Collectibles[]

Walkthrough[]

The mission is a simple hit-and-run. The first chopper is near the deployment area, guarded by a few BAWS MTs. The second one is in a structure under a ridge protected by two turrets and more BAWS MTs. The last two are on-top of the ridge to the left.

However, there is an optional bonus objective to destroy the BAWS Tetrapod MT guarding the choppers, but it is too far away to be an actual threat. The tetrapod is an entirely new beast to tackle for new players, compared to the relatively weak bipedal MTs they've been accustomed to so far, but is relatively easy to beat with proper dodging and using structures as cover against it's ranged and melee attacks.

The mission ends once all choppers are destroyed.

Dialogue[]

Condition English Japanese Audio
Briefing Handler Walter: Got a job for you, 621. The Balam Group's sent a request.
Balam Industries: Raven! This request comes from Dafeng, one of our affiliates. The Group has committed to use of military force to handle the Rubicon Liberation Front. The target for this mission is a squad of transport choppers. Destroy them. You'll encounter guerilla resistance from BAWS mass-produced MTs—they're no great concern. You performed adequately in your last sortie, Raven. This did not go unnoticed. We will be watching with interest to see what you bring to the team.

Engaging RLF soldiers by helicopter landing area RLF Officer: It's here! Fight back!
RLF Soldier: We're no match for an AC...
RLF Officer: Have no fear! The Coral is with us!
Handler Walter: ...Looks like they've got a BAWS tetrapod. It's a cut above the other MTs. Ignore it and focus on the mission.

Post-mission conversation (If "Destroy the Tester AC" has been completed) G1 Michigan: Well, well, well! Handler Walter! The way your hound's been up in my business, I'm surprised you'd even dare to call.
Handler Walter: Michigan. About my proposal...
G1 Michigan: Yeah. You sure about that? I'll be working your hound just as hard as any other Redgun.
Handler Walter: Gen Fours can be emotionally withdrawn. They need a shot in the arm every now and then.
G1 Michigan: Then you got a deal. I'll send Volta and Iguazu. They'll give your latest hound a proper Redgun welcome.

Post-mission conversation (If "Destroy the Tester AC" has been completed; NG+ variant) Handler Walter: Michigan, about leaving 621 with the Redguns...
G1 Michigan: Handler Walter! Forgot to mention something. The Liberation Front's changing their strategy. Been cozying up to independent mercs.
Handler Walter: Great news, if it means more work for 621.
G1 Michigan: They can try whatever tricks they want. The Redguns are ready to smash some heads.
- -
Debriefing COM: One new message.
Handler Walter: I see you're back, 621. The corps see the Liberation Front as a hindrance to expanding their Coral survey... But to the Rubiconians, your actions are only helping the corps with their invasion. ...It's just a job, 621. All of it.

Trivia[]

  • Once all the helicopters are destroyed, the player's AC becomes fully invincible. There is enough time to take out the BAWS tetrapod MT with powerful weapons before the mission ends.
