Tips
  • Prioritize eliminating Jet Troopers when they appear, as they can snipe from a distance.
  • The Badass NOG can be a significant threat, especially if it buffs other enemies. Make it your primary target.
  • Use the cover provided in the main gate area to your advantage during the intense firefight.
  • The elevator in the base is not functional; you must proceed through the ventilation ducts.
  • Be prepared for multiple waves of enemies in the Titanium Refinery; use the radar to maintain situational awareness.
