FBC Firebreak’s Hotfix Job sees you fixing a furnace and its seals before it melts down parts of the Oldest House.
FBC Firebreak is a PvE co-op shooter set in the same universe as Control. While Control showed us the grand threat of the Hiss from the eyes of Jesse Faden, FBC Firebreak brings things down to a more menial level. In this game, you go about fixing stuff while also contending with the threats plaguing the Oldest House.
The first thing you need to fix in the game is part of the Hotfix Job. Here, you have to fix a furnace with a faulty blast seal before it burns an entire sector. A lot is going on in this job, and it is likely to feel very intimidating as it is your first. There’s a lot to go over, and we’re here to help. In this guide, we shall go over the Hotfix Job in FBC Firebreak.

How To Complete the Hotfix Job in FBC Firebreak
Area 1
Right off the bat, Hank will inform you that the furnace is heating the whole sector up. Before fixing the source, you need to deal with the heat by fixing the Transfer Fans. There are four Transfer Fans that you need to repair. Alongside the fans, you also need to kickstart the generators in front of the fans to get the power flowing.
The Transfer Fans and generators are marked one at a time by a golden icon, so simply following the marker should get you to them. Approaching the fans triggers the Hiss. Deal with the Hiss and repair the Transfer Fan. One teammate should repair, while the other two should protect. Move on and power the generator to start the fan. When that’s done, move on to the next fan/generator and so forth.
After fixing the Transfer Fans, you’ll trigger a Special Enemy, which you then need to beat to call the Service Elevator. Calling the elevator triggers another horde, and you simply have to survive till the elevator arrives. There are ammo crates right next to the elevator that you can use to stock up on ammo to deal with the horde.

Area 2
The Service Elevator will take you to the second jobsite. Here, too, you will have to fix the Transfer Fans. The gameplay loop is the exact same as the first area, and only the number of fans you need to fix has been increased. The first zone has 4 fans to fix, and the second zone has 5. Fix the fans across these two zones and proceed ahead with the elevator.
Final Area
The final area continues much of the same loop as the first two. You have to repair the Transfer Fans over a series of zones, after which you’ll make your way to the Furnace Chamber. The first zone has 6 fans and the second 7. Repair these fans and head to the Furnace Chamber.
Once you’re in the Furnace Chamber, your job is to neutralize the furnace. To do so, you need to fill empty barrels with Black Rocks and then send those barrels into the furnace. This will neutralize the flames bursting from the furnace, letting you approach closer and repair the seals. Repair the seals and extract to complete the Hotfix Job.
