How to Lower Your Heat Level in Evil Genius 2

To lower your Heat Level in Evil Genius 2 you will need to take on certain missions. These special schemes are indicated with purple markers, and will each tell you how much heat will be deducted upon completion. You can also use Emma as your Genius if you would like extra help keeping heat level low.

What Happens If You Hit Maximum Heat?

If you manage to fill the heat gauge associated with a particular area you will trigger a cooldown. You won’t be able to run any missions while this cooldown is in effect. This can really slow down your operations so make sure you take on schemes that lower heat every now and then. You can always do schemes in other regions while you wait, but you generally want to avoid your heat level getting too high.
