Lockdown Protocolis a game where you and your friends are stranded on a ship with dissident(s) whose only goal is to kill everyone on board. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew must complete a series of complex tasks while unknowingly walking among their possible murderers. Many of these tasks can be daunting and have many steps.

In Lockdown Protocol, each player has a tablet that they should open at the beginning of the game to see what their tasks are. Each task has a different set of to-dos that must be completed. In order to know where to go and what to do, you’ll need to open your tablet, hover over the list of tasks, travel to the glowing spots, and roam the ship to find your tools.

Where To Find The Vents

When youopen your tablet and look on the leftunder task manager, you may see atask titled “vents”. When hovering over the tasks, you will seewhite blinking dotsin each room. The first step is to travel to each and every dot on the map tofind which vents are disabled. The vents that need fixing are locatedon the wall and will be glowing red; the ones that arefunctional will be glowing blue.

You will know how many vents need to be fixed by thenumber indicated next to the vents titleunder the task manager. To fix the ventsyou will need a screwdriver. Usually, most tools will be found in thestorage room marked by the orange boxon the map. Pick up a screwdriver and head over to the vents.

Finding the broken vents before attempting to fix them can save lots of confusion about where you’re supposed to go. Taking a mental note of which rooms have broken vents is also very efficient if you need help.

How To Fix The Vents

Once you find a vent with a red light, make sure tounscrew both screws. The screws look like silver circles. Once unscrewed, you may put the screwdriver in your backpack or drop it on the ground tograb the dirty vent filter in between the screws.

ensure that you hide your screwdriver somewhere that only you’re aware of if you need to drop it. Otherwise, other players might try to take it or dissidents may try to use it against your fellow crewmates.

Now take the dirty filter to themachine room, indicated by a blue wrench. Here you will see words on the wall that say"filter washing station"with what looks like three washing machines and a computer underneath them. Place yourfilter into the topof the washing machine and click on theblue buttonon the front of the machine. Once the bar next to the blue button isfully white, the filter is clean.

Take thefilter back to the ventyou left open, place it back into the slot, andscrew both screws backinto the wall to lock in the filter. The vent will now be glowing blue, and you’re done with that one.Don’t forget your screwdriverand move onto the next one.

After the vents task has reached zero on the task manager, you can rest assured that all vents are fixed and find a new task to complete. Just make sure that you don’t run into a dissident where there could be no witnesses. Try to stick with one person you can trust to complete all your tasks.
