Objective:Get to Skywatch
Location:Lunar Complex
Enter the Lunar Complex just as you did before, and follow the path back upstairs. The dark room is now quiet. When you reach the top, Hive Acolytes are fending off an attack by the Fallen. You can let this play out or sweep in and eliminate both sides. Dregs, Vandals, and a Captain occupy the second room. Fight through them and follow a narrow corridor until you’re back outside at the Skywatch.
Objective:Recover the Ghosts
Location:Skywatch
Fallen and Hive fight it out in this public space. Take out any Fallen you see. The Vandals drop Dead Ghosts. Once you find the one you need, continue to the opposite side of the Skywatch. Fight your way into the building on the right.
Objective:Find the Control Station
Location:Terrestrial Complex
Once inside, head right and continue into a Darkness Zone. Several Dregs and Vandals occupy the building. At the final room before you return outside, camp out at the two windows and whittle down the Fallen out there—pay close attention to the Captain on the right. Watch out for incoming grenades from the Dregs. The Control Station is just around the corner, so move around the platform’s perimeter and finish off any remaining foes. Watch for Stealth Vandals to attack as you near your destination. Backpedal as you take down each one. A Captain and a few minions wait inside. Once the area is clear, deploy your Ghost at the computer.
Objective:Secure the Array – Wave 1
Top off all of your weapons, pull out a close-combat gun, and take cover behind the computers on the left. As the array activates, a Hive ship appears outside. Be careful that you don’t get caught staring, as four darkness projectiles are fired from the turrets. A Wizard appears with a slew of Thrall. Mow them down as they rush your position, and then handle the Wizard.
Wave 2
A second ship shows up, unloading more Thrall, along with Acolytes and a Cleaver Knight. Take care of the Thrall as they come at you, then pick off the Acolytes outside. The Knight can deliver quite a bit of damage if you allow it to get too close. Try to take it out with a high-powered gun, as it can put up a wall of darkness and heal itself.
Wave 3
A third wave then drops in, consisting of more Thrall, an army of Acolytes, and a Hallowed Knight. This is a special Knight with more Vitality and a very powerful gun. Steer clear of him as you fight the smaller foes, or eliminate him quickly with your super ability and high-powered weaponry.
Objective:Return to Ghost
With the area clear of Hive, return to the computer to complete the mission. Speak to the Gunsmith at The Tower to receive your choice of a Heavy Weapon.
