A Lot to Process Walkthrough: Objective 1 - Reach the Order Scientist's Home

Your first objective is to locate and reach Zadra's home, which is protected by advanced security systems.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate Zadra's home: Follow your mission marker to Zadra's residence. When you arrive, you'll find the door blocked by an energy barrier. In front of the house is a shed with the same barrier containing a generator you must destroy.
2. Destroy the generator: Circle the shed to find a hole through which you can shoot the generator. Alternatively, you may also climb the roof of the shed and perform a ground slam to break through and drop down inside.
   

   Alternative approach: destroy the generator from the roof

3. Eliminate turrets: With the barriers down, turrets in the house will begin to shoot at you. Take cover to destroy them. Once they are destroyed, enter the house and eliminate the remaining turrets inside.
4. Defend against The Order: After speaking with Zadra, forces from The Order will assault the house. Take them out using the environment for cover.

4. Activate the meat shower: After clearing the area, head inside a room with a glass window and press the highlighted button. Exit to the other side to pull the lever above the entryway. Stand where you are and let the meat cover you.

Rescue Operation

   Use vents to navigate the facility undetected

2. Defend while Zadra works: In the next area, Zadra will try to unlock the door as you fend off waves of enemies. Be especially careful of the Corrosion enemy and the enemy that turns itself invisible. After Zadra unlocks the door, continue your escape.
3. Clear the final room: Eliminate all enemies in the next chamber. Make sure every enemy has been eliminated before taking the elevator with Zadra to the roof.
4. Gather teleporter parts: At the roof, gather teleporter parts for Zadra by eliminating enemies. The parts are: 3 Controller Circuits and 1 Transponder Pack. These parts will be dropped randomly so kill as many enemies until they drop them all.
