Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of hassle in my mailbox. So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.

There's another car you can steal at the end of the room, so take it once you reach it. Drive around the corner just ahead and run over a few more enemies, then get out and use the security panel on your left to disable the alarm and stop the turret from shooting you. Use your icepick on the nearby blue panel to control the turret and use it to get rid of the other enemies here, then run over the rest of the enemies farther down. Turn off the alarm to get through the gate and kill any remaining enemies, then go around the next corner and shoot a few enemies and a trio of bots [use your rocket launcher or EMP grenades on the bots]. Shut off the alarm and go to the fenced area to your left for some ammo and items. Get in the hydra and try driving while also controlling the turret on top. Drive farther ahead and take out a bot, then continue around the next corner. Run over or shoot all the enemies here, then leave your vehicle and avoid the large hole in the middle of the room. Get in the phoenix here and kill the enemy by the anti-tank gun, then drive around the next corner. Detonate some mines and shoot a few enemies, then enter the save room that was on your left when you came up to this section. Pick up the mine launcher in here and save your game.

Go through the door here and kill a few enemies [try the sniper rifle for farther ones, or shooting the explosive barrels], then grab the ammo and enter the first open door. Grab the ammo and climb up the ladder, then crouch at the top to enter the vents. Take either path and shoot the enemies on the other side, then use your icepick on the blue panel to your left. Overload the camera and set the turret to attack enemies, then go to the yellow panel on the right side of the room. Use this panel to expose the vents on the rail cannon, then get some items from the nearby locker. Turn around and attack the vents near the bottom of the rail cannon to get your next objective. --------------------- Destroy Rail Cannon 2 --------------------- Go down the nearby stairs and shoot a few enemies through the fence, then hug the left wall to reach the other side.

Check the locker to your left for a nano boost and enter the next room. Shoot 3-4 guards before entering the section with the rail cannon, but watch for steam as you go. Shoot the other guards above through the floor and shoot the camera in the corner, then climb the ladder and use the yellow panel to open the vents on the rail cannon. Hack the blue panel up here to disable some tripwires, then drop to the ground and open the locker for another nano boost [remember where this nano boost is if you already have one]. Now shoot the vents on the rail cannon to get your next objective. --------------------- Destroy Rail Cannon 4 --------------------- Return to the second floor and head down the stairs, then go through the door and kill a trio of guards to your right.

Use your cloak if you want and rush down the ramp, then go past the enemies and to the first waypoint. ----------------------------------------- Get To The Access Hatch Under The Helipad ----------------------------------------- Shoot a couple enemies to your right and take a health pack, then head left to kill another group of enemies. Pretty soon you get told that you can head east to get more equipment or go south to reach the exit. I recommend heading south since the items aren't that great east of you, but the choice is up to you. If you go east you will find a LOT of enemies and only a little bit of ammo and an bio-energy upgrade. In my opinion, it's not worth it so go south instead. A cheap way to finish the level is to just keep using your cloak augmentation and run past all the enemies, but if you want to do it the hard way you just need to kill the enemies along the way. Once you reach the helipad look for some lasers and a passage through the middle of it. Run through the lasers to the hatch beyond in order to end the stage. ############################################################################### (C-12) RESCUE ############################################################################### ---------------------------------------------- Rendezvous With The Remaining Coalition Troops ---------------------------------------------- Smash the supply crates and go up the ramp, then shoot a group of enemies and open the gate to your right.

Return outside and shoot up some guards around the next corner, then go through a door an shoot up more enemies and a few bots. ---------------------------------------- Follow Pitney To Radio For Air Transport ---------------------------------------- Once you get the message to fall back you should follow Pitney down the ramp to the next waypoint. Enter the store room and collect all the ammo [including the flechette], then use the save point and leave the room. ----------------------- Secure The Landing Zone ----------------------- I found that the reflex boost augmentation helped in this section. Shoot your way back outside the same way that you came in here and use your flechette [and any augmentations you want] to shoot up the enemies. Kill them on the ground until they start coming down from the roof, then shoot enemies both on the ground and in the air to finish the stage. ############################################################################### (C-13) DESCENT ############################################################################### ---------------- Find Bravo Squad ---------------- Enter the pipe and follow it left, then go left up the ramp and enter the next room until you fall to the ground. -------------------- Continue Into Sewers -------------------- Smash all the supply crates and head south along the watery path, then use your vision augmentation to help you kill an enemy.

