COMPLETION TIME:

Difficulty Recommendations (For your first playthrough):
Solo: Normal
2-3 Players: Heroic
3-4 Players: Legendary
Extra Challenge (for the sadists): Enable Skulls

Gameplay Tips:
1. LHB digs up more gold weapons when you move around the map (camping lowers the loot rate)
2. Instead of running for cover, try breaking one of the golden crystal nodes to recharge your shield
3. The air support teleporter can be used once per round. It consumes your weapons upon activation but not equipment.
4. If you have extra power weapons, give them to your allies (especially before calling air-support)
5. Defend the central turret from the covenant. It can be very deadly turned against you.
6. The Extra Heavy Gold weapons only spawn after the first set. (these can also be found before starting the firefight)
7. Extra grenades and equipment spawn each round

Firefight Details:
The FIREFIGHT has 2 SETS comprised of 8 ROUNDS. Each round will spawn more advanced enemy types and each encounter is uniquely randomized for a varied game experience. Checkpoints are awarded at the end of each round. All the really big guns debut in the second set and the firefight concludes with a dramatic boss encounter.


Each playthrough will have a unique combination of experiences. You will not experience every rare encounter or try every weapon in a single run.
