1. Melee the Red Button

2. Pull the Left Lever

3. Flip the Right Switch

4. Pull the Left Lever

5. Shoot the Panel

If you follow these exactly, the door will open, letting you and your crew access the next phase.

⚙ Tips for Success

• Make sure you’re fairly high level / well-equipped before trying this mission — there are several combat waves.

• Use cover on the rooftop; anticipate being attacked from multiple directions once you start placing charges.

• For the traveling safe part: unlock fast travel / safehouses in Carcadia Burn to ease the journey.
