Rolling Thunder

It’s time to ride the dorrick. Unfortunately, the convoy heading towards the drilling hole has been attacked by the Locust. Turn around and take the Grindlift Notice, hanging next to the ladder. Your mission is to protect the drilling platform on its way to Landown.

Go to the left side and go up a special platform with a turret. Shoot down the Nemacyst projectiles. The main problem is not to simply hit the projectiles, but to start shooting at the right moment. Unfortunately, the turret takes some time before it starts to shoot, and overheats quite fast, too.

When the fire stops, another threat will show up on the left. Don’t let go of the turret and kill the incoming Reavers. Aim at the pilot, his death will end the attack. Unfortunately, the dorrick’s engine got damaged during the fight. You have to get off and defend Dizzy during the repairs, by organizing a defence point near the vehicle.

But before you begin, turn left. Just behind the derrick you will see a pile of ammo packs. Next to them lies the Munitions Requision Form. Kill the upcoming Locust while hiding behind the wooden logs. Hide behind the perpendicular logs to have cover from both sides. Although at some point, there will be just too many enemies and the platform will start working again. Rush in its direction by holding the A button.
