One Fell Swoop Walkthrough

Objective 1: Sabotage Sol's Production Facility

# Walkthrough
1 Talk to Zadra at her lab.
2
Travel to Sol’s production facility and eliminate all enemies at the entrance.
3
Further along the entrance, there will be a large door tinted with green. Be careful once you approach the door as it will open and two Bulkheads will immediately attack you.
4 After killing the Bulkheads, enter the facility lobby and clear the succeeding areas filled with enemies.
5
As you progress further into the facility, you will see a Bio-Bulkhead contained in a chamber. Access the terminal in front of the glass to hack it.
6
Advance to the next room and eliminate all enemies there. Go to the synth processor at the center and open it. Then, with your weapon pointed between the gap, shoot the core to destroy it.
7 Meet Zadra back at the lobby to take the elevator to stop the airship.

Objective 2: Stop Sol's Airship

# Walkthrough
1
Clear the area with Zadra. Afterwards, Zadra will ask you to try shooting a door, which will have no effect. To look for another entry point, look up and take the vent. Inside, take a right and drop down. Break the vent open and drop into the lab.
2
Clear the lab and approach the Locust dispenser to get an explosive sample. Throw the sample at the nearby armored door to blow it up.
3 Return to Zadra and destroy another armored door to reach the airship.
4
Slide down to reach the boss arena of the Bio-Bulkhead. With the Locust dispensers in the area, use the samples to briefly disable its armored skin.
5 After beating the boss, go to the airship. Once you arrive there, however, it will be too late. Teleport back to The Howl to return to Outbounders HQ.

Objective 3: Stop Sol's Locust Attack

# Walkthrough
1 At Outbounders HQ, find and help Rush but be careful of being hit by Corrosion.
2
After bringing Rush to safety, go to the HQ bunker to reactivate the fast travel station. Remove the debris by using the grappling hook. Zadra will arrive after the station is activated.
3
Leave the bunker and find a way to enter the airship. In a short while, the airship will emit a tractor beam. Stand in it to float into the ship.
4 Inside, locate the terminal to eject thermal capacitors. It is not necessary to kill all enemies here. Then, destroy three of the critical systems around the ship to bring it down.
5 After destroying all three, immediately jump down the hole you came from to escape. You only have 27 seconds to leave.
