Dead Before Dawn: Helpful Strategies
Where is that DANG FOURTH WHEEL??
This is referring specifically to that mission where Hank asks you to find all 4 wheels to bring the A/C to his room.

One Wheel to Completion
- No, you do not need to find all four wheels to bring the A/C to Hank's room. You just need ONE.

One Wheel Strategy: Single and Co-op
- All players should scavenge the rooms until they find only ONE wheel. Whoever finds the wheel first must bring it back to the crank machine. Everyone else should head back to the machine as well.

- The player who found the wheel must attach it to the machine. I haven't tried this yet, but others who don't have the wheel might be able to attach it to the machine. If that doesn't work, that one player holding the wheel has to attach it.

- The player cranking the machine must stay to bring the machine into Hank's room. Everyone else must defend the player as using one wheel will make the machine go a bit slower compared to having 4 people crank the machine at the same time. All team members must stay until Hank confirms the A/C is in his room. Hank will open the door for you once the mission is completed.

Special Event - Hank Opened the Door Already:
- Always check the door that has an alarm light and cables attached to it.

- This is the door that you'll need to go through to finish the rest of the campaign. Hank may or may not open it prematurely. If he prematurely opens the door, you'll see the alarm lights go off.

- Proceed as usual as you won't need to find all 4 wheels. If that door is not open, and he mentions that the wheels are missing (and if there's no alternative option) - proceed to complete the mission.

But I want to find all 4 wheels!
- Proceed with the mission as normal, and at least have 2-3 players cranking the wheel while the other 2-3 players are defending them. More than one person at the machine will hoist the A/C faster.
