Chapter 4, Mission 1: Clean Sweep.
***********************************

Blonsky and Ross are really out to get you this time. Their machines aren't
doing the job, so they've resorted to polluting the air with a gas that is
lethal to gamma mutants. Fortunately, they're still cutting through all the red
tape necessary to release this toxin, so you have the chance to grab the three
canisters they've placed in the City and dispose of them before they can
dispose of you. To do that, you will need to toss them into the water
surrounding this borough. Each canister is heavily guarded, so get ready for
some tough fights.

The mission starts with you under attack by a Destroyer Hulkbuster. Unlike the
one you fought before, this one has tank cannons instead of lasers. It still
has its grab attacks, pile driver punches, and missiles. Its life bar is a lot
shorter too. It can stay on you quite effectively though, with thrusters and
hydraulics. Pound it with combos and thrown objects, aiming for the missile
launchers on the mech's shoulders before going after the body. You can
Hitchhike on the Destroyer's back if you've bought that move, but pound it
quickly if you do- the mech can and will throw you off. Punching and throwing
back the mech's own missiles is highly effective- do this if you have mastered
those moves. You can also Elbow Drop off a building onto it for a lot of
damage- if you can get things set up right. Once the Destroyer's down, search
for green orbs to up your life bar- a good source is the ambulances which
randomly appear on the streets. Also break down a truck and get yourself a
Shield.

The first gas pod is in front of the Mandarin Grand Mews in Chinatown. It's
guarded by another Destroyer, who you will want to lure away from it. Harry him
with thrown objects and ignore the gas pod for now- its release countdown does
not start until you pick it up. Two Comanches will attack also- Cyclone Skyjack
them out of the sky. Now smack down the concrete barriers and grab that gas
pod. A hidden timer immediately starts counting down and the pod broadcasts
warnings- quickly run for the ocean to the west. Once you get there the game
prompts you to Hammer Throw the pod but this is not necessary. Just jump out
over the ocean and use the grab button to drop it. Once the pod hits the water,
it goes inert. Whew.

Your second target is in the western half of the city. To reach it quickly use
the nearby Jump Marker to go to the Dyne. Again, restore your health and pick
up a Shield on the way there. Two Comanches attack once you get close to the
pod and as you near it, you will see two Destroyers there also. Fighting two of
these big mechs isn't much different from fighting one- just repeat a hit and
run attack using charged-up combos and thrown objects. A crane parked near the
north Destroyer offers a convienent Ball and Chain. Concentrate on one mech,
then the other, until both are defeated. Each releases a lot of green orbs upon
destruction, so you can use them to keep your life high. Now grab that pod and
again bound west and toss it into the ocean. Move fast- three warnings and you
are dead!

The final gas pod is on Gunnery Island. You don't want to use the Jump Marker
to get there though- instead Jump to Midtown Tower and cross a bridge. As with
the last one, this pod is defended by two Comanches and two Destroyers. MRLS
tanks also are guarding the bridges, and these will respawn after you get the
order to pick up the pod. Smash one and retool its Missile Pack if you can,
missiles are very damaging against the Destroyers. Whatever you do, make sure
both big mechs are down before you grab the pod. You don't want one of them
knocking it out of your hands. Once you have it, hightail it to the nearest
ocean (west once again) and heave ho. Mission Complete, save your game.
