TACTICAL OBJECTIVE CHECKPOINTS
Step-by-step Hero walkthrough
Follow 4 documented checkpoints. Published objective sequences are distinguished from tactical recommendations. The available records do not establish a universal room-by-room route for every mission.
Jump to a checkpoint (4 steps)
- CHECKPOINT 01 OF 4
Secure the Separatist tech
Reach the security chest in the outpost and clear the nearby B1 droids. Hold shooting positions over the upper catwalks, where more dangerous droids can threaten the operator working the chest.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 02 OF 4
Use Safecracker
Move an operator with the needed interaction to the marked chest and activate Safecracker. The objective changes to a defense encounter; keep that operator protected rather than chasing targets across the map.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 03 OF 4
Defend for three stages
Prepare Overwatch toward the reinforcement doorway and protect the safecracker while the three-turn hack progresses. Counter incoming BX commandos, snipers and heavier droids from the safest available cover.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 04 OF 4
Extract all four
When the chip is secured, follow the extraction marker up to the elevated landing pad. Move every deployed operator into the zone and safeguard Kabb and Hawks. Do not keep farming droids once evacuation is available.

MISSION TROUBLESHOOTING
Stuck? Resolve the objective
The safecracker has finished but no victory screen appears
The observed mission has a defense period and then a separate extraction stage. Protect the operator handling the chest and check the new marker once the comm chip is secured.
Link to this answer ↗The squad is at the landing pad but extraction is not complete
The documented route requires every deployed operator at the elevated evac location. Bring all four, not just Kabb or Hawks, and check whether a straggler is outside the marked zone.
