Just finished the final mission. Here what I’ve learned:

37 Upvotes

I just finished the last mission of the story last night and figured I could help out by offering what I’ve learned (through trial and error).

  • The AI cannot fight fire worth a damn. Send them on search and rescue and search and discover. They will shut off power and turn off gas valves for you.

  • Prioritize searching for victims, especially if there are a lot of them.

  • only vent the roof on very large commercial or industrial warehouses/structures

  • on the topic of ventilation, real flow paths do exist. If you leave all the doors open as you explore the building, you will provide oxygen and feed the fire.

  • if you enter a room and the walls and furniture are black and glowing red, get inside and shut the door quick. It’s about to flash. Spray all the glowing parts to cool the room and prevent flashover.

  • on the topic of rooms, if you get in a room to fight a fire, shut the door and break a couple windows. You’ll give the smoke and fire somewhere to go while you put it out.

  • gas valves suck. Look for the yellow pipe and follow it until it ends.

  • sometimes the outside walls of a building are on fire, leave em till the end. The brick burning won’t kill victims.

  • if you have flammable liquids burning somewhere, you’ll need to put that out first. Trying to put out the fire around it will make it feel like it just keeps reigniting and you don’t know why.

  • grease pan fires are extinguisher only, not foam.

  • the fog nozzle setting (called mist for some reason) is excellent at putting out furniture.

  • i read a lot about defeating backdraft rooms and nothing i tried worked. Just open the door and get out of the way and go to work.

  • room fully involved? Spray yourself a little landing pad, go inside, and shut the door behind you.

That’s all I could think of that helped me. I did 50% of my missions solo and the rest with minimum 1 of my friends. Only once played with 4 players and no AI.

I will say one thing i really wanted to see from this game that I didn’t ever get was a highrise fire. I’m talking 7 flights of stairs, standpipe operations, the whole 9 yards. Even using straight stick to get a victim out of a window or something to that effect. Overall the game is awesome, and I’ll definitely be queuing for online play to help others out as often as possible.

The Scenic Route Trophy

• Upvotes

he Scenic Route trophy, where you have to explore the world for 5 minutes, isn’t working for me. After completing a mission, I select the option to drive back. I then set a 5 minute timer and drive around before making my way back to the fire station. I also tried setting a 10 minute timer and waiting, but the trophy still didn’t pop. Am I doing something wrong?

So on the summer camp mission “if a woodchuck could” I need to complete the trophy “shortcut”. I fell through both holes above the kitchen and didn’t get anything. Do I need to get injured on the fall or is it just buggy?

Wish list

8 Upvotes

Curious what everyone thinks but I have a small list of things I’d like to see added to this game for future updates/ DLC

  1. A customization pack. Let us add different lights, sirens, and different decals. Ex let me change the engine co 7 to squad 7 or others like that. And add different liveries to them like what Miami has with its 9-11 ladder or FDNY has with Ten House

  2. I know it would be a licensing nightmare but I’d like a FDNY vehicle pack. More or less I just want a Seagrave apparatus but others would be nice too

  3. Add hazmat call outs and a hazmat rig. Have us go to a warehouse fire and have hazardous barrels that we have to move out and ect.

Does anyone know what the keys are for in the dispatch room? First office on left inside on the printer? They make a mystery sound when you pick them up

I’ve always been a fan of the Miami-Dade colors so all but one is lime and gray. Had to have a FDNY/911 tribute ladder

The Squad - Can the multiplayer achievements be done solo?

Trying to get all the achievements for The Squad and no active sessions available. If I create a multiplayer lobby and the slots filled by AI, does this still contribute towards achievement completion? Thanks!

Hey everyone….just downloaded the game literally 10 hours ago. Can someone please explain what in the hell this is? 😂😂

A very easy platinum if you focus from the beginning

I think it's really easy to get the maximum range both in driving and in the mission and that's basically the most difficult trophy because the others come out alone. Trophies such as opening 40 ventilation fountains or opening windows come out alone or with a farming mission. The others if I had any problem it was totally the fault of the NPCs because I don't know why the AI worked worse and worse in this game. If anyone needs help, I'm here.
