Hank Scorpio: You think I'm super? You flatter me.

    If you’re referring to collecting syringes, you need to buy a “beach chair” decoration and place it on the beach

    Long-time players who have the “beach towel and umbrella” is the location for collecting syringes
  • So the season is over and the app says it will let me finish the very last quest “Better fighting through science” but when I go to click “Do It” next to “collect syringes” none of the characters have syringes next to their task rewards. Just money and exp. And when I tried anyway, they don’t drop any syringes. Anyone have any idea how to make them drop syringes? I’d love to finish the quest.
