Undawn's Weekly Special Ops

Completing Undawn's daily Lost City missions earns players rewards and resources. But if you're an old hand at PvE play, then the Lost City might seem just a bit too easy. So you'll be glad to hear that the Lost City isn't the toughest PvE option available in Undawn. For a bigger challenge, take a look at a weekly Special Op, instead. So, what are the weekly Special Ops and what challenges will you face in them? Let's take a quick look!

**King's Station**

In King's Station, the player needs to defend their teammates as they complete four stages: playing a minigame, defending a stronghold, fighting off a horde of enemies, and defeating the final boss. This all involves some pretty intense combat. The Groundsmasher boss is also a tough opponent. The crystals on its body are weak points and take double damage, but it also has a range of attacks and an area skill, so make sure you're always ready to dash for cover.

**Recommended Loadout**

Weapons: Automatic rifles, light machine guns

Expertise: Assault, explosives, support

Skills: Decoy Bomb, Molotov Cocktail, Healing Device, Automatic Turret

Drone: Bombs, healing

King's Station is a complex environment and will require a full loadout. What you actually need will depend on your strengths, but Decoy Bomb is strongly recommended.

**Assault on the Refinery**

This one is relatively straightforward. All enemies are human NPCs, and you won't be seeing any other enemy types. You might be glad to see the back of high-HP creatures, but don't forget that armed human NPCs can hit you harder from further away. This whole operation, including the final armed helicopter, will test your ability to use cover and to time your attacks.

**Recommended Loadout**

Weapons: Sniper rifles, automatic rifles

Expertise: Bombardment, support

Skills: Stun Grenade, Homing Grenade, Healing Device, Automatic Turret

Drone: Bombs, healing

The entire operation is a sniper's paradise. On arrival, seize the high ground from any enemies and you'll be able to mop up your opponents much faster.

**Secret Lab**

The Secret Lab isn't too complicated, either. It's mostly about destroying targets, with only two possible problems: The first of these is when you're defending the device. You'll face tougher opposition at this stage and you won't be able to spread out as much as you might hope. This is because you'll need to maintain a presence next to what you're guarding. The second is at the final boss, the Hatcher. It lays eggs periodically, with a chance of powerful monsters hatching from them. So if you see any eggs, make sure to smash them quickly!

**Recommended Loadout**

Weapons: Automatic rifles, shotgun

Expertise: Assault, bombardment, support

Skills: Decoy Bomb, Molotov Cocktail, Healing Device, Automatic Turret, Automatic Flamethrower

Drone: Bombs, healing

The shotgun comes into its own in the Secret Lab, particularly when dealing heavy damage to the eggs on the ground. You'll also need all your healing abilities, as the end of the operation will take you into a radioactive zone. Overall, the Secret Lab doesn't require a whole lot of strategy, so long as you have enough firepower.

**Conclusion**

None of the three weekly Special Ops that are currently available are easy, so you'll need to ensure that your stats, skills, and loadout are all up to the task. But even if your equipment isn't as powerful as you might hope, a regular team will help you. Good chemistry between you and your buddies will make clearing the missions much easier. Tougher challenges also have bigger rewards at the end... if you can get there!
