Walkthrough[]
The mission begins with a search and destroy task accompanied by a timer, allowing the RaD data breach timer to run out will fail the mission. The player will begin on the opposite end of the Grid interior from "Infiltrate Grid 086." Destroying the drones should take priority, as the player is allowed to explore at their leisure afterward.
Immediately open the Grid gate and dispatch the three laser drones in the first room, the first hacking drone can be found at the bottom of the room.
The second hacking drone can be found by moving past the sweltering furnace into the next room, it is hidden behind the right cargo container guarded by two TOYBOX mechs.
Next, fly up to the upper section of the room above where the hacking drone was and open the gate. Assault boost through the hall and open the next gate, the third hacking drone is in the front-left of the player when entering the room.
The gate to the right of the third hacking drone will automatically open with CLUTCH MTs engaging, the "Professor Nagai's Log (3)" data log can be found in the front-right corner of the revealed room.
Next, opening the gate to the left of the third hacking drone will lead to the original entrance of the Grid interior from the last mission, fly upwards in the room and turn around to enter the ceiling. Proceed forward, drop down, and turn around to find the fourth hacking drone at the end of the room.
The fifth hacking drone can be found by turning right from the door, heading to the end of the hall then turning left. Several CLUTCH MTs guard the final hacking drone.
Eliminating all hacking drones will remove the timer and the player may explore at their leisure without heading to the next objective. From the fifth hacking drone, turning around and heading to the left hallway will lead to a Tetrapod MT marked by LOGHUNT. Returning to the furnace at the beginning of the mission, players can enter one of the furnace pipes where several suicide drones and three CLUTCH MTs marked by LOGHUNT can be found.
G5 Iguazu/GHOST Mechs[]
Leaving the Grid interior to intercept the reinforcements will reveal that G5 Iguazu was hired by the Coyotes to support their operation. A checkpoint is made available at this point and G5 Iguazu will use three repair kits in the encounter.
Handling G5 Iguazu is simple enough, with only his LR-036 CURTIS rifle and Assault Armor to be wary of. However, upon his first repair kit use, four IA-27: GHOST mechs will ambush both the player and G5 Iguazu.
Iguazu will propose a temporary ceasefire to deal with the threats, two of the GHOST mechs specialize in ranged combat while the other two are pulse shield variants specialized in melee with an energy whip. The pulse shield variants are much more resilient and therefore the other two GHOST mechs should be taken out first. The player can bring a pulse weapon which can rapidly neutralize the GHOST mech pulse shields, in addition to mitigating HEAD BRINGER's shield.
The ceasefire with G5 Iguazu will end once the final GHOST mech is eliminated and the fight will proceed as normal.

|---|---|---|---|
| Briefing | "Cinder" Carla: Ah, my favorite little tourist. About my promise to take you up top... I need a little help cleaning up first. Y'see, a certain someone smashed up all my defense hardware... and now I've got rival Dosers muscling in. It's the Junker Coyotes... We never did get on. Always sniffing around, just waiting for a chance to bite... Making a mess is one thing, but they're going after our development data, too. We need to swat the hacking drones they sent before they make off with all my secrets. Yeah, it's pretty low of them, but at least give 'em credit for knowing where the value is. Anyway, did I mention that this is all your fault? You can make up for it by keeping my secrets safe. | - | - |
| Sortie | Ayre: Your handler didn't authorize this sortie either... But we shouldn't miss this chance. I'll support you. | - | - |
| Mission start | "Cinder" Cinder: Let's get rolling, tourist. Destroy all the hacking drones those degenerate Coyotes left here. Ayre: Let's be quick about this, Raven. "Cinder" Cinder: Security breach has reached 10%. Our firewall's going down fast... Must be about five drones to pull that off. |
- | - |
| 50% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: Security breach has reached 50%. Ayre: We can still make it, Raven. If you can't spot the targets, try using your scanner. |
- | - |
| 25% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: They've got our crypto keys. That's uh, not great. Ayre: Faster, Raven. |
- | - |
| 10% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: The firewall won't hold much longer! | - | - |
| Destroying first hacking drone | Ayre: Confirmed. Target destroyed. Four to go. "Cinder" Carla: Straight out of the gates. Keep it up, tourist. |

| Destroying first hacking drone (50% breach progress remaining) | Ayre: Confirmed. Target destroyed. Four to go. "Cinder" Carla: Took your sweet time... Hurry it up, tourist! |
- | - |
| Destroying second hacking drone | Ayre: Second target destroyed. "Cinder" Carla: I get why they want our tech, I just wish they had a little more flair. If it were me, I'd raid us from orbit and just yank our servers off the ground. |
- | - |
| Destroying second hacking drone (25% breach progress remaining) | Ayre: Second target destroyed. "Cinder" Carla: Three left... You've gotta work faster. |
- | - |
| Encountering MTs guarding third hacking drone | "Cinder" Carla: The Coyotes are using RaD MTs— they're hot stuff on the black market. Still, I'm not sure I like seeing my own babies used against me. | - | - |
| Destroying third hacking drone | Ayre: Confirmed. Target destroyed. Two remaining. "Cinder" Carla: Guess I better get to work on our countermeasures. |

| Above 25% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: Wow. That was fast. | - | - |
| Above 10% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: Good job, tourist. | - | - |
| Below 10% breach progress remaining | "Cinder" Carla: Just in time... They nearly had us. | - | - |
| - | "Cinder" Carla: I've sent the Coyotes and their pals a little countervirus—their servers are officially fried. Maybe that'll teach 'em to behave. Wait, the radar... Are there more of them? Ayre: They're outside. Let's move to intercept. |
- | - |
| Stalling | Ayre: Raven, they've called in backup. Shall we step outside and say hello? | - | - |
| Cutscene following exiting Grid interior | G5 Iguazu: Huh? You're the freelancer from the dam raid... And here I thought I'd just make some extra scratch. Guess I can settle the score at the same time. | - | - |
| Following previous cutscene (Sided with RLF in "Attack the Dam Complex") | "Cinder" Carla: I see the Coyotes got some help too... Don't forget to smile, tourist. G5 Iguazu: Y'know, I really owe ya one... You got lucky at the Dam, and I'm gonna prove it. You're gonna die, freelancer! |