Smash the supple crates and enter the next room, then head right and smash some supply crates. Pick up a wooden crate and duck under the lasers nearby, then destroy the bot and use the save point just ahead. Leave the save room and shoot a group of enemies up ahead [the explosive barrels help a bit], then kill some more enemies in the next room. Smash all the supply crates and enter the next room, then shoot some guards. Smash the crates and continue on until you get your next objective. ------------------------- Infiltrate Control Center ------------------------- This room is REALLY annoying, but if you use your vision augmentation it helps. Keep your eyes up high as you shoot the enemies, then hug the right wall and climb up a ladder. Shoot a few enemies up high from here, then take a few steps and enter a passage to your right. Climb the stairs and smash supply crates [more to your left], then climb up a nearby ladder. Ignore the enemies in the window and run across the bridge instead, then turn off the security if it's on. Run through the door to your left and shoot an enemy there. -------------------------- Escape From Control Center -------------------------- Kill the enemies in the next room and take all the items, then check the locker and grab the health upgrade by the windows. Now approach the yellow panel on the wall and use it to open the exit door. -------------------------- Escape From Control Center -------------------------- Kill the enemies that come from that door as you cross the bridge once more, then go through the door and destroy the spiderbots as you climb up the stairs.

Use your sniper rifle to take out the guards by the turret, then launch the metal box through the next set of lasers. Shoot a few more enemies and grab all the ammo, then enter the room to your left. Shoot a few more enemies and go into the room up ahead, then kill a pair of enemies [turn off the alarm if needed]. Take the rail laser and make a note of the ammo on the table here [if you use your vision augmentation with the rail laser, then you can kill enemies through walls]. -------------------------- Access Maintenance Tunnels -------------------------- Return to the tunnels and climb the ladder, then kill an enemy and smash some supply crates. ---------------------- Get Past Main Entrance ---------------------- Open the small door to your left and crawl through, then smash all the supply crates and use the switch on the left wall to lower the barrier. Grab the rail laser ammo and open the next door, then fire your icepick at the blue panel to your left. Disable the camera and reprogram the turret to take out a few enemies, then head left and grab the ammo before going through the door. ---------------------- Assault Control Center ---------------------- Use the much needed save point on your right before entering the next room, then shoot the enemies and turn off the alarm before advancing.

