Mech Shopping:

For this mission you will be on a robbery mission. Jump in your battle suit and hop up to the VTOL above you. Grab on to it and it will take you to the west side of the enemy base. Detach when you reach it and drop into the enemy base. Once you enter it, grab onto a mech and hack it to knock it down. Hop in it and walk or preferably jump jet your way back to the Icarus by following the green marker. Once you return it to your base, hop back in a battle suit and climb on the VTOL to go grab another one. Land in the east side of the base this time and take out any tanks in your way with the suit mortar and head for a mech.

Hack it and hop in it and run your ass out of the area to the south through the opening. Head through the swampy area and keep going to the geen arrow that will be at the Icarus. Hop back in the battlesuit and on to the VTOL to get back in the base again. After you have stolen three mechs and you return to the Icarus, the enemies aren’t too happy that you stole their mechs and they come to get them back. Fight off the attack with some help from Foster. After a little while into the battle Nat will fly in with the VTOL and drop off some supplies for you to get restocked on. Grab them and finish off the remaining enemies. Once they are finished off, a scene will play.

Go Time on Thestria:

Hop in the Mad Dog mech left for you and you will need to work your way south to find the battle field to help the Kuritans. Kill any tanks or mechs you come across along the way. There really won’t be many mechs and will mostly be tanks and choppers. When you get far enough along, head west and the green nav point will appear and lead you to the Kuritans. Hook up with them and you will have a group of mechs to help you out in the next battle. Natalia will drop supplies during the battle so be sure to grab them if need be. After the first wave of enemies is taken down, another will approach to take you and your pals on. Fight them as well and then the third wave will arrive. You will be told that the battle leader will be in this group. Now you will have two heavy assault Mechs to deal with as well as a fleet of choppers. Take out the choppers as quickly as possible and then work on the two mechs. Keep moving and keep firing and they will eventually fall.

Swamp Rock:

Move forward in your battle suit and you will be told that you will need to find a mech to crawl into if you want to survive. Head into the battle field through the water and there will be a Thor mech on the far side. Hack into it and climb aboard. Start your way west across the field and take down the choppers that appear. After a little jog, you will be told that the missile launch positions have been found and you need to take them out. Follow the red dots on the map to find them and take them out. When you attack them, they will send out defensive mechs to slow you down.

Take them out and move to the next missile site. More mechs will appear as you take out more missile silos so be sure to grab any and all supplies as you find them. Head towards the red marker when they are down to find the third missile platform and destroy it. Grab the supplies there and walk to the north a steps to find the last set of missiles. The Icarus will land and you will need to make your way to it. Kill all the patrols along the way, including the heavy mechs like yourself, to keep the area safe. When you get back to the Icarus, you can either use the over powered Mad Dog or you can stick with the Thor. Pick which you want to use and head for the enemy base.

You will run into some more mechs and tanks along the way but nothing that an experienced mech warrior like your self can’t handle. You will come to two red markers one leading left and one right. If you took the Thor, go right and jump over the hill. If not, go left around it. Take out the rush of enemies that will appear around the corner. As you get closer to the base, you will be told to get in it and destroy everything that is marked on your HUD. Fight off the enemies that approach as you near the red marker. Kill everything that is marked down and the mission will end.

Eight Feet Under:

As the mission scene ends. You will be told to recon the area to find the location of the incoming readings. Follow the green nav points forward and a scene will play with a very large mech. As the spider like bot enters the area, back up from it as it charges. If you are in the Thor, then you can jump jet over the spider bot as it charges to avoid it. If you are in the Mad Dog then you will need to keep back tracking until it stops and slams it’s claws down. When it does that, run around to the side of it and start firing everything you have at it’s legs. Continue to stay away from it and stay to the side of it to avoid its legs as well as it’s plasma cannon. The VTOL will enter the area and drop off supplies for you to help keep you in the battle. Once you have blown off enough of the spiders legs, the rest of the spider will blow and you will get its datacore. Watch the next scene and you will be back in battle on the planet Northwind.

Into the Valley of Death:

Blow up the bunkers to the left and grab the weapon supplies in them to upgrade you r weapons. After they are toast, torch the Mad Cats that flies into the area as well as any tanks that appear as well. Head up the hill after it is toast and head left. Cross the crater to come to another Mad Cat as well as a few more tanks. Continue up the slope and through the opening to the camp while you take out the turrets. Now you will need to cross the canyon and locate the city. Continue to follow the green nav points through the canyon and fight off another rush of tanks and another Mad Cat. Once you clear your way through them, there will be three scout mechs that come out to play at once. Take them all out and you will be told to free the civilians in the city. Continue along the path you were taking and go through the open doorway at the top of the slope. As you go through, you will be told to get ready for a city fight and a short scene will play to end the mission.

There’s Gonna be a Jailbreak:

As this mission begins, you are looking pretty naked without your mech. You will need to grab some demo charges from the nearby munitions depot and set them up. The enemies here are pretty dense and can only see you if you are directly in front of them. Make your way to the control panel to the right and hack it to get the charges. Once you have them, run back to the left and around the other side of the large tower where the mech is stomping around. When it is turned around, pull the right trigger to set the charge and run away. When you are clear, pull the trigger again to set off the charge. After the tower is blown and you are assumingly still alive, run down the dirt road towards the green arrow to find you mech waiting for you.

Hop in it and continue down the road until you reach the cities. There will be one to the right and one straight across on the other side of the bridge. Go to the right first and knock out the towers located by red arrows. When they are toast, head across the bridge to the next city and repeat the same process. When those four or so towers are toast and you aren’t being hassled any longer, follow the green arrow through the rear of the city to the path that leads to the right around the large building. Follow it along and take out the tanks along the way and you will come to a small opening at the end. Hop out of your mech there and enter the city on foot. Now you will need to run around the city here and plant more demo charges on generators marked out by red arrows. The same rules apply here for being caught as well as setting the charges.
