Agents, the Aspari Corporation wants to negotiate a nonaggression pact after our successful offensive against Cayman Global. We have accepted to initiate a negotiation, since this will give us easy access to their offices. The mission objective is to acquire their bio-engineered muscle tissue research.

Being in the middle of the Aspari territory, you should expect a significant military presence.

Steal Tissue Samples and Defend Dropship

Everything appears calm as your dropship lands. However, as soon as you approach the Aspari personnel, they realize that you are not here to negotiate.

Quickly clear out the enemies near the landing pad. The support player should snipe at the enemies on the upper levels that are firing down on the team.

Check out the security office next to the landing pad for ammo, a sniper rifle, and a thermite gun.

Then, as you continue around the corner, try to avoid the metal detector. Jump over the barrier to the right of the detector or you activate some enemy drones.

Clear out enemies in the hallway as you advance to the left. Keep going down some stairs and clear the large room in the lower level.

Once the room is clear, all players should grab a tissue sample. There are four down here.

As soon as you do, rush out and make your way back to the dropship to deliver the sample. You have to fight your way out because more enemies rush you as you pick up the samples.

Enemies appear on the upper levels overlooking the landing pad. As soon as they drop off their samples, the support and defensive players should engage those enemies and focus on defending the dropship.

The sergeants with COIL laser rifles are priority targets since they can cause a lot of damage.

Override Turret Control

You now face a new weapon—the electron mace. If you get hit by one, you are shocked and can’t move or fire and take damage.

Work together as a team and kill the enemies with these weapons when they have one of your team members under attack.

The offensive players need to deal with the turret. Therefore, while the other two players defend the dropship, the offensive players must rush back into the building and head up the stairs to the left of the security office.

At the top, you emerge onto another landing pad defended by a sergeant with liquid armor. Work as a team to breach his armor and kill him and then rip his chip.

Now move into the nearby office and breach the controls to override the turret so it stops firing on your dropship and team members.

Breach Security Console

Fight off more enemies that come to attack and then move into the building. Once inside, turn to the right and locate an office. Breach the controls to override the security and unlock some doors.

Steal Tissue Samples

Head up the stairs toward the area where the tissue samples are stored. However, they are defended by several enemies including an officer with a COIL laser rifle and reactive armor.

There is not a lot of cover on the top level, so lure him down the stairs as you breach his armor.

You want to get him to an area, such as the landing pad, where the two offensive players can have cover and attack him from different sides. Once he is dead, rip his chip.

Before going after the tissue samples, move out onto the landing pad on the top level and clear out the enemies who are firing down on the dropship.

As the offensive players begin to engage these hostiles, the other players should come up and join them. There are lots of enemies here and the more firepower you have, the better.

Try picking up an electron mace and using it against the enemies. While one player shocks an enemy, the other can finish them off with their regular weapon.

An enemy dropship appears and begins firing on your team. Disable its turret with a breach. Then be ready to deal with a lot of sergeants it unloads; they are armed with COIL laser rifles and electron maces.

Clear out all enemies in the facility and make sure every player has a sidearm or UMK submachine gun.

Then move into the storage rooms on the top level and steal four more tissue samples. There are two in each of the two storage rooms.

Defeat the drone that appears in each storage room once a tissue sample is taken, then as a team, rush back down the stairs and carry all of the tissue samples to the dropship.

If you have already cleared out the enemies, there should be little or no resistance. Once all four samples are on the dropship, the mission is a success.

Tips from the Testers

• This mission is mostly undertaken indoors, so a balanced close- to medium-range weapon loadout is advised.
• Hold on to your handgun or UMK—these are the only weapons that can be used while carrying the cases containing tissue samples back to the dropship.
• Cases with tissue samples can be dropped to the ground and picked up again at a later time—this might be advisable if you run into too many enemies on the way back to the dropship.
• You can still breach, heal, and reboot while carrying tissue sample cases.
• A good tactic is to keep one or two Agents at the dropship to defend it and prevent the enemy from destroying it. A destroyed dropship means the Agents are stranded and the mission has failed.
• Another valid tactic is for all four Agents to pick up tissue sample cases at the same time, this will certainly add more direct fire power when meeting opposition, however do keep an eye on the damage level of the dropship.
• Remember to use applications such as Shielding and C2C Pulse to help you get across the killing grounds and disable the turret controls.
• Agents can jump from considerable heights without taking damage. Use this to your advantage.
• Aspari Corporation has an ample supply of troops in the area and will not hesitate to reinforce the area once they realize what you are up to. Be constantly aware of new troops pouring in from adjacent buildings or lower floors of the tower.
• Running through a metal detector in full combat gear will definitely set off the alarms and activate defense systems.