Take out the bots with rockets or whatever you want, then use the same strategy to get a few more hits on the boss and end the stage. ############################################################################### (C-15) ASSAULT ############################################################################### ----------------------------------------------- Take Control Of The Airfield Tower Control Room ----------------------------------------------- Read up on your new electrical storm augmentation and smash a few supply crates, then follow your friends and shoot up a group of enemies. Enter the door and smash the supply crates to your left, then use your sniper rifle to make short work of the next group of enemies. Smash the supply crate and collect the items, then help your friends advance as you shoot more enemies, smash supply crates and collect ammo. Go through the doorway and up some ramps as you shoot a pair of guards, then smash a supply crate and snipe the enemies in the windows. Drop to the ground and climb a ladder to reach those windows, then jump through them and collect the ammo. Go all the way down the nearby staircase for some supply crates and a save point. Go all the way up the staircase and smash a supply crate, then shoot a trio of enemies in the next room before you enter it. ---------------------------------- Disable The Turrets So We Can Land ---------------------------------- Take the ammo and the bio-energy cell by the computers, then return to the ground and shoot up a group of enemies. Although you get recommended to use your electrical storm augmentation, I didn't find it as useful as using your guns and the shield. Shoot another group just outside to your right, then head left down the path and shoot two more. Turn right and jump over the debris before shooting a pair of guards, then enter the building and use the yellow panel to disable one of the SAM turrets. ---------------------------------------- Help Charlie Company Hold Their Position ---------------------------------------- Go back over the debris that you used to get here and head right, then shoot a few enemies high and low until you complete this objective. ---------------------------------- Disable The Turrets So We Can Land ---------------------------------- Jump the debris in front of you and take out a large group of enemies [try your electrical storm augmentation, or any big guns to make it easier]. Continue onward and grab a bio-energy cell from an alcove to your right, then take a few more steps to start a cutscene. Shoot the enemy on your right and enter the building, then smash the supply crates and use the yellow panel to disable the second SAM turret and end the stage. ############################################################################### (C-16) NIGHTFALL ############################################################################### ------------------------ Infiltrate Republic Base ------------------------ Smash the supply crates and hug the left or right wall as you snipe some enemies, then finish off the rest with your weapon of choice [I used the rail laser]. -------------------------- Rescue Your Two Squadmates -------------------------- Enter the building and help your friends for a bit [there is a hydra and a save room left of you, so feel free to go there first], then shoot your way right and look for a hole to your right. Drop down and go right, then free your squadmates from their cell and smash the nearby supply crate. ------------------- Destroy The Mortars ------------------- Leave the cell and turn right, then use the yellow panel to disable the mortars. ------------------------- Destroy Shield Generators ------------------------- Climb up either ladder and continue east [use your rockets on the giant bots, then use your cloak augmentation as you run up a large ramp and jump onto a bridge. Head right on the bridge and run up the stairs, then use the save room. Leave the save room and turn right, then smash the supply crates and shoot the two small orange targets on the shield generator until they explode. Save your game once more, then go back down the stairs and run to the other side of the bridge. Shoot the two orange targets here to disable this shield generator, then use the save point once more before you head west. Use your rockets on the giant bot here and look left for a Hydra [if you didn't use it earlier], then climb in and start gunning down enemies. Use the nearby save room after collecting the items inside, then return to your Hydra. Drive northwest and use the rockets on your Hydra to take out a group of bots, then shoot any remaining enemies north of you. Go up the ramp to your right and shoot the four orange targets on this shield generator to end the stage. ############################################################################### (C-17) REVENGE ############################################################################### ----------------------------------------- Find The Keycodes For The Restricted Area ----------------------------------------- Follow the hallway and open the door at the end, then shoot enemies high and low [watch your radar] and another small group coming from the hallway ahead of you. Collect the ammo and smash the supply crates, then follow the hallway and go through the next door. Shoot an enemy to your right and use the save point, then destroy some spiderbots and an enemy. Kill another one by the turret up ahead, then check the right vents for some ammo before crawling through the left vents. Kill a trio of enemies as you go through the OPEN [left] doorway to find more items and a locker. Open the door in this area and smash the supply crate, then shoot a pair of enemies in the next open room. Shoot the spiderbots on the pipe above and toss a grenade at the top of the ladder to destroy a few more. Climb the ladder and jump on the pipe, then smash a few supply crates on your left. Shoot the enemies down below and follow the pipe [crouch as needed] until it ends in the next room. Drop down and kill any remaining enemies, then open the lockers and enter the hallway just ahead. Shoot two enemies in the next room and check the locker, then use the yellow panel to open the generator access door. ----------------------- Destroy The Power Nodes ----------------------- Go back down the hallway to the spot where you dropped from the pipe, then go through the door and cross the bridge. Use your rockets on a bot and shoot a group of guards, then use your rockets on another bot. Go through the left door for some items, then enter the hallway and kill two enemies in the room to your left. Grab some items up ahead before entering this room, then destroy a group of spiderbots. Go through the door opposite you [at this end of the room and smash the supply crates as more spiderbots appear in the last room. Open either door and destroy the spiderbots, then enter the next room and destroy a trio of bots. Go through the next door and destroy some spiderbots on the bridge, then shoot a few guards and smash some supply crates. Stock up in the save room on your left before using the save point, then open the next two doors and enter the red room. Use the yellow panel to open the power core access sheaths, then shoot the large group of enemies that appears. While the enemies are really annoying, you're main target are the orange spikes in the ceiling. Destroy these and the stage is over. ############################################################################### (C-18) ESCAPE ############################################################################### --------------------------------------- Get Out Of The Base Before It Blows Up! --------------------------------------- This is a pretty easy final stage, since you don't have to worry about enemies, health, ammo or save points. Switch on the waypoint beacons with select and just run all the way to the entrance of the base. The hardest part of the stage is not getting lost and not falling off the bridges and walkways. The stage ends once you reach the entrance to this base, then you can watch the ending! ############################################################################### (D) TIPS ############################################################################### Be sure to reload between fights so that you're as ready as possible for the next one. Smash all supply boxes to find helpful items, weapons and ammo. Look carefully in areas to find items and pick them up with square [after pointing at them] instead of walking over them if you need to. Although you can switch augmentations, weapons, and secondary fire modes with the dpad there's a better way. If you use your inventory to do these jobs, then the game pauses as you access your inventory. This gives you plenty of time to plan what you want to do, instead of changing on the fly, while dodging and shooting enemies. Save rooms show up as blue beacons if you switch them on with select. REMEMBER TO USE YOUR AUGMENTATIONS! They can't help you if you forget to use them. Your cover is terrible at the edge of walls and doorways, so hide a little farther in on the wall so that you don't get hit [just has to do with the way the game's programmed]. You can fire your icepick from REALLY far in order to hack panels, so you don't need to get really close and risk taking damage. The white arrow on your radar indicates north. ############################################################################### (E) ITEMS ############################################################################### ----------- Health Pack ----------- "Restores health, there are small and large health packs." -------------- Health Upgrade -------------- "Increases maximum health level.

###############################################################################

For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here.  Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.

I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.


For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.

If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.

My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both
dan.engel.2017 (AT) gmail (DOT) com

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
