Instead of staying behind the scenes, Bentley opts to do some field work for the team. He uses explosives and mechanical gadgets to do his work for him, since he is not known for his athleticism and physical prowess. He is put to the ultimate test when both of his friends are imprisoned by The Contessa.
He is on his own in trying to save Sly and Murray from The Contessa, using everything he has in order to rescue his friends. In the end, he put an end to The Contessa's operation and managed to rescue his friends. However, at the end of the game, he suffers a major injury after Sly and Carmelita defeat Clock-La, with his legs being crushed in Clockwerk's jaw while trying to retrieve the Hate Chip, the source of Clockwerk's immortality.
