How to unlock the It’s A Long Shot achievement in The Escapists 2 - Definitive Guide
For this escape we are using the cannon on the right hand side of the prison, when you find the crowbar just go use it on the cannon when no one around and that will fix it, next you need the 2 springs and log to build a launcher, once built go use that on the cannon as well, last not least you need to make a helmet to escape so this is were you need to have the coconut tape and hammer to craft it and once you have that done use it on the cannon and that’s it you have escaped
I found the second spring in the middle desk on the second floor of the big top tent. I don't believe this one is guaranteed to be there, so I kept starting a new game and checking this desk, restarting if it wasn't there. I could not find it anywhere else.
The unique single player escape is very simple for Big Top Breakout. You need to repair the large cannon that is next to the big tent and that will shoot you to safety. First thing you need to do is raise your intellect to 60 (there is a bookshelf in the office just to the north of the cannon) as you need this for your crafting. Now time to go exploring. You will need to find a crowbar (needed to fix the cannon), and then craft a makeshift helmet (coconut, duct tape, hammer) and also craft a makeshift launcher (spring, spring, timber). Be sure to search as many desks as you can and speak to other prisoners who are selling items. If you are struggling for springs there is usually one in the warden’s office at the top of the map.
Once you have the crowbar, the helmet, and the launcher make your way to the cannon. Use all 3 items with the cannon and you will be shot to freedom!
