MISSION 1
The Freeway
When the mission first begins, move forward across the freeway and read the information regarding the designated route that will lead you to the next objective or the next target that needs to be destroyed.
Practice the mech’s various combat and movement controls, such as firing your arm cannon or using the jetpack for sprinting maneuvers, then continue down the road ahead and receive your first on-screen objective: Crush the Resistance.
Make your way around the corner and approach a squad of enemy vehicles for the first time, then use the jetpack to launch yourself repeatedly from side to side and dodge the incoming missiles.
Position your large crosshairs over the source of the incoming projectiles and keep it steady, then use the cannon attached to the mechs arm to destroy the patrol of enemies blocking the road and continue forward until you reach the broken edge of the freeway.
Use the jetpack to launch the mech across the gap and land atop the broken section of asphalt on the opposite side, then make your way to the top of the incline and continue forward to clear out the next group of enemies.
After clearing the road, continue forward at heightened speeds by launching yourself forward with the jetpack and stop at the next enemy patrol you encounter to eliminate their presence from both sides of the road.
Continue forward and target the Gun Battery on the rooftop in the distance to your left, then use missiles to destroy this threat and turn your weapons back down the road ahead to eliminate a larger robotic opponent occupying the median.
Take out the small cluster of opponents around the next corner and aim the mech’s weapon sights upwards while continuing forward , then shoot down the helicopter that suddenly rises into the air front of you with missiles.
Wait to allow another helicopter to ascend and destroy this one as well, then use the jetpack to cross the long gap in the freeway ahead and land on the other side.
Fight your way forward and keep your mech positioned against the rightmost concrete wall, then use the jetpack to launch the mech off the broken end of the freeway ahead and land in the street area below on your right.
Make your way up the cut street and doge the attacks of the next enemy ahead by sidestepping them with the jetpack, then destroy this opponent with well placed missile strikes and continue forward.
Stop when you reach the last available street on the right and destroy the transport plane hovering ahead in the near distance, then make your way down that same street beside you and use the jetpack to bulldoze forward through the various obstacles in the road.
Use missiles to destroy the larger enemy waiting for you in the next intersection ahead and make a left at this crossing, then turn around and eliminate the next few enemies that come around the corner.
Return to the intersection to make a left and open fire on the enemies in the distance before they can respond, then continue forward and launch a missile into the rock formation above to bring it down crashing to the ground.
Fight your way forward to the next intersection and activate a cutscene in which you encounter the Leader to complete this part of the mission.
Return to the Main Walkthrough Page
The Leader
After the cut scene, back up down the current main road and keep the crosshairs trained directly ahead until you reach the second street to the right.
Wait for the Leader to come into view during his approach on your current location, then begin inflicting damage with a storm of gun and missile fire directed towards the enemy mech’s body.
If the enemy manages to fire off a missile strike, use your machine gun to shoot the rockets out of the air before they make contact.
Before the Leader is within distance for a powerful close-range attack, use the jetpack to launch yourself down the street to the right and around the next corner to move across an open urban area.
Turn around to bombard the Leader with another long-distance assault, after the enemy comes racing around the previous corner in current pursuit of your mech, then continue inflicting damage until a cut scene activates in which the AC withdraws from the fight.
Aim the crosshairs straight up and shoot down any helicopters that happen fly by at this moment, then enter scan mode to re-discover the next objective’s designated route and make your way towards it.
Should you encounter enemy tanks during this part of the journey, move in a circle around them to stay ahead of the cannon and fire charged blasts into the vehicle’s rear to destroy it.
Follow the indicated route as it appears to navigate your way through a series of city streets and bad neighborhoods until you reach a helipad located beside a bridge.
Destroy any helicopters that may currently be using this nearby landing zone and continue entering scan mode every so often to stay consistently along the indicated route until you have defeated the second tank enemy encountered.
Follow the route beneath the next bridge ahead and turn right when you’re on the other side, then destroy the airplane transport in the distance and turn around to enter scan mode ahead.
Move back under the previous bridge and remain beneath the structure as you move along the indicated route, then continue following the bridge around until you see the helipad behind a fence on the left.
Jump onto the unoccupied helipad and press the indicated button to enter the garage and complete this part of the mission.
