Act 3 Campaign Walkthrough

Reported route: take the rope beyond the campers to Fairlight Outpost. The dark helipad needs power: enter the breaker facility, restore it and clear the landing-zone attack.[4]

Fairlight’s base/airfield is confirmed by the illustrated collectible route. Adam Stewart’s encounter guide identifies the first Armored Wretch stun in this chapter.[2][5]

If the landing objective is waiting on power, inspect the current Tac-Com task before searching the pad itself. Save a pickup pause for the camp approach rather than rushing straight downhill.

Reported route: use the crashed Raven’s radio, follow the temporary squad split to Cooper Station, then climb via the damaged trains toward the surface route.[4]

Boss: Corpser encounter guide.[3]

For Payback’s A Pitch, Stewart chainsawed the Armored Wretch responsible for the stun while his screen was still disoriented. His successful attempt was in this Corpser fight; he did not establish that chainsaw is the only valid method.[5]

Review the encounter’s own solution before spending ammunition. A familiar creature name is not a reason to copy a previous game’s boss strategy.

Reported route: use the alley back toward the stadium, clear its perimeter, then prepare the evacuation trucks at the hotel for the Fort Vigil convoy.[4]

This is a map exploration chapter. The hospital and civilians at the loading bay are useful sweep landmarks; the Blade-like Projectiles pickup requires the final side mission after the new flying enemy.[2]

Before preparing the convoy, review the map and secondary-objective checklist. A route back through familiar streets can still contain newly available tasks.

Reported route: the raised bridge stops the vehicles. Reach its upper-deck controls, lower it, and protect the convoy from above until the crossing opens.[4]

The control room also contains Kevin Garbor’s tags; the police vehicle below the bridge is the Locust Crest landmark.[2]

Activation and completion are different moments. Stay with the bridge-defense task until the objective changes, then regroup with the convoy.

Reported route: clear upper-floor and rooftop positions before moving civilians. Flank the sniper tower, clear the street below, then send the group toward Fort Vigil.[4]

The collectible route confirms the apartment, rooftops, downward street route and Torque Bow tower. The Explosive Bolt is at that tower’s top.[2]

Give the civilian group a safe destination before advancing it. For the tower encounter, take the covered flank rather than pausing in the exposed lane to exchange shots.

Reported opening: answer the Fort Vigil wall-defense call and use its mounted weapons against the assault.[4]

The GSC route continues through the fort’s main entrance while pursuing a Brumak, then through the gift shop.[6]

Commander’s Letter Home: down-left of Fort Vigil’s statue, by the red-lit truck, around the act transition.[2][6]

The Morith Harbor Snow Globe is inside the gift shop.[2]

Resupply · Mid-ramp · Gift shop · Low opening · Fight · Finishing scene.[7]

The recorded Brumak has a back-mounted launcher and sustained gunfire. Ben-Gun alternates rifle and Torque Bow shots from stone columns; Tai’s callouts ask Bravo to maintain fire and draw its attention.[7]

Difficulty, mandatory weapons, damage multipliers and fixed health phases are not established by this recording.[7]

Reload while sheltered and leave yourself a covered fallback when moving. Check the shop pickups before the last arena, and the boundary letter around the Act 3–4 transition.
