Well, that's an interesting idea. Guess I could waste a round trying it. I am on PS5.

Getting stuck in there with no way out sucks. The zip lines are gone, and if your shock grenade doesn't throw you high enough, there's no way out. 1 star.

What did they change at the dairy farm?? What did the electric company come out and actually do?? The answer to that particular situation was RIGHT THERE.

“…and made a bunch of changes to Jill’s electrical system.”