Return to the Main Walkthrough Page
The Sewers
Use scan mode to locate the next direction of the indicated route and follow it away from the helipad and back beneath the bridge you traveled under earlier.
Follow the bridge back around until you see a tank waiting at an intersection in the distance, then approach this vehicle to destroy it and enter scan mode to ensure that you continue along the designated route.
Take out the larger enemies that stand in your way with missile attacks and side-to-side evasive maneuvering, then follow the route’s path across a bridge to destroy the tanks on the other side and shutdown the helicopter that fly by above.
Move forward up the street to approach a larger than average opponent located on the road behind the next intersection ahead.
Position yourself in the middle of this intersection and launch some well-aimed missiles into the enemy mech’s body until visible damage has been caused or a barrage of homing rockets are fired towards you.
As the large enemy mech continues to approach and opes fire with projectile attacks of his own, launch your mech sideways to take cover behind one of the buildings on either side of the street entrance in front of you.
Stay off to the side and out of the large enemy mech’s sight until the counter-attack has temporarily died down, then move back out into the intersection and unload a few charged projectiles into the your opponent’s vehicle for further damage infliction.
You can stand out in the open intersection for as long as you want to line up the next shot for accuracy or to unload as many rounds as possible in a short period. However once the enemy launches a counter-strike, you will need to retreat back behind one of the buildings beside you.
Continue sliding back and forth across the entrance to the street currently being occupied by the Leader, then fire a swarm of missiles strikes up the road in question to inflict further damage upon the enemy mech and repeat this tactic until the boss explodes.
Make your way forward up the street that was just previously guarded by the Leader and enter the next open subway tunnel ahead on the right, then continue down the tunnel until your mech drops through a hole in the floor.
Enter scan mode to follow the designated route ahead until your mech falls through another hole in the floor, then continue forward along the pipeline to reach an enormous and rounded open area.
Drop into the water at the bottom level of this chamber and approach one of the surrounding walls with a narrow and broken ledge sticking out from it above.
Jump onto what’s left of this inclined walkway and use it to enter the next tunnel above on the right, then move through it to reach another rounded chamber and make a right up the ledge just outside of the open doorway.
Make your way around the narrow incline to turn right into the tunnel you find at the top, then repeat this strategy to scale two more of large rounded rooms located within the sewers.
After climbing to the top of the third rounded room, make your way forward to pass the open tunnel on the right and move into the next area ahead to complete the mission.

Use the jetpack to blast across the freeway at a quicker pace and eliminate the first two security drones that eject straight up into the air with your missile launcher, then smash through the next wall ahead and continue forward.
Open fire on the ground units to clear the road ahead and continue forward, then target the enemies flying in a circle around you and blow them out of the sky when they come to a momentary stop.
Continue fighting your way around the next corner and through the wall ahead, then destroy the enemy mech with a missile strike by taking cover behind the stacks of crates beside you.
Destroy the wave of ground units in the distance ahead with missile strikes and continue forward, then shoot down the enemy aircraft and the other surveillance droid as they rise in front of you at the next corner.
Continue following the freeway to clear out the tanks ahead and smash through another wall, then travel forward along the designated route and open fire the enemy mech that ambushes you from the right.
Take cover behind one of crate stacks and shoot down the surveillance droids that eject into the air above the enemy mech, then circle around the outer edge of the shipping yard and continue clearing the area of the attack planes that have arrived.
Destroy the AC unit with a volley of missile strikes and back away from the enemy before it self destructs to activate a cut scene in which re-enforcements are deployed onto the city rooftops.
Follow the designated route out of the shipping yard to enter the city streets and fire the jetpack to launch yourself on top of one of the nearby rooftops, then look for sweeping red lasers to locate the enemy re-enforcements and use the surrounding buildings was cover to approach them safely.
Make your way to the base of a building currently being occupied by an enemy re-enforcement and fire at it from below with missile strikes to eventually destroy this sniping opponent.
Repeat this pattern of attack as you move across the city to safely locate and destroy the enemy re-enforcements perched atop the surrounding rooftops.
Use the jetpack to either reach enemy locations more quickly or to escape into the maze of city streets if you are ambushed by the AC mechs.
When attacking the enemies that patrol the streets, launch your assault from one of the rooftops surrounding it’s current position to fire down upon the mech under safe cover.
