Open Containers In The Traffic Tunnels Weekly Trials Guide
This guide gives a complete, repeatable plan to farm containers inside the Traffic Tunnels on Blue Gate so you can reliably earn three stars on the weekly trial. It covers the exact prep, the best loadouts, a detailed route you can memorize, scoring targets, team and solo tactics, and advanced tricks that squeeze extra points from contested runs. Read this once, run it a few times, and you’ll have a dependable method to hit the 3,000–4,000 point range that community runs report as the sweet spot for three stars.
Why this weekly trial matters
Weekly trials are compact, high‑value objectives that reward focused play. The Open Containers In The Traffic Tunnels trial is deceptively simple: only containers inside the tunnels count. That constraint makes the trial perfect for optimization. Instead of fighting every enemy, you concentrate on movement, container density, and unlocking gated rooms. When you treat the map like a timed scavenger hunt rather than a firefight, your score climbs quickly. The payoff is consistent rewards and a fast, repeatable loop for weekly progression.
How the trial works at a glance
The trial only counts containers located inside the Traffic Tunnels area of Blue Gate. The tunnels are accessible after the gate puzzle is solved or when the map condition (such as Locked Gate) makes them available. Containers include lockers, car bonnets, grenade cases, small crates, and certain robot caches. Keys and batteries open high‑value rooms and gated caches; they are optional but multiply your score if you can secure them without losing time.
Preparation and loadout that wins
Your goal is speed and container throughput, not extended firefights. Choose gear that keeps you moving and lets you open containers quickly.
Essential loadout elements
Primary weapon: a light, accurate weapon with fast handling. Prioritize mobility over raw DPS.
Shield: a light shield with fast recharge or a shield recharger consumable.
Consumables: bandages, shield rechargers, and at least one battery for opening locked rooms.
Keys: carry any map keys you find; the Confiscation Room and Patrol Car keys are high‑value.
Perks and mods: movement speed, container interaction speed, and extra inventory space are the most valuable.
A short list of recommended choices: a fast Anvil or similar SMG for quick clears, a light shield, and consumables focused on staying alive long enough to clear dense locker rooms. If you prefer ranged safety, a mid‑range rifle with quick ADS is acceptable, but don’t sacrifice mobility.
Mental model and run philosophy
Think of the run as a timed route with checkpoints. Each checkpoint is a cluster of containers. Your score per minute matters more than kills per minute. Avoid long fights that pull you away from container clusters. If a fight will cost you more than two dense locker rooms’ worth of time, disengage and move on. Prioritize rooms that spawn multiple containers and blueprints.
Entry and early game: opening the tunnels
To access the tunnels you must either solve the gate puzzle or run the map during a condition that opens them automatically. The typical flow is:
Secure the four security codes or trigger the map condition that opens the tunnel.
Insert codes at the Gate Control Room to unlock the zipline entrance.
Use the zipline to drop into the tunnels and immediately begin the northwest sweep.
The first minute is critical. Your initial path should hit the densest locker clusters and any nearby patrol cars. If you find a key early, adjust to include the Confiscation Room; the extra value is usually worth the detour.
Detailed route walkthrough (memorable, repeatable)
This walkthrough is written as a continuous narrative so you can visualize the path and internalize it. Run it a few times in practice and you’ll be able to execute it without looking.
Start at the Gate Control Room. After inserting the codes, take the zipline down and land near the tunnel entrance. Immediately move left and hug the wall to avoid open sightlines. Your first objective is the top‑floor locker cluster that sits above the main tunnel corridor. These lockers are dense and quick to clear; they give a strong early score spike and set the pace.
After clearing the top‑floor lockers, drop down to the central corridor and sweep the patrol cars and bonnets. These are quick grabs—open the bonnet, take the container, move on. From there, follow the blue floor lines that lead to the side rooms. If you picked up a battery, use it to open the nearest gated side room; these rooms often contain two to three high‑value containers and sometimes a blueprint.
Next, push toward the Confiscation Room. If you have the key, this is the single most valuable stop on the route. The Confiscation Room contains keyed lockers and sometimes MK2 or MK3 blueprints. If you don’t have the key, sweep the adjacent locker rooms and grenade case nook. These areas still yield solid points and are faster to clear.
After the Confiscation Room sweep, loop back along the main corridor and clear the lower‑value but numerous crates and robot caches. Finish by sweeping any remaining patrol cars and the grenade case nook. If you’re on pace and the lobby is calm, do a second pass through the top‑floor lockers to pick up any respawned or missed containers before extraction.
Container types and expected value
Understanding container types helps you prioritize. The table below summarizes common container types inside the tunnels and why they matter.
| Container type | Typical value | Access notes | Why prioritize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keyed lockers (Confiscation) | High | Requires key | Highest points per container; may contain blueprints |
| Top‑floor lockers | Medium‑High | Easy access | Dense clusters; best score per time |
| Patrol car bonnets | Medium | No key | Fast to open; steady points |
| Grenade cases | Medium | No key | Utility plus decent points |
| Small crates / robot caches | Low‑Medium | No key | Numerous; good for mop‑up |
Memorize which rooms contain keyed lockers and which are dense locker clusters. Your route should always prioritize keyed lockers if you can reach them without losing time.
Scoring targets and pacing to 3 stars
Community runs and trial feedback place the reliable three‑star threshold between 3,000 and 4,000 points depending on event multipliers and lobby conditions. Use these pacing markers during your run:
Early game (first 3 minutes): hit the top‑floor lockers and patrol cars for a 30–40% chunk of your target.
