Walkthrough

1
When you first encounter Gunkers, use half of your Boomshot ammo on the first one and save the rest for the second.
2
After defeating the Gunkers and other enemies, proceed to the stranded base for a cutscene.
3
Follow the Camp Leader through the camp. Look for a brownish container after making two right turns when your guns are drawn; it contains a Boomshot. Another container in front of you after the door holds Lancer, Hammerburst, and Gnasher ammo.
4
Continue outside to a large ammo supply.
5
Past the stranded gate, more Lambent stalks, drudges, and a Gunker will spawn. Use the blue container on the right side of the area for cover against the Gunker's mortar shots.
6
After clearing the area, interact with the Garage Door.
7
Across the bridge and after a cutscene, take cover behind the barrels on the right. Two Gunkers and a drudge will spawn. Defeat them.
8
Continue past the locked gate.
9
After regaining control in the stadium, talk to fans. Lambent enemies will attack. Choose the upper path for less resistance and a high-ground advantage.
10
A Gunker will spawn under the 'South Gate' sign. If out of Boomshot ammo, use frag grenades.
11
After defeating the Gunker, go under the sign and through the gates and doors. A flashback cutscene will play.
12
You will need to carry a bomb to a Lambent stalk while avoiding drudges and using Thrashball moves. This part is difficult to fail.
13
Go up the steps, pick up the Boomshot, and enter the door for another cutscene.
14
At the top of the elevator ride, a Gunker will appear. Shoot the red barrels beside it to kill it instantly, rather than using your Boomshot.
15
During the zipline sequence, you can shoot red barrels on the right or ignore them.
16
At the end of the zipline, immediately get behind the barricade to the right as drudges and a Gunker attack. Use your Boomshot for these enemies.

Tips

Gunkers have a long-range mortar attack that throws Imulsion, dealing significant damage. It's relatively easy to avoid if you pay attention.
At close range, Gunkers have a melee attack that can down you in one hit. It's best to maintain distance.
When a Gunker dies, it causes a large explosion. Staying back will mitigate this threat.
When facing the Gunker near the 'South Gate' sign and out of Boomshot ammo, frag grenades are a viable alternative.
When the Gunker appears at the top of the elevator, use the red barrels for an instant kill instead of wasting valuable Boomshot ammo.
When attacked by drudges and a Gunker after the zipline, immediately seek cover behind the barricade to the right.
