It’s his very first day back in LEGO City, and Chase McCain has already managed to apprehend a trio of bank robbers. This hasn’t brought our hero any closer to Rex Fury, but it has proven that Chase hasn’t lost his crime-fighting skills! But before Chase can put those skills to good use again, he gets a call from Chief Dunby, who orders Chase to organize a roadblock.
City Exploration
Objective: Go to the Roadblock
Commandeer a vehicle and follow the green studs to reach the nearby Auburn Bay Bridge. Chase arrives just in time to organize a roadblock—and to see his former sweetheart, Natalia, speed by in a sports car!
Objective: Build a Call-in Point
After an emotional chat with Natalia, Chase receives new orders. Head down the hill to reach a gas station, and move into the objective beacon to advance the plot.
The gas station’s owner needs help: His station’s pumps have all broken! Fix all four of the broken pumps by approaching them and holding 
to build their bouncing LEGO bricks.
After you repair all four pumps, the owner gladly hands Chase a rare superbrick. These special goodies give you many more bricks than you’d receive just by smashing up random LEGO objects and are vital when you need lots of bricks to build something—like the nearby call-in point!
Collect the superbrick, then use the nearby scan spot to follow some footprints over to a bin that contains another superbrick. This should give you plenty of bricks to build the call-in point (you need 8,000 bricks).
Move onto the large superbuild pad near the gas station—this is where you can build the call-in point. Press 
to spend 8,000 bricks and build the call-in point. Now you can use this station to request any of the vehicles that you’ve unlocked!
Now that you’ve built the call-in point, use it to request a new vehicle. Right now, the only one you can call for is the Squaddie. Use your GamePad to select the Squaddie, and it will be instantly delivered to the call-in point. Cool!
Objective: Get the Grapple Gun
You receive new orders after your Squaddie arrives: Robbers have barricaded themselves atop some tall buildings, but you need a special tool to reach them. Hop into the Squaddie and motor off to Sheriff Huckleberry’s office. It’s a bit of a drive, so don’t hesitate to use those turbos!
Sheriff Huckleberry runs a smaller police station on the outskirts of town. He hands Chase a shiny new grapple gun, which is sure to come in handy!
Objective: Go to Jenny’s Burger Bar
Armed with the grapple gun, Chase is ready to go after those robbers. Return to your Squaddie and head to Jenny’s Burger Bar—the robbers are hiding on a nearby rooftop.
The burger-shaped roof of Jenny’s Burger Bar makes a perfect spot to scan for the robbers. Exit your vehicle and use your newfound grapple gun to climb to the Burger Bar’s roof. Simply press 
to latch on to the grapple point above the drive-through and zip upward.
Next, grapple the ladder above the drive-through and then move backward to pull it down. Now you can climb even higher!
Stand on the scan spot you find atop Jenny’s Burger Bar, and use your GamePad to scan the two tall buildings across the street. Keep searching until you locate the robbers atop the building on the right.
Objective: Get to the LEGO City TV Building
You’ve found the robbers—now you just need to apprehend them. Drop from the Burger Bar and cross the street, then use the left building’s grapple point to begin your ascent.
Use the grapple gun three times to climb up to an objective beacon. Step into the beacon to begin your rooftop pursuit.

LEGO City Hero Stud Requirement:
90,000
Objective: Reach the Other Building
Your grapple gun’s about to get a workout in this Special Assignment. Latch on to the first two overhead grapple points and swing across two wide gaps on your way across the balcony. Jump at the end of each swing to ensure you clear the gaps.
Free PlayVehicle Token 1: Bastion  During Free Play, swing across the first gap and then toggle to the astronaut disguise. Use a transporter pad to beam up to a higher rooftop you couldn’t otherwise reach.  Switch to the robber disguise and pry open a door after transporting. Use the color swapper in the small room beyond to fill your color gun with green energy.  Travel back through the transporters and blast the red switch on the background wall with green energy. This opens two nearby doors.  Enter the door on the right and repair the fuse box in the small room beyond. This opens the elevator, exposing a vehicle token! |
Free PlayPolice Shield Piece 1  Find and water five planters around the rooftops to score a shield piece. The first one is hidden in the room to the left of the transporter pad, which you can open only during Free Play. See the previous “Vehicle Token 1: Bastion” Free Play sidebar for details on how to open this room. Check the maps to see where all five planters are found. |
Use another grapple point to zip up to the balcony, then jump onto the thin white and blue ledge to the right. Chase automatically performs a wall hug when he stands on thin ledges like this. Inch over to the next balcony on the right.
Snare the next grapple point, then move backward to pull down an overhead object. The object smashes into LEGO bricks; build them into a trampoline, then bounce up to the next balcony.
Smash the highest balcony’s patio furniture, then build the bricks into a special object called a catapult pad. Run onto the catapult pad, and it will send you flying over to the neighboring building. Wahoo!
Objective: Arrest the First Robber
The robbers flee when Chase lands on their building. You’ve got to catch them! Climb the nearby blue drainpipe to begin your pursuit.
