The Last City
Super: Not available
Grenades: Not available
Warning: Restricted Zone
After falling from a great height, your only option is to shuffle down into the ruins of the city’s canal and maneuver slowly through the wreckage as Cabal patrols lumber about above you. You’re fortunate to reunite with your Ghost before leaving the city for the wilds of the countryside.

Stumbling into the sunlight, you continue your vision: a bird of prey flies from its perch into the snow-covered crags ahead. Drop down to a remote Guardian outpost, where you can reach down and grab an SMG (Energy) from the deserted area. Deserted, that is, until you witness a pack of War Beasts bounding to your location.
The War Beasts attack in a large pack but charge you around three at a time. See if you can aim down your sights and pick off (or wound) as many beasts as you can at range (shoot their heads for optimal damage; a critical hit aiming plan you should now be very familiar with). Then, finish them with gunfire or a melee attack at closer quarters (as they only exist to charge and savage you). The first War Beast that you defeat spills out ammunition. You may want to switch to the SMG for this battle, if you’re getting overwhelmed. Stay at the outpost for the battle, as you have a good view of the incoming foes. After the battle, your first Objective begins: follow your vision across the rocky ground and up the snowy gully, as the bird circles in the distant sky.
Twilight Gap
Super: Not available
Grenades: Not available
Warning: Restricted Zone
Follow the falcon through the snowy gorge to a cliffside path, where you can witness the full horror of the Cabal attack. Continue around, heading up through a mountain pass and down into a rocky slope to a snow-lined clearing.
When you drop down, a Legionary and around 15 War Beasts appear (gradually; the beasts arrive in packs of 3-5 foes). If possible, move to the base of the central rock where the Legionary appears from, and headshot him before he can fire. That way, you aren’t dodging his attacks while thwarting the War Beasts. Then, step back and tackle the four-legged fiends with your SMG and melee swipes; keep moving! You can flee the area by running directly ahead, but it’s better to learn how to remove War Beasts as a threat and attack them with nimble maneuvers, then retreat to higher ground.
The rocky crag and gorge area you’re descending to reach the perched falcon is a little more treacherous than you might be expecting. Ensure that you cross the fallen log via the middle of it, or you can slip and fall. It’s also important to leap the gap from the lower of the two protruding rock ledges, or you won’t make the jump. Remember that you don’t currently have your Movement Mode! Once across, head to the sunlight, and make an attempt to leap another gap to reach the falcon’s perch. This is always impossible, so you fall to the clearing at the base of the gorge.
You wake up at the end of your vision: Hawthorne and her pet falcon Louis (the bird you’ve been following) welcome you to their band of resistant refugees. You’re given your first Power weapon (hold the swap button to equip it) and taken to the base of resistant operations in the European Dead Zone: the Farm.
