Tips
  • The Drudge can mutate, so focus on its glowing belly for damage.
  • When dealing with Lambent enemies on the deck, use cover effectively and aim for their weak points.
  • The extinguisher can be tricky to use; adjust your aim if the fire doesn't immediately go out.
  • Use the height advantage on the catwalk to clear enemies before descending.
