MAP OF THE CRAWLER:
Map legend: 1 - entrance to the mobile base; 2 - storage area; 3 - armory; 4 - passageways to the Launch Platform Base
Approach the force field [#60]. You can disable each obstacle using one of three available methods. The first method allows you to turn off the force field using high Science skill (80 points), the second method relies on Explosives skill (50 points) and the third method requires the main character to destroy a control panel using brute force. Don't ignore the third possibility, because you'll have about one second to move back before the explosion has ocurred. Once you've disabled the force field make a few steps forward to enter a big area.

I would recommend that you start off by moving south. You can disable a second force field while you're there. Take your time to look around and you'll soon initiate a conversation with Stiggs. I would recommend asking him a few questions about the mobile base, especially about the layout of the upper level. Travel south-east and you should be able to find a small supply point. It gets even more interesting when you head south-west, because there's small storage area there [#61]. Turn off the field and look around to find a lot of medical supplies and other items of high value.

You could leave this area right now, however I would recommend that you take your time and travel north. Notice that once you're close enough to a new force field you're going to be surprised by a group of elite Sigma soldiers [#62]. Use a Tesla cannon or an upgraded plasma rifle to get rid of them, especially since they're heavily equipped. You can also consider setting up a minefield in the area, but you would have to finish placing the mines prior to their arrival. Make sure to inspect all the bodies after the battle, because you'll be allowed to collect powerful armors, as well as an incinerator (upgraded version of the flamethrower). Explore the north-eastern corner and you'll come across a fairly large armory. Disabling the force field will grant you access to a Gatling laser and other guns. Once you're ready move on go back to the southern passageway leading to the Launch Platform Base, because going through there will give you more freedom of choice upon your arrival in the next zone.
