This mission has three difficulty levels, and multiple maps. First, use the right command to set your combat mode (Real-Time or Turn-Based). You choose the difficulty level in dialogue with Elise, and you get one of the 3 maps randomly. None of the options are very easy. The raiders in all three camps do superior/crit damage, will swarm you and heal quickly, and seem to have high resistances to both normal and critical damage.

• Easy: Worst loot. Slags have low weapons, even some Zip Guns and molotovs, and leather and metal armor. Still, don't underestimate them - they do good criticals.
• Medium: Somewhere in between. Don't expect to solo this easily in RT.
• Hard: Best loot. Slags have both variants of Combat Armor, Desert Combat Armor and good weapons. The loot comes with stats sometimes. Expect a very tough fight though (for sometimes a very nice reward).

Choosing the difficulty level does not determine which camp you get.

NOTE: Watch for a text message at the end of the fight that indicates you've completed the mission.

Four Different Maps

• Map #1 is an outdoor camp with no lower levels, surrounded by a fence with a main gate. There may be more enemies here than you expect, as they populate all areas both inside and outside of buildings. Check all containers - you might find a few high-quality Crafting materials. You might get this done within 30 irl minutes (1 round of Drugs).

Spoiler 1

You don't have to go straight in through the gate. You can go up either side of the fence on the outside, and find a door.

• Map #2 is also only one level, an outdoor urban ruins. The layout is maybe a little bit tougher than Map #1. Set aside more time for this one, and bring extra ammo, some Repair skill, and Drugs just in case it's tougher than you expected.

• In Map #3, you must fight your way into a vault with multiple levels. On hard difficulty, bring help. Bring a ton of ammo. Bring many sstims. Bring multiple rounds of Drugs, and spare Armor and/or someone with high Repair skill and some Super Tool Kits. At least 2 Real-Time hours needed, so plan for a longer adventure.

• Map #4 is a cave with a couple of buildings and tents near the entrance. Heavily guarded.

Requirements

• Level ?? or higher.
