Use D Rounds to Shoot the Enemies

Use D Rounds to Shoot Enemies

Use the cannons to shoot the enemies using D Rounds. This will unlock a warp on the position of the top enemy. Go inside the warp to access the next map and don't forget to grab the Elite Investigator Supply Box along the way.

Protect the Drill Rig for 9 Waves

Don

Similar to the first map, you'll have to use the cannons to shoot D Rounds against enemies to prevent them from going inside the two fissures which are portals to the drill rig.

However, there are 6 rows where enemies will spawn making this a harder challenge than the previous map. Defeated enemies also give you Gear Coins that you can use.

If enemies go inside the fissure and damage the drill rig 12 times, you will have to retry this part of the commission although, you get to keep the Gear Coins that you earned in the previous attempt.

Use the Engineering Device to Unlock Launch Buttons

Engineering Device

After finishing the first wave, an engineering device will spawn down the map which can unlock two launch buttons for 1500 Gear Coins.

Launch buttons will allow you to use DDD Rounds which can eliminate enemies in a row.

It is highly recommended to unlock buttons each time you get enough coins as waves get harder.

Utilize the Launch Buttons to Deal with Multiple Enemies

Use the Launch Buttons on Enemies Near Each Other

During later waves, there will be points where some enemies will be next to each other as they approach near the fissure.

Use the Launch Buttons that you unlocked to attack the whole row where the launch button is positioned to eliminate all enemies currently in that row.

Note that once you press a launch button, they will be unusable and you will need to reset them on the engineering device by paying 1500 Gear Coins if you want to use them again.

Obtain Firework Show Achievement

Purchasing and unlocking all the launch buttons for all the cannons will help you obtain the Firework Show Achievement.

List of All Achievements

Leave the Hollow

Leave the Hollow

After you survive the 9 waves, go to the top of the drill rig to initiate a battle. After completing the battle, go right and this will unlock the final map where you can obtain three observation data and two Senior Supply Boxes.

Note that you can only get two senior supply boxes when you cleared all Golden Bangboos and the Drill Rig didn't get damaged even once.

After getting all the items in the area, exit the map to complete the commission.

there is no beating this thing when the stupid enemies won't stop making it to the drill i can't move fast enough and the stupid buttons won't recharge quick enough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3AVlPlKOB0 This can be followed step by step to get all the items. The first time Golden Bangboos appear, two of them manage to escape so you don't need to bomb every single one.
