Nuclear Missile Silo run
A one-way drop through a blast hatch into a garrison of heavy scientists, with no way back up until you clear it.

Overview
Missile Silo is the most committal monument in the game. The hatch opens for about twenty seconds, you jump in, and it closes behind you. There is no bailing out halfway. Everything below is heavy scientists with night vision.
Clear the surface
There are roughly four blue-kitted scientists on top. Clear them and loot the hangars, trucks and towers before you open anything — you will not be coming back up this way for a while.
Swipe red at the blockhouse
The card reader is in the building by the large communications tower. Swipe red, then press the red button.
Jump in before the hatch closes
The central blast doors open for about twenty seconds. Jump onto the platforms immediately. Do not touch the doors as they close — contact is fatal, and the entrance is one-way.
- This is the point of no return. Being caught in the closing hatch kills instantly.
Descend floor by floor
Work down by stairs and the elevators — the call panels glow. Heavy scientists with night vision hold each floor. Flashbangs through a doorway before entry make a real difference. Loot the offices and lobbies as you go.
Take the bottom level
The lowest floor, lit red, is the garage and truck bay: elite crates, around three diesel barrels, advanced blueprint fragments and the countdown laptop. Do not linger next to the warhead — radiation there is extreme even in a hazmat.
Check the cameras, then leave
On the way back up, the security checkpoint has CCTV screens covering the tower, both exits, shipping and the missile room. Use them before you surface, then press the red button for the exit-only blast door.
