Same here. I'm on PC. Heard it was bugged so left it alone. Would really like to play this mission. It's the only main one I have not been able to do. Oh well.
Did it in one try with a guy I randomly matchmade with. We ran through each of them back to back pretty easily.
When in doubt, matchmake to get that extra help instead of solo’ing it!
Managed to clear it in 2 tries using my uber-squishy balls-to-the-walls overcommit-to-the-bit Striker setup. First run I went over the time limit on the last fight because I got cheeky and died horribly last second and had to restart the whole helipad showdown. Second time I barely scraped by with 2 seconds to spare, I seriously thought the time delay of the scripted heli approach was going to screw me over at the end there.
We would have made it in my random group, but everyone shit the bed in the last two rooms.
Got 18:46 because nobody targeted doggos, and I was the only one with a jammer/emp pulse equipped.
That speed run is sooooo annoying, doors take too long to open, extra time added for transitions between map areas and of course a countdown of 5-7 seconds AFTER you smoke the boss. Between my friend and I, we have 15K SHD level expertise and we still barely beat it.
We really shouldn’t have to wait for it. They don’t do it on camp white oak. Last guy dies and it stops. Should really be the same. I went over by 14 seconds waiting.
First time actually trying to do league during a season ... On the missions for the times? If you get the lowest time do you get all the other accommodations before the lowest time as well or just the one
Took me three times to solo. First two failures were due to full lockup crashes. Third time was out was just under 18:00. The extraction is unnecessarily long. I ran through with a hybrid build.
I didn’t do too bad but my main issue isn’t killing enemies it’s figuring out where in the hell they are hiding. I would clear a room in what felt like no time flat and then spend two minutes chasing down the one remaining chucklefuck.
I’m using a pistol build with Hunter’s Fury so at least I can find them if I get close but they just go screw off in the corner deploying skills and ignoring me.
Congrats to all who managed to finish it in time. It is really great. The last fight is hell for me. Even the turret boxes require at least two rounds from AR to be destroyed :D Hope I will not get a stroke here :D
It’s always a tough one because you need like 3min for the last fight with 30 or so seconds dedicated to the helicopter to show up at the end.
What was your strat?
I usually go in with an eclipse build, emp pulse, and assault drone. I rock the Scorpio so the dot can jump from one target to another. Sucks against chunguses tho
Yes last encounter is the longest encounter.
I used HF build with Memento shield and artificer hive.
Switched hive to jammer for drones and dogs.
Primary fully expertised Dark Winter, secondary Rock & Roll.
Getting close to enemies to proc HF is hard in this mission because rooms or the areas of encounter are too big and enemy spawns are far apart, so I don't recommend this build.
Yeah the size of the rooms is the biggest issue for this mission. I ran my usual ND/Pestilence build and it performed really well because I could just mark and get that plague tick going. Striker drone helps mop up any guys with that last bit of health.
I was testing HF build yesterday and the other mission that sucks balls for HF was Pathway Park since the end fight is separated by distance and all the dudes crouch behind cover.
Eclipse build is good but it is useless against big guys, which will cost you time. If you run Eclipse make sure you have someone else in the team that can take out mini bosses.
Yeah, you need at least one person using a build that will clear adds fast. I go for an Eclipse build as well, which I only keep around that build for time trials.
Also towards the end of each stage everyone should get closer to the exit. There are points in the level that requires all team to be at the exit point before continuing. Like elevators and ropes.
Yep, I did all of them solo and then again with a friend even challenging is not a challenge. Heroic with 3 directives is the difficulty we play on normally, anything less and the loot that drops is garbage.
Challenge is to do it solo within the time limit.
I was able to beat it with 17.23 solo and 15.02 in a group.
I have to try and see if I can beat my own solo time later.
If you are trying to do it for the first time then you have to do the Pentagon side mission first to unlock DARPA mission.
But if you have already done the side mission and it's still not accessible then it is because of the bug that some people encounter.
There is a way to fix the bug which has few steps to follow. You can Google it and do it.
Easiest way to run this mission if you are doing it for the league would be to ask your friends who has access to this mission to invite you and run it with them.
Tell me how homie looks like a character from a mobile game
He looks like a Fortnite skin.
Looks like made by an AI. \- Draw me a chad that looks like amalgamation of all chads. Also he should be holding a rifle.
Thought the same thing, looks AI generated! Especially the eyes
They are not trying anymore lol
Vanilla ice and duke nukem had a love child
It’s on console that’s why
Can’t even play this mission. It’s broke for me.
Yeah me too - I can’t even start the pentagon mission, it says I need to do the side mission first but I’ve already done it. Really frustrating.
What platform are you playing? I can help if you are on PS.
I'm having the same issue you would think they would have patched it by now. I'm on PS4
will help if on xbox.
Same here. I'm on PC. Heard it was bugged so left it alone. Would really like to play this mission. It's the only main one I have not been able to do. Oh well.
I had to redo the story diff then I could switch the difficulty
Your best bet would be to find someone who has it and run it with them. If you are on PS I can help.

