Marine Walkthrough: M6
M6. Alien Containment Disrupted
On a few isolated fronts, an armed human contingent has been identified as hostile to the Marine effort. These independent forces are thought to be industrial bounty hunters out to steal Weyland-Yutani speciments and bio-weapons research materials.
Elsewhere, on all fronts, the Predator presence has increased dramatically since the three Cloakers were destroyed and their base was uncloaked.
Predator attacks in most sectors have thinned Marine troops and crippled Alien containment efforts. Aliens now run unchecked in key stronghold sectors due to the Predator interference.
With Predator forces confounding Marine efforts around the globe, Bravo Squad is to initiate a two-mission offensive directed at their nerve center: the Predator base itself. Air reconnaissance of the enemy base has been foiled by Predator ground forces and an array of anti-aircraft cannons in this adjacent sector. Your current mission starts here, in this sector bordering the enemy base. You are to wipe out all Predator anti-aircraft cannons in preparation of a major initiative against their base.

Look at all the credits you start with! I’d recommend maxing out troops before going for the upgrades. Since you are fighting strong Predators, SADAR troops and Infantry are good, as well as a Synthetic or two to detect them past their cloaks. Pack up your Sentry Guns, as they are also helpful for defending Atmos you may find. It may be tempting to order an Exosuit, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you really want it, then just get one, but it really is a waste of credits and population at this point.
You should completely avoid the Alien Hive to the west. Instead, head north and slightly west towards the first Anti-Air Gun. Each Anti-Air Gun is protected by several Predguns and Predators, so take caution in attacking each one and order more troops any time you need to. With the first one destroyed, head east and enter the cave through the east entrance. In here, there are hostile Marines you have to fight. There aren’t too many Marines in here, and they may be occupied fighting Aliens anyways.
When you exit this cave, head east. Delta Squad is there, and is a good addition to your present fighting forces. Now use the map provided to help you find the other four Anti-Air Guns. With the Delta Squad, you shouldn’t have much trouble, but order more troops if you think you’re doing badly. Also, I would advise not attacking the Shrine in the northeast corner of the map, as it is heavily defended and you would most likely lose all your troops in doing so. When all five Anti-Air Guns are destroyed, the level is complete.
