Briefing[]

Let's confirm the mission.

Destroy all of the new large-scale weaponry being built at GA Europe's Hejde Arsenal.

The Hejde facility has announced that it is leaving the GA group. This mission is a matter of internal housecleaning.

The ex-GAE guards should still be in the facility, but you have clearance to eliminate them if they endanger the mission.

Keep in mind that Akvavit has support the Hejde Arsenal for some time - it's possible that they've provided some backup now as well.

Those are your orders. We're not sure of what it looks like in there. Watch your step.

Special Debriefing[]

The Hejde team were known as the heretical zealots of GA. More than any profits or politics, they may have just been in love with their research.

They were driven by research, regardless of how dangerous it was... That's just the impression I get.

... Maybe because that's how my father was.

Overview[]

The mission objective is to destroy the large-scale weapon chassis being built at the Hejde Arsenal construction docks. The player will be provided with the same minimap as they were in the mission Barbe-Bleue, and must navigate through the facility and destroy each weapon individually. There are a number of enemy units throughout the facility, although only the large-scale weapons need to be destroyed to complete the mission.

Hard Mode Differences: Most of the mission remains the same, although it is revealed that Menno Ruh has arrived to support the Hejde Arsenal, likely hired by Akvavit. She appears once the final massive weapon has been destroyed, and the player must fight her NEXT Primitive Light.

Enemies[]

Numerous defense MTs
Numerous rocket MTs
Three massive weapon frames
Seven tank-type Normals
Eleven lightweight Normals
Primitive Light (Hard mode only)
