Drainage Channel

While advancing toward Major Anderson’s rendezvous point, you come across a Titan battle in progress. Rush down to the drainage channel and assist the Militia Titans, who appear to be outnumbered. There’s a mix of Brute and Tone enemy Titans in this fight. Keep your distance and open fire with the Expedition Loadout’s X0-16 and Multi-Target Missile System. As the enemy Titans focus on BT, be ready to use the Vortex Shield to catch and redirect incoming Ordnance. Try catching a barrage from a Brute’s Quad Rocket, then send it back at the shooter.

The enemy Tone Titans are armed with powerful 40mm Tracker Cannons. Dash laterally or use the Vortex Shield to avoid taking direct hits from this bad boy. The Tone Titans can also deploy a Particle Wall—a force field that blocks all incoming shots. While the Particle Wall can be destroyed with successive hits, it’s best to flank the force field. If you can’t flank, seek cover until the Particle Wall has been depleted. Otherwise the Tone behind the Particle Wall can continually attack without fear of taking damage.

With each hit you score on an enemy, you charge BT’s Core. Once charged, a Titan can unleash the power of its Core to initiate a devastating attack. The Core’s ability differs based on your current Titan loadout. The Expedition Loadout features Burst Core, allowing the X0-16 to fire a stream of amped bullets. While Burst Core is active, the X0-16 fires for approximately seven seconds, with no need to reload. Wait for the right moment to unleash Burst Core on an enemy Titan. For best results, single out a Titan with full health—one activation of Burst Core is enough to tear it apart. While Burst Core is active, keep the X0-16 trained on your target, continually tracking its movements as it tries to escape.
