The first mission with super mutants in it. Those guys are tough, so its good that we get an APC for it, which is going to be our main striking force in this mission.

First we roll to the front line and from there to the Brimston squad last contact area in the trenches. First notice is about control bursts. They are easier performed from APC looking at the icon animation in the inventory, that's why I open it during some engagements. In the trenches you are supposed to find Burke, he is rigged by muties. It's better to disarm the explosive without talking to him first, because after the first talk the timer triggers and in case of a fail you may not just loose your expert but 1900 xp also. Always keep super tool kit ready with your mechanic in case the APC is critically hit and may be destroyed with the next successful hit. In this case immediately jump out with a mechanic and press repair using a hotkey “8”. Such risk, of exposing your team member, worth it because when you loose the APC you fail the mission. Also check your fire mode before leaning around the corner to shoot. In my case because of the excitement of the last stages of this mission moments I didn't and payed the price twice. Fortunately max endurance and obtained by that time “toughness” perk saved the day and I finished this mission on the first attempt. And the last thing to notice. Since this mission the most effective method against strong opponents becomes knocking them out and coming at a point blank after to finish them off. That's what you need your sniper for. Also notice that I didn't rush to the last mutant of this mission who was knocked out because I didn't know when he was. I didn't want him to wake up at the best moment for him which could become the worst for me. Also do not advance on Super Mutants Operation Center. They are too tough there for our squad yet. But we will return here later, this map remains the same after the mission accomplishment.
