Chapter 6 of Lego City Undercover marks a sharp shift in pacing. If you're stuck trying to crack the security systems, find every hidden super build, or figure out how to navigate the mission objectives without wasting time, you're in the right place. Let's break down everything you need to clear this chapter efficiently and grab 100% of the collectibles.
Chapter 6 Mission Breakdown
The chapter starts immediately after the events of Chapter 5, throwing Chase McCain into deeper investigative work. You'll need to swap disguises frequently to handle distinct environment puzzles.
- Arriving at the Destination: Head to the waypoint marker on your minimap. Switch to your Miner disguise early to handle any boulder debris blocking side alleys or bonus stud caches.
- Infiltrating the Area: You'll face a series of security gates. Don't waste time punching guards. Use the Robber disguise to crack the terminal panels immediately.
- The Roof Ascent: Grapple points are scattered across the exterior walls. Equip the Undercover Cop disguise to use your audio scanner and reveal hidden tracks leading upward.
Solving the Security Terminal Puzzles
The main hurdle most players face in Chapter 6 is the multi-step terminal hack. The game doesn't explicitly tell you that color-matching nodes require a specific circuit sequence.
- Connect the outer blue nodes first to stabilize the grid.
- Route the central red pulse through the rotating gate on the right side.
- If you fail the puzzle, you'll trigger a minor wave of standard henchmen. Clear them out quickly with standard melee combos to reset the terminal without losing progress.
Finding Every Hidden Collectible in Chapter 6
Missing a red brick or a hidden token in this level is frustrating because some areas become locked off once you complete the main objective. Keep track of these items as you move through:
- Super Build Fragment: Located behind the second courtyard gate. You'll need the Farmer disguise to plant a seed, grow a beanstalk, and bounce up to the upper ledge where the fragment sits.
- Red Brick: Hidden inside the small security booth near the loading dock. Smash the vending machine using the Miner's dynamite to reveal the access hatch.
- Character Token: Found by spraying graffiti off the back wall using the Fireman disguise hose attachment.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Players often lose unnecessary hearts or get turned around during the rooftop chase sequence. Keep these quick fixes in mind:
- Don't rely on vehicles inside restricted zones; tight alleyways make steering clumsy, and foot travel with parkour is faster.
- Watch your stud multiplier. Smashing every single box and barrier on your first run ensures you hit True Tourist status before reaching the final cutscene.
- Remember that you can replay this chapter in Free Play mode later, so don't stress if you miss a disguise-locked door on your initial story run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I collect Red Bricks during my first playthrough of Chapter 6?
Yes, but only if you've already unlocked the required disguises and tools from later chapters or side missions. If you don't have the right tool, it's smarter to return in Free Play mode.
How do I restart the security terminal puzzle if I get locked out?
Simply step away from the console for three seconds to reset the circuit board. The puzzle randomizes its node positions each time you retry.
Do I need to defeat every enemy henchman to progress?
No. Most combat encounters are optional unless the game locks the doors behind you. You can dodge past standard grunts to save time on speedruns.
