Walkthrough
- 1Exit the initial room, grab supplies (health, armor, ammo), and ride the lift up.
- 2Go through the door at the top and help Raven Squad fight Strogg Marines.
- 3After the lights turn off, equip your Shotgun and destroy the two Blaster Turrets and two rotating teleporters that appear.
- 4Proceed to the next hallway and activate the bridge.
- 5Cross the bridge and enter the room with a large central elevator. Call the elevator and kill the Gunner riding down.
- 6As the elevator arrives, quickly destroy the four teleporters in the corners of the room that spawn Tactical Transfers. Use the Shotgun for mobility.
- 7Get on the elevator and ride it up.
- 8Upon arrival, face a Light Tank and Strogg Marines spawning from a teleporter. Prioritize destroying the Light Tank, then the Marines and the teleporter.
- 9Leave through the door to the next room, where you'll face a Gunner and two teleporters spawning Tactical Transfers. Grab the LARGE ARMOR VEST before proceeding.
- 10Enter the next room, which contains a Berserker and two teleporters spawning up to six Tactical Transfers. A Gladiator and more Tactical Transfers will then enter. Destroy the nearest teleporter immediately, then the one on the other side. Use strong weapons if needed. Pick up two SMALL HEALTH PACKS.
- 11Proceed to the next room, take the door that doesn't lead back, and enter the teleporter to complete the level.
- 12Upon re-materializing, turn left and jump to the upper level. Pick up the MACHINEGUN near the broken door and head through the other door.
- 13Carefully jump across the broken bridge. On the other side, kill the Gunner and use the HEALTH STATION.
- 14In the next room, a Berserker will charge. Destroy the two teleporters on the right that spawn Strogg Marines and Tactical Transfers.
- 15Run into the next room where the Network Guardian appears. Quickly run right and crouch under the next door to avoid its attacks.
- 16Head left and walk across the large blue pipes. Jump to the destroyed platform and head through the door.
- 17In the next room, kill the two Tactical Transfers and find the CLIP.
- 18Enter the next room to face two Berserkers. Look under the central platform where the floor is destroyed, crawl under it, and follow the cables into a small hallway. Go through the unlocked door and activate the lift.
- 19Exit the lift, turn left, and enter the room with a teleporter and a crate of four ARMOR SHARDS. Destroy the teleporter.
- 20Go back to the previous room and run through the other door. You'll find a LARGE ARMOR VEST, NAILS, ROCKETS, and two LARGE HEALTH PACKS.
Tips
- Protecting Raven Squad members, especially Tech Raffel, can make subsequent fights easier as they provide support fire.
- The Shotgun is recommended for its effectiveness against multiple close-range threats like turrets and teleporters, and for its utility in quickly moving around rooms.
- Prioritize destroying teleporters as soon as they appear to prevent enemy spawns.
- The Light Tank is the primary threat in its encounter; focus fire on it first.
- In the room with the Berserker and Gladiator, use strong weapons like the DMG if Raven Squad is not present or has been eliminated.
- Be aware of the Network Guardian's powerful rockets and try to outrun its attacks.
- Crouching under the door after the Network Guardian encounter can help avoid its initial attacks.
