Walkthrough[]
Eliminate the pair of corsairs ahead and use the Swingshot to traverse across the waters onto a pirate ship occupied by more corsairs. Utilize the platform at the end to ascend to the top and then zipline to another ship where additional corsairs await. They will quickly receive reinforcements in the form of buccaneers. Once you defeat them, two swabs will approach from a distance, allowing you ample time to prepare your strategy. Cross the bridge from which the swabs appeared and you will encounter a blocking duo of buccaneers, followed by a much larger group. Their proximity makes them ideal targets for the powerful Tornado Launcher or any other area-of-effect weapon of your choosing.
Upon entering the bar room, multiple corsairs will attack from different positions within the room. Keep moving to avoid being flanked and rely on the auto-aim feature of the Predator Launcher to handle them. Defeating them will trigger a descending platform carrying three more corsairs who conveniently group together. Ride the platform to the top and eliminate the trio of corsairs, as well as the buccaneers arriving on a ship. Jump onto the ship yourself and wait for it to reach its destination, the Blackstar Memorial Radio Tower. During the wait, a buccaneer will intermittently enter the deck through a door, but they can be easily dealt with.
Upon arrival, you can replenish your ammo at a weapon vendor. Subsequently, you will face off against a miniboss known as a rogue. Rogues are immobile but heavily armored pirates who attack by ejecting large cannonballs. The cannonballs may either bounce and roll toward you or remain stationary, exploding in a small shockwave. The Predator Launcher, particularly when equipped with the Dual Target Detectors upgrade, is reasonably strong against it. Alternatively, the Nano-Swarmers and Buzz Blades can swiftly eliminate the rogue on their own.
Following the rogue's defeat, do not forget to collect the raritanium from the three chests in the room on the right before exiting through the central door, triggering a cutscene and concluding the mission. Back at your ship, you have the option to travel to Rykan V. On the way, you will be intercepted by pirates, initiating the mission "Evade the Pirate Fleet".
