Briefing[]

Let's confirm the mission.

Eliminate the BFF remnants that have taken hold of the Razghul Colony's Subterranean Facility.

The enemy is primarily made up of BFF standard Normals, most of them probably equipped with long-range sniper weapons.

They're using electronic countermeasures, so you're going in radar-blind -- expect them to take advantage of the complex interior layout and set up ambushes. Stay calm and use your head.

Those are your orders.

Overview[]

The player must navigate their way through the interior of the Razghul Subterranean Facility and eliminate the five BFF Normals that have taken control. The bulk of the enemy force is made up of MTs armed with pulse guns, although they do not need to be destroyed to complete the mission. The enemy will deploy dense ECM, making target-acquisition via radar difficult. Although they are difficult to spot, destroying the small airborne jamming drones will reduce the ECM density in each chamber they occupy.

Hard Mode Differences: The enemy MTs are more numerous, and the player is not cleared for Primal Armor use. This can make the repeated fire from the MTs considerably dangerous in the enclosed spaces. The enemy Normals are also considerably more aggressive, with a greater tendency to dodge attacks, and even charge towards the player.

Dialogue[]

Fiona Jarnefeldt:^{(Hard Mode)} Multiple enemy signatures detected! These numbers are way above our projections! This... This isn't right. Exercise extreme caution. You aren't cleared for Primal Armor use.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:Destroy the enemy's main force: a squad of BFF Normals. The enemy has engaged ECM, as our reports predicted. Sighting by radar will be extremely difficult. Keep that in mind.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:ECM returning to standard levels. Your radar is back online.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:ECM density increasing. Tighten up your guard. Watch your step in there.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:Destruction of objective confirmed. That leaves 3.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:Target destroyed. 2 more to go.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:Destruction confirmed. 1 objective remains.

Fiona Jarnefeldt:All objectives destroyed. The mission was a success. Good work. Please head back.
