In brief

In Directive 8020, you need to restore power to the drawbridge to progress after being separated from your teammate. This guide walks you through it step by step to find the fuel cell, install it in the control room, and reactivate the bridge while avoiding enemies.

At one point in your progress through Directive 8020, you will need to restore power to the drawbridge in order to continue your adventure. In this article, you'll find a step-by-step guide to help you through this quest.

Restoring Power to the Drawbridge

After an unfortunate encounter with enemies, the main characters, Young and Cooper, find themselves separated. The bridge is visible in the distance, but it's out of order and needs a quick repair.

Enemies, notably Simms, are patrolling the site, making every movement tricky. To progress safely, use your scan ability whenever it's available. This will help you identify enemy silhouettes and move forward discreetly.

Instead of heading straight for the bridge, turn left and head to the control room. Upon entering the room, you'll notice an empty slot where you need to insert a fuel cell.

Finding the Fuel Cell

Not far from the control room, there's a locked bypass door. To open it, you'll need to complete the corresponding mini-game: once open, follow the path and you'll find the fuel cell.

Note

Be careful, enemies can appear at any moment.

Pick up the fuel cell, take cover behind a piece of scenery, and wait for the enemy to leave before heading back to the control room.

Restoring the Power

In the control room, at the designated slot, insert the fuel cell: this will restore power to the drawbridge. Be careful, an enemy will try to come through the door you're going to use to exit, so go through the bypass door instead to avoid it.

Once outside, interact with the bridge to lower it, cross over, and continue your adventure.