Continue shooting the surveillance droids down as they eject straight up into the air and clearing out the enemy re-enforcements until a cut scene activates in which your designated route is changed to complete this part of the mission.

The Tunnel
Destroy the bigger and stronger ACs that are now guarding the city by retreating from them down long straight-aways, then fire at them while moving backwards with missile volleys to cause damage from a safe distance.
Use scan mode after each battle with an AC to continue following the designated route out of the city until you drop onto a bridge lined with railroad tracks, then move towards the next wave of enemies to approach the tunnel entrance.
As you follow the railroad tracks forward across the bridge, defeat the AC units you encounter by using the jetpack to circle around them at high speeds and fire continuously with missiles or machine gun rounds.
Clear away enemies guarding sections of the designated route in the distance by firing a series of missile strikes in their direction while continuing to move forward, then launch yourself on top of the surrounding walls on either side of you to destroy the snipers at close range.
Drop back onto the train tracks after eliminating the first pair of snipers and continue forward along the designated path, then use the jetpack to launch yourself into the tunnel entrance ahead at high speeds.
Stay on the center pathway as you move forward through the tunnel until an armored train appears ahead, then slide over onto the leftmost set of tracks to enter pursuit of this vehicle.
Use the jetpack to keep up with the moving train in front of you, then target the transport and unload a volley of missiles or a burst of machine gun fire into its rear car whenever possible.
Skid back and forth across the tunnel to evade the oncoming projectiles fired from the train, then continue shooting the armored vehicle until it comes to a stop and move in for a closer range attack.
Assault the stalled-out train from a near distance with your most powerful weapon until the transport begins moving again, then use the jetpack to quickly regain pursuit.
Continue attacking the train without losing sight of it until the armored transport is finally destroyed, then move forward through the wreckage until a cut scene activates in which the police ACs arrive on the scene.
Turn around to target the approaching police ACs and launch yourself backwards to avoid an initial ambush, then fight off the enemy mechs as they appear with sweeping sprays of machine gun fire.
Use the columns and doorways that pass in front of you as of cover while fending off the oncoming police ACs.
Wait for one of the ACs to blast towards your current position at high speeds, then dodge this charging enemy by launching your mech sideways and begin opening fire on him with close-range missile strikes.
Destroy the first enemy mech that charged towards you before one of his teammates can arrive to help, then continue retreating down the tunnel to repeat the previous assault on the remaining ACs.
Defeat all of the police ACs, then continue pursuing the armored train by blasting forward through the tunnel until a cut scene activates to complete the mission.

Enter scan mode to find the route leading to the Police Captain’s current location and activate the mech’s jetpack to ascend into the air.
While flying over the ocean and through the city streets ahead, hold down the boost trigger to approach the indicated target at both a high speed and high altitude.
Ascend above the city rooftops to locate the area below in which the designated route comes to an end, then continue forward to fly past it and approach the bridge area ahead.
Once you have a visual on the Police Captain currently crossing the bridge below, hover almost directly above the enemy mech and begin opening fire with various weaponry.
When the Police Captain’s mech has almost reached the other side of the bridge, drop back to the pavement below and land directly behind the enemy to deploy powerful close-range strikes.
Chase the Police Captain’s mech back along the designated route and fire upon him relentlessly until a cut scene activates in which the Police Chief now arrives on the scene to cause trouble.
Follow your teammate along the newly designate path ahead and use the jetpack to ascend into the air before boosting forward across the water.
Continue along the indicated route behind the other mech to reach an obstacle course comprised of marine facility platforms and the exploding vats that sit on top of them.
Navigate through the course in front of you by keeping an eye on the vats blocking the path ahead and waiting for the explosive ones to begin blinking, then boost forward to pass it by before the blast can occur.
Repeat the aforementioned evasive tactic to safely steer through the field of marine platforms and exploding vats until you can land on the oil tanker at the end to complete the mission.

MISSION 7
Tower Explosives
Once the mech is active, enter scan mode to locate the designated route and move forward to begin following it towards the bend in the road ahead.
Use the mech’s jetpack to ascend past the next turn in front of you and land on the rooftops above, then move right alongside the indicated path below and take out the sniper perched on the ledge ahead.
