Overview of the 38 Campaign Jobs
The campaign of this highly anticipated sequel offers a massive variety of environments, vehicles, and abstract structures. Clearing all 38 jobs in the base campaign requires a significant time investment. On average, a casual playthrough takes about 60 hours, while highly optimized speedruns can lower this requirement to around 42 hours. Your overall efficiency depends heavily on how you manage your nozzles, extensions, and specialized equipment like scaffolding or abseiling gear.
Video Highlights:
- Detailed breakdown of all 38 base game levels.
- Direct comparison of the best and worst maps for efficiency.
- Insightful tips on using specialized vertical gear.
- Story integration analysis across major campaign milestones.
To help you plan your cleaning sessions, we have categorized the entire campaign into four distinct job types. Each category demands a different tactical approach and equipment loadout.
| Job Category | Total Levels | Key Characteristics | Recommended Tool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exteriors | 12 | Large vertical walls, roofs | Abseiling Gear |
| Interiors | 8 | Ceilings, floors, tight corners | Scissor Lift |
| Vehicles | 10 | Complex wheels, moving parts | Short Extension |
| Structures | 8 | Abstract shapes, interactive items | Long Nozzle |
When starting a new level, always assess the verticality first. Setting up your ladders, scaffolding, or abseiling gear early will save you from constantly switching tools mid-job.
S-Tier and A-Tier Levels
The S-Tier represents the absolute pinnacle of cleaning satisfaction. These levels feature massive, flat surfaces that allow you to zone out and wash away large swaths of grime without getting hung up on finicky, microscopic details.
The Billboard is a masterclass in vertical progression, serving as the perfect introduction to abseiling gear. The Ski Center is an architectural marvel, beautifully balancing massive windows, a wavy roof, and a cable car. Finally, the Shopping Mall stands as the absolute best interior map in the game, allowing you to use the scissor lift to clear massive skylights and watch the bright outdoors slowly reveal itself.
| Job Name | Tier | Main Appeal | Cleaning Challenge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billboard | S-Tier | Large flat surface | High vertical reach |
| Ski Center | S-Tier | Varied architecture | High wavy roof |
| Shopping Mall | S-Tier | Best interior layout | High glass skylights |
| Airship | A-Tier | Massive scale | Scaffolding setup |
| Roller Disco | A-Tier | Fun interior theme | Crouching under tables |
| 18-Wheeler | A-Tier | Story progression | Undercarriage & wheels |
A-Tier levels are also highly recommended. They introduce fantastic mechanics, such as the evolving layout of the Public Facility or the massive floor spaces of the Gas Station. The 18-Wheeler stands out among vehicles because opening its doors reveals a secret interior that directly ties into the game's overarching narrative.
On S-Tier maps like the Shopping Mall, work from the top down. Clean the skylights and high ceiling beams first so that dirty runoff does not soil the clean floors below.
B-Tier and C-Tier Levels
B-Tier levels are solid but suffer from minor design flaws. For instance, the Art Deco House is a beautiful building, but it represents a relatively weak and uninspiring use of the scissor lift. The Farm offers massive surfaces, which is great for continuous spraying, but the repetitive barn sides and the finicky silo hold it back from being truly engaging. The Solar System Exhibit is structurally interesting, but the planets remain static relative to each other rather than orbiting dynamically, which feels like a missed opportunity.
C-Tier levels are generally forgettable or overly tedious. The Campsite is far too spread out with basic, uninspiring assets. The Extra Long Limo is an exercise in frustration; despite having a helicopter parked on its roof, it features far too many repetitive wheels and lacks any unique design elements to break up the monotony.
Large Exteriors
- Massive surface areas
- Great for zoning out
- Requires abseiling gear
Detailed Interiors
- Complex verticality
- Scissor lift required
- Many hidden corners
Heavy Vehicles
- Intricate wheel wells
- Moving mechanical parts
- High attention to detail
Avoid spending too much time on C-Tier vehicle wheels. Use a wide-angle nozzle to clear the bulk of the dirt quickly before switching to a pinpoint nozzle for the remaining crevices.
The Worst Jobs: Should Have Left It Dirty
Some levels in the campaign feel more like chores than relaxing gaming sessions. These occupy the lowest tier, appropriately named "Should Have Left It Dirty." These maps should be approached with patience, as they feature highly complex, small-scale geometry that disrupts your cleaning flow.
The Dog Car is a prime offender. It takes less than six minutes to clean, offering almost zero satisfaction, and is simply a standard car adorned with tacky dog decorations. Even worse is the Futuristic Bike. Its wheel design is incredibly complex, filled with tiny, hard-to-reach crevices that make cleaning an absolute nightmare.
| Job Name | Tier | Why It Fails | Average Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra Long Limo | C-Tier | Repetitive wheels | 45 minutes |
| Campsite | C-Tier | Spread out, basic | 30 minutes |
| Dog Car | Dirty | Too short, boring | 6 minutes |
| Futuristic Bike | Dirty | Awful wheel design | 15 minutes |
While these bottom-tier jobs are frustrating, completing them is mandatory if you want to unlock the final campaign levels and view the ending credits.
Efficiency Walkthrough and Strategies
To tackle the massive list of campaign levels without burning out, you must optimize your workflow. Follow this step-by-step methodology to maximize your cleaning speed across all environments.
Equip the Right Gear
Before spraying, select the nozzle and extension combination that matches the surface distance. Use long extensions for high ceilings and wide angles for large floors.
Work Top to Bottom
Always clean roofs, ceilings, and high walls first. This ensures dirty water runoff does not ruin already cleaned lower sections of the job.
Use the Dirt Highlight Tool
Frequently pulse your dirt highlight button to reveal tiny, overlooked spots on complex structures like wheels, railings, and corners.
Deploy Scaffolding Early
Do not waste time trying to reach high spots from the ground. Set up scaffolding or scissor lifts immediately to maintain a direct cleaning angle.
Keep a steady, sweeping motion. Moving your camera too quickly can leave tiny lines of dirt behind, forcing you to go back and double-check your work.
