Street Sweeper:

As the mission begins, follow the on screen instructions and take out the tanks and soldiers that approach. Switch weapons to use the mortar on the tanks and the laser on the soldiers. Head to the marked truck and blow it up to salvage the goods inside it to upgrade your weapons. When you have them, you will be directed towards the tunnels marked with red arrows to stop the flow of enemies. Destroy each tunnel opening and the enemies that exit them and you will be told of a force of ships entering at the shore. Head towards the red arrow and you will need to use your jump jets to climb up over the wall.

Use the claw to hang on to the building and to jump higher as the jets recharge. When you get to the other side, launch mortars against the tanks below and clear out the area of soldiers. When they are toast, blow up the large ship docked and you will be told to come and help Nat and foster who are stuck in the work shop. Head back up over the wall using the jets and head towards the green arrow. When you destroy the enemies there, continue on to the blue arrow marker. When you get close, a scene will play showing you a drop ship crash into a building.

Signs of Life:

After the scene, you will be told that there is a scout mech down below and that you will need to get close to it to hack it. Follow it around the buildings and try to sneak up on it. When you get close to it, press Y and you will grab on. Follow the series of button presses that appear and when you follow it enough to fill the yellow bar, the scout will stop and open. Walk around to the opening in it and climb in. Now that you have control of the mech, walk around and get used to the controls. Your next objective will be to head to the harbour and sink the ships. When you get there, you will find another mech walking around guarding them. Blast him with rockets from a distance or cannons up close until he falls.

When he does, go back and fire at the large ship it was on to destroy its large guns and to sink it. Make your way to the next green nav point and continue along until you reach the downed dropship. When you get close there will be an enemy mech there that will use a shield to block your laser shots. Use missiles against it when it is shimmering and cannons the rest of the time. Grab the power ups and shields in the area if you need them and continue to chase it around and avoid its shots until it collapses. Once that mech goes down, you will be told to help out a friendly mech that is at the drop ship. Head over to the nav point and help it destroy the last two mechs that are running around the area. After the mechs are down, you will meet a new player and the mission will end.

Tank Rush:

As the mission begins, walk yourself over to the left of the tank and press Y to enter at the opening. Once you are in control, you can switch between guns and cannon by press the left trigger as well as zoom in with the cannon with X. If you don’t get seen jumping in, follow the road to the check points and you will get scanned tog through the gate. At the second gate, a passenger scan will blow your cover. Now you will need to start kicking ass. Blow the mech and the turrets in the area and head through the gate. Continue to follow the road. The APC will be following you and they will call for help dif they start to get attacked. If they do, hurry back to help them out.

Continue along the road and then up the dirt path and destroy all the tanks, soldiers and turrets as you come across them. Shoot through the large gate as you come to it and continue through to face more tanks and enemies. Use the zoom to take out turrets long before they can hit you to stay safer. When you reach the bridge, it will collapse and some tanks will drive up the right side of the hill. Blow them and drive down the hill and up the other side. Fight off more mechs and tanks as you climb up the other side and you will come to a road will a collapsed tunnel on the right.

Continue past it to the opening to the left of it and drive down to the road there. The game will save as you reach it. Take out the tanks and turrets around the corner to the left and then to the right as the road winds around. When you make your way around, you will see the spaceport at the end and a scout mech will show up. Take it out with some heavy hits and continue to the front gate of the space port. When you are told that all the guards have been taken down, head to the green arrow nav point and hop out of the tank. Run to the control panel and use the panel there to open the door and enter.

Let’s get of This Rock:

As your teammates work on getting the Icarus up and operational, immediately hop in the mech that is waiting in front of you and start to take out the tanks and soldiers. Turn your attention to the tunnels at each end of the roadway after the majority of them have been destroyed and collapse them to stop more from entering. When those two are down, destroy the one in the center through the opening beside the panel. When all three are toast, hop out and hack the control panel. Get back in your mech after you do and head for the gate on the far side. Destroy the three tunnels there and hack the second control panel. When they are done, you will be told to secure the area. Head back to the center and some enemy mechs will enter. Take them down with you rifles and you will find something interesting in the mechs you took down. Once they are down, the next scene will play.

To the Rescue:

As you land on planet Thestria, you will start by helping out the House Kurita forces. Start taking out the enemy mechs in the area. You willl be in a light mech so watch out how much damage you take. After the first wave of enemies is toast, there will be a second to help out with. Now you will be able to activate reactive armor that will help deflect enemy shots. Work on taking out the tanks and mechs and when they scrap you will be told to help defend the bases and gather support troops. Head west and you will come to a base with surrounding enemy mechs. Take them out and head to the next nav point to find more.

Blow the snot out of everything you can find as you move from base to base in the mucky area. Once you have saved the bases, take the allied tanks you have rescued (they will just follow) to the base at the next nav point for a full scale assault. When you reach the main gate of the base, destroy the turrets in front and you will need to hop out of your mech to hack the gate terminal to open it. Do so and hop back in. Walk through the now open gate and start to go all out on the mechs that are inside. Destroy every target that is it up on your HUD and the mission will end.
