How to Escape the Story Warehouse
Return Chute, Trash Bot, Lorenzo, Master Key, Mining Site map, Plasma Drill — then the countdown.
Why this warehouse is different
The story Warehouse is longer than a loot clear. After you defeat the Trash Bot and finish the interior objectives, destroying the factory control panel starts a self-destruct countdown (about five minutes). If you have not marked an exit, you lose vehicles and progress to the blast.
General clearing tips still help: clear warehouses, warehouses overview.
Step-by-step escape route
- Mark a Return Chute early while climbing floors — note which chute leads back outside.
- Clear exterior and Anti-theft story locks, then follow arrows, Utility rooms and elevators toward the roof.
- Beat the Trash Bot — bait patterns, damage the exposed glowing head in open windows.
- Rescue Lorenzo, use the Warehouse Master Key, inspect the Mining Site 01 survey map, and collect Plasma Drill Level 1.
- Reach the bot-production controls and destroy the factory control panel — the countdown begins.
- Sprint to your marked chute. Move important vehicles beyond the blast radius before the timer hits zero.
Next destination: Mining Site 01 and Mining Island.
Checklist before you pull the panel
- Healing food and Spud ammo restocked.
- Exit chute memorised (not just a random elevator).
- Chassis parked outside or ready to drive clear in under a minute.
- Inventory space for Plasma Drill and key items.
