Fog Rolling In

This side quest has players complete a series of tasks involving experimenting on and cooking Vermin and spreading the blood of that Vermin into the mansion's air vents, changing the color of the smoke in all of the chimneys.

Requirements

The Wunderwaffe DG-2 is required to complete this side quest. You can earn a free Wunderwaffe DG-2 without spinning the box from another side quest. You will also need a Chopper Gunner for the final part of this side quest.

Step 1: Acquire the Vermin

Head to the Supply Depot and look into the broken vent to the left of the workbench to find some Vermin remains that you can interact with to pick up.

Step 2: Experiment with the Vermin

Head to the Mainframe Chamber and place the Vermin on the medical tray on the crafting table side of the room.

Once you have placed the Vermin on the tray, you must be very precise and shoot three bottles near that tray in the correct order, otherwise, the Vermin will be destroyed and you will need to restart the game to attempt this quest again. The bottles you need to shoot in the correct order are:

  • Far Bottom Right Bottle

  • Big Pack of Blue Vials

  • Big Bottle next to the far bottom right bottle

If done correctly, the Vermin will begin emitting yellow smoke. If done incorrectly, it will be destroyed, as previously mentioned, and you will need to start a new game to attempt this side quest again.

Step 3: Cook the Vermin

Interact with the Vermin on the tray to pick it back up. You must now place the Vermin in any of the three microwaves found inside the mansion to cook for about 10-15 seconds, the microwave locations are listed below:

West Hallways, outside of the Director's Quarters

Once the Vermin is placed inside the microwave, wait for the smoke emitting from the microwave to turn red indicating you pick the Vermin back up by interacting with the microwave.

Step 4: Spread the Vermin Blood

Head back down to the Mainframe Chamber and on either staircase leading up to the Pack-a-Punch Machine will be a pool of blood that you can crouch down and place the Vermin on by interacting.

Once the Vermin has been placed, use the Wunderwaffe DG-2 on the big fan above the staircase you placed the Vermin on to power it, sucking the Vermin up and destroying it spreading the blood through the air vents.

Step 5: Shoot all the Chimneys

Head out to the Motor Court to find all the mansion's chimneys emitting red smoke now. Activate a Chopper Gunner scorestreak and shoot all of the chimneys to launch some fireworks out of them.

Once all the chimneys have been shot and you have exited the Chopper Gunner a thick fog will begin rolling in after a brief period spawning in a bunch of Dark Aether Crystals around the map that you can destroy to get some loot like equipment and salvage, completing this side quest.
