Confidential Data & Illegal Broadcasts Walkthrough: High-XP Side Objectives Guide
Tactical Assessment: Secondary Objective Mastery
Completing Tactical Objectives (blue map markers) awards substantial Requisition Slips, Squad Experience, and Galactic War impact upon successful extraction. Mastering rapid clearance methods allows your squad to complete 100% full-map clearances without burning reinforcement budgets.
1. Illegal Broadcast Towers (The 300-Meter Snipe)
Illegal Broadcast towers emit seditious anti-Super Earth propaganda transmissions. While you can interact with the ground terminal to manually purge the broadcast sequence, veteran operators complete this objective instantly from hundreds of meters away:
- Long-Range Kinetic Destruction: The broadcast antenna mast possesses fragile destructive physics. A single shot from an Autocannon (AC-8), Quasar Cannon (LAS-99), Anti-Materiel Rifle, or EAT-17 directly into the top transmission screen detonates the tower instantly.
- Tactical Time Saved: Sniping the tower across mountain ranges triggers objective completion without deploying your squad inside local enemy outpost patrols.
2. Radar Stations (Global Map Reconnaissance)
Radar Stations reveal the location of every Point of Interest (POI), sample deposit container, Super Credit drop pod, and unmapped side objective across the entire deployment grid.
| Step | Field Action | Audio/Visual Cue |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Power Boot | Activate the primary terminal screen at the base. | Hydraulic motor hum engages. |
| 2. Dish Alignment | Rotate the manual dish crank wheel clockwise. | Terminal displays desired heading degree (e.g. 180°). |
| 3. Audio Confirmation | Listen for high-pitched dual tone chime when dish aligns. | Immediate distinctive “ping” plays; stop rotating. |
| 4. Uplink Complete | Return to terminal and submit final confirmation. | Entire map updates with diamond icons for all loot. |
3. SEAF Artillery: Shell Identification & Optimization
Loading the SEAF Artillery tactical gun awards 5 heavy artillery support call-ins. The effectiveness of this stratagem is completely dictated by which ammunition shells you load into the battery chamber:
Shell Priority Hierarchy
- Mini-Nuke (Black / Olive Gold Tip): The ultimate explosive payload. Triggers a miniature Hellbomb mushroom cloud with extreme blast radius. Neutralizes entire Automaton Heavy Fortresses in a single blast.
- High Explosive (Yellow): High structural and armored target destruction. Excellent for clearing Bile Titans and clusters of Hulks.
- Static Field (Blue): Freezes all enemies in a wide electromagnetic field for 20 seconds. Superb for defense missions.
- Smoke (Grey) & Napalm (Red): Situational utility; napalm creates a persistent wall of flame, while smoke breaks gunship and laser line-of-sight.
4. Upload Escape Pod Data (Confidential Transmissions)
Locating downed Super Earth escape pods grants Requisition slips and war data medals. Ensure your team maintains defensive perimeter angles; activating the upload terminal triggers an automatic alert ping to nearby patrol formations.
