What each player can do here

P1 · Kait (JD in Act I)
  • The truck ride is a moving fight; stay in cover and shoot what chases you.
P2 · Jack or Del
  • A co-op partner can play Jack as a support seat.
  • Jack's shield helps a lot in the stand at the second camp.

If your skill levels differ: Uneven pair: the newer player can take Jack, the support robot (scans, fetches, opens doors and revives), while the steadier shot takes a soldier seat and carries the gunfights. How to split the roles

Out of the rubble

Part 1 of 3. Get out of the collapsed building.

  1. BothFind the way out of the collapsed building through the dark room and lift the beam blocking it.
  2. BothOutside, the squad fights more Swarm, including leaping Pouncers; keep away from their shots.

The ride

Part 2 of 3. Ride the transport between camps.

  1. BothRide the transport and shoot the Swarm chasing you, or keep your head down.
  2. BothWhen the road is blocked, deal with the snipers on the far side, then the big Leech-spawning beast that follows.

The wall

Part 3 of 3. Hold the wall and stop the Kraken.

  1. BothAt the last stop, climb up and use the turrets to defend the wall; let them cool down between bursts.

Boss

KrakenThe final boss

  1. Tongues: Shoot its tongues (and the Leeches) while the big gun charges.
  2. First shot: When the gun is charged, go to it, aim at the Kraken and fire.
  3. Inhale: It then starts pulling everyone into its mouth: shoot inside the mouth, at the glowing tonsils, to stop it, then go back to the tongues.
  4. Second shot: Fire the gun a second time to finish the fight.
  • Being grabbed by a tongue here can kill outright; stay behind cover.
