Walkthrough[]
After chasing Hartman out of Active Investigations, head to the room in the southwest corner of the area and approach the now-powered SHÜM arcade cabinet to start the mission. On the arcade machine, two options are available: Crowd Control and Deadline. Select either option.
Crowd Control[]
Crowd Control is a relatively straightforward mode which involves surviving several large waves of various Hiss enemies in a single area, from standard Hiss enemies such as Hiss Guards and Hiss Rangers to harder enemies such as Hiss Troopers and Hiss Warped, and includes one random boss enemy in the final wave. It takes place in an exact replica of the central Logistics area of the Containment Sector. There is no specific strategy for this mode due to the varied enemies; however, it may be advisable to use Seize to gain some momentary backup and draw away enemy fire.
Deadline[]
Deadline also takes place within a replica of the Logistics area of the Containment Sector, and also involves defeating large waves of various Hiss enemies. The goal of Deadline is to kill 50 Hiss enemies (of any type) within a 30-second time limit; each enemy killed or Seized will add 5 more seconds to the timer.
Successfully completing either Crowd Control or Deadline for the first time will complete the mission. Completing either game mode will unlock a harder challenge mode for that mode on the original SHÜM machine. It will also unlock the SHÜM 2 arcade machine, which includes additional game modes:
- A mode to replay each boss enemy from the main game (The Anchor, esseJ, Mold-1, and Former.)
- Feedback Loop: a boss rush mode where all four bosses from the main game must be fought one after another.
- A mode to replay the Ashtray Maze.
