4.1: High-capacity flying drones called 'Reds' have invaded the city. They seem more advanced than what we've fought to date. Direct the three snipers stationed in the area and destroy the enemy, and support as needed.

Storyline
Storm Team and the snipers are in the middle of a town with the new drones flying overhead. HQ needlessly warns the soldiers, that these are new enemies and they should be careful. Soon after the fight starts an Aurora Situation Report reporter with the bad microphone will tell that more tunnel exits are appearing, the Ravagers are deploying quadruped fortresses and EDF is planning a large attack.

4.1 Changes
No changes.

Both Versions
5 Red Drones

Strategy
Bring weapons with high range and damage like sniper rifles.

It's a fairly short and straightforward mission with only five red drones flying. You can either keep your distance and let them attack the snipers first or find one of the many covers provided by the buildings. One good vantage point is one of the four L-shaped apartment building close to the spawn point. They have stairs that you can use and the railing, roof and walls on each floor provides good cover against fire.
