The squad is deployed 3 klicks west from the suspected hostile safehouse. They need to find a way in the safehouse and needs to gather intel from a laptop to properly locate 096 in order to recontain it.
Walkthrough[]
The players are advised to take caution in this operation as some actions may cause immediate death. They are also advised to ensure that they picked the flashlight attachments for their weapons, it's important to remember that you cannot change and select attachments after you ready up.
The players spawn 3 klicks away from the suspected hostile safehouse. They then need to follow the dirt road to get towards the safehouse. There are 3 enemies outside that are guarding the safehouse. They are armed with fully automatic assault rifles. The players don't need to take all of them out in order to enter the safehouse.
The squad tries to enter from the main door of the safehouse but it's locked so OVERWATCH suggests them to enter through the basement. The squad then enters the safehouse through the basement, then they search through it to report any findings. The squad then finds some military-grade equipment and reports it to OVERWATCH and asks that who are the people in the safehouse are. OVERWATCH then replies to them by saying that he has no idea and it's not important. He also says that "We'll send External Affairs if anything goes wrong". The squad also reported findings military tech in the basement and asked how should they proceed. OVERWATCH then told them to continue sweep the building and not to leave until they found information on the whereabouts of 096.
The squad then moves to the first floor by opening the 1st floor door. They then report to OVERWATCH that they made it to the 1st floor and that they are searching for a laptop. OVERWATCH then tells them to stay safe. A short moment later, the squad finds a room that has signs of torture and reports it to OVERWATCH and also asked that could the people in the house be Sarkic cult members. OVERWATCH then says that they do not have any knowledge of Sarkites in this area and then he suggests that it could be UN running covert operations. OVERWATCH then told them to keep sweeping. The squad then moves upstairs of the building encounters enemies near the stairs and they take them out, then they sweep through the rooms upstairs and also taking out enemy forces. They then find the laptop and then sends the files to OVERWATCH for reviewing. He then finds out that the people behind 096's breach tried to lead it south. He then informs to the squad that there is a ghost town that way and he has no idea that it's inhabited, he then tells them to watch their aim. The squad exits the safehouse and moves south towards the ghost town. The squad exchanges a few words before nearing the ghost town.
However, if you are soloing, something different will be said. Your character will instead say, "I can't stand living out here."
Eventually, you will reach the ghost town, seemingly empty and destroyed. However, there some troopers nearby. After a moment, a few tanks will roll down the road, and you will have to call for help from Sigma-9 to progress. After Sigma-9 bombs the road, you can continue up to the forest where 096 will be located.
Near the forest, Sigma-9 will drop SCRAMBLE gear for you and you can progress. Then you will be in the same, general area where 096. Once you find and bag 096, the mission will end.
Development Updates[]
- The Scramble goggles overheat more faster now. This makes it challenging to recontain 096.
- The mission time was changed from 6AM to 12AM.
- This changed the mission from a day time atmosphere to a night time atmosphere.
Trivia[]
- If you go through the cave near the dirt path towards the forest near 096, you will find a shocking secret...
Weirdly, the mission score will not increase unless you find the secret. So your score will always be 0 unless you find it.
