Level 8: The Briar Patch

Mission Type: Annihilate

Description: Destroy all the attacking enemies as quickly as possible.

Mission Briefing: This next training area was a science complex where it seems some weird Martian plant growth went berserk. Abandoned biohazard equals new Red Faction playground. Feel free to tear things up as you annihilate the enemy vehicles hunting for blood!

Vehicle: EDF Medium Tank

This time you get to take the EDF Medium Tank on the offensive, plowing through twelve waves of enemy vehicles. For the most part, the enemy vehicles come directly to you, so you don’t have to chase after them.

Consider holding near the starting position and blasting the enemy vehicles with the tank’s Gauss cannon as they charge directly at you. But remember, always keep the tank’s front armor facing the enemy to minimize damage. And be careful when crossing the narrow bridges on the upper level.

If the tank falls off and lands upside down, the tank is destroyed, forcing you to respawn.

This mission introduces the Armor Boost pick-up. Grab this on the left side of the map as soon as it appears. This projects a force field around your vehicle, making you invincible for a limited time.

While the Armor Boost is active you don’t need to worry about keeping your front armor facing the enemy. Simply stay put and rotate the tank’s turret to blast all incoming enemy vehicles.

There are also Remote Mining Charges and Singularity Bomb pick-ups on this map, adding more firepower to your arsenal. As long as you don’t get caught up in chasing down the enemy vehicles, you should have no problem wiping out all twelve waves with time to spare, earning you a gold star.
