  • **Mission 3: The Flood Returns** – First Flood encounter. Use the new Incendiary Cannon (spawns in the armory at the halfway point). Fire does 2x damage to Flood spore forms.
  • **Mission 5: The Ark's Secret** – Boss fight: The Harbinger. Phase 1: shoot her shield orbs (3 hits each). Phase 2: use the gravity hammer to break her guard (2 charged swings). ### Act 2: The Broken Circle (Missions 6–10)
  • **Mission 7: The Glass Sea** – Vehicle section. Drive the new Scorpion Mark II. It has a coaxial machine gun (hold right trigger). One-shot Grunts, two-shot Elites on Legendary.
  • **Mission 9: The Library Reborn** – Linear corridor. Watch for explosive barrels. Use the plasma pistol to overcharge shields, then a precision weapon for headshots. ### Act 3: Rebirth (Missions 11–14)
  • **Mission 12: The Core** – Defend the reactor for 4 minutes. Place the two fusion coils at the marked points. Use the sentinel beam to clear waves.
