Milestone 05: Escape from LA

Eliminate Aspari Counter Forces

The rear control system of the train has been breached by Aspari counter forces. If you want to get to your destination, you must neutralize these threats. Exit the train cab and make your way back through the cars, moving toward the rear of the train.

Open a closed door by pressing the action button repeatedly so you can enter a second passenger car. Look for a business card on one of the tables on the left side. Pick it up and add it to your collection.

Continue through another passenger car and then go through a couple of doors leading to a cargo car. Be ready for a fight since there are several enemies inside. When you open the door, have your TAR-39 set to secondary fire mode so you can launch a grenade. A single grenade can kill all of the enemies inside. Another option is to use the Suicide app. This can also kill all of the enemies due to their close proximity to each other.

Once the first cargo car is cleared, advance through the next door into another cargo car. There are several more enemies in there as well as a turret. Quickly breach the turret to override it and let it start mowing down enemies for you. Move back into the previous car and take cover until the enemies are all dead.

Push open a door to get to the rear car. The train is coming to a stop due to a remote lock down. Since you probably have a big fight on your hands to remove the lockdown, pick up the minigun in the case at the back of the car.

Disable External Controls

Aspari guards begin cutting through the side door of the car you are inside. Hold down the aim button to start rotating the minigun’s barrels. Then open fire as soon as the doors open.

Shoot all the enemies you can see, then move into the area outside of the train. Take cover behind some crates, mowing down enemies as you go.

Look for the Aspari icon on a wall toward the back of the area. Activate your DART overlay to see the hidden propaganda.

After clearing out the area, head up the stairs to the control room.

Locate the lockdown switch and press the action button to move the switch and deactivate the lockdown.

Reactivate Train and 
Reach Main Controls

Rather than heading back down the stairs and walking into the middle of an ambush, move past the controls and turn right onto a walkway. Turn to face the center of the area as lots of enemies appear and begin attacking. Activate the DART overlay to slow down the action a bit and open fire.

Keep firing as the enemies continue to appear. Take cover behind the crates if you start taking damage. You can also use the Suicide app if needed. Be sure to select a target near several others so that you get some extra kills for the effort. With all the killing here, your adrenaline quickly recharges your breach apps.

Once the enemies are all neutralized, drop down to the ground floor and head back aboard the train.

Press the action button while standing near the green light at the rear of the train to reactivate the train.

As the train starts rolling again, the platform on which you are standing rises up, taking you to the roof of the train. Several enemies are already there and need to be cleared off. Open up with the minigun to get the job done.

Watch out for more enemies to appear—this time on hoverbikes. You can either shoot at them with the minigun or breach their bikes to short-circuit the fuel cells and cause them to explode.

As you advance along the roof of the train to get to the main controls, you can use your breaching to activate external vents on the roof to the train. Once they rise up, use them as cover as you take on more waves of hoverbikes.

The hoverbikes approach from the front of the train. When you see the specks of light in the distance, get your minigun firing to try to take out one or two as they fly past. Then turn around toward the rear of the train and finish off the rest as they begin their attacks.

Eliminate Aspari Gunship

As the train emerges from the tunnel, an Aspari gunship flies over and attacks. Make sure you have raised the external vents and take cover. To stop the gunship from attacking, breach it and reroute the turret controls.

For a short time, the gunship is not able to fire at you. Therefore, open up on it with the minigun. The hull integrity meter that appears in the upper right corner of the screen shows how much damage you need to inflict on the gunship before it is shot down.

In addition to the gunship, you also have to destroy hoverbikes that fly near the gunship and fire at you. Either shoot them down or breach their fuel cells.

Eventually, the gunship flies directly over you. Get in some hits on it as you move toward the rear of the train. The gunship drops bombs during this maneuver. Quickly look at the bombs and use the breach to deactivate the bombs before they blow up on their own.

Once the first attack run is over, it all starts again. By now the gunship has regained control of its turret and is firing at you. Breach the turret again and then open fire at the gunship.

Fire at the hoverbikes along with the gunship. Keep on eye on the gunship’s turret. It recovers faster so you need to breach it again.

Since you have experienced the bombing runs before, you are now read to breach and deactivate the bombs quickly before they can damage you.

Continue hitting the gunship. It can take a lot of punishment. However, you eventually shoot it down and complete the milestone.
