The Blacksite vial needs to be researched in the Shadow Chamber. After grabbing the vial, head to the extraction zone at the back and exit. There are no reinforcements in this mission until you approach the vial, so you can take it slow right up to the end. You then either fight or stealth your way in to the facility (though accomplishing this mission entirely through stealth is likely to be very difficult), steal a vial of an alien substance, then extract. You must contact the region it's in to attempt it, then infiltrate the mission to 100% before you can launch it. The Long War Blacksite mission is very similar to the vanilla version. Completing your first liberation reveals an alien Blacksite in an uncontacted region. Regional HQs have a lot of powerful enemies, but no time limit, so bring your big guns and take it slow and eliminate all enemies. It also reveals the ADVENT regional HQ and allows you to assault it. Completing your first network tower assault reveals information about the Avatar Project, including the doom clock, and allows finding and assaulting alien research facilities. Regional network tower assaults are quite difficult missions, with a soft timer where reinforcements will appear more and more rapidly until you hack the objective. You can liberate any region, it doesn't need to be your starting one.Īfter liberation 3, you'll unlock the network tower assault for that region. Finding and completing liberation 1 to 3 may take some time, so it's likely that you'll make some progress contacting other regions and building up your force before you manage it. After that, liberation 3 will spawn, which is also clearly marked as a liberation mission and will be a VIP assassination or destroying a relay, and will also be harder than usual. This will silently cause Liberation 2 missions to spawn in that region, which you must again detect with rebels on the Intel job.Īfter completing liberation 1 you need to keep scanning for liberation 2, which will be clearly marked as a liberation mission, and will be a VIP extraction or rescue. You start this by setting haven rebels to the Intel job and detecting a liberation 1 mission, which will be a hack or recover mission with a Find a Lead reward, but no Intel Package listed. Unlike vanilla, where the Blacksite is presented to you after a short time, in Long War 2 your first objective is to liberate a region. Objectives Liberating a Region Liberation 1
