Walk down the alley and head down the stairs to the left. A bunch of debris will fall to block your way but just kick it out of the way to continue. At the bottom, go through the door on the left. Pull yourself out of this next hallway and you'll pass by a body before coming to an area with a large burning tree. Several Grubs will move into position on the far side of the area. If you take the left side rather than going all the way down the stairs, you should have a pretty clear view of your enemies and you should be able to flank them easily.
After this first group is taken care of, go down the stairs and straight ahead. You'll see your convoy off to the right and a giant glowing Glowing Omen on the wall. Walk near it to activate it.
| Declassify |
| "Kilo Squad claimed to encounter unknown Locust variant." Dark Wretches replace normal Wretches. |
| While they are called "Dark" Wretches, they are better known as Lambent Wretches. Just try keep some distance when killing them or jump back just before they explode after their death. |
Aside from Wretches, you'll also have to deal with Grubs and possibly Boomers. If you start moving up the right side, a team of snipers is likely to spawn on the far side of the convoy. If they do, wait for a volley from them and then sprint over to attack them. Inside their nest you should be able to cut through them with ease. Be careful of Wretches however because chainsawing them (if you have the Declassify active) will result in an explosion that will damage you. However, even on Hardcore, you can chainsaw two Lambent Wretches before needing to recover but you should still be careful.
Work your way through this area by going around the outsides. When you start to get to the back corner, an E-hole will appear that could block your path and a Boomer will likely get out. Toss a grenade into it to close the hole and hopefully kill the enemies before they are fully out. With them taken care of, you should be safe. Go up to the last house on the right and in the yard by the building should be your first [COG Tag]. Hit down on the D-Pad to find out where you're headed and go there to finish the mission.
