This is where your adventure withGears 5begins.

But nothing is lost!
This is the best time to ask Dave for help.

Dave will fly to the specified location, pick up the goods and bring them to you.

You will finda medical advice poster- another collectible.
To reach the rest of the location, you will need to use the chainsaw built into the Lancer.
Press and hold the weapon reload button to cut the cables.
Before you go deeper, use Dave’s help to scan the surroundings.
The option to scan the environment is very useful - you should use it frequently.
Thanks to the scanning, you already know that there are enemies waiting for you behind the nearest obstacle.
Hide behind one of the obstacles on the ground and get ready to fight.
If possible, take a stab at aim at the head to quickly eliminate the target.
After the battle, don’t forget to collect ammunition.
Raise the grate to go to the rest of the location.
Help your friend and continue exploration.
Hide behind one of the obstacles on the ground and get ready to fight.
You have to defeat two strong opponents wearing helmets, so a headshot won’t help you here.
Aim at their torso to kill them.
Access to destroyed missile silo is defended by multiple opponents that shouldn’t give you any trouble.
Go around the silo and cut the cables blocking the path.
Open it and go down.
In the sewers, you will encounter 3 groups of fast and agile opponents.
An additional problem here is darkness.
Fortunately, Dave will come to the rescue and cast a little bit of light.
You come across iron doors - Dave can open them.
Simply give him the order by pressing the right button.
From this position, you will have a great view of the entire arena.
A few shots or one grenade will cause a large explosion and significantly damage the opponents.
Pulsating red cocoons (both on the ground and those hanging) can be destroyed with weapons.

The enemies presented in the picture above should be eliminated from a distance.
Don’t run straight into a lighted area.
Replenish your ammunition and get ready to fight the first real enemy.
You are about to face a really large beast.
Ask David again to fire up the further path.
Aim at the panel highlighted in the picture and give an order.
There, you will find another collectible - a Coalition dog tag:the fallen Azura GEAR.
There are no additional valuable items in this room.
Exit the room and go up the stairs.
If you want, it’s possible for you to go right first.
Cut the cables blocking the entrance to the room.
Inside, you will find a lot of weapons, grenades and spare magazines.
All these items will undoubtedly be useful in the next battle.

You have to eliminate a few enemies, including one very durable creature.
Take care of the closest enemies first.
To make your life a little easier, blow up the red barrels marked in the picture above.
The door leading to the commander’s office is closed.

Go through the vent shaft to reach the next section.
Another collectible is lying on the table -UNR Hammer of Dawn plans.
Your next task is to launch the safe in the commander’s office.
Luckily, you have Dave with you!
In the safe, you will find the disk needed to complete the mission.
The main control center of the research station is full of enemies.
A few grenades and bullets should be enough to scrub the room.
Your task is to bring up the rocket hatch.
Eliminate multiple opponents and send Dave to the panels located on the pillars.
You will fire up the passage to the further part of this room.
Go upstairs and get rid of the enemies.
Climb the ladder and use the control panel to bring up the rocket hatch.
