Sunset Overdrive: Mission 1 - Horror Night

Mission 1 - Horror Night

Your first objective of the game is to escapes the train station and you’re really going to want to do so before the OD catch up to you. Follow the on-screen prompts, using the Dodge Roll to avoid any foes while also making your way toward the objective marker on your screen.

Tip: This game does a great job of showing you what to do next, whether it’s a written objective on the left side of your HUD, or a giant arrow showing you where you need to go. Stop and look around if you find yourself lost at all, or just read our guide… I mean, just saying.

Once you complete your first objective you’ll get another, challenging you to get across the street. Again, look for the arrows on your screen and make your way over there. Once you arrive turn to your left and start climb in order to get to the top of the building.

By now you should have figured out that you’ve been thrust into the middle of a tutorial, so do as the game instructs and get across the highway and then get to your apartment.

Once you reach the apartment you’ll be greeted by one very angry enemy. This should update your objective to escape from the giant mutant and you’ll need to follow the on-screen prompts to learn how to undergrind and escape before the beast turns you into mashed potatoes.

Tip: When grinding or undergrinding players can press X to flip from one to the other, this is especially useful in avoid enemies that hop onto power lines with you.

Continue making your way until you come to cut scene with a guy yelling that he has a gun. He'll experience a bit of technical difficulty and then you'll be greeted with the new possession of a Flaming Compensator. This will prompt your next objective to kill the mutants while grinding or bouncing. Follow the instructions and aim your new toy at the clusters of OD to quickly rack up the eight kills required of you.

After making quick use of the OD the game asked you to murder it’s time for them to ask an even bigger challenge from our resident garbage man. Defeat the Giant Mutant. This turns out to be a bit of a trick though, as we shot him once before he grabbed us and it triggered a well-timed cut scene.

Once the cut scene is over you’ll need to get home, and objective that is nearly 100 meters away. Again follow the arrows on your screen and grind, bounce, and grind some more to make your way up to your front door. Time for another cut scene.
