Shoot Pipes (x4)

Poisonous gas will fill the room. You must quickly shoot the 4 pipes before you die. One is on the ground level, the other 3 are higher up. Use the gust of wind in the east edge of the room to be lifted up there. Scan for the pipes with :up: / Z (PC) and they will be outlined in orange.

Shoot Tree Fruits

The little seed has already grown into a full tree. Shoot one of the red fruits on the tree. Turns out they are "gun fruits" that drop guns out of them, rather than food. The mission ends right after that.

  • Bring corrosive weapons for the Order robots as they're particularly effective against armor.
  • Before shooting the pipes, clear the area of enemies to avoid taking damage while dealing with the gas.
  • The gust of wind in the east part of the room can be used strategically during combat to gain elevation.
  • Don't forget to check the gun fruits after completing the mission - they often drop rare weapons!
