Reaching the data core will trigger a lockdown and heavy enemy reinforcements. Prepare for a sustained firefight. Position yourself strategically near the data terminal, ensuring you have good cover and clear lines of sight to incoming enemies. Utilize any turrets or heavy weapons found in the area. This is a good time to deploy any remaining lethal grenades to clear out choke points.

While the data is being retrieved, you'll need to defend the terminal. Waves of SDF infantry, including armored units, will attempt to breach your position. Focus fire on the most immediate threats and communicate with your squadmates. Once the data transfer is complete, you'll need to fight your way to an extraction point. The path will be just as dangerous as the infiltration. Stay vigilant, conserve ammo, and use your boost jumps and slides to navigate the environment quickly and efficiently to reach your Jackal for extraction.
