Here’s a straightforward Murky Divers guide that will help you understand the basics, navigate your submarine, and complete your missions. You can also find more specific guides towards the bottom of this page.

The Mission

In Murky Divers, your goal is to eliminate all evidence of Big Pharma’s misconduct before time runs out. This involves:

  • Shredding evidence: Destroy bodies, plants, and items using your submarine’s shredder.

  • Breaking equipment: Punch lab computers and electrical devices to destroy key evidence.

  • Surviving threats: Avoid or fight off monsters and police patrols.

  • Meeting standards: Complete enough tasks to fill your compliance bar before the timer ends. If you fail, your team will be arrested.

Navigating the Submarine

Your submarine has four main stations:

1. Steering Station

  • Controls the direction of the submarine.

  • Follow the compass to navigate.

2. Speed Control Station

  • Adjusts how fast the submarine moves.

  • Going full speed can help you escape enemies but creates noise that alerts the police. Keep your speed under the noise threshold when stealth is important.

3. Sonar Scanner

  • Locates labs (marked by yellow dotted circles) and shows nearby entities (orange dots).

  • Communicate what you see with the next station for accurate identification.

4. Entity Identifier

  • Identifies orange dots using letter and number combinations. Match the scanner’s data with the reference lines to determine what’s nearby.

    • Money dots: Provide cash rewards.

    • Danger dots: Increase police notoriety or cause harm.

Starting a Mission

  1. go to a lab, marked by a yellow dotted circle on the scanner.

  2. Pull the lever near the hatch to start the mission. You have 8 minutes to eliminate evidence and avoid detection.

Inside the Lab

Once inside the lab, here’s what you need to do:

1. Eliminate Evidence

  • Punch computers and equipment to destroy them.

  • Pick up evidence items (right-click for one-handed items; both mouse buttons for two-handed items) and bring them to the submarine shredder.

  • Track your progress using the bar next to the shredder. Reach the red marker to succeed.

2. Manage Resources

  • Oxygen: Refill by returning to the submarine.

  • Health: Heal by punching the health station inside the submarine.

  • Beware of monsters that may attack you inside the lab.

3. Recover Fallen Teammates

  • If someone dies, retrieve their body and shred it. Leaving bodies behind increases police notoriety.

4. Leave Before Time Runs Out

  • Return to the submarine before the timer ends to avoid police arrest.

Collect Rewards

  • After the mission, retrieve cash rewards from the net below the submarine if you picked up money dots on the scanner.

Upgrades and Supplies

  • Use the submarine’s vending machine to buy upgrades and tools with the money you earn.

    • Equipment upgrades: Increase carrying capacity or other capabilities.

    • Suit upgrades: Equip them in the submarine’s shower. You can activate these with Q and E during missions.

    • Station upgrades: Install CDs at the corresponding stations for potential bonuses.

    • Bribes: Reduce your police notoriety by one star if it gets too high.

Final Tips

  1. Communicate: Work closely with your team to handle the scanner and identify threats.

  2. Balance Speed: Go full speed only when necessary to avoid drawing police attention.

  3. Be Efficient: Focus on eliminating evidence quickly and returning to the submarine before time runs out.

  4. Stay Alive: Manage oxygen and health carefully. Always be prepared to fight off monsters.

  5. Plan Ahead: Use the vending machine to stock up on helpful items before starting missions.

Murky Divers is challenging but rewarding once you master the basics. With this guide, you’re ready to dive in and clean up Big Pharma’s mess. Good luck, diver!
