Guide to navigating the Seattle checkpoint in Hyper Light Breaker. Learn how to deal with DUP forces, destroy scanners, and free detained civilians for good karma.
Follow your brother up to the checkpoint. You'll come to the checkpoint and Reggie will approach a couple of small doors on the right while a similar set of doors on the left will be open. Step through the doors and wait for Reggie to get through the checkpoint. Once he does, the doors in front of you will open and you'll be able to walk through them. Walk up to the station he was standing at and use it. You'll have to use the touch pad to move the red cursor up to the tip of the index finger.
Reggie will slug one of the guards. Hop the turnstile and take care of the other guard. As you start making your way up the street, the DUP will retreat a little and try to keep shooting. Use your Dash to keep up with them and catch the enemy. Shooting at them may be the easiest way since they are running away but a dash/chain combo should work well too.
Most of the compound is destroyable. Destroying the bio-scanners at the front will get you 3 more Shards. Don't go too far past that point though as you'll "leave the area" and be reset to a checkpoint. The cages near this section with the detained people can be opened (touchpad swipe) to set them free and gain good karma.
At this point, the game will insist on you destroying the D.U.P. Checkpoint which isn't just this area but the orange base like area ENE of where you are.
Attack
When you get to the front gate of the main base, you'll see the DUP shooting at the people on the ground and using tear gas against them. Climb up one side of the bridge and take these two out. Look around for any other elevated positions (there should be one on the side of the buildings to your left). There should also be a drone nearby that you can kill for a Shard though you may want to wait until it's safe.
After the upper areas are clear, you can start taking out the ground forces. You are much more agile than these enemies and there are plenty of obstacles. The best thing to do is to dash out, attack (and finish) one enemy and then find another safe area. Repeat this process until you get rid of the enemies. Find the large RV with the glowing plates on the side. Shoot the plates off and then hit the parts underneath (it's possible to hit them all with your chain but it can be quite hard).
When enough are destroyed, Reggie will tell you to hop on top. You'll have to swipe up on the touch pad and hold your finger there. Then keep hitting the R2 button to destroy it.
With your objective complete, reinforcements will arrive. They'll bring a large truck (which can be used for smoke), a Heavy Trooper and a few regular troops. The best thing to do is move quickly and knock off the regular enemies before tackling the big guy. The big guy has a chain gun so you want to keep moving. Even normally sturdy barriers won't stand up to the barrage. When it's time to go for him, you can attack him from the front. Attack him just as you would any other enemy by running around, take a couple of shots and then keep moving.
