The Advanced Guild VTOL is a jet-type boss that moves slowly while circling but speeds up sharply when it attacks. It uses short, rapid bullet volleys to pressure you during each pass.

How to fight it

Stay alert while it circles, dodge its sudden fast passes, use shock devices to slow it down, and build steady damage until it becomes weak enough to finish with the EN12N EMP.

Step-by-step guide to defeat it

Step 1: Watch its slow movement

Track it while it circles calmly around the arena.

Step 2: Find the grenade launcher in the mission area

Take the grenade launcher when you enter the top area — it will be right in front of you.

Step 3: Use the grenade launcher

It deals heavy burst damage, so fire it when the VTOL slows during its circling phase.

Step 5: Use the Black Hat device

Hit the VTOL with the Black Hat’s electric damage pulse.
This reduces its armor little by little and helps push it toward the final phase.

Step 6: Dodge the fast attack

Move diagonally when it speeds up and fires its burst volley.

Step 7: Use EN12N Experimental EMP

Deploy the EN12N at the end. The wide EMP pulse overloads the VTOL and destroys it completely.

Tips

  • Watch the timing of its burst volleys to avoid getting hit.
  • Move at angles instead of straight lines during its fast run.
  • Use Black Hat early to shorten its attack passes.
  • SMGs work well when the VTOL slows after shocks.
  • Save the EN12N for the final blow to finish it safely.
