BEFORE YOU DEPLOY
Mission briefing and unlock
Objective: Confront the Pykes
How to unlock: Kabb in roster; complete Buy Cheap, Never Sleep; resolve the Comm Relay Search decision/Operation.
Protect: Protect Kabb and the marked family objective. Follow the exact mission briefing rather than assuming every nearby civilian is optional.
The listed availability window is a community snapshot. Your live HoloTable timer, companion choices and mission survival requirements take priority.
TACTICAL OBJECTIVE CHECKPOINTS
Step-by-step Hero walkthrough
Follow 8 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 (8 steps)
- CHECKPOINT 01 OF 8
Resolve the chain before deploying to Mapuzo
Kabb must be recruited; complete Buy Cheap, Never Sleep and resolve Comm Relay Search before looking for Kith and Kin. The mission can expire, but a universal exact deadline has not been confirmed. Do not spend another Cycle while it is available if Kabb's family story matters to you.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 02 OF 8
Read the protection condition before firing
The objective is Protect Kabb's Family while eliminating Gatanus and the Pyke criminals. Kabb is the required operator and must survive. Start with a stable squad and keep an AP-efficient recovery option available rather than sending Kabb into the middle of the industrial yard.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 03 OF 8
Identify the generators and explosive barrels
An observed encounter places Pyke Strikers among crates and environmental hazards in a sandy industrial area. Pan the camera before the first action and check which generators or barrels are close enough to enemies for safe splash damage. Hazards are tactical opportunities, not required switches.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 04 OF 8
Thin the Pyke Strikers behind cover
Use an operator with a safe ranged angle to trigger a hazard near a clustered Striker, then finish wounded targets with an ally able to move back into cover. Avoid spending several exposed attacks on full-health Pyke units when an environmental hit or coordinated Backup can reduce their return fire.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 05 OF 8
Keep Kabb inside the support line
Position Kabb behind hard cover where he can contribute Backup or other support without being the closest target. Do not take an unnecessary exposed finishing shot with him. In the observed route, a support-focused Kabb and mobile damage dealers handle the scattered Strikers safely.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 06 OF 8
Concentrate attacks on Gatanus when the yard is controlled
Once the nearby Strikers are cleared, shift coordinated attacks to Gatanus. Check the live health bar and your remaining hazard options, then combine safe ranged attacks with a close-range finisher only when your melee operator can survive the counterattack.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 07 OF 8
Finish every marked Pyke criminal objective
Eliminating Gatanus alone may leave Defeat the Pyke Criminals incomplete. Locate remaining marked Strikers and complete both enemy objectives while preserving Kabb and the protected family condition. A named boss dying is not proof the mission has already ended.
Next checkpoint → - CHECKPOINT 08 OF 8
Confirm extraction and treat injuries
Let the victory objective and debrief resolve before returning to the Den. Recheck Kabb's recovery needs and current HoloTable availability. Kith and Kin is the documented end of this particular Kabb Hero chain, not permission to skip other operator stories.

MISSION TROUBLESHOOTING
Stuck? Resolve the objective
The Pyke Strikers overwhelm Kabb
An observed arena has electrical generators and explosive barrels near the attackers. Trigger environmental damage from safe range, clear smaller threats first and leave Kabb behind solid cover with a supporting teammate.
Link to this answer ↗Gatanus is eliminated but completion does not trigger
The mission also requires Defeat the Pyke Criminals while keeping Kabb and the protected family alive. Finish remaining marked Strikers and allow the debrief to resolve.
