Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After character creation, follow your Ghost towards the great wall in the Cosmodrome, Old Russia. Stay on the upper path to avoid piles of cars.
  2. 2
    Enter the building and follow your Ghost. Be aware that Fallen enemies are now aware of your presence.
  3. 3
    Proceed through the gate on your right and collect the rifle.
  4. 4
    Engage your first Fallen enemies: Dregs (short, rifle-wielding) and Vandals (stronger, pulse rifles, more health). Aim for headshots for critical damage. Focus on Vandals or rush Dregs.
  5. 5
    Continue across the walkway to find a Loot Chest containing a Special Weapon. White ammo boxes are for Primary weapons, green for Special.
  6. 6
    Crouch and strafe through the area with trip mines outlined with lasers, firing at approaching Fallen.
  7. 7
    Head outside through the spinning fans into a more open area. Use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) to engage Fallen arriving from a dropship.
  8. 8
    Your objective is the far left of the area. As you clear Fallen in small rooms, you should approach Level 2.
  9. 9
    Upon reaching Level 2, go to your Character Screen and upgrade your Level 2 ability to unlock grenades.
  10. 10
    Clear out the remaining Fallen to face the area boss, Rahn, Devil Captain.
  11. 11
    Fight Rahn using the pillars for cover. Use a grenade to lower his shield, then fire bursts at his head to stagger him. Duck and cover to regenerate health if needed.
  12. 12
    After defeating Rahn and any remaining enemies, you will be sent into orbit.
  13. 13
    Upon arriving at The Tower, head to the Vanguard to equip new Armor.
  14. 14
    Visit the Gunsmith to acquire one of four new weapons.
  15. 15
    Go to the Shipwright to obtain your ship.
  16. 16
    Open Nav Mode and select Orbit to leave The Tower.
Tips
  • Spinmetal Leaves are a resource found in Old Russia; they are metallic plants that shimmer and blend with shrubbery.
  • Loot Chests can be found randomly throughout the areas; Golden ones contain better items.
  • Dregs and Vandals can be shot in the head for critical damage.
  • When fighting Rahn, use Special Weapons and grenades to break his shields.
