These missions give the player a lot of freedom in how to approach the objectives and which units to deploy. In addition, each mission has bonus objectives that increase your local high score.
Mission: Prospect & Protect
The main objective in this scenario is to gather soil samples at various locations by constructing and defending “prospectors”. In order to achieve this, you’ll have to muster a force of mercenaries in your outpost base and venture down into Bug territory.
At the same time, however, relentless Arachnid attack waves are pouring in from the opposite side of the outpost. Losing it will result in certain defeat, so while your expeditionary force takes care of the prospectors, other units must be assigned to defend the wall.
The scenario provides an excellent opportunity to experiment with various compositions of all the new mercenary unit types, both in an offensive and defensive role.
Your final score will be based on how long you managed to survive against the ever increasing attack waves, as well as the amount of hives and nests cleared in Arachnid territory.
Mission: Raiding Inferno
In this mission, mercenaries and M.I. Troopers collaborate to purge an Arachnid-infested sector. The main threat comes from a series of hives that are constantly spewing out attacks.
While your starting base is important for the deployment of new units and infrastructure, the terrain offers various treacherous routes between Bug hives and additional Radio Stations. It is up to you to determine how to best approach the situation.
The Federation cares for the wellbeing of its soldiers and their materiel. Your score will therefore be affected by the amount of losses taken. Careful positioning of your units and a correct response to new Arachnid threats will be vital to achieve a commendable outcome.
Mission: Wildfire
This mission has a strong focus on the new Powered Suit Incinerators and Officer. Together with a flamethrower-equipped Marauder and various support units, they are tasked to exterminate a concentrated Bug infestation.
To accomplish the mission, numerous Brood Nests and Stinger Nests must be eradicated. The operation demands resolute and aggressive tactics due to an increasing influx of Arachnids converging into the sector.
Adding to the challenge, an imminent ash storm threatens to impede reinforcements. Radio Stations sporadically dot the map, but time is scarce, and troops are limited to secure them for an extended duration.
For an outstanding high score, all Nests need to be eradicated as quickly as possible, while additional points can be gained for clearing Bug Hives.
