How do I turn on the map’s power?

Locate the severed zombie hand on the beach; it holds the missing power‑switch handle. Reuniting the hand with the switch at the Power Station restores electricity to the entire town, lighting areas such as the diner and the drive‑in.

What is the Pack‑a‑Punch process and its limits?

Elvira controls the upgrade system. Break open her spell book in the ice‑cream parlour safe, then fill a vial with kills using the cleaver. Afterward she departs her studio and creates a Projection Room portal that you can enter for thirty seconds per visit.

What is the Modular Atomic Disintegrator and how can I improve it?

The M.A.D. is a Magic‑Wheel‑only ray gun that can be upgraded by scavenging three parts: a Crank adds a charged shot that can erase hordes, a Grip enables full‑auto fire, and a Plunger refills its tank from radioactive Crog eggs.

The map’s chemistry set, which uses vodka and pennies to create acetaldehyde, is tied to the quest line and does not affect the weapon’s arsenal.

Who are the Crogs and what threats do they pose?

Crogs are mutated frog‑like enemies that appear on set rounds, sometimes accompanied by a Brute variant. Offshore, Crog‑Zilla – the Radioactive Thing – roams as a kaiju that wrecks a cargo ship during normal play.

What are the exact steps of the “Soul‑Less” main quest?

The quest requires you to build a 1950s‑style nuke: first reanimate a stitched‑together corpse to obtain a key, then brew the correct explosive compound using household items, crack the safe for launch codes, and finally escort the bomb‑cart along the beach until Crog‑Zilla swallows it.

After surviving death‑ray cannons, a laser maze, and a brief trip inside the monster, you retrieve the fourth Soul Key piece from the wreckage. The quest can be completed solo, and finishing it unlocks Elvira as a playable character.

What do I gain after completing the main quest?

The post‑quest cutscene places the cast on a spaceship, setting up the anthology’s next installment involving cryptids and a demon tied to Wyler’s contract.

Additionally, completing the quest unlocks Elvira as a selectable playable character for future rounds.
