As you journey along Road 96 en route to the border, you’ll encounter various characters needing assistance (or whom you may need to evade). These sections are crucial as your decisions can shape people’s perceptions of political figures and lead to one of several possible conclusions based on your actions. In the scenario called “Short Circuit”, it is Alex who requires your aid in defusing a bomb that he unintentionally created.
In the game Road 96, due to its randomly generated levels, the chapter featuring the broken-down gas station with Alex may appear at different points during your gameplay. Regardless of when it occurs, you’ll need to assist Alex to continue your journey. Here’s a breakdown of Short Circuit, detailing where to locate all collectibles and the car keys hidden in a secret safe.
How to Solve Short Circuit in Road 96
Upon stepping into the dilapidated gas station in Short Circuit for the first time, you’ll find yourself with a moment to explore and get your bearings. Inside, Alex is engrossed in his work on the bomb, providing an opportunity for you to deface any Tyrak or Florres posters you come across, and take a closer look at the surroundings before interacting with him. Once you’re prepared, there are two avenues to approach: You can call out to him from outside the building, or stealthily enter through the back entrance of the structure, surprising him from behind. This unexpected encounter may startle Alex, causing him to wonder if you possess ninja-like skills.
In the subsequent scene, your character realizes he’s handling some sort of explosive device. If you previously dissuaded him from constructing this bomb for Robert in a past chapter with John, he’ll now search for methods to disable it. Alternatively, if he built it, he’ll proceed to finish the task and still call on you to assist as his ‘decoy,’ helping him find the correct way to disarm or arm it effectively.
In this scenario, you concur and later, your character will inquire if you’ve checked the electricity. Alex will instruct you on using a nail gun to trace the power cables. Here, what you should do is tap the ceiling panels gently with the nail gun, which will help you determine where the cable is running to. Once you discover that the cable leads outside, inform Alex about it.
To find the old shed located right beside the gas station, head outside through the entrance door you came in. You’ll notice a power cable running from the side of the gas station and leading towards that old shed. Call out for Alex who will instruct you to unlock the shed door using the nail gun. After breaking the lock, you’ll find a generator inside, but without locating its key first, you won’t be able to turn it on.
Fortunately, you won’t have to search extensively; the solution is concealed within a compartment in the shed. However, when you reach for it initially, be prepared for a shock. After finding amusement in your predicament, he will provide you with a magnet to extract the key from the electrified panel without getting shocked. To avoid electric shocks, simply guide the key slowly through the panel, ensuring the metal part doesn’t touch the electrified knobs. Rubber pieces placed along the puzzle can be used as supports to navigate the small maze more easily.
After retrieving the key, you can initiate the generator which will illuminate the entire gas station and draw a couple of new NPCs, apparently Tyrak sympathizers. Alex appears to disapprove of these individuals, so he suggests causing them some inconvenience. He’ll provide you with a button that you can push when they touch their car, resulting in an electric shock for them. Your task here is simply to press the button whenever one of them touches their vehicle, and they’ll receive a jolt.
I’m sorry to say, Alex may overreact with a boisterous laugh to someone else’s misfortune. After administering some of Alex’s electronic remedy, they’ll likely take notice of you. At this point, you’ll need to find a way to escape and hide, but don’t worry, the following events are scripted, so there’s no further action required from you at the moment. After some time has passed, you’ll be able to resume control over your character. At that point, Alex will have departed, leaving you free to move on. You can choose your mode of transportation – borrow a car, hitch a ride, take public transit, or simply walk down the road. The decision is yours entirely.
Where to Find the Car Keys in Short Circuit
In the Short Circuit chapter as a gamer, I didn’t stumble upon a ton of collectibles, but there’s one neat little secret that might come in handy – finding keys for an old, abandoned car. These keys will help me on my trek towards the border. To uncover them, you’ll need to discover a hidden safe somewhere along your way. Good luck!
It’s vital that you do this while you have the nail gun that Alex gives you.
In this section of the story, you won’t find the keys either before or after because the safe is concealed behind a Tyrak poster in the gas station. This poster can only be removed with a nail gun. Once you’ve taken it down, you can access the safe whenever you like. If you possess the skill to hack, you can bypass this step and open the safe directly; otherwise, you’ll need to find the correct code to unlock it.
To get the code, you’ll need a nail gun as well since it’s hidden inside a box that falls from the ceiling. If you arrive slightly late, here’s the code: 1218. After emptying the safe, don’t forget to take one last glance and deface some posters. Then, you can select your preferred mode of transportation and proceed to the next phase in your Road 96 adventure.
