Bombing Run
Now, time to see if that recon paid off. If we can teach Raiders to effectively counter Bombardiers up there, we'd be a lot safer down here.
Key Takeaways
- Given by Shani and takes place in any available map.
- Includes 2 objectives focused on combat, delivery.
- Rewards 2 items upon completion.
- Sequel in a quest chain. You must complete the prior mission from Shani first.
Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Combat objectives can be completed across multiple raids if needed. Progress persists between sessions, so retreat if overwhelmed rather than losing your gear.
Delivery objectives require you to carry items to a destination. Dying while carrying quest items won't lose them permanently, but you'll need to retrieve them from the quest giver again.
This quest can be completed on any map. Choose a map you're comfortable with or one where you have other objectives to work on simultaneously.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Ranged Weapon (Assault Rifle or SMG)
Combat objectives require reliable damage output at medium range. An assault rifle gives you versatility against both ground and aerial ARC units.
Grenades (Shrapnel or Snap Blast)
Grenades help clear clustered ARC groups quickly, reducing the time you spend exposed during combat phases.
Healing Items (Bandages or Medkits)
Delivery runs mean traveling across the map while carrying quest items. Healing supplies keep you alive during the long trek without needing to divert for supplies.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
Step-by-Step Completion Guide
Follow these steps to complete all objectives for Bombing Run. Each step includes contextual advice based on the objective type.
Destroy a Bombardier
Engage the specified enemies using your weapons. Progress counts across multiple raids, so retreat if your health is low rather than risking a gear loss. ARC machines have weak points that deal bonus damage when hit.
Deliver a Bombardier Cell to Shani
You need to carry the specified item back to the trader. The quest item will be in your inventory. Head to Speranza and interact with the trader to hand it over. If you die during transit, the quest item returns to the quest giver for re-collection.
Quest Chain
This quest is part of a storyline from Shani. Complete quests in order to unlock the next mission in the chain.
