After following our How to Enter the Network Center in Grounded 2 guide, you’ll arrive at the ladder that leads inside. The building is a bit of a maze, and reaching Level 3 requires knowing the most efficient route. Once there, you’ll be tasked with restoring full network integrity to unlock the next quest. Here’s exactly how to get it done quickly and with minimal hassle.
How to Restore Full Network Integrity to Proceed in Grounded 2
Step 1 – Reach Level 2
Start by climbing the ladder and using the Pneumatic Transit System to go to Level 1. Go through the glass doors, then take the black door on your left. Turn left again and go through the next set of black doors. Follow the path through the room and exit through the doors ahead. Continue straight into the next room, then turn left to find another set of glass doors leading to a Pneumatic Transit System. Use it to travel to Level 2.
Step 2 – Reach Level 3
From Level 2, head through the double glass doors on your right. Go straight, ignoring the doors on your left, and proceed through the doors at the end of the room. Turn left and follow the path to its exit. Take another left in the next room and exit again. Run straight through the middle of the desks, then take a left when the path splits. Go through two sets of doors in the small room to reach another Pneumatic Transit System — this one will take you to Level 3.
Step 3 – Defeat General Berserker
Once on Level 3, turn left to find General Berserker, a giant cockroach. Defeat him to proceed. (Tip: if he gets stuck in the wall like in my playthrough, you can still hit him.) After the fight, approach the central control console — you’ll see it’s offline and that you must restore full network integrity first.
Step 4 – Find the Keycard
While facing the console, turn right and go up the ramp. Turn left and follow the path until you find a dead soldier. Loot the body to get a keycard. Continue until you reach a locked door, then use the keycard to open it.
Step 5 – Repair the Broken Wires
Inside, turn right and head to the end of the room. Look for a broken glass floor and drop down. Crouch to proceed. You’ll need to repair three broken wires:
- After dropping down, go straight, then left to find the first sparking cable.
- Turn around, retrace your steps, then take the first right to find Raw Science and the second cable.
- Continue straight to find the third sparking section.
Once all three are fixed, jump back into the room through the broken glass. On the wall to the right of the hole is a console — interact with it.
Step 6 – Activate the Remaining Consoles
Return to the offline network console room. This time, head down the ramp, cross the room, and go up the opposite ramp. Unlock the door in front of you. Inside is a large cockroach you can skip fighting — take a left into the next small room and activate the console. Exit, go straight past the entrance, and find a broken door. Look right to spot a hole you can crawl through. Follow this path to another room with the third and final console. Activate it, then return the way you came.
Step 7 – Complete the Mission
Back at the main network console, interact with it. The monitors will switch from red to green, marking the quest complete. Your next task will be to confront the stranger on the top floor. You can reach them by heading up one of the ramps and through the newly unlocked door next to the slumped-over soldier.
