Ideal weapons:
- Heavy Bomber Phobos Plan 4 for initial massacre
- ZERA-GUN to pretend it kills anything in inferno
- Anti-Aircraft Bunker ME, best thing I could find to keep me alive until the Nix arrives
- Nix Red Armor, best exoskeleton to use here under level 70. Still the revolver (R1 on PS4) has damage falloff so take this into consideration.
Weapons should be almost fully upgraded to succeed, or at least will improve a LOT your chances
Armor: 1000+
Can't be done with base armor, due to how hectic the mission is, it's extremely difficult not to be hit, specially by drones.
Plan:
I tried several weapons to see if this mission could be done reliably with weapon limits (level 70 for this mission, it's the weapons level you can get here and in previous ones). It's still hard specially at the start but this combination was the best I could find.
The ZERA is almost junk in inferno and won't kill much, but it was the least bad of all level 70 turrets. The drones can eat you alive in secs, ants when they arrive too.
Throw immediately Phobos to front, capture NPCs and try to fall back. If you stay at the start position you'll die when the ants arrive. While rolling back put in succession the shields, and when reaching them drop ZERAs and activate. If you gathered points try to use again Phobos.
You should try to send Phobos slightly to left and right to hit Colonists that will come from both directions (none will come from front, so the objective is to try to hit them).
ASAP summon exoskeleton and enter it. When enough enemies have dies, a new wave of spiders will com from left, try to use Phobos on them.
When you're in the Nix jump backwards to right from start, as the 2 Grim Reaper squads will come this way and you need them. Help in what you can your rangers to survive until the GR show up. If they die, you'll likely die next. Check when you can reuse ZERA and Phobos. Summon new Nix when possible.
Joining the Grim Reaper squads is not easy. They move like crazy and managing to get the leader inside the Nix capture ring is sometimes quite hard. Still you need them, so do your best to pick both squads. Rangers should be all dead or just 1or 2 alive, they'll recover at the very end.
Get rid of remaining colonists, they have plasmas and these can do major damage to you and NPCs, and when Rangers are dead they'll focus on you and GRs.
Transports will start dropping ants and 3 queen ants will come from the buildings area. If you can install ZERAs to help with the first wave of ants which is more powerful. Then focus on queen ants. Use Phobos if possible, and advance to them to kill the 3, you'll take more advantage of the revolver and you'll last longer than NPCs, so it's better that you do this than wait for GRs to be slaughtered by the queens. Use all Nix firepower on them, they'll be gone in a snap.
All that will remain is the 3 transports dropping ants and 2 red drones. Don't let guard down, a single ant can kill you with 1000 health, and red drone attack can do the same. Take down 2 of the transports when you can, as safely as possible. Cannister shots from Nix Red are great for this.
Killing the 2 red drones will be a major PITA. ZERAs will help, some lucky cannister shots too. When they're are dead and no ants are alive, the Rangers will respawn.
At this point just sit the Nix under the last transport exactly where ants fall, you don't need to do anything else. Photo below shows the spot, but it's extremely easy to figure.
Ants will be massacred by the Grim Reapers and Rangers as soon as they fall from the transports. Due to the large capture ring, all crates will be automatically picked. I left the PS4 alone running for 30 minutes, Nix had not even lost 10k armor, there were just 3 crates immediately outside the ring area, all other ones were picked.
Auto-farming is NOT in the video, but frankly it's a joke compared to what had to be done before. I stopped it when there was just the 2 red drones and the last transport, I'm always afraid to be near or over the 15 minutes auto recording limit of the PS4.
