Setting

Courtsilius slums and lower passages. HUD is a straight route.

Objectives

  • Cross the slums into the lower passages.
  • Fight Infinite Coil units.
  • Witness Fathom’s operative-making process.

Squad

  • Hawks, a healer, and two brawlers.
  • Trick suits rockets and heavy fire.
  • Tel-Rea stays out of this fight.

Route

  • Follow the HUD. A Canal Technician chat yields +10 Intel; scoping the arena adds +3 Advantage.
  • Activate the console on the platform to your left to empty the canal, then clear the next wave from the upper rail.
  • A crate datapad by a sealed door gives +10 Intel.
  • A cave brings Tel-Rea, then combat. Late foes arrive over plank spans from behind.
  • Send one fighter up top on the small shack to the right; that perch still helps after the water falls. Prefer to hunker down and hold the main courtyard.

Tips

  • Dying Coils buff allies. Surge can briefly hide a foe, so post Overwatch.
  • Any operative can use the technician, datapad, and panel. Hawks is lower-risk.
  • This is the story beat that introduces Tel-Rea. She is not a fourth gun in the canal fight.

Rewards

  • Random Superior Weapon Mod
  • +150 Den Level

Choices

Optional technician talk, datapad, and panel user. No dialogue branch.

Source boundary

IGN’s walkthrough hub still says the campaign guide is in progress. This route is IGN’s observed path on the mission page, not the only legal clear. “No two players will complete a tactical mission in the same manner.”
