AH12 HC (Boss Helicopter)
Chapter: 1.
Mission: Tampering.
Complexity: 7 / 10.
Passing the first boss will not be so easy: he appears at the end of the first mission, and this battle cannot be called a training one, because the AH12 HC does not forgive mistakes. The easiest way to deal as much damage to the helicopter boss as possible is to use melee. The algorithm of actions is as follows: they flew as close as possible, delivered several blows with the blade, dodged the attacks, and then repeated everything again. During combat, you can also effectively use shoulder gun, but for this you need to hover nearby and make accurate hits. If the helicopter begins to cause a lot of damage at a distance, then try to jump away from the affected area more often and attack with laser.
EB-0309: Wanderer (Eye)
Chapter: 1.
Mission: Destruction of a military mining ship.
Complexity: 4 / 10.
Defeating the Eye will not be difficult, because the destruction of the generators has already deprived him of part of his health. From lasers and boss missiles you have to dodge, so seize the moment, because in the future this skill will greatly simplify battles with other bosses. Also in battle, it is worth considering that the Eye is located at a great distance and it is safest to use it exclusively ranged weapon. In the most difficult moments, go into hiding and hide behind the terrain of the arena.
HA-T-102 Juggernaut (Tank)
Chapter: 1.
Mission: Operation Wallcrawler.
Complexity: 6 / 10.
The fight with this boss can be divided into conditional three stages:
- Phase 1 is the simplest, because an ally will live along its length. Use it as bait, and while it provokes the Juggernaut, attack the boss from the back, because it is not so easy to hit him in the forehead.
- Phase 2 starts immediately after the disappearance of an ally. Stay as close to the enemy as possible, fix the target and deliver precise strikes.
- Phase 3 will start at about a third of the boss's health, after which the tank will begin to scatter mines around it. The best tactic is to stay in the air and use missiles.
This enemy is easily knocked down, so always try to avoid the most dangerous attacks, and to deal damage it is better to use twin shotguns or rocket launcher.
AA P07 Balteus (Ruin)
Chapter: 1.
Mission: Attack on a guard post.
Complexity: 9 / 10.
This boss is considered one of the most difficult in the game, so in order to destroy it, you must strictly follow the following tips:
- force shield must be shot down as soon as possible, because it does not allow damage to health.
- Fastest possible break through the shield with rockets or a double shotgun.
- Filling stun scales will temporarily stun the boss and deal a lot of damage.
- The boss often fires numerous rockets, so you need to learn to dodge from them.
- At the end of the fight the enemy will pull out a fiery blade that causes monstrous damage, so try to keep your distance and attack the boss from afar.
If you can't kill AA P07, then try using a different set of weapons.
EC-0804 Smart Purifier (AC Grinder)
Chapter: 2.
Mission: Combat log.
Complexity: 5 / 10.
Experience with previous bosses will make defeating the AC Crusher much easier. To take less damage, try as long as possible stay in the air, and for the most damage, use the most heavy accessible weapons, and also do not forget stun the boss.

The best way to kill this pair of mechs is to use melee weapon и shoulder guns.
AA-602 (Catafract)
Chapter: 3.
Mission: Research data theft.
Complexity: 5 / 10.
The battle with this mech is very similar to the battle with the Smart Purifier model EC-0804, with the difference that this boss is much faster.
