STORY MISSION 11 – Buck National Vs. The Apocalypse
Rewards: 1000 Overcharge, Bucky Shirt, Bucky Gloves
Before the official "start" of this mission you will need to do some things.
See Floyd about where to find a computer processor
Fast travel to the Brewery and chat to Floyd to find out the part location.
Get into Buck National's hunting blind
You will obtain the ability to super bounce here. This means if you press A just before landing on a bounce object, you will bounce higher than normal. This is what you need to reach the upper floor of Buck's hideaway. Work your way over to the tower and super bounce your way inside.
Get a bronze rank or above in episode 1: Buck National vs. the apocalypse
This acts as your introduction to challenges. These are short tasks or activities you can perform to obtain rewards and retry for better scores at a later point when you have better weaponry. For now, we're just trying to scrape through with a bronze, but you can try to get a higher score if you want. Scramble over to the marked challenge marker and activate it when you're ready (you may want to smash some ammo crates before starting if you can to top up).
Ranks:
Bronze: 50,000 points = $300
Silver: 150,000 points = $1000
Gold: 250,000 points = Pants, 1000 Overcharge
The idea of Buck's challenges is to follow his instructions while killing enemies as stylishly and explosively as possible. You have a time limit to accomplish as many of his tasks as possible, gaining you bonus points each time you accomplish one. The following list is the goals (instructions) that popped up during my session. They may be different for you. Deaths also don't make much difference here as you just lose some time reviving.
Bounce kills (3): Bounce on an object and shoot enemies or perform a ground slam after bouncing on an object
Grind kills (3): While grinding, shoot enemies or melee them if they are on the wire
Blower OD kills (2): Shoot the enemy blowers that appear
Kills with pain train (5): In the center of the area next to the tracks is a yellow stop sign with "pain train" on it. Slam it with a melee attack to summon the pain train. This electrifies the rails, stunning any OD on them and then spatters them over the nearby walls.
Bounce kills (5): Bounce on an object and shoot enemies or perform a ground slam after bouncing on an object
Grind kills (5): While grinding, shoot enemies or melee them if they are on the wire
As long as you didn't completely mess up the job, you should get at least a bronze medal here. Gold is far easier to attempt later when you have some endgame weaponry, so leave that for now.
Collect the processor from Buck National
Cross the skyline again to reach Buck's tower and obtain the processor.
Give Sam the computer processor
Fast travel back to the Oxford's Base and hand Sam the processor to end the mission.
