Hal's fourth mission in Serial Cleaners opens with his discovery that the junkyard the crew uses to dispose of cars has been raided. He needs to remove all the evidence from the scene, but this mission has some of the most dangerous enemies in the game. SWAT snipers are perched throughout the junkyard, and if they spot you it's very likely game over.

Successfully clearing the junkyard requires a blend of stealth alongside Hal's more traditional, direct approach. Read on to learn how to make it out alive, including removing a tricky piece of evidence from right under a sniper's nose!

How To Neutralize The Patrolling Cops

At the start of the mission, there's a body just inside the junkyard gate. Make sure the nearby cop is looking, then cut up the body to make him faint. You can then drop him off in the dumpster a short walk to the north; there's even a piece of evidence to pick up on the way!

With the cop out of the picture, clean up the mess around the body then return to the dumpster and take a right. There's a SWAT officer on the level above you, but he's facing away from you and won't turn around unless you make a noise. Carefully vacuum up the blood at the end of the passage, then grab the body and bring it back to the car.

Continuing further toward the crane will put you in the SWAT sniper's line of fire, so instead take a right when you re-enter the junkyard. You'll find a small room with a wall that can be sawed through. Climb the ladder on the other side and crawl through the tunnel on the left. Make your way across the roof to reach the body in the upper-left corner of the map. The body can be disposed of by throwing it into the grinder below, near where you exited the tunnel.

Kick down the ladder on the left, then saw through the nearby fence to give yourself more navigation options. You can easily return to the car from here and save.

From the car, return to the area on the right and walk past the ladder. Jump down to the big evidence below - a briefcase - and throw it at the cop patrolling nearby to knock him out. Put him in the dumpster that the briefcase was lying next to, then retrieve the item and use it to knock out the cop to the north. There's another dumpster near his patrol route that you can lock him in.

Collect the small piece of evidence between the two patrol routes. Next, carefully make your way to the crane, crouching to help prevent the sniper from seeing you. Activate the crane to move its payload to the right, clearing the way back to the main entrance. Drop off the briefcase at the car, then return.

There are two bodies to the right, but both are being watched by snipers; you can't make them faint, so instead crawl through the tunnel under the crane payload into the building. Wait for the cop on the top floor to enter the office on the right by keeping an eye on him with Cleaner Sense; when he does, rush upstairs and chainsaw through the planks in the lower right corner. Kick down the ladder, then return and slam the door on the cop to knock him out.

How To Get Past The Snipers

Quickly clean up the blood and cut up the body, and bring one of the limbs back outside. Use the ramps near the dump truck to sneak up on the rightmost sniper and bash him with the limb. While he's unconscious, toss the limb into the dump truck so that you don't have to come back for it, then hop down and pick up the body he was watching. Get it out of the sniper's line of sight before he wakes up, then return it to the car.

Go back inside the building and retrieve the other limb, knocking out the cop again if you have to. Once the limb is disposed of, you can clean up the body lying next to the main door. All that's left is to get the evidence behind the sniper on the small crane.

This is a very tricky feat to accomplish, as the sniper is too high to hit with any thrown objects from the ground and reacts almost immediately when you climb the ladder. Start by making sure your stamina is full and that neither sniper has seen you recently. When you're ready, climb the ladder and immediately move away from the sniper, picking up the evidence as you go. Hal will fall off the crane. The moment you hit the ground, run for the main gate. If your timing is just right, you'll be out of sight before either marksman can get a clear shot.

The briefcase can't be used to immediately neutralize the sniper. Either you won't be able to throw it before being shot, or it will bounce off the crane before hitting its target.

Once the last piece of evidence is cleared away, you'll be able to hop in your car and leave the junkyard behind!
