For
this mission, you need several units. While you have only 30 minutes
to complete your objectives, the better you prepare, the less
time and casualties the away mission will require. After you've
finished researching the Heavy MG, go to the Design menu and change
the weapon on the MG Viper from the Twin MG to the Heavy MG and
begin producing them. Also design a unit with the Repair Turret
if you haven't done so already. Have your trucks build a second
Factory to help out with the manufacturing. Also, repair all of
the units from the away mission. Order the second Factory to produce
some additional Flamer Vipers and a couple of Repair units. After
you have 20 combat units ready to go, load a truck, a Repair unit,
three Flamer Vipers, and five MG Vipers onto the transport and
send them on their way.

Your
first priority on arrival is to group your combat units together
and send them a short distance to the west. When you locate two
Scavenger bunkers, take them out and then pull back a bit. Order
the truck to construct a couple of MG Guard Towers at the entrance
area to the LZ. Then click on the transport button to load the
transport with more units from your base. Bring one more Repair
unit and nine combat units. Give all of your units the order to
return for repairs at medium damage.

After
the second wave of units arrives, send the first group west while
the new group defends the LZ. Continue bringing units in from
the base to help build up your force. The first group runs into
several bunkers. Take them out and follow the southern map edge
until you reach a small Scavenger outpost. Destroy it and then
take stock of your status. If the group is quite reduced because
of losses or damaged units returning for repairs, send the entire
group back while you bring Group 2 forward, along with Group 3
when it arrives. As units are repaired, send them back to the
front, but be sure to always keep some back at the LZ for defense.
With your next groups,
head north up the canyon immediately east of the first outpost.
Along the way, you find Rocket Pits and other defenses that must
be quickly destroyed. When you locate one, order an entire group
to target it until it's destroyed. Eventually, you arrive at the
Research Center. It's defended by a single Rocket Pit. Eliminate
it, then destroy the Research Center and recover the Artifact.
Immediately begin researching the Mortar.
After you have the Artifact,
you receive new orders to defeat the Scavengers. They have another
outpost to the north of the Research Center. Send two groups further
north to wipe out the last outpost in this zone. Target the Rocket
Pits first, and recover any Artifacts you find. After the outpost
is in ruins, you be ordered to return to the LZ. Follow the route
you took during the advance to avoid additional defenses. The
truck must demolish the two MG Guard Towers for the mission to
end.
