/Executive

Agents, the infamous Atlantic Accelerator is your next target. Initiate a full combat sweep and remove all enemy presence from the base. Expect heavy resistance and enemy Agents. Good luck.

As soon as the dropship deposits you, quickly move off of the landing pad and take cover behind some crates. Lots of enemies are already attacking you.

This fight is up close and personal, so position your offensive players and defensive player down in the crates to engage the enemies.

Shotguns or assault rifles work well here. Meanwhile the support player with a sniper rifle can pick off enemies across the bridge or up on top of the crates as well as use apps to help the other players.

If things get a bit too hairy, move into the building near the landing pad where you can stock up on ammo. There is also a weapon rack in there with a sniper rifle if you need it.

An officer in armor is positioned across the bridges on the other side of the deck.

Armed with a minigun, he engages you at long range while staying far enough away so you can’t breach his armor.

After clearing out the enemies on your side of the deck, send an offensive player to take cover next to a bridge. This lures the officer across the bridge.

As he approaches, the offensive player—or two of them—can breach his armor. Then all teammates can fire away to kill him. Once he is down, rip his chip and take the minigun.

Breach Maintenance Controls

Once the officer is neutralized, it is time to advance across the bridges to the other side of the deck. Be sure to stock up on ammo first.

Then position support and defensive players near the bridges to cover the offensive players as they rush forward. Use the DART overlay to see enemies hiding behind crates on the other side.

After the area on the other side of the deck is cleared, bring the entire team back together and continue along the walkways and down stairs until you get to the maintenance console.

Breach it to activate the gate so that you can move farther into the facility. The gate does not open until your entire team is together.

Access Catwalk

You now have to fight along a series of catwalks. Since this fighting is in close quarters, the support player should swap a handgun for a submachine gun or assault rifle—even a shotgun.

Make your way though the catwalks. You face flying drones with armor that you have to overload before you can destroy them as well as specters with cloaking armor.

Fight your way to the other side of the catwalks and head up the stairs to enter a control room with ammo and a weapon rack with a LAWS-92 inside.

Breach the controls to activate a gate and open it once the team is assembled.

Breach Rooftop Terminal

Climb up flights of stairs and follow a corridor out onto a walkway.

As the offensive players move ahead, the support should use the sniper rifle to pick off enemies in the distance—especially one with a rocket launcher.

There are lots of drones in the area where the walkway makes several turns as well as a sergeant with liquid armor.

The offensive players should take cover while they breach the drones and armor, then work together with the other players to finish off all the threats. Don’t forget to rip the sergeant’s chip.

After the walkways are clear, advance down some steps and into a corridor. Follow it around, killing hostiles and ignoring the civilians as you go.

When you reach the rooftop terminal, breach it. The gate opens when all of the team is together near the gate.

Climb up some stairs and then make your way through a maze of equipment on the rooftop. Several specters are up here, so use your DART overlay to detect them more easily.

Also, watch out for an enemy with a rocket launcher. Kill him and pick it up for some additional firepower.

Breach High Security Console

When you get to a fuel tank, breach it to release some of the fuel, then shoot at it to ignite it and blow open a gate so that you can continue.

Fight your way to a doorway and then head down a flight of stairs.

Move through a barracks into a control room and breach the security console. Once the team is back together, you can continue through the door that is now unlocked.

Access Mainframe

Follow the corridor to the end and head down some stairs. Continue to a walkway overlooking the mainframe room.

Breach the mainframe to detach the seal and then move toward the mainframe with the entire team.

Once all the team is down on the mainframe floor, quickly raise the servers because four Agents rush in to attack.

These Agents have cloaking ability, so use the DART overlay to keep them in your sights.

While the support and defensive players take cover on the edges of the mainframe room, the offensive players can move in with shotguns or other weapons to engage the Agents up close and keep them occupied.

This allows the players on the edges to both attack the Agents as well as support the offensive players with apps such as Squad Heal or Shielding.

Once all the Agents and other enemies have been defeated, the mission is complete.

Tips from the Testers

• It is not advisable to push forward too fast. Establishing the incursion on the Atlantic Accelerator is one of these scenarios. It might be best to hang back and deal with opposition from a distance, rather than rush across the bridges to their landing pads and get overwhelmed.
• Picking up the minigun is always a good strategy.
• DART overlay is very useful in the crawl spaces that make up the underbelly of the Atlantic Accelerator.
