Dumpster Gang missions and To Do List

Updated · Demo

Quick answer

The demo's missions are handed out as a To Do List at the start of each area. Confirmed objectives include stealing garden gnomes, a trumpet, airhorns, TVs, a gamer computer and gold bars from a safe in the suburban home; stealing musical instruments, spray-painting the principal's office, stealing the lab skeleton, setting off the fire sprinklers and using the intercom at the school. Each run also has three challenges: beat it within 15 minutes, extract five gnomes, and make and drink coffee.

How missions work

Every area starts with a To Do List in the top-left corner. The list is a set of chaotic objectives — steal this, break that, drink coffee — and you can complete them in any order. A separate Challenges panel tracks optional speed and collection goals. The mission ends when you extract with your loot.

The lists below come from official store screenshots. The developers have not published a full mission list, and the full game adds more maps.

Suburban home

Objective What to do
Seek and destroy garden gnomes Find the gnomes in the garden and smash them.
Extract 5 gnomes from the area Pick up five gnomes and carry them to extraction — this is a challenge, not just smashing.
Steal a trumpet Find the trumpet (one screenshot shows a raccoon playing it on the roof).
Steal an airhorn / airhorns Grab the airhorn(s) around the house.
Steal a gold bar from a safe Find the safe in the house and take the gold bar.
Steal TVs Carry the TVs out.
Steal a gamer computer The gaming PC is a separate objective from the TVs.
Knock over trash cans Outside, knock the bins over.
Play some basketball Use the basketball hoop in the yard.
Wreck the outdoor garden Tear up the garden — separate from the gnomes.
Clog a toilet Block the toilet in the bathroom.
Brew and drink a pot of coffee Use the coffee machine in the kitchen, then drink.

School

Objective What to do
Steal musical instruments Grab the instruments around the school.
Spray paint the principal’s office Find the principal’s office and spray it.
Steal the lab skeleton Take the skeleton from the science lab.
Set off the fire sprinklers Trigger the sprinklers.
Make an announcement over the intercom Use the intercom.

The school appears in official screenshots. It is not confirmed whether the school is in the demo build or only the full game.

Farm and forest

Challenges

Challenge How to complete
Beat within 15 minutes Finish the mission and extract before the timer hits 15:00.
Extract 5 gnomes from the area Carry five gnomes to the extraction point.
Make and drink coffee (again) Brew a pot and drink it — the “(again)” suggests it can be repeated.

Mission tips

  1. Scout first, then speedrun. The 15-minute challenge is much easier after one slow run where you learn where the safe, coffee machine and extraction point are.
  2. Carry gnomes, don’t smash them. The destruction objective and the extraction challenge are separate; you need five gnomes intact and delivered.
  3. Split the list in co-op. One raccoon can brew coffee while another opens the safe; the list is shared, so divide and finish faster.
  4. Chaos brings John. Knocking over bins and smashing gnomes raises attention. If the Exterminator shows up, break line of sight and use vents or rooftops.

FAQ

How many missions are in the Dumpster Gang demo?

The demo has three confirmed areas (suburban home, rural farm, forest training ground), each with its own To Do List. Official screenshots also show a school area with five objectives.

What are the Dumpster Gang challenges?

The three challenges seen in the demo are: beat the mission within 15 minutes, extract five garden gnomes from the area, and make and drink coffee (again).

Do I have to complete every To Do List item?

The To Do List tracks optional chaos objectives. The mission still ends when you extract; completing the list is for rewards and challenges, not a hard gate.

Where is the gold bar in Dumpster Gang?

In the suburban home, inside a safe. The objective says 'Steal a gold bar from a safe' (and a later variant says 'gold bars'). You need to find the safe and open it.
