The Deathloop Prize Scheme Super Shifty challenge is a very difficult set of tasks, but if you put in the time and effort to complete all of the tests, you will receive the Heritage gun as a reward, one of the strongest weapons in the game. The Fathoms of Lament building in Karl’s Bay will be your first stop in this Charlie Montague game, but the game’s other levels will transport you all around the level. In order to complete the final challenge and be eligible to receive the gun reward, each of these levels requires finding presents hidden throughout the area and successfully opening them all.
This weapon, the Heritage, is one of the best Deathloop guns in the game and it transforms between two forms: a shotgun, which is honestly kind of lame because of its ridiculously broad pellet spread, and a hyper-accurate rifle, which is virtually a one-shot kill for all the basic foes. The Deathloop Reward Scheme Super Shifty task is one of the most irksome objectives in Deathloop, yet it’s still worth the effort to complete it.
How to start the Deathloop Reward Scheme challenge
You’ll need to visit the Fathoms of Lament game in Karl’s Bay in the evening to begin the Deathloop Reward Scheme mission and receive the Super Shifty quest. Inside the building, you’ll see a map next to the gun you’re attempting to win, and one of the doors will be open.
Five of the lights on the map will randomly be turned on during each loop. There will be a “gift” at each site as well as a difficulty to get past, such as guards, trip mines, or turrets, plus a few exceptional situations. You will have to attempt the challenge again on a different loop if you fail it or unintentionally blow up the present. You’ll be able to enter a new door in the Fathoms of Lament for a last task to get to your gun price if you are able to open all five presents successfully.
The majority of presents explode in your face, even if you do get to open one. It is therefore advisable to open them and retreat quickly. One of the Deathloop Trinkets can be found within if they don’t go boom.
How to complete the Deathloop Reward Scheme challenges
The Shift teleport and Aether invisibility powers can help you get past security lasers and turrets and move around more quickly if you’re attempting the Deathloop Super Shifty challenge.
A present will be hidden in a few places, and you’ll need to get past a few guards or turrets to get to it. There are a few places, though, where the gifts pose particular risks:
Hangar 1 – The present will be surrounded by trip mines. Teleport in somewhere safe to open it or use Aether to walk through the beams.
Hangar 2 – You’ll need to pull a series of switches here before the time runs out. These can be found in the following positions:
- Switch 1 – By the present.
- Switch 2 – Directly opposite.
- Switch 3 – From the second switch look to the other side of the hangar, to the lower level by the cockpit
- wing.
- Switch 4 – Almost directly opposite from the third, at the far end of the hangar.
- Switch 5 – Turn right from the fourth switch and look up to the gantry above.
- Switch 6 – On the nose of the hanging plane.
If you pull all the levers within the time limit, the present will flash, indicating you can open it.
Between Hangar 1 and 2 – if a present appears here, it will be surrounded by mines.
Inside the Dawn of Reason building, there will always be one present. This present should be saved for last because it seems to include codes that can only be made by finishing the other presents; otherwise, you won’t have all the solutions.
The last present is hidden behind a closed door, and if you can’t open it in the allotted three minutes, it’ll blow up and you’ll fail. You should learn how to interpret the pictogram next to the code wheel, as the coloured bars in the centre show which number it is—1, 2, 3, or 4—and the coloured ring segment will show you the number to type on the door dial.
Not all the codes, however, will be as clear; some are divided such that you can only see them if you look at particular walls, floors, or pillars from a particular aspect or perspective. But don’t worry; if you take your time to find the photographs, the three minutes allotted will be more than enough to obtain the four codes. Keep your phone nearby, or have a pen and paper handy to jot down the numbers as you go, and you should be able to remember them all.
The final Deathloop Reward Scheme puzzle
You can enter the Fathoms of Lament building through the door to the right of the map once you have successfully claimed all the gifts. As you enter, the first thing you should do is search ahead for some wood. When you smash it, you’ll be able to observe and hack the nullifier that is stifling your Deathloop abilities. The actual discomfort now starts.
You must quickly complete the two-level assault course while pushing the levers as they engage in order to obtain the pistol. Your game’s order will be random, but it will be the same each time, so you may memorise it. As you pull one lever, a new one will beep, and you’ll need to move quickly to pull it before the timer runs out. The course will stop and you will have to restart it if you strike a blue security laser. To prevent activating any of the beams, once more employ Aether’s invisibility and Shift’s teleport. It will take a few attempts, but after you’ve pulled all the levers the pistol is yours.
The Heritage is a convertible weapon that converts from a shotgun that fires pellets to a rifle that fires slugs. Since the spread is a broad flat line and is weak at all ranges, the shotgun mode isn’t very impressive. But the rifle mode is a total beast, killing practically all enemies with a single shot and including a superb auto aim that locks onto targets when you aim.
