Dusty 8 Sponsorship/ Mutant Bash TV | Main missions Rage Guide
Last update: 21 June 2019
On this page of the Rage guide you will find a detailed description of the "Dusty 8 Sponsorship" and "Mutant Bash TV" missions. The second quest concerns mainly a series of increasingly demanding fights in the arena.
Before you leave Wellspring go to the trader and buy much ammo for the Combat Shotgun (more than 100 rounds) and Wingsticks. Once you ready drive to the point marked on the map. You'll find there the Mutant Bash TV arena.
You'll meet JK Stiles, who agrees to be your sponsor if you participate in Mutant Bash TV. Once you agree you'll be moved to the arena.
Go straight ahead through gates. You'll get to the first room named Chamber of Laughs. A few waves of opponents await you here.
At the beginning they will be running from the opposite gate. Kill them as fast as possible using your shotgun or wingsticks.
When the last mutant is dead, pipes will appear around the room and enemies will appear from inside of them. In order to defeat them try to run around the arena and shoot behind your back from time to time.
In the last phase four towers will rise from the ground. There are enemies at top of each who throws at you fire grenades. I suggest killing one of the mutants as fast as possible and then covering behind that tower. Once you're safe lean out from time to time and kill other monsters one after another. After the death of the last mutant, other enemies will come out from under the towers. Eliminate all opponents by running around arena and shooting them. This way you'll finish the first round.
Another challenge awaits you behind the gate on the left. Before you enter a red circle, collect ammo and Bandages lying on cabinets on the left and on the right.
This time there are less enemies than before, but in addition there is an artificial monkey moving around the arena, which kills anyone close to him. So try to run behind him all the time or stand in the middle of the arena, away from his blades.
In the third room you'll encounter a machine looking like a slot machine. Your task is to shoot targets under reels in order to create a line with three dollar symbols (you'll get extra money then). There is a time limit for each column and if you shoot a skull, mutants will appear that you have to kill.
When you finish with play go back a little and follow the arrow signs. There is ammo and bandages on the right side of the corridor.
In the next room stand on the red circle in the middle and then start running around the arena. There will be spotlights from the ceiling which "summon" deadly spikes from the floor. You can avoid them by moving constantly. In addition mutants will jump out from the corners of the room from time to time. Shoot them with your Shotgun, not forgetting about moving.
Once the last mutant is dead, prepare for the final battle with the Kraken. This mighty mutant has two types of attacks. When you're away from him he will charge at you. It is enough to run to the other side to avoid his charges. Second attack is used on the short distance. It is a deafly hit with the tentacle, which inflicts huge damage, so try to keep away from him. I suggest using an Assault Rifle during this fight.
After killing the Kraken move forward and you'll finish your show and gather the reward. You can always reenter the arena but remember about replenishing ammo before you do so.
For now I suggest returning to Wellspring and talking to Jack Weeks and Slim. You'll be able then to participate in the Sponsorship Race event. Thanks to the Mutant Bash TV special powerup (Q) you should win with no problems.
You'll get a Cuprino car as a reward. It is less maneuverable than a buggy but has much better armor. With it you can also take another job from Sheriff.
