Defending the campsite | Mission 4: Frozen Paradise

You won't need your personal map here, because you'll have to stay near the campsite until this objective has been completed. Your task will be to defend yourself against alien attacks while one your colleagues tries to place an explosive charge on a nearby gate. Start off by heading towards a small ammo depot (screen). Make sure that you have a rocket launcher in your inventory.

Notice that there are other soldiers around you. Focus mostly on killing larger creatures, especially those who'll show up above you (screen). Some of them will also arrive from the west. Use your rocket launcher to get rid of slower foes, because they won't dodge your attacks and a single rocket should be enough to kill them.

You can also try killing smaller creatures while waiting for larger foes to show up. Remember to use grenades here (screen). They're very efficient, because alien creatures tend to stay close to each other. Prevent them from getting too close to you or your colleagues, because it can get messy.

The second phase of the battle will require you to focus most of your attention on killing larger hive units (screen). Destroying them before they get too close is extremely important. Otherwise they would have dropped new alien units or attacked the campsite. Just as before, use a rocket launcher (or a Gauss rifle) to take them out.

You will have to defend the campsite for about two minutes. You'll then be informed that explosive charges have been set (screen). They won't explode, but an enemy exosuit will fire a huge projectile at you and it'll destroy the entrance to the mine. Thankfully, you won't have to kill the exosuit, especially since it's far away from your position.
