    Start by killing enemies on the streets below.
  2. 2
    Find the collectible Gangster Bling inside a blue 2-story house on the right side of the area.

    Continue down the street and defeat the Warlord using Fireflies for distraction and melee attacks.
  4. 4
    Find the collectible Supertree Souvenir in the area with stands.
  5. 5
    Use the Mobile Armory if desired.
  6. 6
    When crossing the tunnel, be prepared for an ambush from the right and above. Backtrack slightly to avoid grenades and proceed slowly.
  7. 7
    After passing people hanging from poles (who cannot be saved), stay behind a large rock and use abilities to take down enemy robots.
  8. 8
    Jump across a gap and enter a house on the left. Go to the second floor to find the collectible Dud Slave Collar.
  9. 9
    A Warlord will appear on central platforms. Use the second floor of the house on the right to reach him for a melee kill, or use Fireflies and headshots.
  10. 10
    Proceed to trailer containers. Fall back as Grunts emerge from falling containers and defeat them. Use Immolation if available.
  11. 11
    Climb the orange and then blue containers to get on top. Look right from the white container to find the collectible Antique Vase.
  12. 12
    A PAWS will break down the main gate. Stay outside to deal with minions first, then engage the PAWS. Use cover and grenades.
  13. 13
    After the PAWS is defeated, more Grunts and normal enemies appear. Defeat them. Your objective changes.
  14. 14
    Proceed inside, where more Grunts appear. Hendricks will instruct you to take the second floor.
  15. 15
    On the second floor, be cautious of a ground drone and a Warlord. Defeat the Warlord first, then the drone and Grunts.
  16. 16
    On the third floor, enemies with Riot Shields appear. Use Flashbangs to defeat them.
  17. 17
    As you try to exit, more enemies appear outside and inside. Defeat all of them.
  18. 18
    Go up the stairs, kill more enemies, and take out snipers on the other side of the walkway.
  19. 19
    After a talk with Kane, go back up the stairs into the building. Defeat the Grunts and check the central column for the collectible Mineral.
  20. 20
    Exit the building to face aerial drones. Use Immolation to take them down quickly.
  21. 21
    Deal with enemies on the adjacent walkway, throwing back grenades. Go up the stairs.
  22. 22
    In the next room, many Grunts will appear. Use Immolation and Grenades. Shoot down the 2 turrets. Hack open the door to trigger a scene.
  23. 23
    Objective: Protect Hendricks. Enemies will attack in waves.
  24. 24
    The first wave comes from the second floor. Go upstairs and shoot down the hallways.
  25. 25
    Enemies break through the window. Shoot them as they enter.
  26. 26
    More enemies arrive via zipline from a VTOL. Take them out.
  27. 27
    More enemies and Grunts come from the door across the room. Use Immolation and Grenades due to limited ammo.
  28. 28
    The final wave comes from a breached wall on the second floor, including enemies with riot shields.
  29. 29
    After Hendricks exits, cross the broken window and use Z-Tracs to trigger a scene.
  30. 30
    Cross two bridges, killing enemies running down them.
  31. 31
    In the Super Tree, choose to clear the inside or outside; Hendricks will handle the other. Avoid the red Wraith by shooting it from inside the treehouse.
  32. 32
    Choose one of two trees to proceed to. Use Z-Trac on the left tree and clear enemies.
