The closest beacon is the eastern beacon, so we'll start there. Besides that, there are also weapon racks with Snipers, Manglers, Energy Swords, Plasma Grenades, and more!

With fast travel unlocked, you can warp back here to Hotel FOB after each beacon to grab a fresh Banshee and head to the next Beacon. You should see two Banshees, ready for you to take whenever you want! The best way to approach three out of four of these beacons is to fly a vehicle around to the back, and these Banshees are a free, easy way to do that. Once you take it over, head down the hill towards the cliffs at the edge of this FOB. If you do so, it'll be the only FOB you need to take to make the rest of this mission way easier. Your first item of business should be to take over this FOB. You can find it on your map in the southern area, very close to two of the beacons that we need to take over to progress in the campaign. Or, if you don't want to spend the time taking over FOBs and earning Valor, there's another trick that makes this mission way easier to accomplish on the harder difficulties. They're both incredibly useful for some of the tougher fights on this island. Get enough to at least summon Scorpion tanks and Wasps. If you haven't invested some time in taking back the Ring and increasing your Valor, now's a great time to do that. You'll still benefit from bringing in big guns, though. You can continue this backdoor strategy with the other Beacons, though the two western Beacon's don't quite offer the same option for approach. You'll still get a fight, but it won't be quite as exhausting. You'll encounter several Brutes snipers with Overshields, Jackals, and Grunts just around the corner near the control panel, though. Here you'll find a rocket launcher and a Battle Rifle and no enemies. Legendary Strategy Tip: One of the easiest ways to get to the eastern beacon is by claming FOB November, calling in a Wasp (or, if you're lucky, steal a Banshee), then fly quietly around the cliffside to the back of the structure. If you want to just go on without them, you can, but it's more of a pain without the ability to summon vehicles.

If you don't have these FOBs yet, you may want to consider getting them. There are four Beacons we need to get to, and each beacon is paired with a FOB that acts as a good starting point. Once you've escaped the bridge combat encounter, whether it was through fighting or avoiding it, you can start with the bulk of this mission. You can also try to go left, but you might be more exposed. You'll still get to take out some Banished, but this relatively safe path will keep you from being overwhelmed. Then, if you don't want to dive into snipers, Brutes, Elites, and the other Banished, you can use the Grappleshot to take a path behind their structures just to the right of the bridge. Use these to take out the Banshees that spawn. Near the bridge are weapons racks in Banished crates with Disruptors, a skewer, and plenty of other gear. Legendary Strategy Tip: Once you're able to approach the bridge, you'll be attacked by all manner of Banished who are posted up on the other side. Don't forget, the Hydra has a lock-on mode you can use by hitting LT (or whatever your Zoom action is assigned to) to make taking the Banshees out of the sky a breeze. You can use this newly found Hydra to take them out before worrying about everything else waiting on the other side of this bridge. Shortly after, two Banshees will fly over the Bridge. But, before we can get started on that, we need to get across this bridge that has a ton of Banished waiting for Chief on the other side.Īs you approach the bridge, you'll see a Hydra sitting there just begging for you to take. And now, there are four different beacons we need to head to so we can reconstruct the Forerunner Sequence and enter the Command Spire. Once everyone is taken care of, unlock the door to the Command Spire at the terminal.Īs you probably could have guessed, using the terminal didn't work. And remember, blast coils are a huge help in taking out strong enemies like Elites. If you're low on ammo after that last boss fight, there are weapon racks near the blast coils you can use to restock. In this area, there are two Elites to look out for.

There are some blast coils you can use to jumpstart the fight in your favor. Straight ahead there's a small group of Banished, led by an Elite. Unluckily, there are some Banished enemies to take out before we can get there. After you're dropped off, we need to head to the Command Spire.
