Mission overview
One of the campaign's longest combined-arms missions alternates between interior rooms, exposed bridges, and large vehicle spaces. Resource planning matters across the full run.
Recommended loadout: A precision rifle and a heavy or plasma option provide the most flexible combination.
Objective priorities
- Check every major arena for a usable vehicle before advancing on foot.
- Remove turrets and heavy weapons before fighting ordinary infantry.
- Carry a ranged option for bridges and elevated platforms.
Combat and difficulty tips
- Vehicles are valuable cover as well as damage sources, but damaged vehicles should not anchor a fight.
- Use door thresholds to separate pursuing enemies from ranged support.
- Keep heavy ammunition for Hunters, vehicles, and dense reinforcement waves.
