Campaign & missions
Protect allies, earn mission awards and prepare the squad. Start with the mission you are actually failing; rank and medal conditions are not interchangeable.
Find the right starting point.
For a first clear, resolve the objective that ends your run. For a rank or medal, compare attempts on the same difficulty and retain the result screen. The mission guides below separate reported successes from unverified thresholds.
- Allies dying in Mission 8? Prioritize the ground threats and check ammunition.
- Mission 14 medal missing? Compare detection through the ending, not just missile launches.
- Mission 28 returning A? Compare the Shadow phase, ammunition and difficulty before adopting a score target.
