Mission: The Vitalis Machine

Brave the mechanical heart of Tertium in 'The Vitalis Machine,' a mission that tests your squad's ability to overcome complex machinery and relentless enemy assaults. This mission often features a labyrinthine network of conveyor belts, automated systems, and industrial hazards, requiring precise movement and coordinated combat. Expect to face a varied array of enemies, from agile Dreg skirmishers to heavily armored Maulers. Initial engagements will likely involve clearing out infested sections, where Poxwalkers and basic melee units will attempt to swarm your team. As you progress deeper into the machine, the mission introduces more dangerous threats, including Trappers and Gunners, who can exploit the environment to their advantage. Pay close attention to the moving parts of the machinery; some elements can crush, push, or otherwise impede your movement, while others can be used to your tactical advantage. Objective phases often involve interacting with the core components of the Vitalis Machine, which can trigger sificant enemy spawns and environmental shifts. Establish strong defensive positions, utilize cover effectively, and coordinate fire to eliminate priority targets. Characters with abilities that can control crowds or provide sustained damage output are invaluable for holding objectives during these intense phases. Communication is key to calling out enemy positions and coordinating pushes or retreats through the complex industrial landscape.
