There’s a huge area before you that’s virtually crawling with Nevec forces. First shoot down some nearby soldiers and take a Plasma Gun from one of their bodies – it’s the best non-VS weapon you can think of on this level. In a hangar to the right there’s some good quality equipment and a VS. Steadily fight your way through the enemies, don’t rush or you’ll regret it. If you loose a VS, look around to find another one, there’s plenty of them in the vicinity. When you get near the enemy base, few more mechs will emerge. Destroy them and enter the base to trigger a cut-scene.

Remember this place? Yup, here’s where you started Mission 3. On a ruined truck up ahead there’s a great VS to take over, a PTX-140. Take control over it and go through the snow planes once again. This time it won’t be the worm bothering you – instead, you’ll be facing Mantises, some of them bigger and stronger than those you’ve seen before. When you reach the Nevec base on the other side of the plane, things will start to get really hot. You don’t have to defeat everyone around here, really. Just hurry up towards the door up the stairs and enter. You should manage to make it, provided the Nevec forces are busy with the Akrid.

When you’re back in the base, go down the stairs and defeat the soldiers there. If you don’t have it yet, grab w Plasma Rifle. You’ll encounter a new type of enemies here – probes. They don’t attack you until you cross their red laser sensors. Try to avoid them, even though they aren’t really a threat until you get the attention of more than 4 at a time. When fighting them, wait before they open up their shields and then shoot them.
Don’t go even lower, instead use the anchor to get to a platform to the right. Defeat the enemies there and go along the wall. This way you’ll avoid a lot of probes that are patrolling the path below. Drop down when you reach the end of the path, near the two missile turrets. Destroy them both and defeat all other enemies that stand on your way. Shoot the hangar door to the right (it’s a bit above the floor level) and grapple up there.
Activate a Data Post, grab some T-ENG from the containers and enter a VS. You’ll be taken to a boss battle.
Boss
Once again you’re facing a stronger version of a common VS (though you might not know that yet). This enemy is accompanied by a few probes; take some time to shoot them down off the bat. Arm your mech with a Rocket Launcher and a Shotgun (you can find both weapons around the arena). The latter can be used to quickly take down the probes. Attack the boss with two weapons at once. Whenever it changes into its driller form, jump up to avoid the attack and take the opportunity to shoot it. It’s quite an easy target when it’s positioning himself on one of the higher platforms in the middle of the area.
Attack only when you are sure that you won’t miss. The enemy is quite slow and steady, so try to approach him as close as you can and take advantage of your shotgun. If you loose a VS, grab a Rocket Launcher and finish the job with it.
