This is a walkthrough for the level [[Uplift Reserve (Level)|Uplift Reserve]]. It is written for the [[Legendary]] Difficulty, with notes for lower difficulties. | |||
This is a walkthrough for the | |||
For this mission, you play as [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]. You start out with an [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] and a [[Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser]]. With this mission you can play it three ways: slow, fast, and really fast. If you're playing really fast skip to the bottom and read the Really Fast Walkthrough. If you actually want to play the mission then just keep going. Good skulls for this mission are [[Tough Luck]] and [[Grunt Birthday Party]]. | |||

Once you reach the top, turn left and head behind the boulders to come up behind the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. Grenade and shoot. With help from the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], this is a quick, clean, kill group. From here you have two choices on how to proceed and it's simply a matter of preference. Both ways work, and they both share equal risks: | ||
*Slow: Flip the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]]. DRIVE! Let the Marines shoot, | *Slow: Flip the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]]. DRIVE! Let the Marines shoot, and give the Marine riding shotgun your Spartan Laser. If it has low charge when you give it to him and he dies, it'll be back up to around 60%, then you can give another Marine the Laser. There are a few other Warthogs around but don't follow them. Drive counterclockwise (turning left) around the clearing at full speed, dodging when you need to and never slowing if you can help it. This gives you the long view coming at the Wraiths and the shortest amount of time with your back to them. Keep going until the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]] and [[Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Choppers]] are dead and you get your checkpoint. You don't need to worry about the Choppers so much, except for ramming. The other Warthogs are pretty effective at killing them. There may also be a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]] or two for you to kill. Clean up before proceeding. A downside to this method is that the time it takes is long enough that eventually something is going to hit you. Whether it kills you or not is a matter of luck and skill. | ||
*Fast: Before you get in the Warthog, move right until you have a clear line of sight to the Wraiths. Smoke them with the Spartan Laser. Then get in the Warthog and clean up. | *Fast: Before you get in the Warthog, move right until you have a clear line of sight to the Wraiths. Smoke them with the Spartan Laser. Then get in the Warthog and clean up. This method is much faster but you're exposed for a bit and Choppers are fast and deadly, not to mention the Marines in the other Warthogs could hit and kill you too. After cleaning up here head down the path and grab the medkit from the station before the tunnel if you need it. | ||

After the tunnel go right and quickly head up the hill on the left running over everything (Brutes, Grunts, [[Kig- | After the tunnel go right and quickly head up the hill on the left running over everything (Brutes, Grunts, [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]]). Once you're clear hop out and find the [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]] the Grunt was carrying. Give it to your passenger Marine as he'll go nuts firing fuel rods at everyone instead of charging up a laser. Drive down and through the puddle towards the beach, keeping an eye out for the Banshees and a Chopper. Just keep driving in circles and don't advance until you've killed the Chopper and the Banshees are dead or have given up. Next is just fast driving and lots of ramming. Head up the path. Let your passenger with the Fuel Rod Gun do most of the heavy killing but feel free to ram the [[Shade]]s he misses. It's better than letting them shoot at your back. Watch for the Ghost that's going to start speeding away. Charge it and kill it before it makes it up the path. Once you get your checkpoint, stop for a second and wait for the Phantom in the next area to clear before going forward. Your Warthog is going to be pretty beat up here so take it easy before you rush in to the next area. | ||

When you | When you get into this area you are once again faced with the choice of Fast or Slow. Both have their risks, and advantages. | ||
*Slow: Head down the path and into the back of the building swap out for a new Hog and once again, drive in Counterclockwise (Turn left) circles until all the little enemies are gone. Drive fast and hard, don't stop and don't worry about anything else. Once you're clear drive around and kill the Wraiths. The advantage here is that you're always moving, so you're harder to hit, the problem is that it's easy to miss someone who will kill you when you're trying to get the Wraiths and the high ground Shades are difficult to kill without engaging the Wraiths to get up the hill. | *Slow: Head down the path and into the back of the building swap out for a new Hog and once again, drive in Counterclockwise (Turn left) circles until all the little enemies are gone.

As your head over the Bridge, change rides. Your beat up Warthog won't last so take the fresh and shiny one on the Bridge. Hopefully you still have Marines, preferably with the Rocket Launcher. If so, your life just got easier. If not you're in for some chop, but it's not unmanageable. Coming off the bridge, stay to the right of the path and avoid the fight. Drive up the path and ram the Shades. It's easier than any other option. When you see the Warthog husk and rest station you should get a checkpoint. Take a second and formulate your plan. Again you're going to have two choices. Both are dangerous and risky, and only skillful evasion and good aim will help you. Neither one is really faster than the other so it's a matter of preference, do you trust the Marine AI or not? | As your head over the Bridge, change rides.

You've made it this far, so now you've got a few turns and you enter the final arena. There barriers on either side of you with Grunts and Brutes behind shooting at you and a Wraith at the top waiting to kill you and to top it all off, a War Chieftain with a Fuel Rod Gun waiting to strike. Two choices here, drive around until everything is dead and drive over the edge of the cliff. Or just skip past everything and drive over the cliff. Either way you've just finished Uplift Reserve. | You've made it this far, so now you've got a few turns and and you enter the final arena.

When the mission starts pull out your SMG and head up the path. Once you reach the top, turn left and head behind the boulders to come up behind the Brutes and Grunts. Grenade and shoot. With help from the Marines, it just takes a few seconds. Flip the Warthog and jump in. Don't wait for the Marines because you're not going to need them. Speed past the Wraiths and down the path until you reach the tunnel. Ditch the Warthog for the Ghost and start boosting. At the end of the tunnel go left and avoid those enemies. Keep boosting through the next area, avoiding any confrontation up to the next clearing with the Wraiths. Swing around the ground and use a little maneuvering to get around them and onto the bridge. Once over the bridge, either boost over the cliff, or boost through the next set and then take a second to rest up real quick before you get to the platform. Go up to the landing platform and sharp turn right to speed past the enemies and Wraith here. Boost past everything and over the cliff. | When the mission starts pull out your SMG and head up the path.

*Doing this level without a vehicle is very difficult. Ammo is hard to find and health packs are few and far between. It's not impossible, but certainly not your best option. If you do end up walking for a bit because you lost your ride, don't worry, there are plenty of spares, and alternates (Ghosts and Choppers) around. | *Doing this level without a vehicle is very difficult.
