Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use an assault rifle to eliminate snipers.
  2. 2
    Use grenades to clear Locusts positioned behind turrets.
  3. 3
    After a brief conversation (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)), prepare to use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).
  4. 4
    A gate will open, revealing two Savage Boomers, a Butcher, and a Savage Grenadier.
  5. 5
    Stay behind cover and prioritize eliminating the two Savage Boomers first due to their high damage output.
  6. 6
    The Retro Lancer is effective against Boomers at close to mid-range, as their large size ensures hits despite the weapon's accuracy degradation over time.
  7. 7
    Proceed through the cleared path and descend the bridge into another Locust encounter.
  8. 8
    Incendiary grenades are effective against turret-mounted enemies.
  9. 9
    After defeating the Locusts in this area, move forward around the corners to face another turret.
