Crimson Tide Weapons

Learn about the Crimson Tide mission in Pathways into Darkness. Discover enemy positions, recommended weapons like the MXM and Mk18, and valuable salvage including the SDAR and MX rifle variants.

Alright, let's talk about the 'Crimson Tide' mission. It's a bit tougher than some of the others you'll run into during the 'Survive: Maxwell' phase. You'll be heading to the coastal village of Tsoukalia, which is located at the base of a valley. Here's the rundown: * Difficulty: Medium * Location: Grid coordinates 042-026 Your Objective: The village is currently occupied by about six AAF troopers. Because of the valley's layout, you've got a great advantage. You can easily pick them off from a distance using a marksman rifle. If you've got an MXM or a Mk18, now's the perfect time to use them. Salvage Opportunities: * Explosive Charges: Keep an eye out for these. * SDAR Rifle: You can find this on the corpse of an AAF diver down on the beach. * MX Rifle Variants: Some of the dead NATO soldiers will be carrying different versions of the MX rifle. Not a ton of other loot here, but these are solid pickups. Just be aware that while you can snipe from afar, make sure you clear out all the enemies before you start looting. Good luck!
