Suljeva Minetrain
Additional missions:
Secure the train
The blue substance powering the Helghasts' weapons appears to be petruzyte. Three members of team Alpha are being held hostage. Unfortunately you didn't manage to catch the train with the prisoners and you got on the next one. You have to take over the Helghast train if you want to find your friends alive. Firstly you have to find a gun. After a while you will bump into the first enemy. You can approach him from behind and stun him, or just shoot. Pick up his gun and continue forward. There will be more enemies appearing from time to time. When you reach the first wagon you can attack the Helghasts there from below or use the ladder to reach the higher level. You should choose the first option, as you will be covered better. Look out for the grenades. If you see an enemy throwing a shiny ball in your direction better run from there at once. You can take advantage of the fact that there's lots of petruzyte being transported. If you see a group of enemies standing next to a shining container, shoot it instead of them.
In the further part of the train you will be able to use a gun mounted on a tank. Don't hesitate to use it as the Helghasts will be tough here. But the hardest part will await you right before reaching the locomotive. In the place where the tank starts to shoot at you there will be an unlimited number of enemies. While hiding from the tank's fire, you have to get rid of a wave of enemies, run to the gun stack, take a rocket launcher and shoot at the armoured vehicle. After four, maybe five times there should be an explosion. Slowly continue forward (you can take the rocket launcher if you still have some ammo) and get rid of all the Helghasts on the next wagon. Especially look out for those standing on the higher level, because they have rocket launchers. After you eliminate all of them go to the control room and you will reach a checkpoint.
Tharsis station
Additional missions:
Localize Alpha team
After taking over the train you have to infiltrate the refinery. Listen to the Helghasts talking and then kill everyone on the platform. You will split up with Rico. Help him get over the fence and hide behind the column, as a new group of enemies will appear. After you kill them use the same door through which they entered.
Lower Refinery Complex
Additional missions:
Localize Alpha team
You split up in order to find you friends. Enter the newly opened door. Suddenly the floor will collapse and you will fall to the lower level. Look out for spiders. Destroy the coil at the end of the corridor and you will be able to continue. There you will once again meet a Helghasts with an energy gun. Notice that above him there is a transport line. When he will be under it, shoot the petruzyte and you will stun him for a couple of second. Use this time to shoot the containers on his back. Do this over and over again until he falls. Go up the ladder to the control room and press the switch.
Processing Complex
Additional missions:
Localize Alpha team
You have to ride untypical vehicle to get through the refinery. Before that, be sure to take the energy gun. During the ride you can shoot if you want. When you see a barrier ahead of you, shoot the coil.
Cross-Facility Shipping
Additional missions:
Localize Alpha team
While trying to get to Rico you will be surprised by a new kind of attack. You're being attacked from small, flying machines, which isn't the most pleasant thing at the moment. However, the energy gun that you took will be great for taking them out. Hide behind the packages and take down the enemies. Walk round the complex until you reach an elevator. Activate it.
Transportation control
Additional missions:
Localize Alpha team
Meet with Rico
You meet up with Rico in the control room. Listen to what he has to say and run through the bridge with him.
Central Observatory
Additional missions:
Secure the landing field
Garza is wounded, while you and Rico have to capture Radec. Begin the chase. You have a great gun, so eliminating the enemies shouldn't be too hard. Press the switch at the end.
Tharsis Aerial dock
Additional missions:
Secure the landing field
Secure the communications tower
Team Alpha has to survive until the evacuation. You will be attacked the whole time by enemies on the platforms. After a while you will receive an order to help Evelyn on the way to one of the shelters. Clear the way there and pick up the sniper rifle. Now you will be able to eliminate the other enemies.
