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
