Open the objective screen and interact with the Right Hand of God in the Emperor’s chamber to receive your next mission. There’s a fuse box on the wall near the weapon forge in the command room. Interact with it to reveal a random pattern of four colors. Additionally, this activates three more fuse boxes scattered throughout the village.
Once you activate the first fuse box in the command room, you have sixty seconds to race across the map and flip the switches on the others. This is a tough run, especially if you’re doing this solo, so it’s worth investing in Laufenblitz if you don’t already have it. Next, follow these steps:
- From the command room, return to the village square.
- Drop into the sewer tunnels and hit the fuse box outside the Catacombs.
- Run through the Catacombs to the Riverside exit, activating the fuse box at the end of the tunnel.
- Sprint across the Riverside to the Bridge and up through the Pub to the fuse box located outside the gate to the Tower.
Once complete, you’ve successfully activated the lightning rods, which are located at the end of the road outside the Tower. Now you must defend the rods from zombies while the rods power up. If this becomes too difficult, try to distract the horde with a Jack-in-the-Box. Don’t worry about causing damage to the rods when using your grenades.
It’s probably wise to station a player or two with machine guns to watch the Bridge. Many of the zombies are focused on the rods during this section, so it’s not as dangerous as it could be, but it’s still a potentially lethal objective.
