Chapter 3, Mission 2: Frantic Recovery.
****************************************
This mission starts atop one of the beams on the western bridge to Gunnery
Island. Samson wants you to capture a truck full of equipment that is moving
between Division research facilities. There's only one convoy to chase this
time, but you need to stop it before it reaches its destination and it is fast.
The truck itself is very tough, protected by an energy shield as well as its
own armor. You will need to throw objects at the truck to damage this shield
and take it down. On top of that the truck is being escorted by Comanches and
Hulkbuster Infantry and a lot of Abrams tanks are set up along its route to
pound you with their cannons. The route itself winds along the City's main
divided highway and then across several parks and city streets. Concrete
barriers are strung all along the route, so there won't be other traffic
slowing the truck and you'll have no shortage of objects to throw what with all
the City has to offer. Take out the truck's escorts quickly and then start
tossing objects at it. Remember to charge your throws for distance and that you
can throw while in the air. Thrown Clubs (Spears) are especially effective.
Don't go after the truck with your normal attacks- its shield will stop them
cold and damage you. Fortunately you don't have to deplete the truck's entire
life bar. After you hit it with enough objects the shield flickers and then
after several more hits it goes out completely. Now you can get the truck with
a Running Grab. Make sure the escorts are down and get it. Use Jump Markers as
needed to catch up to your quarry. Once you have the truck, three Comanches
will be after you trying to destroy it before you can escape. Even if you put
the truck down, they will still fire at it and it won't be moving fast either.
Just stay ahead of the choppers and get to the nearest Jump Marker. Once you've
used it, return the truck to the Church. Mission Complete. Save!
