Prepare The Base Area
Luckily, the area around the mission area can be built upon. Creating a base of operations and a sturdy defensive system when it’s just you is pivotal to completing the quest. Remember, you do NOT have to kill everyO.R.C. bug; you just have to have theMIX.Rsurvive the onslaught until the overheated bar fills up completely. The purpose of this part of the guide is to set up a strong defense to waste the O.R.C. army’s time in breaking down the MIX.R and what you’ll need most.

Last Minute Prep
The Bug Waves Begin
The waves will start with theWeevils, who will attempt to bomb your outer walls to weaken them for the larger, harder, harder-hitting bugs. Lure them away by using pebble spears and detonate them safely away from your defensive walls. These have no weaknesses as they have one purpose: to explode, touch them to set them off, and quickly dodge and block to avoid damage. The spiders will start appearing at this point. Hop onto youracorn turretand fire them down; you should be able to wipe out a majority, save for the largest one. There will be a very brief reprieve here, so hop off the turret and quickly do some repairs to any damaged spike traps and walls, as any used bombs will be gone.
In the next wave, two largeO.R.C. Ladybugswill appear along withRed Soldier Ants, some moreWeevils, and anOrb Weaver Spidermay also join the mix. Focus on the ladybugs first, as their bulk will break defenses faster than the ants or spiders. Smash them over the head or lure them away into a disrupter bomb. The ants can be handled by you and your mount, so jump on your buggy to take them down together.
In the final few waves, theScorpionsand thePraying Mantiswill arrive, signaling the near overload of theMIX.R. Wearing the Ladybug armor, aggravate the insects and lead them around the walls as much as possible, using your buggy andGreen Machine Smoothieto restore stamina. Consume yourScorpidote Smoothiein case you get poisoned by one of the tunneling scorpions as well. Soon enough, by the time the bugs do eat through your defenses, it will be too late, as they’ll barely be able to get any damage in before the MIX.R reaches its limit.
Once theMIX.Roverloads, the rest of the bug army will collapse and die, causing theStrangerto scream at you over coms before going away. The mission will be marked as a success, and you are unable to replay the mission. Now you may harvest the remains of the fallen O.R.C. bugs and salvage your base to regain your materials. Save yourlean-tofor last, depending on how far away your actual home base is. You may need to make a few trips if you want to take as much back as possible. The advice here is to transport all your newly harvested drops first and then come back for raw materials.
