Once you're done with the cutscene, use your flamethrower in the next section to quickly clear out the enemies. Make sure you heal up as you move along. The drop and occasional spatter of flamethrower will drain you quick and you need to be at full health for your run through the hive. There's only a few enemies along the way, but they can drain ammo dodging in the large room, so use the rest of your flamethrower and drop it. After you come out into the first hive section, before the elevator, look to the right and drop whatever you're carrying for the [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|Beam Rifle]], your other weapon should be a Carbine, and here's where it comes in handy. Follow Dare over to the elevator and bring up your Carbine. Follow Dare around the hive. The pesky Drones are everywhere, '''''keep moving!''''' Short bursts from the Carbine will drop Drones quickly and accurately. There's a lot of them, but a combination of running and shooting keeps you alive. You can also drop down the middle of one of the center rings to give you some cover to recover your Stamina. If you get to the end of the hive and see the door, just go through. Dare will magically appear. She will have gone to the left of the tunnel. You should go right. Drop down, and bring up the beam rifle. Zoom in and you should get a good look at the Chieftain and one of the minor Brutes. Don't go down yet. Use two shots on the Chieftain and get him to bring up his invincibility. While he's untouchable, Snipe out the other Brute you can see, if you can get both, so much the better. When the Chieftain's invincibility drops, Snipe him to death. Drop in and swap out both your weapons for a full [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute shot]] and the [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. If you want a silent option, jump down and run to the Chieftain and his buddies and hide behind a stack of boxes so the Chieftain won't see you. When he isn't looking, run behind him and quickly assassinate him. It may take a couple of tries, but in the end you'll get him. For some strange reason, the two other Brutes won't notice this and will keep attacking the door, so simply assassinate them as well. If you still have your Flamethrower then it will really come in handy once you come out of the Superintendent's Data Center.
