Into the Darkness

is the second mission of Operation: Tempest of Co-Op Campaign. The players assumes the role of Pixel One. After eliminating a majority of the hostiles in Area 52, the task force is sent behind enemy lines to investigate the true origins of the hostiles.
== Synopsis ==
The two Pixel elements awaited for the trucks to stop to their destinations. Inside, Greylight informs the task force that they are currently inside an abandoned silver mine about 20 clicks from their location. A few moments later, the truck finally stops where the drivers dispatch and mingle about a "meeting" inside the cave. Greylight suggests that the mine was used as a staging ground for the attack and recommends that the task force must sneak into the cave to get more intel. The two teams then sneaked out of the trucks avoiding outer patrols. The cave entrance was guarded by several sentries under a bright floodlight. Pixel 3-1 attempts to figure out a way to get past until the light flickers; sparking an idea. The task force could disable the generator powering the light to get the guards' attention. One of the members from Pixel One disables the generator, baiting two of the guards to investigate. The two guards were quickly dispatch of while the other three guards were also quietly eliminated. After dealing with the lightly guarded entrance, they move the bodies out of sight and infiltrated deeper in the mining camp under the cover of the darkness. The task force realized that an entire operation center was set up inside the mine. They invade more patrols while gaining valuable intel from communication posts, documents, and a hard drive containing contracts of those involved in the attack. However, their cover was blown after Greylight's drone has been detected and was shot down. The command post went on full alert and the two teams make a grand escape out of the cave. The team detonates charges on the command post's reactor which covered the base in a blanket of darkness. The team rushes out while dealing with stiff resistance of waves of the technologically advanced soldiers to the surface, where they managed to hijack one of their helicopters and escaped to a lake to be extracted.
==Trivia==
*It is the first mission to feature stealth as a requirement as any breaking stealth in any moments other than the end would instantly fail the mission.
**The mission is therefore the least played mission in Co-Op mode due to the requirement.
