The first mission throws you directly into the brutal fighting on Makin Atoll. Your primary objective is to escape the Japanese prison camp and link up with your squad. Use the M1 Garand effectively, aiming for headshots. Stick close to Sergeant Sullivan and follow his commands. Be wary of Banzai charges; a well-timed melee attack or shotgun blast can save you. Clear the beach and prepare for the next objective.

While Call of Duty: World at War relies on scripted squad tactics for survival, Code Vein utilizes a similar cooperative AI partner system to manage overwhelming enemy aggression.
