Nightfall/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

Once your active camo is recharged, move forward. When you see the rocks, you want to be right of them, but behind them. Activate your camo and edge forward, bringing up your Sniper Rifle and peek over the crest of the ridge you and Jun are on. Across the way, on the roof of one of the structures, you will see several [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Rangers]] and a [[Special Operations Sangheili|Spec-Ops Elite]] with a [[Type-52 Special Applications Rifle|Focus Rifle]]. Take out the Spec Ops Elite with a head shot, then as many of the Rangers as you can before they start to Jetpack away. Make sure you kill the Spec Ops Elite! If he survives, he'll cloak and be much harder to take down. The Rangers can all be taken down with one headshot; wait until they stand still for a clean shot unless you're very confident with your sniping. Bring out your Pistol and start clearing all the Grunts and Jackals from the lower area. There are also a couple of Elites on the floor, a General and a Major, but you can leave those for a bit as Jun will keep them distracted as long as you move out of sight. Stay cloaked. The Covenant troops will concentrate on Jun, giving you time to line up shots. Make sure you switch off the cloak to check your motion tracker occasionally; kamikaze grunts have a nasty tendency to sneak up on you once you've taken out a few Elites. Checking the motion tracker will help you catch them before they get close enough to strike. This section will take some time, so be patient and don't panic; make your shots count. Just as importantly, take note of your surroundings! There are some fuel tanks in the central ground area. Rather than waste sniper ammunition dropping the shields of the General, keep an eye on him. If he moves close to the fuel tank, shoot the tank with your Sniper Rifle; the explosion will severely weaken him even if it fails to kill. Once you've sanitized this area, move into the building and go upstairs. Find your way to the next oven area. You will see a cylindrical tower in the center and a circular space with some interiors surrounding it. Take out the Elite Major on the tower. It will take 2-3 shots, but you can't have him shooting at you as you run and gun this area. There is a [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Plasma Turret]] on the left side upper floor of the building on the far side. Use a sniper round and take it out. Pull out the pistol and take out the Grunts and Jackals. The remaining Elites will hopefully be distracted and a little weakened by Jun. Try to get up high and finish them off with the Sniper Rifle, or you can sneak around and try and assassinate them. Keep in mind that on Legendary Elites will spot you when you are cloaked if you're close enough to them and in their sight line; sneaking up behind them or sniping is still safe. Once you've cleared all the enemies, you can see run up to the plasma battery and look right. A couple of Jackal Majors and a Grunt or two will be trying to sneak up along the path. Use your pistol to finish them off. Grab the turret and remove it from the mount. Head out where those Jackals came from.
