- Squirrel with a Gun father's bunker is a compact combat and traversal area reached from the open-world streets.
- Bring a car for the central ramp challenge and the road-based Golden Acorn objective.
- Bring any gun before entering, because agents block the main route and protect the bunker approach.
- Search the elevated structures after clearing the road to find the hidden Sunglasses Filter.
- Return later if needed because the area is easier once you have better mobility and a larger acorn supply.
Squirrel with a Gun father's bunker Location
Father’s Bunker is an optional landmark in the later portion of the Squirrel with a Gun map. The entrance is positioned near the road that runs beyond Mean Street, making the area easy to overlook if you are following collectible routes instead of major landmarks. Look for the fortified bunker entrance and the raised road leading toward it.
The area is built around a short approach road, a central ramp, and several elevated bunker structures. It does not function like a large neighborhood with many buildings to search. Instead, the bunker focuses on combat, driving, and vertical movement. That makes preparation more important than route length.
For the official game listing and platform details, use the Squirrel with a Gun Steam page.
Main Route
Follow the road toward the bunker entrance and clear the agents blocking the approach.
Traversal Route
Use the central ramp with a car to reach the bunker’s elevated collectible path.
Filter Route
Climb the bunker structures after combat and inspect the upper platforms for the hidden filter.
| Area Feature | What to Look For | Recommended Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Bunker road | Agents positioned along the approach | Any gun and a car |
| Central ramp | A raised section in the middle of the route | Car |
| Elevated structures | Platforms and bunker rooftops | Gun-assisted jumps |
| Filter location | Upper structure near the bunker route | Any gun |
Use the bunker entrance as your visual anchor. If you reach a large road section with a ramp in the middle, you are already in the correct area.
Father's Bunker Combat Preparation
The first major objective is tied to the agents on the bunker road. You need to clear the route rather than simply drive past the enemies. A firearm is the safest preparation because it lets you deal with agents before they surround the car or interrupt a jump.
A car is also strongly recommended. The road objective can be completed on foot, but the vehicle makes the central ramp collectible much more manageable. It also gives you a fast way to reposition if agents scatter across the approach.
Before entering, check that you have enough ammunition and a weapon suited to your movement style. The game’s gun-assisted traversal makes even a basic firearm useful, while stronger launchers can make elevated routes more forgiving. Do not spend all your ammunition on distant targets if you still need to use recoil for a jump.
| Preparation | Why It Matters | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Any gun | Required for the road agents and safer traversal | High |
| Car | Needed for the central ramp challenge | High |
| Extra acorns | Useful for upgrades and later equipment | Medium |
| Strong mobility tool | Helps reach high platforms | Optional |
| Clear route | Prevents enemies from interrupting jumps | High |
Approach the Road
Enter the bunker area from the connected street and identify the road leading toward the fortified entrance. Keep the car nearby instead of leaving it at the previous landmark.
Clear the Agents
Defeat every agent positioned on the bunker road. Use cover, the car, or elevated ground to avoid being pushed away from the route.
Secure the Entrance
Move through the cleared road and confirm that no remaining agent is hiding around the bunker structures or side platforms.
Return to the Ramp
Once the road is safe, bring the car to the central ramp. This gives you a clean attempt at the vehicle-based Golden Acorn.
Do not attempt the ramp challenge while agents are still active nearby. Enemy attacks can redirect the car and turn a controlled jump into an accidental fall.
Golden Acorns and Ramp Challenges
Father’s Bunker contains two Golden Acorn challenges. They use different skills, so completing one does not automatically solve the other. The first is a combat objective on the road. The second is a vehicle and positioning challenge involving the ramp in the middle of the area.
The road objective is straightforward: remove every agent along the bunker approach. If an enemy falls away from the road or becomes difficult to see, circle the area before assuming the objective is finished. The reward should appear once the required enemies have been defeated.
The ramp challenge is more dependent on setup. Line up the car with the middle ramp, build enough speed, and keep the vehicle centered as you launch. Small adjustments are preferable to sharp turns, especially when approaching the ramp from an angle.
| Golden Acorn Objective | Requirement | Core Method | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Agents On The Road | Car and any gun | Defeat every agent on the bunker road | Moderate |
| Not So Straight-And-Narrow | Car | Use the central ramp and reach the raised path | Moderate |
| Road cleanup | No separate upgrade listed | Search side sections for remaining enemies | Low |
| Ramp retry | Car | Reset the vehicle and approach with a straighter line | Low |
Road Clear
Focus on accuracy first. Eliminate agents before collecting nearby items or attempting jumps.
Ramp Setup
Start far enough away to build speed, then keep the car centered as you approach the launch point.
Recovery Plan
If the car falls, leave the area briefly and return after it resets or becomes accessible again.
Clear the road first, complete the ramp challenge second, and search for the photo filter last. This order reduces interruptions and keeps the route organized.
How to Reach the Bunker Photo Filter
The bunker’s photo filter is placed above the normal walking route, so it is easy to miss during the first visit. After the road is safe, look across the bunker structures for a raised platform or rooftop route. The filter is positioned on top of one of these structures rather than beside the main entrance.
Any gun can help with the final climb because recoil-based movement is central to the game’s platforming. Approach the structure from the side with the lowest vertical gap. Jump first, then use controlled shots to extend your height. Avoid firing too quickly, since excess recoil can push the squirrel past the platform.
The best route is usually a series of short jumps instead of one long leap. Pause on each platform, turn toward the next structure, and confirm your landing before firing again. If you fall, return to the nearest stable ground and repeat the climb rather than trying to recover from a dangerous position.
| Climbing Stage | Positioning Advice | Common Mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Ground level | Start below the lowest elevated structure | Attempting the tallest platform first |
| First platform | Face the next ledge before firing | Shooting while turning |
| Upper structure | Use short recoil bursts | Holding the trigger too long |
| Filter platform | Land near the center | Jumping immediately after landing |
Father's Bunker Collection Checklist:
- Reach the bunker road from the connected street
- Defeat every agent on the bunker approach
- Collect the road-based Golden Acorn
- Use the car to complete the central ramp challenge
- Climb the upper structures and collect the Sunglasses Filter
The filter route is easier when you treat each platform as a checkpoint. Stabilize after every landing before using another recoil jump.
Completion Route and FAQ
A clean completion route keeps Father’s Bunker short and repeatable. Start with the road, then use the same cleared space to position the car. Once both Golden Acorn objectives are complete, switch to vertical exploration for the filter.
You do not need to collect every item in the surrounding districts before entering. However, having a firearm and access to a car saves time. If your current equipment makes the upper platforms difficult, mark the bunker mentally and return after unlocking stronger movement options.
| Objective | Best Time to Attempt | Suggested Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Road agents | First visit | Use a gun and clear the entire approach |
| Central ramp acorn | After combat | Bring the car to the middle ramp |
| Sunglasses Filter | After both acorns | Climb the upper bunker structures |
| Revisit cleanup | Any later visit | Check the road and high platforms again |
