Players will first start in the [[Rubicon Wastes]] just by the Firebase, and are then lead to the door by the tower. As they approach it, a Cabal alarm sounds, a squad of both [[Dust Giants]] and [[Forum:Bone Crushers|Bone Crusher]] Legionnaires will land outside of it and the door will open, revealing a [[Goliath Tank]], a smaller squad of Legionaries and a Centurion all within what appears to be a massive repair bay. The Goliath has a copious amount of health and Cabal foot soldiers will continue to spawn as long as it is still alive. After the tank is destroyed however, the Cabal will retreat, the alarms will cease and the furthest right door in the bay will open, allowing players access into [[Forum:The Barrows|The Barrows]]. | |||
=== | Upon entering, players will discover a rather active and bustling "railway" with multiple platforms and carts suspended on rails. Players here must successfully navigate the Barrows and reach the retrieval dock leading to the Occupied Terminus. While the platforms provide little for cover, they can carry more players, while carts provide great protection from [[Forum:Slug Carbine|Slug Carbine]]-armed Legionaries, can only support one. In this encounter, players will also note scattered placements of dormant Cabal Auto turrets. While initially dormant, if a cart-bound player gets detected by scattered lasers that scan the platforms, a lockdown will be put into effect and every cart will be stopped, all passage-way doors will slam shut and the turrets will activate and unleash a hail of slugs on the detected Guardian until they are eliminated. To avoid the detection lasers, players should immediately seek passage-ways and checkpoints either just above, below or beside the railway. Inside players may encounter a squad of Cabal, but usually nothing too difficult to face down. Nearing the end of the transit, laser grids will be replaced by individual or multiple moving lasers and safe rooms will become less and less common. As soon as the players reach the end and swiftly disembark their carts (as there is a final laser grid where the carts will continue into) and face off against a small squad of Cabal soldiers, among them, a few tough Ironclad Centurions. | ||
This encounter lacks a darkness zone, so players can progress at their own pace. In the many scattered safe rooms, however, players can find a Cabal terminal they can interact with. Activating all three of the nine scattered terminals in the transit area unlocks a door at the receiving dock at the end, opening up to the secret chest. However, the terminals that open the door are randomly placed across the terminus, so players should seldom expect to find the same combination to open the door in the end. As soon as all players reach the end, the massive Cabal door at the end should open and the team should finally arrive in the [[Forum:Invaded Cistern|Invaded Cistern]] and arrive to a platform overlooking a blue-shaded Vex chamber filled with Cabal technology and stacked crates. | |||
