Batman: Arkham Knight Guide Most Wanted Side Missions
Campaign for Disarmament
|
First Available: Chapter 3 while tracking the Arkham Knight’s vehicle Main Objective: Find and defuse all explosive devices deployed by the militia Location: Bleake Island (4), Miagani Island (6), Founders’ Island (5) Most Wanted Villain: Unknown Reward: 14 Upgrade Points, 1 per bomb defused 3 Upgrade Points for delivering Deathstroke to GCPD |
The militia begins burying bombs around the city, as Batman tracks the Arkham Knight’s vehicle in Chapter 3. Flashing beacons indicate their positions. The first explosive device must be defused as part of the story. The rest appear at different points during the campaign and can be completed at any time thereafter. Refer to the table on page 181 for when each one appears.
As Batman nears one of the explosive devices, it shows up on the map and intel is added to the Mission Select screen. When viewing the Campaign for Disarmament icon on the map, a scale on the right represents the difficulty of the militia protection. Just one marker lit up represents the easiest, while all five means very challenging. The difficulty for each device is given in the table below as Very Low, Low, Medium, High, or Extreme. These Batmobile battles become very challenging as the game progresses with bigger squads, higher variety, and more aggressive drones. Be sure to improve the vehicle as WayneTech Upgrade Points become available.
The steps for each explosive device are:
■ Upload Virus: Once one is found, fire the Power Winch and start the virus upload.
■ Defend: A squad of militia drones attacks. The selection of tanks becomes increasingly more difficulty to deal with as these bombs are defused. Use the Batmobile’s Battle Mode to clear the area of the threat. Note the number of remaining drones
■ Detonate bomb: Attach the Power Winch to the device again and rev the engine to detonate it with a controlled explosion.
Watch out that you do not stray too far away from the virus upload. A 10-second timer counts down as soon as you exit the area. Quickly re-enter the zone to continue the objective.

Deathstroke has Assumed Command of the Militia
Objective: Confront Deathstroke at Grand Avenue
Requirement: Complete Campaign for Disarmament, Occupy Gotham, and Own the Roads
Location: Miagani Island – Grand Avenue
After the Cloudburst tank is destroyed in Chapter 7, Deathstroke assumes command of the army and he must be stopped. After eliminating the militia explosive devices, watchtowers, and checkpoints, drive to Grand Avenue to take him on. Five Cobra Drones join Deathstroke as they search for the Batmobile.
Slade’s tank looks very similar to the Cloudburst Tank you took on at the end of Chapter 7. It has a 360-degree field of vision, making it nearly impossible to catch off guard. Use the same strategy that you used against the Arkham Knight. Watch the radar and avoid the big tank, while picking off the Cobra Drones. Missile Barrages are particularly useful against Cobras, allowing you to avoid the heavy tank's field of vision. Sneak up behind the weaker drones, target the exhaust port, and fire the Heavy Cannon to destroy the tanks.
Once the five Cobras have been dealt with, change your focus to Deathstroke. Confront the boss from a safe distance, reverse away from him, and bombard him with gunfire. He has three attacks, guided missiles, a direct energy shot, and rockets. Shoot down the missiles with the Vulcan Gun, while strafing back and forth to avoid his other attacks. Circles on the ground indicate incoming rockets, while the horizontal lines represent the energy attack. Avoid getting trapped by fleeing the area if things get too hairy.
Once you defeat him, Batman apprehends the villain. Drive him to GCPD to complete the side mission.
