driver’s seat to see Franco drinking and driving while the suited man sits in the back seat. The hallucination ends with a crouched Franco shyly aiming his shotgun at you as the Godfather watches and encourages him.
CRUSH THE GODFATHER
“You are the id and the superego. At your worst, you annihilate falsehoods and deception. At your best, you stabilise truth and preserve our order. Destroy the ego. Crush the backbiting mob boss. And we will let you out.”
Infiltrate the Junkyard: you spawn in a shantytown by a swamp. Up ahead the muddy road is the entrance to Sally’s Auto Wreckers, where you encounter a maze of scrapped car piles and foliage. There are murky waters, waist high and full of bodily fluids, that considerably slow down movement and conceal traps beneath the surface.
Fuel the Car: you find an expensive, if beat up, car with a victim in its trunk; the Godfather, wearing a white suit with two masks on opposing sides of his covered head. There’s a blood sign pointing at him saying “Salvatore Barbi”. Around the map, there are fuel canisters in bulb cages, which will only open once you find an Unstable Microwave Trigger to pop the latch on them. Take the fuel canisters to the car and fill her up.
Drive the Car to the Crusher (1/2): once the car is all fuelled up, you can hop into the front seat and drive forward on the rail at a noticeably faster speed than walking. You can also turn the headlights off and on to light up dark areas. While driving, Salvatore Barbi will be talking to you, trying to get sympathy from you by saying he has a family and will generally just be bartering with you to give up.
Replace the Car Batteries: the car stops halfway through the Junkyard and you must locate 2-4 Car Batteries to restart it. Car Batteries are heavy items that will shock you if you take them into the water for a shortcut. Once you’ve replaced the batteries on the car, you can continue driving.
Drive the Car to the Crusher (2/2): along the way, you’ll need to open gates by either using Car Batteries or using Unstable Microwave Triggers to get the car past them. Whichever gates you get are decided by a fork in the road, where you can decide which way to go: to the makeshift Car Wash (Car Battery Gates), or to the Exotic Vehicles section (Unstable Microwave Trigger Gates). Whichever way you choose to go, you’ll eventually end up at the car crusher. Whereupon you drive the car inside.
Franco’s Intro: at the top of the car crusher, Franco yells at you. “Ain’t nobody… NOBODY… hurting the boss! Drown in my fucking baby gravy, you PATRICIDAL FUCKRATS!”
Execute the Godfather: there are several safety clamps on the crusher with a yellow bulb on each. You find four (stable) Microwave Triggers around the crusher area and use them to destroy the safety clamps as Franco takes pot shots at you from atop the car crusher — all while Salvatore is egging him on, saying “I’m proud of you, Franco!” and “Make these rodents wish they were never fucking born!” Once you’ve destroyed all of the safety clamps, the car crusher… well, crushes the car with Salvatore Barbi inside, producing a bloody metal cube once it’s finished.
Escape the Junkyard: once Salvatore is dead, Franco jumps down and chases after you as you run back the way you came. Only issue is that the front entrance closes before you can get out. Use the Microwave Triggers to explode all of the bulbs to open the front entrance.
Exit the Trial.
Shuttle Hallucinations (MKs)
You see visions of being in the backseat of a car with Franco driving. This is intermittent with visions of Ex-pop, especially big grunts, running at you through waist high water. Throughout the hallucination, the car virgins to flood with water until you start banging against the windows for help, only for the hallucination to end as Franco shoots you from varying distances.
EXTORT THE ONLOOKERS
“Beneath the plastic mask of polite society, lies the carnal instinct to kill and fuck. you can’t exceed your instinct, so why not supersede the competition? Hunt the lowly vermin and feed their profits to our racketeer. Only then, will we let you out.”
Infiltrate the Junkyard (Shantytown): you spawn halfway in Sally’s Auto Wreckers and make your way into the shantytown to find four Microwave Triggers as well as a mannequin next to a car with “RAcKEtEER” scratched onto the door and an open trunk.
Bring Money to the Racketeer: throughout the shantytown are 4 random zones with a Scapegoat and a locked box with a money case inside. The Scapegoat can’t leave as the doors will close on him when he’s near them, so instead of running away when hit, he’ll run to a hiding spot when out of sight instead. Once you’ve killed the Scapegoat of a location, he’ll drop a key that lets you unlock the box and take the money case back to the racketeer’s car.
Exit the Trial.
FUEL THE GETAWAY VEHICLE
“We are the nectar that sustains your freedom. If you allow yourself to be caged by your own inadequacies, then we will have no choice but to discard your role and recycle your body. Prove to us, that you belong within our ranks.”
Infiltrate the Junkyard (Mechanic’s Shack): you spawn inside of Sally’s Auto Wreckers and find a broken down car with cables from its engine leading to a nearby gate blocking off the exit. You find four Portable Black Lights, like from… all of the Resort trials.
Fuel the Getaway Vehicle: around the map are 4 random areas with a code-locked box containing a fuel canister. Use the Portable Black Light to find code arrows; that look like 2—>2—>5—>8 and contort all around the area. Once you’ve unlocked the fuel canister, bring all of them back to the car to fuel it and once it’s full, it starts and opens the gate.
Exit the Trial.
FIND YOUR ALIBI
“You are the fixer. You get your hands dirty and you wash them of sin with the very same efficiency. Kill the false fixer. Get away, Scot free, with his death. And we will let you out.”
Infiltrate the Junkyard (Mechanic’s Shack): you spawn at the back entrance to Sally’s Auto Wreckers and make your way inside to find a victim, the Fixer, in a metal bed frame with a car tire pressed against his chest.
Execute the Fixer: there is a Car Battery nearby that you slot into the Fixer’s contraption, making the wheel spin to sand off his chest.
Find your Alibi: after sanding the Fixer, a car trunk opens up to reveal four Car Batteries. Beside the trunk are four keypads with a location sign above each of them. Take the Car Batteries to various vehicles in these respective locations to light up a TV that says a number, which you will need to type into the corresponding keypad to get your alibi sorted out.
Exit the Trial.
ROB THE JUNKYARD
“Families hold resources that cannot be created by a mechanic’s hand. Infiltrate the auto wreckers to steal and destroy the mafia boss’ treasure. And we will let you out.”
Infiltrate and Explore the Junkyard: you spawn in the same spot as the main trial, only there’s a wood chipper nearby, and make your way into Sally’s Auto Wreckers. Throughout the map, you have to open gates by finding unstable microwave triggers to destroy bulbs around the gate and get to the end of the junkyard.
Kidnap and Shred the Boss’ Treasure (1/2): a once you’ve regrouped at the end, by jumping into a steep pit with cushions at the bottom, you find a female mannequin that has severed breasts stapled onto her with a blood sign, among other fluids in the room (piss jars, cum stains, you name it), pointing to her saying “Franco’s Mommy.” Once you remove her from her defiled base, an alarm blares as the mommy mannequin starts talking: “Ooh! You’ve been a naughty little boy.”
Kidnap and Shred the Boss’ Treasure (2/2): you have to take the mommy mannequin back to spawn, but the gates you’ve opened to get to Franco’s man cave have all shut again and you’ll need to find Car Batteries and bring them to the gates to power and open them. Once you’ve made it back to spawn with the mommy mannequin, chuck her into the wood chipper.
Exit the Trial.
