[Blacknet mission 10] Operation: Long Horizon | Blacknet missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hunting Lindsay Benhurst

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [402, 308]. Very important information is fact, that this terminal can be used only by authorized persons, so you have to consume a scientist or a soldier and disguise yourself. Find the Blacknet terminal and use it (B button), watching out for viral detectors and ignoring fights with infected in the area.

New objective: Hunt and consume Lindsay Benhurst

As you probably remember, it is best to start the hunt with getting to the rooftop of one of the highest building in area. Only then send an impulse (press left analog), so you can easily locate the person you're looking for (screen above).

Lindsay Benhurst stations in location [520, 430] and since it is military area you should approach it disguised as a soldier or a scientist. After getting there it will turn out that the person you're looking for is imprisoned in a special cage.

Start with destroying the cage and depending on your preferences you can use the rocket launcher, one of Heller's abilities or throw a large object at the cage. After freeing Benhurst try to consume him but since he also got virus powers, you'll fail.

Defeating Lindsay Benhurst

New objective: Defeat Lindsay Benhurst

Start the fight with Benhurst. If you do not want to deal with the base defensive turret, try to move away from that location, hoping that Lindsay will follow you. But you can also stay in the base, using surrounding objects (helicopter, weapons sheds) to your advantage and consuming soldiers.

Notice that Lindsay has ability to summon birds. Extermination of flying creatures is not required, but when they become very tedious you should consider killing them, especially that they die fast.

New objective: Consume Lindsay Benhurst

Keep attacking Lindsay until his energy bar is almost empty. Run towards him and consume him.

Destroying helicopters and retrieving ammo

New objective: Destroy the helicopter so the Evolved can't hijack it

There are three helicopters in total to be destroyed and first of them appears in location [406, 350]. Approach the helicopter indicated by the game (you might jump over rooftops and gliding). Take a note at the bar visible in upper right corner of the screen. It shows distance between you and the helicopter and when it gets empty, you'll fail the mission.

When you sufficiently approach the helicopter, you have to decide how you want to destroy it. You can jump on the helicopter and perform so-called finisher (Y button - requires appropriate mutation) or tear off its gun (X button). However I recommend using the whip. So target the helicopter (left trigger) and then use the whip distance attacks (hold X button or other button assigned to this power).

After two or three hits the helicopter will explode. Regardless of the method you choose, you have to destroy hostile flying machine, which will result in displaying new cut-scene.

New objective: Retrieve the Blackwatch munitions before the Evolved arrive

This objective is very similar to races know from previous Blacknet mission. In this case you have to collect four containers, randomly located in a small area. So help yourself with sprint option, run over the walls, perform long jumps and glide. You have to collect all ammo containers before time runs out.

New objective: Destroy the helicopter so the Evolved can't hijack it

The second helicopter will appear in location [419, 472]. Same as previously you have to approach the machine and then destroy it in any way. Remember - do not let the helicopter fly away.

New objective: Retrieve the Blackwatch munitions before the Evolved arrive

Also this task doesn't differ from the previous such objective - you have to quickly find ammo containers. Collect all four containers before time goes out.

New objective: Destroy the helicopter to stop the evolved

The third, last helicopter appears in location [640, 406]. Once again repeat all previously described actions - approach the machine and destroy it.

Defeating the evolved

New objective: Defeat the evolved

Start the fight with the evolved, during which you should rely on attacks performed in a short distance and (if possible) on the Devastator attack, which might empty the evolved energy bar if you have luck.

During the fight try to dodge your opponent's attacks if possible and be aware that he can summon birds. Notice also, that there are many infected running in the area, so you can easily regenerate both energy and bio-mass. Finish the fight by consuming the evolved.

Hunting dr. Lawrence Foster

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

Once again go to location [402, 308]. Same as previously, you should approach the terminal masked as a soldier or a scientist, remembering about avoiding viral detectors. Use the terminal again (B button).

New objective: Hunt and consume dr. Lawrence Foster

Act the same as with previous hunt, so get to the rooftop of one of the highest building in the area, to locate the doctor. Lawrence Foster stands on the rooftop in location [574, 324] and is accompanied by three brawlers. I do not recommend to attack nor to consume him, but to move away from the area after getting brawlers' attention.

Start fighting with brawlers, who should not be a big challenge for you. I personally recommend fighting them on rooftops of other buildings, because you can push brawlers so they will fall down and that can give you more time to kill beasts one by one. Try to eliminate all three brawlers.

Defeating dr. Lawrence Foster

New objective: Defeat dr. Lawrence Foster

New objective: Consume dr. Lawrence Foster

Only now return to Foster. When you try to attack him or consume him, it will turn out that doctor has virus powers. So as a result it will be easier to defeat him once previously mentioned brawlers are dead. As for the fight itself, reckon that Foster can summon birds. You should attack him with quick attacks in a melee fight. End the dual by consuming heavily wounded doctor.

Getting to the base

New objective: Go to base Hotel Two Seven to kill dr. Vandiver and commander Chapin

New objective: Use the hand scanner to sneak into the base while it's under attack

Go to location [515, 435] and since you have to get inside the military base, make sure to disguise as a soldier or a scientist. Once you approach the base, watch a short cut-scene. Ignore the fights and focus only on getting to the scanner in location [513, 428].

Consuming dr. Vandiver

New objective: Consume dr. Vandiver to stop fetal testing and access Chapin

Dr. Vandiver walks in the adjacent room and his approximate location is [497, 444]. Notice also new bonus objective - you have to stay hidden until you unlock an access to the room with commander Chapin. So stay hidden and do not attack anyone. In order to get to dr. Vandiver you have to use the passage guarded by two guards (screen above) and then go down the stairs.

As you've probably noticed, the scientist indicated by the game is constantly observed by someone. You can solve this problem in two ways. First method is to successive consuming those characters, which are not observed by other persons. The second method (in my opinion better one) is to grab those character and make them living bio-bombs (X button; above screen).

Main advantage of using bio-bombs is the possibility of elimination several persons at once and forcing others to leave their default positions. What's more, such actions won't fail your bonus objective, because you're still not exposed. Keep performing your chosen actions until you can quietly grab and consume dr. Vandiver (screen above).

Consuming commander Chapin

New objective: Use the hand scanner to access commander Chapin

The hand scanner can be found in location [520, 433]. Notice that by using this device you've completed bonus objective, so during rest of the mission you do not have to sneak any longer.

New objective: Consume commander Chapin

An exact location of commander Chapin is in [524, 427] and you have to know that he has virus powers, so you won't be able to consume him without problems. So you can attack him now, but my suggestion is to eliminate all soldiers in the room first. That will make the fight easier.

New objective: Defeat commander Chapin to stop Blacklight fetal testing

You fight can be started directly by you or after an attempt of consuming commander Chapin. Once it has started, focus your attention not on the commander, but on the super soldier. Try to block his attacks (RB button) and then counterattack.

After elimination of super soldier, start attacking commander Chapin. Same as with previous fights, try to hit him in a melee fight. Since the room is relatively small, the Devastator attack can also be useful here (screen above).

Leaving the base

New objective: Consume commander Chapin

New objective: Exit base Hotel Two Seven

Keep fighting until you can consume the commander. The only thing left is to exit the base, so go to the elevator in location [510, 412], disguised of course as a soldier or a scientist. After leaving the building the mission will end. Notice that as a reward for completing this mission you can choose a mutation from category Power Specialist.
