Before we begin the walkthrough, it's worth noting that it will contain spoilers. So, if you don't want to know what happens, make sure to check out our other pages for the latest intel.

Solve the first steam valve puzzle

After you've cleared the hallway full of AI soldiers, you'll come across a wall with steam flowing out certain areas of the pipes. To navigate past this, one player needs to stay behind to operate the valve that controls the first jet of steam. Here's how to get past the first puzzle:

1. Let one player stay behind to turn the red valve.
2. The player climbing the pipe moves towards the second steam jet.
3. Turn the red valve again for the second jet to disappear.
4. Once a player has reached the top, turn the other valve, and regroup with your squadmates.

When you do regroup, a juggernaut will spawn in so be prepared for a fight.

Jump the vents

After navigating the steam jets, you'll need to navigate the vent flaps that only stay open for a few seconds. Here's how to make your way across and to the next objective.

1. Make your way to the centre console with your squadmates.
2. Press all three buttons at exactly the same time.
3. Jump across the vent flaps.
4. Head slightly to the right to reach the other side safely

Make sure two players don't jump on the same flap otherwise, it will close and you'll fall to your death. Move across one at a time then interact with the yellow rope to continue the mission.

The second vent puzzle

This vent puzzle is more difficult as there's no way to jump straight across the gap. You'll need to move up the yellow pipes then change sides by using the vent flaps. This is the order you need to follow:

• The first three.
• By the beginning of the yellow pipes.
• Jump before the flap opens so you land on it as it opens.
• The yellow pipes.
• Jump onto the flap in front of you.
• Make your way onto the opposite flap then move along the wall.
• The last flap will open below you.

After landing on the other side, move through the blue door, and eliminate the soldiers that appear. Make your way through the mine shaft, kill the rest of the opposition, then interact with the yellow rope to climb up to the next level.

The second valve puzzle

Next, you'll have another valve puzzle to complete. While two of you navigate the pipes, one must stay behind and operate the red valve just like earlier in the raid. Here's how to complete it as fast as possible:

1. Leave one player to operate the red valve.
2. Wait for the fire to stop then start climbing upwards.
3. Once you reach the top, use the other valve to allow the player at the bottom to regroup.

A few more enemies will appear. Clear them out and advance through the blue door. Then, head through the small hole in the floor and to the end of the pathway before opening another door which leads to the next step.

Dodge the gas

The most complicated step involves navigating a room full of gas. This requires plenty of co-ordination and if not done correctly, it can take plenty of time to solve. Thankfully, our step-by-step guide has all the intel you need to know.

1. Terminal one controls the ventilation in the room.
2. The second switches off the fans.
3. Terminal three opens a door.
4. Finally, the fourth terminal operates the door leading to the gas station.

Now you know how each of the four terminals work, here's how to finish the puzzle:
