Objectives
[edit] Complete all 9 Targets of Opportunity
[edit] Acquire All Mires Waypoints!
Mires Explorer: Acquire all of the AFS Waypoints on Mires.
Note: the Tahrendra Watch waypoint is difficult to get to and appears to be impossible because there is no access on the map and there is a rock wall where you would expect a path. If you jump up randomly on the left side of this collapsed cave entrance, get some height, then jump back to the middle and try to angle into the cave on the fall, you can manage to get behind the rubble and in the cave where the waypoint is. It is also worth noting the only way to get to this Tahrendra Base area is an obscure path to the right when you exit the tunnel from the Bailey's Blunder waypoint.

Dialogue
[edit] Briefing
- You can wait for great opportunities, or you can seize a common occurrence and make it great. Weak soldiers wait for opportunities, strong soldiers make them.
- You want to make a name for yourself? Maybe even get a commendation placed in your permanent record? Keep an eye out for those opportunities and seize them!
- Keep your eyes open out there on the battlefield and you'll know what I'm talking about when the time comes. Make me proud!
[edit] Debriefing
- You're one of the finest natural born solders I've everseen come out of Boot Camp! If you keep taking advantage of your opportunities the way you have here on Mires, you're going to go far.
- I'll tell you, a few hundred more solders with yourgrit and we could take Earth back and send the Bane straight to Hell, where they belong!

Walkthrough
[edit] Enemies
Destroying the Machinery at 339, 270, -282 (part of the mission Tick, Tick, Tick...) spawns 4-10 Copper and Zinc Barb Ticks. The machinery will regenerate shortly after you've dealt with them all so it's easy to get this objective quickly.
There are also two Beam Manta Floaters by the Barb Tick Machinery at 339, 270, -282. These are significantly easier to kill than the Beam Manta Glider Captains you will find around 200, 250, -230 and respawn frequently.
Flaregashers are fairly rare on Mires. However, you will at least 10 while completing Party Gashers, so no hunting is required.
[edit] Bane Officers
Most of the bane officers are handled by other missions:
- Tharvox is a target in Practical Engineering. He is just outside the north end of Bailey's Blunder and next to the Location Logos.
- Phost'Benon is the target of The Shootist. He spawns by the entrance to the Energy Weapon Center.
- Defiler Jemmert is found southeast of Outpost Condor. (He replaced Dedarrlik).
- Honjerhyn is the victim of the mission Miner's Apprentice. He spawns on the bridge next to the Bane Fluxite Mines entrance.
- Rendobar is hunted in Bane Ace. He spawns by the big circular building near the Bane Fluxite Mines and is a predator.
- Ista Kezever is a target in Black Helicopters. He stands across the river to the west of the Energy Weapon Center, by a downed dropship.
- Vilescorn spawns on the bridge to Tahrendra Base
