Walkthrough[]

UT (GOTY)[]

"This enormous hydroelectric plant used to power the colonies on Vesuvius 9 until a mysterious virus killed everyone off. Now that a few years have passed, Liandri Mining Corporation have declared the plant safe for combat (safe is relative to Liandri officials)."
Mission description

Tips and tricks[]

  • Use the Translocator to reach the hidden Shield Belt.
  • This map requires your team to support the attackers so they can reach the flag and escape with it—enemy fire is pervasive on this map.
  • There is no need for attackers to go through the Shock Rifle area; there is a shortcut that can be taken by translocating from the middle of the courtyard through an opening in the wall. If the attacker is lucky, they can snag the Body Armor, denying the enemy team the chance to obtain it.
