Mouse: P.I. For Hire – B.A.N.G quest details
The core idea behind the B.A.N.G quest is to introduce you to weapon upgrades through schematics, which act as progression currency. Unlike simple upgrades, this system encourages exploration and rewards players who take time to search every corner of a mission.

Workbench and Tammy’s shop location
Before you can even think about upgrading your weapon, you need access to the Workbench, which is located in a very specific area.
The main hub area acts as your central base of operations. From here, you need to head toward the alleyway and locate the entrance to the basement. Once inside, you’ll find Tammy’s shop, where the workbench is set up.
This location becomes increasingly important as you progress, since it serves as your primary upgrade station throughout the game.

Step 1
Return to the main hub and locate the basement workbench.
Head through the alleyway and enter the basement to find Tammy’s shop.