Mid game (minutes 3–6): secure keyed rooms and gated side rooms; this is where most high‑value points come from.
Late game (final 2–3 minutes): mop up remaining containers and do a second pass on dense clusters if time allows.
If you’re under pace by the mid game, skip contested keys and focus on quick containers to salvage points. If you’re ahead, take the extra time to open a keyed room or two for a buffer.
Teamplay dynamics and role assignments
When running with a team, assign roles to avoid overlap and wasted time. A simple role set works well:
Runner: focuses on dense locker clusters and patrol cars; highest container throughput.
Keyholder: secures keys and opens keyed rooms; must be ready to disengage if contested.
Cover: handles enemies and keeps the Runner safe; should avoid looting unless safe.
Communication is the multiplier. Call out keys, batteries, and contested rooms. If you’re in a pickup group with no voice chat, use short, decisive movements: the Runner should mark the next cluster by moving there first.
Solo tactics and stealth routes
Solo runs require a slightly different mindset. You can’t contest keys against a full team, so prioritize speed and low‑risk containers. Use stealth corridors and avoid open areas where multiple enemies or players can converge. If you find a key solo, decide quickly whether to open the keyed room or to keep moving—opening a keyed room solo is high reward but high risk.
When solo, use consumables conservatively. A single shield recharger and bandages are often enough if you avoid prolonged fights. If you’re being hunted by other players, disengage and focus on quick patrol car bonnets to secure a safe extraction.
Advanced tricks that add points
There are several high‑impact techniques that separate good runs from great runs.
Double‑pass timing: clear the densest locker cluster early, then loop back for a second pass near the end of the run. This often catches respawned or missed containers and can add a crucial few hundred points.
Battery economy: batteries open gated rooms that often contain multiple high‑value containers. Use batteries only on rooms with at least two containers to maximize return.
Blueprint prioritization: blueprints often spawn in keyed rooms. If you see a blueprint, prioritize that room because blueprints tend to award higher point values.
Distraction baiting: if you’re in a team, send one player to bait enemies into a fight while the rest clear containers in a nearby room. This converts enemy attention into a window for looting.
Extraction timing: extract when you’ve hit your target threshold rather than chasing marginal gains. Leaving with a guaranteed three stars is better than risking a contested fight that costs you points and time.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Many players lose runs to predictable errors. Avoid these pitfalls.
Chasing kills instead of containers. Time lost in fights is time not spent opening containers.
Wasting batteries on single‑container rooms. Use batteries where they unlock multiple containers.
Overcommitting to contested keys. If a key fight drags on, disengage and return later or skip it.
Poor role distribution in teams. Overlap causes missed containers and wasted time.
Quick troubleshooting for contested lobbies
If other players contest the tunnels, adapt quickly. Switch to a hit‑and‑run style: grab the nearest patrol cars and bonnets, then extract. If keys are being contested, let them fight and clear the quieter rooms. In high‑conflict lobbies, aim for the lower end of the three‑star threshold and extract early.
Comparison of run styles
| Run style | Best for | Risk | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aggressive keyed run | Teams with coordination | High | Very high points |
| Speedrun sweep | Solo or small teams | Medium | Consistent mid‑high points |
| Stealth mop‑up | Solo in hostile lobbies | Low | Reliable low‑mid points |
| Hybrid bait and loot | Teams with bait player | Medium | High if executed |
Choose the style that fits your lobby and team composition. The hybrid approach is the most flexible but requires coordination.
Practice routine to master the route
Mastery comes from repetition. Run the route in non‑trial matches to learn spawn locations and container clusters. Time your runs and track points per minute. After a few practice runs you’ll internalize the path and be able to adapt on the fly.
A simple practice loop: run the route three times focusing only on movement and container interaction speed, then run it three more times focusing on key and battery usage. Compare your points and adjust.
Psychological tips for consistent runs
Stay calm and methodical. Trials reward steady execution more than flashy plays. If you get contested early, reset mentally and focus on the next cluster. Keep your objectives simple: open containers, avoid long fights, extract when you hit your target.
Small checklist before you drop in
Confirm map condition (Locked Gate or equivalent).
Equip mobility and container speed perks.
Bring at least one battery and shield recharger.
Agree on roles if in a team.
FAQ
What exactly counts as a container for the weekly trial Lockers, car bonnets, grenade cases, small crates, and certain robot caches inside the Traffic Tunnels count. Items outside the tunnel do not contribute.
Do I need to solve the gate puzzle to open the tunnels You either need to insert the four security codes at the Gate Control Room or run the map during a condition that opens the tunnels automatically. If the map condition opens them, you can skip the code hunt.
Which keys are most valuable The Confiscation Room key is the most valuable because it unlocks multiple high‑value lockers and often blueprints. Patrol Car keys are useful for quick points.
How many points do I need for three stars Aim for 3,000–4,000 points. The exact threshold can vary with event multipliers and lobby conditions, so treat 4,000 as a safe target.
Is it better to run solo or with a team Both work. Teams can secure keys and bait enemies, which increases potential points. Solo runs are simpler and more predictable. Choose based on your comfort and the lobby.
What’s the fastest way to improve my runs Practice the route, focus on container interaction speed, and learn where keyed rooms spawn. Track your points per minute and adjust.
Closing and next steps
This guide gives you a full, repeatable plan to farm containers in the Traffic Tunnels and reliably earn three stars.
