Mission 7 - The Wetlands | Human campaign Grey Goo Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Primary objectives:

• Find Singleton and get him back to the Core.

Secondary objectives:

• Save all of the allied teams
• Destroy the enemy base

On the map, there are five possible Singleton's locations. In the remaining four, there are small groups of allied units. There are five spots, but their pool is slightly bigger (blue points on the above map), due to which each mission is a bit different. If the outlay is disadvantageous to you, e.g. all of the points are far away from the base, start the mission again. Each time, you should assume that Singleton is in the most distant point, as viewed from the base. If there are more such points, the chances are 50-50.

During the mission, at regular intervals, the trapped machines activate. All of them are hidden behind walls and they will be attacked by the enemy, who split the area with walls and turrets. If there are units from the enemy base around [red 2], they join the attack. Exposed units may be destroyed nearly immediately, or after some time, depending on the numbers of the attackers. If it is also the ones from the enemy base, the trapped units will not last long. For this reason, waiting for allies to activate makes no sense. Before you get there, they will long be destroyed and you will fail the secondary objective. This is why you need to remain active, during the mission.

Additionally, much depends on the situation of points. Some of them have stronger defenses so, in some cases, you need to hurry up, whereas you do not, in the other. To be on the safe side, assume that all of them are well protected and without your help, the allied units there die.

First of all, build two mines on the nearby deposit. Te northern base approach will rarely be attacked so, you can wall it over. Next to the middle entrance, put several Sentinels. For the time being, defend the Southern one with units.

As quickly as possible assemble a strong assault team and go South. The passage will be defended by three manned turrets. Destroy them and construct Conduits this way. As quickly as possible, start to exploit the deposits. They should last until the end of the mission.

As soon as possible, launch the production of Gladiuses. Leave a small quick response group at the base and head towards the nearest suspicious point, as soon as possible. Along your path, you will have to destroy manned turrets, and small groups of opponents. These will be progressing towards your base continuously. Therefore, you should expect being attacked at any moment.

After you approach the suspicious location, a fragment of the area will be revealed. In the middle, you will notice five allied units, hidden behind a wall, and a group of opponents. Quickly, eliminate the attackers and approach the allied units. They activate after 30 seconds and they join you. Before the activation, you can lose, at most, four of them. Losing five means failing the secondary objective.

More or less, at this point, you should receive another secondary objective, whose completion makes the mission much easier. The enemy base is in the South-Western part of the map [red 2]. Along your path, you are sure to pass by some suspicious points. While determining the route, start with them and end at the enemy base. The factories at the base keep producing units so, you are going to need a strong assault group. 30 Gladiuses, supported by Lancers and Howitzers should do the job.

After you discover the fifth point and rescue Singleton, escort him to the base. To complete the mission, you need to stop next to the Core.