Launch yourself across the wide gap between the rooftops ahead and continue firing upon the surrounding enemies until a cut scene activates in which you discover the explosives by the tower.
Shoot down the enemy drones circling above you by discharging a continuous spray of automatic gunfire, then ascend onto the rooftops or sections offreeway above and target the origins of the red laser beams to pick off snipers.
Transfer continuously between the freeway and rooftops as you move across this area to approach the sources of the red targeting lasers without taking damage.
When you make visual contact with a sniper drone, either launch missiles down upon it from an elevated location or drop in right beside the enemy and unload automatic gunfire into him at point blank range.
As you move across this area and eliminate any remaining snipers, keep a fair distance from the tower’s explosives area while passing by to avoid being fired upon by countless turret guns.
Make your way around the rooftops surrounding the freeway below, follow each of the red laser beams back to its source and destroy the snipers until there are none left in this area.
Drop down to street level and follow the designated route towards the tower’s explosives, then begin mowing through the enemy mechs patrolling this area until your teammates arrive.
Approach the area directly surrounding or facing the tower explosives and ascend to the rooftops above to clear out any snipers posted nearby.
Drop back to street level and search the building exteriors surrounding the explosives for small concrete ledge, then ascend to eye level of the enemies perched on these surfaces and destroy them with missile strikes.
Continue clearing the area around the tower until your teammates are able to detonate the explosives, then enter scan mode to relocate the designated route and fly towards the next objective within the city.
Hover along the indicated path between the buildings to land on the railroad tracks below, then boost forward through the train tunnel in front of you.
Stay in the leftmost lane to avoid the explosives blocking the track ahead and continue boosting forward to activate a cut scene in which the Giant Weapon is activated.

Father’s Tower
Fight your way the next corridor ahead on the left and follow the other mech forward to navigate the enclosed tunnel, then boost across the last straightaway to exit into the city above and turn left at the top.
Approach the next street entrance ahead and use the mech’s jetpack to ascend, then land on the roof of the building to the left and fend off the incoming projectile assault.
Continue ahead by launching off the rooftop and flying towards the Giant Weapon located a short distance away, then approach the mechanical leg currently firing the orange laser and boost in at close range to destroy it quickly.
Drop back to street level and take cover from the enemy’s follow-up projectile attack by hiding beneath the overpass, then move back out into the open and use the mech’s jetpack to ascend.
Fly to the right around the outside of Giant Weapon and boost into the next mechanical leg equipped with the orange laser, then destroy the weaponized appendage at close range and wait for your teammate to finish the job.
Once all of the immediate threats have been eliminated, follow the newly designated route through the surrounding city streets and employ scan mode to locate the nearest garage for repair purposes.
Re-locate the intended path and boost along it at street level to reach the next concrete ramp ahead, then drive up the incline to reach the freeway area above and continue forward.
Shift into the leftmost lane and launch missile strikes against enemies in the distance as you continue forward towards the city square ahead.
Use the mech’s jetpack to ascend into the air, then fly forward to hover above the area that surrounds the city square lined with red banners below.
Land on one of the nearby rooftops or hover in place for a brief moment so that you can accurately launch missiles into the enemies guarding the square below.
Continue moving between various points across the area overlooking the city square and take a moment at each one to help clear out the remaining threats below with rocket attacks.
Once your teammates radio in with the news that they have entered to tower, descend back to street level and approach the gate lined with red banners to eliminate any drones standing in front of it.
Face the banners and boost to the right , then launch missiles into the AC in the distance and finish him off with automatic gunfire as you approach at close range.
Return to the square and fight off the enemies that run head-on towards the wall lined with red banners until a cut scene activates in which a menacing AC lands nearby and you are charged with destroying it.
Stand a few feet in front of the gate lined with red banners and put your back to it, then begin sweeping the mech’s crosshairs back and forth across the various access points in front of you.
Use automatic gunfire to hold off the enemies that rush towards you within close range and launch missile strikes against the larger AC drones before they get close enough to cause significant damage.
Execute the above tactics to quickly eliminate all enemy variations that approach, before they manage to reach the gate and begin pounding on it.
Destroy the remaining ACs to your left and right, then continue preventing enemies from reaching the tower’s entrance gate until the mission is complete.
