Mission Objectives

• NEW MOMBASA Search Kikowani Station for ODST squadmate

Choke Point 1: NMPD Plaza to Covered Plaza (Revisited)

After inspecting the broken Sniper Rifle, you have but moments to react to an incoming Phantom, which usually deposits a group of Jackals and Jump-Pack Brutes into the NMPD Plaza [1A]. Use your best sniping weapon to deal with these airborne menaces, and use your favored Jackal-culling equipment before returning to your Mongoose and heading east out of this plaza. There’s a road to the north and west, but these are blocked. The road to the south leads away from where you should be headed, so ignore that unless you’re off to locate more COMM Terminals or you’re playing through Rookie’s missions out of order.

Immediately east of the NMPD plaza, you can elect to turn left (northeast) or right (southeast). The left route takes you east along a narrow road, with a gate to a western road in District 0 [2C] and a possible Covenant patrol. Head right to return to the Stepped Plaza, and continue around to a junction, where a Covenant patrol is likely (this could include Brute Stalkers, so be sure your VISR Enhanced Vision is active). Head north at the junction, driving around to the Covered Plaza (where you began the Kizingo Boulevard mission by locating a Scorpion) and the cache here. The cache contains Set 1 equipment and opens when you’ve found eight COMM Terminals. This area [1B] is guarded by Brutes and Brute Stalkers, so remain alert. Cross the western side of the Covered Plaza. Both routes meet up, allowing you to drive north up a ramped road, past an overturned truck [1C]. This road leads to a gate you must open, accessing District 0 at the very northern edge of New Mombasa city.

Choke Point 2: Optican Roundabout and Exit Roads

This is likely to be an unexplored area, so press north into a new plaza [2A] with an Optican Kiosk in the middle of it. Grab the Health Packs you need. There’s also a weapons cache that opens after you’ve found 16 COMM Terminals and contains Set 3 equipment. The plaza is quiet, except for a small Brute and Grunt patrol near or on the steps leading to the inaccessible WST Building to the northeast [2B]. Beat down these opponents (those Grunts can be suicidal, so long-range sniping is a good option) before tooling up at the cache if it’s accessible. Drive out of the plaza via the northern or western road.

The road to the west [2C] is a sniper’s alley; check your in-game NAV to locate Jackals on the rooftops. There are two or three to tackle, and there’s a Covenant patrol as you round the corner, with Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts to dispose of. Move to the junction and optionally take the road heading south to a gate leading back into District 3. Or, continue north, around to Kikowani Plaza [3A].

Choke Point 3: Kikowani Plaza and Bus Terminal

Accessed easily via the western route from the Optican Plaza or from the western gate in District 3, the plaza [3A] has a building interior entrance that leads up to a balcony [3B]. This offers excellent sniping views across the central concrete planters and pedestrian area, where there’s likely to be Covenant activity. You can exit down some steps and gather a few Grenades along the way, too. Return to your Mongoose and fend off an attack [3C] by Jackals, Grunts, Brutes, and Brute Stalkers. There are also Jackal Snipers on rooftops in this area. From here, you can exit to the north and go directly to your goal, the Bus Terminal, or you can head east.

If you go east, or travel north from the Optican Plaza, you access a ramped road winding through a covered part of the map, partially obscured on your NAV Menu. Drive into a small plaza (known as “Brutal Plaza” during Mission 07), and expect a Jackal Sniper confrontation [3D]. The road winds around to the Bus Terminal [3D]. The Bus Terminal is eerily quiet, unless you head away from this area and then return again, in which case expect a Covenant patrol nearby. Use your NAV to locate the pulsing beacon icon, driving to the sidewalk entrance to inspect a Bio-Foam Canister [3E]—the next clue in your investigative assault on New Mombasa’s streets.
