Mission 12: Griffin

Welcome to Mission 12: Griffin. This mission introduces a new level of tactical challenge, requiring careful planning and execution. You'll be facing a mix of human and robotic enemies in a multi-level facility. Stealth and ranged combat will be your best friends here.

Squad Composition & Preparation

For this mission, a balanced squad is crucial. Consider the following:

  • Heavy Weapons Specialist: Essential for dealing with armored robots and groups of enemies. Equip them with a Rocket Launcher or a Heavy Machine Gun.
  • Sniper: Critical for eliminating distant threats and setting up ambushes. A Sniper Rifle with plenty of ammunition is a must.
  • Medic: Keep your team alive. A high First Aid skill and ample Healing Kits are vital.
  • Scout/Stealth Character: Someone with high Sneak and Lockpick skills can open up new paths and provide crucial reconnaissance. Equip them with a silenced weapon like a 9mm Pistol (Silenced) or a Hunting Rifle (Silenced).

Before deploying, ensure your squad is fully healed, has maximum ammunition for their primary weapons, and carries a good supply of Stimpaks and Explosives (Grenades, Plastic Explosives).

Walkthrough: Securing the Facility

Phase 1: Initial Infiltration and Exterior Perimeter

  1. Deployment: You'll start at the southern edge of the map. Immediately move your squad into cover.
  2. First Contact: Expect to encounter a few Raiders patrolling the immediate exterior. Use your sniper to pick them off from a distance.
  3. Northward Advance: Carefully advance north along the western side of the facility. There's a small guard post with a Turret and a couple of Raiders. Use Explosives or focused fire from your heavy weapons specialist to neutralize the turret quickly.
  4. Looting Opportunity: Check the bodies of fallen enemies for Ammunition and occasional Stimpaks. The guard post might also contain a locker with minor supplies.

Phase 2: Entering the Main Building

  1. Western Entrance: The most straightforward entry point is a door on the western side of the main building, near where you cleared the guard post. Have your scout attempt to Lockpick it. If unsuccessful, you can force it open, but be prepared for immediate resistance.
  2. Interior Patrols: Once inside, you'll find Raiders patrolling the corridors. Use stealth to ambush them or engage them in controlled firefights. Prioritize targets with automatic weapons.
  3. Finding the Control Room: Your primary objective is to reach the central control room. It's located on the second floor, accessible via a staircase in the north-central part of the ground floor.

Phase 3: The Control Room and Robot Defense

  1. Stairwell Ambush: As you ascend the staircase, be wary of a potential ambush. Often, a Sentry Bot or a few Raiders will be waiting at the top. Have your heavy weapons specialist ready.
  2. Control Room Engagement: The control room itself is heavily defended. You'll face multiple Sentry Bots and potentially a Robobrain. These robots are tough and can inflict significant damage.
  3. Robot Tactics:
    • Focus fire on one robot at a time to disable it quickly.
    • Use EMP Grenades if you have them, as they are highly effective against robots.
    • Position your squad to avoid being flanked. Use doorways and cover to your advantage.
    • The Robobrain can be particularly dangerous with its energy weapons. Prioritize it if possible.
  4. Activating the Terminal: Once the control room is clear, interact with the main computer terminal. This will disable the remaining automated defenses and open up new areas of the facility.

Phase 4: Eastern Wing and Final Objective

  1. Eastern Corridor: Head to the eastern wing of the facility. You'll likely encounter more Raiders and possibly a few lingering Protectrons or Sentry Bots that weren't affected by the control room shutdown.
  2. Griffin's Location: Griffin, your target, is located in a heavily fortified room at the far eastern end of the facility, often behind a reinforced door.
  3. Breaching Griffin's Room:
    • Use Plastic Explosives to breach the door if it's locked and too strong for Lockpick.
    • Be prepared for heavy resistance immediately upon entry. Griffin will be accompanied by several elite Raider Guards and possibly another Sentry Bot.
  4. Eliminating Griffin: Focus all available fire on Griffin. He is a formidable opponent but can be brought down with concentrated effort. Once Griffin is eliminated, the mission will conclude.

Key Items and Locations

  • Western Guard Post: Minor loot, potential Ammunition.
  • Ground Floor Lockers: Scattered throughout the ground floor, these can contain Stimpaks, RadAway, and various Ammunition types.
  • Control Room Terminal: Essential for progressing the mission.
  • Griffin's Room: Contains Griffin himself, and often some high-tier loot on his body or in nearby containers, such as advanced weapons or armor.

Tactical Tips

  • Save Frequently: This mission can be challenging. Save after every significant engagement or objective completed.
  • Use Cover: Always position your squad behind cover to reduce incoming damage.
  • Focus Fire: Concentrate your attacks on one enemy at a time to eliminate threats quickly.
  • Exploit Weaknesses: Robots are vulnerable to EMP Grenades. Humans are susceptible to headshots from snipers.
  • Manage AP: Plan your actions carefully to maximize Action Points (AP) for movement, attacks, and healing.