Chase gets a chance to show off his acrobatic skills during his rooftop pursuit. Run to the right, and press 
each time you near a vent that’s covered with blue and white LEGOs. Chase will either vault the vent or slide underneath it, without skipping a beat!
Free PlayRed Brick: Fast Build  During Free Play, toggle to the astronaut disguise and jump onto the blue and white LEGO vents, rather than vaulting them. Then boost up to the rooftop.  Smash three air conditioners on the rooftop, then build their bricks into three solar panels. This powers a nearby generator, which starts up a floor fan.  Jump into the fan’s updraft, and it will blow you up to a higher roof, where this stage’s red brick sits. |
Run straight across the blue balance beam that follows. If you keep falling, try slowly stepping onto the beam first, then start running after Chase finds his balance.
Jump up the blue and white handholds beyond the balance beam to reach a higher balcony. Chase catches up to the first robber here. Press 
to toss him to the ground, then quickly press 
to arrest him while he’s down.
Police Shield Piece 2  After arresting the first robber, smash a nearby pink cart to discover some bricks that you can assemble into an antenna. Find and build two more antennas around the rooftops to earn a shield piece! Check the maps to see where the antennas are located. |
Free PlayPolice Shield Piece 3  After arresting the first robber, jump the railing to the right and land on a lower rooftop below. Switch to the construction worker disguise and fix a fuse box down here to activate a satellite dish. Find and repair two more satellites around the rooftops to score a shield piece! Check the maps to see where the satellites stand. |
Free PlayCharacter Token 1:Snakes Squealer  Chop through the boarded door on the rooftop where you find the first robber, then crack the safe in the small room beyond to discover this stage’s first character token. |
Objective: Arrest the Second Robber
After arresting the first robber, climb the nearby blue and white wall to reach the rooftop. Run to the right and jump onto a tightrope, and you’ll slide over to the next building.
Free PlayCharacter Token 2:Conrad Peters  Before sliding down the tightrope, toggle to the construction worker and drill the shaky ground on the roof above the blue and white climbable wall. This uncorks a water geyser that boosts you up onto the nearby water tower.  Pull the water tower’s lever to make some bricks spill out onto the roof. Drop and build these into an RC car.  Jump onto the nearby cage and stand on the action symbol. Press |
to take control of the RC car, then drive it into the cage’s small opening. Use the RC car to collect the character token inside the cage.
Chase must swing from a series of blue and white flagpoles to advance. Just keep swinging and leaping between the flagpoles until you reach the far balcony. Grab the handhold on the balcony’s edge, then jump up to solid ground.
Next, climb some vines to reach a small balcony. Climb the nearby blue and white drainpipe to reach the building’s roof.
Run to the left to locate a wall runway. These are similar to catapult pads, except they make Chase perform a wall-run instead of simply thrusting him through the air. Step onto the wall runway, and watch as Chase deftly sprints across the wall of the building!
The second robber makes his stand on the roof beyond the wall runway. Throw him to the ground as you did before, then slap on the cuffs to bring him to justice.
Arrest the Third Robber
You’re doing great! Run toward the background and jump between the blue and white walls to wall-jump up to a higher roof.
All right, you’ve already caught the third robber! These guys must be getting tired from running. Make the arrest, then begin your pursuit of the robber leader.
Police Shield Piece 4  Arresting the third robber earns you this stage’s final shield piece. Easy enough! |
Free PlayVehicle Token 2:Broadcaster  After busting the third robber, slide under the vent to the left and open the space crate to beam in some dynamite.  Carry the dynamite over to the right. Instead of skipping across the thin poles, drop to the lower roof to discover a silver skylight. Blast this to bits with the dynamite, then drop through the hole. |
You land in a small office, where a vehicle token sits. Score!
Arrest the Robber Leader
After arresting the third robber, notice a pair of thin poles to the right. Chase can hop across poles like these with ease! Just jump onto the first pole, then jump again to land on the second. Make one last leap to reach the far roof.
Vault the blue and white vent beyond the thin poles, and you’ll land near the robber leader. The crook isn’t about to be caught so easily, though, and quickly slides down a tightrope. Hurry after him!
The tightrope leads to a building with a steep, sloped roof. Just keep pressing the Jump button to run up the roof without slipping. Take a breather on one of the flat areas if you like.
Slide down the roof’s other side to catch up to the robber leader. Again, the crook flees—but not before he destroys the balance beam he used to reach the next building. Fortunately, a news helicopter flies up between the buildings. Latch on to the chopper’s grapple point and swing across!
Jump up the handholds that stick out from the next building. You soon catch up to the robber leader, but he flees yet again by hoisting himself up in a lift. Use your grapple gun again to zip upward and continue this epic pursuit!
Use a catapult pad to soar over to a foreground building. At last, Chase catches up to the robber leader, who misjudged his jump and is clinging desperately to the roof’s edge. Chase takes the opportunity to question the crook before reaching down to save his life.
