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 random map out of multiple (apparently there are some maps unique to the selected difficulty level). None of the options are very easy. The raiders in all 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, although there are recorded evidence of getting the tent-map (#5) only for lower than highest difficulty..

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

Multiple 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.

• Map #5 is similar to a Trapper Camp Base with its outline. Couple of tents and angry slags.
