Use cover and stay mobile; Rocketeers fire high-damage explosive rounds from above. Aim for weak points near the propulsion units to stagger and bring them down.
Once destroyed, loot the Rocketeer Driver from the wreckage.
Return to Shani to complete the mission and claim the rewards.
Out of the Shadows: Tips
- Bring long-range weapons like a rifle or energy launcher to counter aerial enemies.
- Avoid open fields; find natural cover like rocks or wrecks to dodge missile fire.
- Look for nearby crates after the fight for extra drops or components.
- If the fight feels overwhelming, retreat and re-engage strategically after healing.
