Kikowani Station/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

When the mission starts switch immediately to your pistol and take out the wave of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] that approach you. Move up and swap your Assault Rifle for a [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]] or [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]]. If you keep going straight, alongside the wall on the left, you will find two Beam Rifles. The beam rifles should help you in taking out the Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts. Take out the [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|Plasma Battery]] and anyone on the lower level, but watch out for the [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]]-wielding Grunt up top.

As soon as he shows up, pop him with the pistol. Start clearing out the opposition, Mickey will help until all the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] are dead, then he'll head up to the [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]. Finish off the jackals and Grunts here and before you grab the Banshee, swap your Brute Shot for the Fuel Rod Gun. Run over and grab a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] then use it to take out the [[Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|Shades]], there are four of them, before any Covenant can man them. Clear the ground level of enemies then move to the towers. When the door opens take out the two Banshees but before moving forward go to the tower where the grunts had Fuel Rod Guns and pick up some more ammo. From here you can move forward. Take out the platform and turn north and kill the enemies at the other end of the hall. If you're quick you can get them before they get to the [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]].

Inside all the enemies are north of you. Stay clear of the center area and go straight over to the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|beam rifles]] and swap for your pistol. Once you have the beam rifle, head up the south end of the room so you have a clear view of the long hall. You'll see lots of Brutes and a few Grunts and Jackals. Pick off the Brutes first with the beam rifle, and as the Jackals and Grunts close in, use the Fuel Rod Gun on them to clear out. You'll see an [[Huragok|Engineer]] protecting the Brutes at the back, so you can take it out, making your job a little easier, but you'll probably have to run up and swap out for the other beam rifle. Watch out for the two [[Brute Stalkers]], then pick off all the Brutes you can see. Eventually you'll draw out the [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftain]] with the [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. Hit him with the beam rifle until he hits the bottom of the stairs then use the Fuel Rod Gun to finish him off. Once you've killed the Chieftain, run down and swap your beam rifle for the Gravity Hammer and move north, clearing out any remaining Brutes. Go to the office at the end on the left and open the door.

When you run out into the next open space, go south. Run past any enemies on foot and get into one of the two Banshees on the catwalk. These ones are shielded by buildings from the [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]], so you've got a better shot at taking off without receiving damage. Before dealing with the Scarab, take out all the recharge stations, it clears out all the ground forces that can plink away at you and kill you from behind. Next, deal with the Banshees, watching out for the Scarab. Boosting is your best friend here. Once you've dealt with the Banshees, take out the Scarab. Hit its legs, then while it's down blow out the back and take out the core. Once you've beaten the Scarab, open the last door, destroy any of the recharging stations, watch the chain reaction and enjoy the cutscene.

*The Phantom your squad is in keeps the enemy distracted, but they're more interested in shooting at Engineers than Banshees, and their aim isn't all that good. Use them as cover and a distraction to get behind the enemy. Also you're likely to draw stray fire from the phantom when they're aiming at Engineers so keep an eye out.

*Acrobatics and Boosting will give you a distinct advantage against the AA Wraiths and the Scarab.
