Briefing[]

Raven, Controller forces have succeeded in occupying the energy reactor!

Their objective is unclear, but if the reactor is destroyed it will set off a chain reaction causing extensive damage throughout the city.

To make matters worse, the facility's security system has been activated. In order to reach the core, you'll have to bypass both gun emplacements and energy shields.

We're running out of time. Good luck.

Walkthrough[]

Equip either a well armored AC to endure the laser turrets or an agile one to bypass the shields quickly. When you start the mission, your path will be temporarily blocked by a hall of energy shields. While you can pass through them without stopping, you will sustain a fair amount of damage doing so. Energy turrets will also open up from the ceiling to open fire. When you hear/see the announcement "Intruder detected! Activating security system!", immediately advance forward and retreat into one of the gaps you're close to in order to avoid the upcoming energy blast fired from the end of the hall. Your goal is to make your way to the end and destroy the wall while sustaining as little damage as possible. Once taken down, you will be faced with a quad-leg Controller AC using the POWER laser weapon arms which do a considerable amount of damage. A well armored AC with good energy defense can stave off the energy-eccentric AC while a maneuverable one can dodge its attacks. However, you must be careful as not only you are on a time limit, but that the energy reactor can sustain damage from your crossfire.
