How to find the Mime Van in LEGO Batman Disrupted Debate

Step 1: Clear the construction area

Destroy nearby crates, barriers, and loose objects around the mission zone to gather LEGO pieces and earn bonus studs. Most required materials for the soap cannon are hidden inside destructible props near the blocked roadway and construction equipment.

Step 2: Break the forklift for the first cannon part

Head toward the parked forklift beside the construction zone and destroy it completely. The first required cannon component drops here and automatically adds to the mission build counter after collection.

Step 3: Search the nearby debris piles

Explore the surrounding street and smash loose environmental objects to uncover additional cannon pieces. Small prop piles and scattered construction materials contain the second required component needed to finish the soap cannon build.

Step 4: Destroy the blue barrier for the final part

Locate the blue destructible barrier near the edge of the blocked street and break it apart. The third and final construction piece appears here, unlocking the soap cannon build prompt immediately afterward.

Step 5: Build the soap cannon

Use the newly collected LEGO pieces at the glowing build spot to assemble the soap cannon. Once completed, the cannon still cannot fire until it receives an active water connection from the nearby supply station.

Step 6: Connect the hose to the water supply

Walk behind the cannon and grab the loose hose connection. Attach it to the nearby water supply outlet to activate infinite water flow and fully power the cleaning cannon for the next objective.

Tips to complete Disrupted Debate mission

  • Do not ignore small debris piles. One cannon component is hidden among loose environmental objects instead of obvious mission props.
  • If the cannon does not activate, check the hose connection behind the machine. The build alone is not enough.
  • The blue barrier must be completely destroyed. Partial damage will not release the final construction part.
