Walkthrough

1
Exit the initial area and head up the stairs to your left. Turn left at the top to find Cog Tag CT3.
2
Engage the enemies. A good strategy is to take cover behind the small wall to the right of the door leading outside and pick them off.
3
After clearing the enemies, head north. A Raiven will fly over and land, causing a gate to fall. A cutscene will play, completing Chapter 1 of Act 1. If playing co-op, you should unlock the Dom-Curious Achievement.
4
After the cutscene for 'Trial by Fire,' take cover behind the sandbags. The chopper should handle the initial wave of Locusts.
5
Head up the stairs and through the door into the next open area. Take cover behind the second broken wall you see.
6
Eliminate the appearing enemies. If any get close, use the chainsaw.
7
After killing all enemies, hop over the short walls to find Cog Tag CT4 in a small courtyard.
8
Proceed up the next set of steps. A short, unskippable cutscene will play.
9
Your teammates will instruct you to flank the Grubs. Take cover behind the first pillar to the left of the small wall where your teammates might hide.
10
Advance to the next pillar and eliminate any Grubs. Use pillars for cover if enemies advance.
11
An Emergence Hole will appear. If playing on Casual, you can try to plug it with a grenade. On Hardcore, it's often easier to pick off enemies from a distance with a Lancer. If struggling, fall back and let enemies come to you, or attempt to plug the hole.
12
After clearing the Locusts, head left of the Emergence Hole to a collapsed pillar. Behind it is a box, and to its left is an opening.
13
Use the small wall directly above this opening as cover. Shoot enemies from afar, and use the chainsaw if they get close or attempt to flank.
14
Head directly north to a bridge. At a broken segment, press Y to see Cog bodies.
15
Wait for Kim to open the door ahead.
16
Inside, hide behind the first small, diagonal wall. Shoot enemies, who often hide behind pillars.
17
When an Emergence Hole appears, run to it (a statue above it may collapse) and plug it quickly, then return to cover.
18
After eliminating all enemies, head north from the first Emergence Hole, around a pillar.
19
Hide behind the short wall or one of the two pillars behind you to plug the next Emergence Hole and take out any remaining Locusts.

Tips

Ammo boxes are usually in plain sight; pick them up when needed. Previous areas may become inaccessible, so grab ammo before proceeding.
On Insane difficulty, enemies have more HP and you have less. Keep your head down and play cautiously.
The chainsaw is a powerful tool for close-quarters combat and dealing with flanking enemies.
Plugging Emergence Holes can prevent reinforcements but can be risky. Assess the situation before attempting it.
If you find yourself overwhelmed, falling back to a more defensible position is often a viable strategy.
