You just need to destroy the marked targets. Shoot them.

I know, it appears as though it's supposed to be a stealth mission. It isn't.

why does the marked targets have a like interaction button thing

yeah that's the strange part, if for some reason you go undetected you can interract with all three tubes. That happened once to me and I don't know what allowed it. You need to do that to get the successful infiltration additional reward

These things are a nightmare and a half solo. If you somehow avoid being detected by the AI you can just interact with the three marked orange pillars. The AI, however, is very...... yeah. So when you DO get caught by it, you have to destroy the tanky pillars. And you can't go one centimeter "out of the area" or it fails you.

In co-op, these missions are a joke, and solo, these missions are just frustrating to do. So I'm literally ignoring them until I feel like switching my map to public.

I've been struggling with this as well. It almost seems impossible to do solo because as I went up to the first orange tube, it spawned enemies literally 5 feet from me. I THINK (and I could be completely wrong) that we might need Descendant Sharen to achieve infiltration. The active camouflage seems like it would be incredibly useful for this type of thing,

just kill the enemies, most of the time they will stop spawning and you can interact with the containers.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. The second I start killing the enemies, I become detected and lose the infiltration bonus reward

Kill the enemies from the outside of the area but leave one.when he walks round the front you run in the back and hit the generators for the bonus..ignore the folk saying just run in and kill everything if you want the bonus as theres amorphous materials you can get that way a lot earlyer

There are three pylons near the area. What you are supposed to do is interact with the pylons before the Infiltration. Every pylon adds 1 minute or so to quest timer. The less pylons you interact with, the faster you need to be at killing mobs. Basically kill everything, interact, then kill the boss that shows up.

It is not set up nor explained very well.

At some point amorpheous material stopped dropping from outpost, although chance is 20%. Anyone else facing same issue?

There's actually 2 versions of this mission... 1 in which you simply need to destroy the consoles for an elite to show up... which is rather painless and 1 in which you need to stealth hack them; the latter being almost impossible unless you have optical camo because the moment you are spotted you can't hack, there's a 10s CD on being non-detected once you break LoS but the areas are usually SO small you get detected everywhere...

If you have a duo... 1 person can agro ALL of the units and lead them away whilst the second takes place behind a console... the the leader has to burst down all of the units and the respawn window then allows the infiltrator to hack ONE console before respawning troops spot them again.... rince and repeat

Where did you saw that information? Trying to confirm it.

What I don't understand how additional rewards work, do you NEED to hack the tubes for it?

I think I figured this out. I also prefer to do this solo as random players tend to mess it up.

First thing you want to do before you start the mission is look around for additional surveillance towers. They shouldn’t be too far but you will have to explore the nearby area to find them. The icon for them looks like a little circle with two pillars below it.

When you look at the mission details it will show how many you found and the icon. Each tower you take down adds an additional minute to the mission timer. This helps a lot!

Once you disable all the towers you can go and start the mission. If you come up the side you can sometimes hack one of the terminals before you get spotted but usually you get spotted right away.

Once you are spotted you just have to kill all the enemy fast enough. I like to stay near one of the terminals while I take the enemies out. You an also use your radar thing in the corner to see where the enemies are at.

Once you get the last enemy the top message should change and small countdown starts. This is the tricky spot cause if there is still one more enemy and they see you then the process will start all over again. Although this never happen to me when I had the lobby set to private so I think when random players come around it throws the respawns off.

I hope this wasn’t too long and it makes sense. I been trying to figure out how to this damn mission and I think I finally got it lol
