    Shoot alarm operators before they reach a wall alarm, and destroy an alarm box only when the objective explicitly requires it.

  5. Step 05

    Preserve mission-critical scientists, hostages and allies by clearing their next room before triggering their movement.

Secrets & field notes

Optional knowledge for safer runs and fuller completion.

Objective scaling

Always open the watch briefing after changing difficulty because added objectives can alter the entire route.

Alarm discipline

Destroy alarms only when safe; stray explosives near terminals, scientists or hostages can fail objectives.

Multiplayer fundamentals

Learn armor and weapon spawn locations, keep moving and avoid repeatedly entering the same contested room.

05

Questions players ask

Direct answers to common progression blocks.

Why does the mission end even though I reached the exit?

At least one required objective was incomplete or failed. Check the watch screen before leaving.

What changes on higher difficulties?

Enemies become more dangerous and missions add objectives, items, rooms or characters that must be handled.

How do I unlock bonus missions?

Aztec and Egyptian are tied to completing the main missions at the required higher difficulty levels.
