The 'Larceny' mission introduces a different pace to the Red War campaign, emphasizing stealth and precision over brute force. As you infiltrate a heavily guarded Cabal installation, you'll need to avoid detection, neutralize key targets, and escape with vital intelligence. This walkthrough provides the strategies and insights needed to succeed in this unique mission.

Mission Overview and Objectives

The 'Larceny' mission typically involves infiltrating a Cabal facility, gathering specific intel or items, and then exfiltrating without raising a full alarm. Success hinges on careful movement, using cover, and picking your engagements wisely.

Infiltrate the Cabal Outpost: Your initial objective is to breach the perimeter of a Cabal outpost. This often requires finding a less guarded entry point or disabling initial security measures. Expect patrols of Legionaries and Phalanxes.
Stealth and Evasion: The core of this mission is avoiding detection. use cover, move slowly, and observe patrol patterns. If detected, you may need to quickly eliminate the alerted enemies before reinforcements arrive.
Gathering Intel/Items: You'll be tasked with locating and acquiring specific pieces of intel or items within the facility. These are often found in guarded rooms or on specific Cabal officers.
Neutralize Key Targets: Sometimes, you'll need to eliminate specific Cabal commanders or technicians who are guarding the objective or possess the intel you need. Prioritize these targets when the opportunity arises.
Exfiltration: Once you have secured the objective, you must make your way back to the extraction point. This phase can be more challenging as the Cabal may be on higher alert.

Cabal Enemy Types and Tactics (Stealth Focus)

Cabal Legionaries: Standard infantry. When detected, they will engage aggressively. Try to pick them off from a distance or with silent melee attacks if possible.
Cabal Phalanxes: Shielded units. Their shields can be problematic for stealth. If detected, aim for their exposed legs or use abilities that bypass shields.
Cabal Psions: These units can be a major problem if they detect you, as they can alert nearby patrols. Prioritize eliminating them from a distance if possible.
Cabal Centurions: Heavily armored. If detected, they are a significant threat. Try to avoid engaging them directly unless necessary.

Recommended Loadouts

Primary: Sidearms or Hand Cannons can be useful for quick, precise shots. Scout Rifles can also be good for picking off enemies from a distance.
Special: Shotguns are excellent for close-quarters eliminations if detected. Sniper Rifles are ideal for picking off distant targets without raising alarms.
Heavy: While less emphasized in stealth, a Rocket Launcher or Machine Gun can be useful for quickly clearing out a room if stealth fails.
Exotics: Weapons like Graviton Lance (with its void explosions) or Polaris Lance (for sustained precision damage) can be effective. Consider silenced weapon mods if available.

Tips for Success

Patience is Key: Rushing will lead to detection. Take your time, observe patrol routes, and wait for the right moment.
use Cover: Always stay in cover and use it to break line of sight.
Listen to Audio Cues: Enemy dialogue can often indicate their awareness level or patrol movements.
Know When to Fight and When to Run: If detected, assess the situation. Sometimes a quick elimination is best; other times, it's better to disengage and re-establish stealth.
