Mutant Bash TV

Consider doing this job after you’ve attacked the Authority Bridge. At that point you’ll have the Authority Pulse Cannon, a weapon that makes it much easier to mow down Authority enforcers. Before heading for the Gearhead Vault, visit Jani and purchase at least 200 Authority Pulse Rounds and 3 EMP Grenades. If you don’t have the Authority Pulse Cannon yet, you can accomplish the job with the Authority Machine Gun loaded with Authority AV2x Rounds.

Enter the Gearhead Vault via the CCRA Management Office and creep through the parking garage on your way to the bank. The first mobile generator is located in the parking garage, guarded by a couple of enforcers and a turret. Mow down the enforcers and then toss an EMP Grenade at the generator to power down the turret—one down, two to go. The Authority Pulse Cannon has no problem ripping through enforcers, including those armed with energy shields. Attack aggressively and seek out the next mobile generator located on the right side of the bank lobby. Grab the Gearhead Shotgun collector card here if you missed it earlier. Knocking out the second generator with an EMP Grenade deactivates an energy barrier, allowing you to pass through the nearby hall to reach the vault area. Eliminate the enforcers posted near the large staircase and look for the Gearhead Jet collector card in a dusty office at the top of the steps. The vault is now off limits, but continue advancing through the bank until you find the third and final mobile generator in the offices on the first floor. Toss an EMP Grenade at the generator and then gun down the enforcer guarding it to wrap up the job. There is no cash payment for this job, so be sure to loot every enforcer body to help compensate for your expenses.

Mutant Bash TV is the single best way to earn big money. After receiving your sponsorship from JK Stiles, you can return to the Mutant Bash studio at any time to play another round of this action-packed game show. The layout and gameplay is the same as before, despite JK’s warning that the new episode is more challenging. No matter how experienced you are, always go into the studio well-prepared, bringing at least 60 rounds of Buckshot for your Combat Shotgun and half a dozen Wingsticks.

The key to making big money in Mutant Bash TV is by killing the mutants as fast as possible while maintaining high accuracy—you’re awarded money based on time and accuracy. The Combat Shotgun is the perfect weapon for ensuring high accuracy. Not only is one blast of Buckshot enough to kill a mutant, it’s hard to miss. Still, wait until a mutant is directly in front of you before pulling the trigger. If you want to take out more distant mutants, rely on your Wingsticks. When you reach the bonus round in the third arena, use your Settler Pistol to carefully shoot the target below the slot machine-like prop. Shoot the target to make the wheel above stop. Line up as many dollar sign icons as possible across the three wheels. With each successful round, the wheels spin faster and faster. This part of the game isn’t timed, so keep your cool and study the spinning wheels before shooting the target. If you make the wheel stop on a mutant icon, the bonus round is over and you get nothing. But if you get through the bonus round without hitting a mutant icon, you’re paid $1 for every dollar sign that stops on the line. In addition, you get a $9 bonus for matching “$$$” on all three wheels. Following the bonus round, continue blasting mutants. At the end of the fourth arena you don’t have to kill a tentacle mutant, so proceed to the stage to get paid. If you want to play Mutant Bash TV again, exit the studio and reenter to ask JK Stiles for another go.

After exiting the fourth and final arena, look for the Scoop Mutant collector card sitting on a crate on the left side of the hall.