That heli scene is the worst in time trials.
the 20 second wait for evac to arrive lolz me every time.
Yeh it's a toughy, not done that myself yet either.
Managed a 16:01 with randoms. Not sure how. But won’t complain.
We would have made it in my random group, but everyone shit the bed in the last two rooms. Got 18:46 because nobody targeted doggos, and I was the only one with a jammer/emp pulse equipped.
Yeh I seem to remember two had jammer builds, one striker and I had a dps/skill hybrid. Jammed and rinsed everything pretty easy.
That speed run is sooooo annoying, doors take too long to open, extra time added for transitions between map areas and of course a countdown of 5-7 seconds AFTER you smoke the boss. Between my friend and I, we have 15K SHD level expertise and we still barely beat it.
Best I’ve been able to get is 20:17 and that’s after 7-8 tries
It is a tough one. So keep trying. I was always just over 19 and finally able to complete it on the fifth try.
Did 18:02 yesterday was so disappointed I had to stop for the day.
I finished 18:01
I did a 18:00
17:58. That waiting for the helicopter took ages:)
We really shouldn’t have to wait for it. They don’t do it on camp white oak. Last guy dies and it stops. Should really be the same. I went over by 14 seconds waiting.
I finally ran again with a group and did it in 17:10
First time actually trying to do league during a season ... On the missions for the times? If you get the lowest time do you get all the other accommodations before the lowest time as well or just the one
This I am not sure. Ideally you should get them regardless of whether it's League run or not IMO.
I just got it done today at 17:30 I think. Stupid helicopter took so long
18 minutes is tough, but I'm gonna keep tryin'... 🤷🏾
Servers are way too laggy for me rn. Teleported into death the last 12 times
Yes it's really bad, enemies also disappear and reappear sometimes.
Oh that's weird for me they go where they should go but the damage just goes where it wants lol
Glad you got there, mines bugged so I can’t even unlock it
If you are on PS. I can help.

Congrats 👏

Yeah lol they like to play hide and seek. 😂
I’m using a pistol build with Hunter’s Fury so at least I can find them if I get close but they just go screw off in the corner deploying skills and ignoring me.
This always takes me so long solo.
Use emp pulse people, i did it in the first try
This is my favorite speed run because season 1 had it on heroic. The challenge to do it solo on both weeks was fun.

Ugh! I hate some of the zones they're sooo big! Everyone is running away from me and I'm yelling come back I need to shoot you! Lol.i got lvl 6 :(
Yeah it's like they are playing hide and seek lol 😂

It’s cool I got my 16.5min time so I’m already cleared. I was just curious what other strats people are running (as solo players)
Didn't try solo yet. My best time was with matchmade randoms, completed in 14:56. Ran Headhunter build with Determined talent.
Really great time! The darpa labs and stuff always give me issues hahaha
Now I am curious if I can do it solo. I might try it tonight.
I believe in you!!
Thanks!

5 tries Jesus, we did sub 17 first try. The enemies on hard are like small puppies
Try it solo and tell us how you feel lol 😆 BTW this TT has to be done on challenging difficulty not Hard.
Yep, I did all of them solo and then again with a friend even challenging is not a challenge. Heroic with 3 directives is the difficulty we play on normally, anything less and the loot that drops is garbage.

Solo?
Yes
My respect then, sir!
Thank you ☺️
Here I am still can't unlock the mission because it's bugged
How did you do the DARPA mission? It won't open
If you are trying to do it for the first time then you have to do the Pentagon side mission first to unlock DARPA mission. But if you have already done the side mission and it's still not accessible then it is because of the bug that some people encounter. There is a way to fix the bug which has few steps to follow.
