Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the COG spawn's Home Goods area, press the fire alarm on the left wall.
  2. 2
    Go right into the electronics section. Shoot open the box blocking a door to find an extinguisher. Pick it up.
  3. 3
    Head to the Pharmacy spawn (Locust). In the back, use the extinguisher on the burning fire alarm switch. Outside the metal bars, a cart with a Red top hat will appear. Shoot it with the Hammerburst until it explodes.
  4. 4
    Go to the pair of windows on the right outside the Pharmacy spawn. Stand in front of the left window and aim into it. Another Red Hat will appear; shoot it until it explodes.
  5. 5
    Enter the checkout area. A truck will catch fire; use the extinguisher to put it out. Your character will comment, "Throwing Smoke."
  6. 6
    Go to the bathroom in your spawn area. Shoot Griffin's cane hanging from the ceiling until it retreats.
  7. 7
    Return to the Electronics area. On the left of the back door, a microwave is on fire. Put it out. A smoke grenade will go off behind the doors. Look through the window to see a Wretch wearing a top hat and cane, dancing.
Tips
  • If playing alone, use King of the Hill mode with one casual bot.
  • Start with the Hammerburst and set the score to the highest count.
  • Play on the COG team.
  • An accurate weapon like the Hammerburst is recommended for hitting the Red Hats through small window cracks.
