The Engine Bangers are an enclave that need your help -- and you should definitely give them a hand. This enclave present a multi-part mission that will take time to completely finish, but once it’s finished you’ll have great allies that’ll provide a neat reward, which you can see below if you’d like to spoil it for yourself:

Jump to a specific mission for the Engine Bangers:

Engine Bangers: Rookie Mistake

This first mission, Engine Bangers: Rookie Mistake, is a simple one. An apprentice left materials in a vehicle that you need to retrieve. Find the vehicle on your map and head that way. A member of the enclave will join your party to provide assistance as you slay zombies.

Approach the vehicle and open its trunk to get the rucksack of Auto Parts. All that's left is to do is return to the enclave's base and deliver the auto parts.

Excitingly, they want to set up an auto shop. Choose your response to end the mission. These are good friends to have.

Engine Bangers: Claiming the Shop

Get yourself and your partner ready for a little trip. You'll want a four-person car with a good amount of gas for this trip. Once you're ready to head out, make your way to the Engine Bangers' base to hear out the leader's plans for an auto shop.

The Engine Bangers found a good place to set up shop, but it's infested with zombies. Of course. It's also rather far. Back out of the conversation if you're not ready to take this on, but if you are (which you should) go ahead and accept the mission. Chat with the rookie to add them to your team and really get started.

If you still need supplies go ahead an pick them up on your way. The auto shop is essentially a big box filled with zombies, and the best way to let them out is to coax them out. If you have a car in good condition, go ahead and honk that horn to draw out the zombies and flatten as many as you can. There will be a screamer in this location, so you'll want to deal with it appropriately.

Alternatively, you can drive up, climb the ladder on the back of the building, and wait for the zombies to come out if you know they heard your approach. They'll bang on the back door and slowly bleed out of the building. At this point you can jump onto the awning over the back door, which will cause your fellow survivors to try and follow. They will likely jump down and start fighting zombies. Pick the zombies off with your gun or chuck down a molotov cocktail (or another explosive) to get rid of a bunch of them at once. Then take care of any remaining zombies in the repair shop.

The Engine Bangers leader conveniently appears after the fight is over. Chat with him to end the mission.

Engine Bangers: Gone Missing

The Engine Bangers (or engineer enclave) has made it to their new home, but now there’s a missing person. This is done easier if you have a vehicle. Drive to the designated neighborhood and check each of the four locations marked on your map. We found the missing person in, of course, the last place we checked. It happened to be the most isolated location -- a house at the top of a small hill.

Once you reach the missing person, they’ll reveal they are on the run from their group. At this point you can recruit the person for your community, ask them to go back to the Engine Bangers, or help that person get out of town.

In our run we tried to convince the person to go back to their enclave, but the person refused and chose to stay at the house.

Finish out your option and return to the Engine Bangers to report the outcome.

Engine Bangers: Power On

The Engine bangers need to start up their generator, but the sound will draw in a bunch of zombies, including a number of screamers. Only accept the siege once you’re ready to take on a large number of zombies in two different waves, with the second being even more difficult and potentially includes two juggernauts.

After clearing the first wave, you’ll have a chance to talk to the apprentice that went missing. Talking to them activates the next wave, so make sure your health is good to go and weapon reloaded.

Use the parking lot to your advantage during the next fight. Kite bigger zombies by running around broken vehicles. If you're facing off against juggernauts try to weaken them with well-timed explosives and quick attacks. Watch out for your allied fighters too. Members of the Engine Bangers can die in this fight, and just like your community members, they won’t come back.

Once you’ve finished the fight, the leader will reward you with a new Radio Command: Deliver Salvaged Vehicle. Now, the Engine Bangers will deliver a vehicle to a nearby location for 250 Influence. This can be used every 120 minutes. You’ll also get 150 Influence for completing the goal.

Engine Bangers: Fill 'Er Up

The Engine Bangers need fuel. Bring them a rucksack of fuel (find one at a gas station or pack one up from your own supplies) to get an easy reward.
