Mission 3 from the DYN Campaign is one of the most enjoyable missions I’ve played in Tempest Rising. It revolves around defending your base for as long as you can while trying to finish a few secondary objectives.
Things can get a little chaotic at times, but nothing too challenging if you know your stuff. Here’s how to finish the Redirect Missions, along with all the secondary objectives in Tempest Rising’s Dyn campaign mission 3.
How to Finish the Redirection Mission in Tempest Rising – 100% Completion
Main Objectives:
- Escort the Spy to the Research Center
- Prepare for Incoming Assault
- Defend the Research Center
Secondary Objectives:
- Destroy GDF Vehicle Base
- Destroy GDF Infantry Base
- Destroy GDF Air Base
Deliver the Spy to the Dynasty Research Center
First things first: move straight to the Dynasty Research Center and prepare your base. Unload the spy from the Riot Van near the command center and prepare for an incoming assault in 3 minutes. Attacks will come from all three sides: north, southwest, and southeast.
These are small attacks, so even a couple of infantry units and tanks could handle them. If you have a specific rally spot in your base for your production buildings, you can change it to the center of your base so your units fight together when an attack comes.
Defend the Research Center
Next, you’ll need to defend the research center for 17 minutes until the transfer is complete. That is a long time, so focus on your economy first. Use your Salvage Vans to minimize losses because resources are limited. You’ll have a Tempest Rig mining already in the south, and you’ll also have an unused Tempest Rig ready to move.
Build another Tempest Rig. Move those two Tempest Rigs north and harvest the resources. Once you have three harvesting bases, you can sustain your Machine Shop and Barracks training at all times. You can even add extra production buildings if needed.
Once the defending starts, you’ll get your first secondary objective: destroy the Barracks. Before taking on these secondary objectives, I must reiterate: build your economy and army first.
Try to get an army size of 50-60 to decimate enemy checkpoints and bases completely. If you try to move out little by little, you’ll lose your troops and overall just be inefficient—unless you micromanage their movements.
You can turn the auto-attack onto the everything setting so that your units also attack the secondary objectives in the area.
At 10:10, you must destroy the two Air Buildings on the north side, near your base. At the 13:30 minute mark, you’ll need to destroy the four Vehicle Bays—two on the southwest and another two on the northeast corner of the map.
If you were able to expand with your Tempest Rigs quickly, you should have an army size of 130-160 at around 10 minutes. Split your army into two groups and clear two areas simultaneously. This will give you more time to destroy the secondary objectives and also keep the attacks on your base at bay.
You don’t have to keep your base fully protected. If you produce troops nonstop, your base will always be safe with those units around.
Make sure you have finished all the secondary objectives before the last two minutes. There’s a final attack when you have two minutes left that comes from the north and south sides.
These attacks are quite large compared to before, so you must be ready. It’s a great idea to use Mine Drops on chokepoints near your base, especially if you don’t have a decent army size at this point.
If you barely have any units left, you can stick to your base and fight with your static defenses. Bait the enemies to shoot your turrets and start repairing them during the battle. After dealing with the attack, the mission should finish once the timer runs out.
When you’re ready to move on, here’s our full walkthrough for mission 4 of the Dynasty campaign.
