Drill Sergeant

At the exit of the Coring Platform, use Kinesis (the ability to move objects with your mind) on the cranks on either side of the gate to release the giant drill. Avoid touching the drill as it spins around the room, as this will send you back to the previous checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).

After releasing the drill, approximately 6-8 Wasters will appear from vents. Use Stasis (a power that slows down enemies and objects) on the drill and eliminate the enemies.

Once all enemies are dead, use Stasis on the drill again and shoot the yellow fuse located on the top center inside the drill bit. The drill will lift off the ground briefly when the fuse takes enough damage. Use this time to refill your Stasis energy and loot fallen enemies for ammunition.

The drill will lower again, and 3-4 Wasters and 3-4 Slashers will emerge from vents. Use the same tactic: apply Stasis to the drill and focus on killing the enemies.

After the enemies are dead, apply Stasis to the drill once more and destroy the fuse. Loot the area while waiting for the drill to lower.

When the drill hits the ground for the final time, immediately apply Stasis and shoot the fuse. If you destroy it quickly enough, the large group of Feeders that appear will de-spawn during the ensuing cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).
