Team: 1-3 players
The Last Array is the last storyline mission on the Earth. It is a relatively long mission, divided into two locations and several smaller objectives. Before you start, it would be a good thing to upgrade your equipment and get packs of additional ammo, because there are much more fights, in this mission, than in the previous ones and many of them take place in the Darkness Zones.
Get to Skywatch
From the orbit, you will make it to a small hill in Mothyards. Follow the mission's marker to the observatory. Deal with the Captain and 2 Vandals at the door and walk into the complex. After a while, you will get into a Darkness Zone. Cross the dark hall and climb up the stairs.
In here, you will witness a quite interesting situation. The opponents of the Hive and The Fallen fighting a deadly battle. Unfortunately, the saying "The enemy of my enemy..." does not apply here. Both are fighting each other, but they will attack you if you walk within sight. You can try dashing through the battlefield or, in a more traditional manner, defeat both sides. In the first room, you only run into Acolytes, and into Dregs, Vandals and one Captain in the second one. In both cases, you need to get to the other end of the room and walk into a small corridor marked as the objective for the mission. Keep along your path until you walk into the next location.
Recover the Ghosts
Your next task is to deal with several waves of opponents to retrieve the Dead Ghosts that they took away. You need to collect 3 of these and they are dropped at random, from the enemies, around this location. After you have collected the third robot, you receive another objective.
Follow the marker into the big red building at the other end of the location and, after a while, you will walk into a Darkness Zone again.
Find the control station
In the first room, you will be attacked by a small group of Dregs and Vandals with swords and a sniper rifle. Deal with them and keep moving towards the next room, where you will have to eliminate more Dregs. Head towards the light and, after a while, you will walk out into a big yard with huge amounts of Dregs, Shanks, Vandals and the Captain. Eliminate the first group from inside of the last room, by shooting through the smashed window. Also, you can use the other window on the right wall, to eliminate some of the opponents occupying the farther part of the location. Then, walk into the yard to eliminate the remnants. For the whole time watch out for the possible snipers that may lurk among the containers. They are incredibly accurate and they deal lots of damage.
After you have made sure that the yard is clear, head towards the passage at the other side of the yard. As soon as you come close, Stealth Vandals with swords will jump at you from inside. Deal with them, while keeping a safe distance, enter the building and kill the second Captain, who is guarding your objective.
Secure the Array
Before you activate the computer, make sure that your health is full, your powers ready and all your weapons reloaded. Just like in the previous mission, also here you will fight the incoming waves of enemies. They will jump out of the ships, or from the dark corridors on both sides of the square. A good defense point is the small elevation to the right of the computer. To get there to you, the enemies need to walk up the stairs (usually the staircase that is closer to the entrance), which will enable you to eliminate them easily.
As soon as you are ready, activate the console and climb up the stairs to the abovementioned elevation. Keep close to the stairs and eliminate the enemies that appear. Use the red pillar as your cover and, if too many opponents enter, retreat and hide behind the bigger column.
You will now fight against the Hive, which is why you should get ready for the hordes of Thralls that fight in melee, and plasma rifle wielding Acolytes. Also, there will appear a Wizard here, who fights while levitating, has a regenerative shield and magic projectiles. He can also release a small cloud of gas that poisons you and temporarily deals damage to you. He does not fly into the room, which is why you will have to get off the elevation. Still, you do not need to walk out, into the middle of the square and only stand in the door and fire at him from behind the corner. Finally, you will encounter two new enemies: Knight and Hallowed Knight. The former fights with a huge sword, deals lots of damage but is quite slow and not too tough. The other one functions as the boss of this mission. He appears towards the end of the battle and is incredibly resistant to damage, and attacks with a huge grenade launcher, whose projectiles explode on impact. Additionally, he can form an indestructible shield that disappears after several seconds. Just like the Knight, he is slow, thanks to which it is easier to keep a safe distance and avoid the lethal projectiles.
After you defeat the Hallowed Knight you will be summoned by your Ghost. Approach the computer to start the countdown and end this mission.
