1AU - Destiny 2 Walkthrough
The mission '1AU' is a pivotal moment in The Red War campaign, marking a significant turning point in your fight against the Red Legion. This guide will walk you through the challenging encounters, from navigating the treacherous terrain of the EDZ to facing down formidable Cabal forces. Prepare your best loadout and hone your combat skills, as this mission demands precision and resilience.
The mission begins with you and your fireteam tasked with infiltrating a heavily fortified Cabal outpost. Your primary objective is to disable their communications array, cutting off their reinforcements and paving the way for a larger assault. As you push deeper into the outpost, you'll encounter waves of Legionaries, Psions, and Centurions. Prioritize eliminating Psions first, as their psychic abilities can disorient your team and empower their allies. Keep an eye out for shielded enemies; weapons that can break shields quickly, like the Sturm or a well-placed Fusion Rifle, will be invaluable.
A key challenge in '1AU' is navigating the various defensive emplacements. Cabal turrets and snipers are strategically placed to cover key pathways. Use cover effectively, peeking out only to engage targets. Grenades can be particularly useful for flushing out enemies from cover or destroying clustered groups. As you progress, you'll need to destroy several fuel tanks that power the Cabal's operations. These are often guarded by tougher enemies, so be prepared for a fight after each detonation.
The mission culminates in a boss encounter against a powerful Cabal commander. This boss uses a combination of heavy weaponry and defensive maneuvers. The arena for this fight often features multiple levels and cover points. Your strategy should involve consistent damage output while managing the boss's attacks and any adds that spawn. Look for opportunities to exploit weak points on the boss, often indicated by glowing areas. using your Super ability during this phase can significantly shorten the fight and reduce the risk of wipes. Remember to communicate with your fireteam, calling out enemy positions and coordinating your attacks.
