2. Strategy for the first encounter: Hack the Avenger cannon
- ✅ The main objective is to hack the Avenger cannon in the center of the area.
- ✅ One player must remain in the center to scan the cannon until it reaches 100%.
- ✅ Enemies will appear from the corners of the map, allowing the possibility of using spawn traps.
- ⚠️ Avoid the cannon fire by moving from left to right or vice versa and seeking cover.

3. Second encounter: Extinguish the fire 🔥 and avoid the mines
- ✅ To extinguish the fire, turn the valve in one area and shoot the weak point in another to release water.
- ⚠️ On Master difficulty, there are a large number of enemies, so avoid being surrounded.
- ⚠️ Be careful with the mines; if you are hit, shoot your leg to free yourself or ask a teammate to do it.

4. Third encounter: Stabilize the furnace ⏱️ (Switches, Valves, and Molten metal)
- ✅ You will enter the furnace with a 6-minute timer on Master difficulty, but time is not the main problem.
- ✅ Assign players to eliminate the enemies that constantly appear.
- ✅ One player must go up and interact with the switch to run diagnostics.
- ✅ Turn off the power and release the pressure by interacting with five switches and valves.
- ✅ The switches have sparks and the valves have smoke. The sequence is switch, then valve, repeatedly.
- ✅ After completing the switches and valves, release the molten metal by shooting the gears and then the central weak point.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Interruptor | Look for switches with sparks. |
| Válvula | Look for valves with smoke. |
| Metal fundido | Shoot the gears and then the weak point. |
- ✅ After releasing the molten metal three times, two bosses will appear: one with an RPG and the main boss. Eliminate them to secure the area.

5. Fourth encounter: Unlock the door 🚪
- ✅ This area is similar to the normal mission, but with many more enemies on Master difficulty.
- ✅ Shoot the two weak points to unlock the door and clear the area.
05:39 - 06:35
6. Encounter with the snipers 🎯: Prioritize quick elimination
- ✅ After opening the door, eliminate the initial enemies and make sure your team is ready before activating the switch.
- ⚠️ When activating the switch, snipers will appear who can eliminate you with a single shot, even with high armor.
- ✅ Eliminate the snipers as quickly as possible. It is recommended to use an LMG.
06:36 - 08:32
7. Final boss encounter 💥: Strategic cooling and enemy control
- ✅ The final encounter can be easy or difficult depending on whether things work correctly (without bugs).
- ✅ On Master difficulty, many enemies will appear in front.
- ✅ After eliminating them, you will have a 20-second timer to cool the molten metal.
- ✅ Use the water cannons that glow green to cool the metal.
- ✅ When the boss appears, you can damage him until he catches fire, at which point you must cool him again with the green water cannons.
- ✅ Cooling the boss will stun him, allowing a player to tank with Scorpio while the others damage him.
- ⚠️ Control the enemies to avoid being killed while trying to damage the boss.
