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.
Photography objectives require using the camera item from your inventory. Point at the target from within range and snap the photo. Multiple angles may be needed if the first attempt doesn't register.
This quest grants you specific items upon acceptance. These are typically required for one or more objectives, so don't discard them.
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.

Recommended Loadout
Ranged Weapon (Assault Rifle or SMG)

Grenades (Shrapnel or Snap Blast)
Grenades help clear clustered ARC groups quickly, reducing the time you spend exposed during combat phases.
Camera (Required)
Photography objectives require the camera item from your inventory. Make sure it is equipped before deploying to the map.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
