Mission overview
The campaign changes tone and enemy behavior in this investigation mission. Close-range awareness, ammunition discipline, and readable retreat paths become more important.
Recommended loadout: The shotgun is valuable at close range; pair it with an automatic weapon for sustained pressure.
Objective priorities
- Track the route through the facility instead of following every side corridor.
- Keep space behind you when entering unfamiliar rooms.
- Choose weapons that can answer fast close-range pressure.
Combat and difficulty tips
- Reload before activating obvious encounter triggers.
- Backpedaling into an uncleared room is more dangerous than holding a known doorway.
