The Forge Walkthrough

Objectives:
1	Meet Neenah at FBs After starting the mission, head towards the FBs to meet Neenah. Approach her outside of the fast food joint to properly begin the mission.
2	Steal the Helicopter You will be given a location to head to after meeting with Neenah. Hop into a car, then head to the locatino where there'll be a helicopter that you'll need to steal. You can ignore the guards that will shoot at you to try and stop you and take the helicopter up as soon as you're in it.
3	Go to the Scorpion Factory After getting the helicopter, head to the factory. Targets will pop up on the ground – destroy them all using either the helicopter's rockets or machine guns.
4	Land the Helicopter After several waves of targets have been destroyed, land the helicopter on to the factory roof. Get out of the chopper and interact with a small vent.
5	Enter the Scorpion Factory Once you've entered the factory, you'll be given several vehicles as targets for you to destroy.
6	Find the Forge Proceed along the pathways and onto the next area, where you'll be given even more Los Panteros vehicles to destroy. These will be protected by several Los Panteros members including Tough variants.
7	Buy Neenah Time After wiping out the vehicles and Los Panteros members, head to the next area with the Forge. You'll be tasked with interacting with several Relays while being assaulted by Los Panteros members. Knock out the enemies to buy Neenah time.
8	Escape Soon, Neenah will activate the main console and hop onto the monster truck below, driving it into the wall and causing it it to explode. Follow the map marker into an area with a car. Enemies will try to rush you and try to damage the car – clear them out to prevent any damage to the car, then enter the vehicle to end the mission.

Tips and Strategies

Push the Cars Off

When inside of the factory and tasked with destorying the various parked Los Panteros vehicles, you can push off vehicles that are on elevated platforms, causing them to crash into other cars to destroy them and thus saving you ammo.

You can also alternatively shoot out the cables holding the cars in place to cause the same effect, or shoot at any explosive barrel close to the vehicles for efficient destruction.

Pineapple Express Away

When you are at the section where you have to interact with several switches in the Forge, you will be assaulted by near-endless waves of Los Panteros enemies. To make things complicated, these enemies will have the ability to charge at you and are almost all armed with melee weapons.

Use the Pineapple Express skill to clear out any growing group of enemies to prevent them from disrupting you from interacting with the switches.
