Story Mission: The Revelator

• Prerequisites: Complete Story Mission: The Widowmaker, Resistance Rating Level 3+ (Holland Valley)
• Rewards: Medium Resistance (Holland Valley)
• Details: The cult has deployed a hell-on-wheels battering ram called the Revelator. As long as it’s on the road, it’ll own them. It must be destroyed.

MISSION Commencement

Assuming you’ve completed the prerequisites and after you achieve Level 3 Resistance against John Seed, Mary May radios in with an urgent warning regarding the battering ram on wheels the cult is employing to lay waste to the Resistance blockades (which spring up at major intersections and roads thanks to the support of the Whitetail Militia).

REGROUP with the Resistance at the Blockade

HELP the Resistance Members

Drive to the resistance blockade outside of Red’s Farm Supply. There’s debris scattered everywhere; disembark and revive the two or three Resistance fighters.

GO TO the Other Blockade

Enter a vehicle, and drive south along the dirt road to a crossroads where a more robust resistance blockade is still active. Disembark from your vehicle and begin to immediately plan for the arrival of the Revelator!

DESTROY the Revelator

The Revelator is a highly armored big-rig with a container trailer sporting reinforced sides and roof, as well as two turrets with a cult member firing a machine gun. It is almost impervious to regular gunfire and most projectiles. Feel free to quickly drop proximity mines close to the blockade but not to the detriment of damaging the truck! Then employ one of the following two plans:

• There should be a militia helicopter parked at this blockade. Pilot it and follow the Revelator, strafing it with gunfire until the back end blows off, and then shoot out the cab until the entire vehicle explodes. Be patient with your gunfire, aiming at the two enemies with machine guns first, so the Revelator can’t shoot back at you. Then fire bursts into the enemy vehicle, pausing when your chopper’s guns overheat. The heavy rounds of your helicopter’s guns soon cause the vehicle to explode.
• Or, you can launch a total of two rockets from an RPG at the vehicle as it heads toward the blockade. Fire the first at the rear container and the second at the cabin. This is usually all it takes to cripple the vehicle. If you haven’t brought an RPG with you, check the blockade defenses; there’s an RPG to pick up here.

With the Revelator destroyed, Mary May radios in her thanks, and the mission concludes.
