After filling the cart, you musthaul it all the way back to the start of the trialto continue the production. Once again, you must place the drugs in the revolving window, collect them from the other side, and bring them to the cooker.

How To Put Poison In The Drugs

Your next step in the production line is to poison the drugs, but the game doesn’t exactly tell you how to. There aredouble doors adjacent to the cookerwith aPoison warningsymbol beside it. You mustgo through this chemical roomto retrieve a chemical canister.

If you areexposed to chemicalsfor too long,you will startlosing health. This can be from staying inside a chemical room too long or from holding a chemical canister for too long.

How To Survive The Chemicals

You will die in the Chemical Storage area unless you make sure to find doors that lead to fresh air while in it. When searching for canisters, make sure touse any side door that says “Stairs” or leads elsewhere. That will most likely be where you find fresh air.

The locationof chemical canisters willchange each match.

The first thing you should do isfind a shortcut to fresh airother than where you came from.

When you find the canisters, drop them outsidein the fresh air. Once you have an escape plan, you may keep diving in and out of this area until you have found all the canisters.

The chemical storage area has three levels: the main level, an upstairs level, and a downstairs level.Canisters can be found anywherein these locations.

Where Is The Cargo Hold?

After collecting all the poison, the game will tell you to reach the Cargo Hold, but it will not tell you how to get there. Justbefore the chemical storage outside,there is asign that says Cargo Hold(see photo above).

To activate the entrance to the Cargo Hold, you mustenter the control roomto the right (when looking at the Cargo Hold sign).

You can enter the control room through revolving doors.Press the red buttonin the center toactivate the stairs that will lower to the Cargo Hold. Go back outside to reach the stairs.

The trial is about done here. You mustcollect at least six drugsandstuff them into bodies in the Cargo Hold. That means thatmultiple players should be grabbing the drugsfrom the cooker and adding them to their inventory.
