Mission overview
The Alpha Halo finale combines shipboard combat, timed pressure, and a vehicle escape. The mission rewards clean execution more than exhaustive searching.
Recommended loadout: Carry one dependable close-range weapon and one flexible mid-range option before the final sequence.
Objective priorities
- Keep moving through cleared ship sections instead of rechecking empty rooms.
- Save durable weapons for the objective rooms that force close combat.
- During the escape, prioritize a stable route over unnecessary speed.
Combat and difficulty tips
- Reload and collect ammunition before beginning a timed sequence.
- Use short corrections in the Warthog rather than oversteering after every impact.
- If the escape repeatedly fails, learn the safe line through one section at a time.
