Lockdown Protocol is a game where you and your friends are stranded on a ship with dissident(s) whose only goal is to kill everyone on board. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew must complete a series of complex tasks while unknowingly walking among their possible murderers. Many of these tasks can be daunting and have many steps.

In Lockdown Protocol, each player has a tablet that they should open at the beginning of the game to see what their tasks are. Each task has a different set of to-dos that must be completed. In order to know where to go and what to do, you'll need to open your tablet, hover over the list of tasks, travel to the glowing spots, and roam the ship to find your tools.

Where To Find The Vents

When you open your tablet and look on the left under task manager, you may see a task titled "vents". When hovering over the tasks, you will see white blinking dots in each room. The first step is to travel to each and every dot on the map to find which vents are disabled. The vents that need fixing are located on the wall and will be glowing red; the ones that are functional will be glowing blue.

You will know how many vents need to be fixed by the number indicated next to the vents title under the task manager. To fix the vents you will need a screwdriver. Usually, most tools will be found in the storage room marked by the orange box on the map. Pick up a screwdriver and head over to the vents.

Finding the broken vents before attempting to fix them can save lots of confusion about where you're supposed to go. Taking a mental note of which rooms have broken vents is also very efficient if you need help.

How To Fix The Vents

Once you find a vent with a red light, make sure to unscrew both screws. The screws look like silver circles. Once unscrewed, you can put the screwdriver in your backpack or drop it on the ground to grab the dirty vent filter in between the screws.

Make sure that you hide your screwdriver somewhere that only you're aware of if you need to drop it. Otherwise, other players might try to take it or dissidents may try to use it against your fellow crewmates.

Now take the dirty filter to the machine room, indicated by a blue wrench. Here you will see words on the wall that say "filter washing station" with what looks like three washing machines and a computer underneath them. Place your filter into the top of the washing machine and click on the blue button on the front of the machine. Once the bar next to the blue button is fully white, the filter is clean.

Take the filter back to the vent you left open, place it back into the slot, and screw both screws back into the wall to lock in the filter. The vent will now be glowing blue, and you're done with that one. Don't forget your screwdriver and move onto the next one.

After the vents task has reached zero on the task manager, you can rest assured that all vents are fixed and find a new task to complete. Just make sure that you don't run into a dissident where there could be no witnesses. Try to stick with one person you can trust to complete all your tasks.
