From here on the fight remains entirely identical, except for the floor panels that flip up to emit fire when he has about a third HP left.Ĭompletion of 'Reactor Battle' rewards the player character with the Crusader rank, with which they can access the Valix Belt and its challenges, as well as the challenges on Torval.

These can still be blocked by the Holoshields however, which is convenient as he follows it up with his standard blaster attack. When he has lost about a third of his HP he retreats to the second arena section, after which he starts sending forth directed energy blasts that leave behind damaging blue energy on the floor. He follows this attack up with a charge, which you can at least dodge, which he then follows up with a ground slam causing a short shockwave. You cannot dodge it normally by strafing and will either need to keep moving backwards while flipping from side to side, or simply place down a Holoshield. Reactor will begin by sending forth a rapid-fire spray of blasts in your direction from his palm. The fourth node is located past the floating platforms and is only defended by a slight group of Swarmers and accompanying DZ Vipers.

The third node is closeby as well, which will be defended by Shriekers and another leviathan. More Swarmers, Vipers await here, along with another Executioner and a leviathan. Capturing the first bolt crank will adjust the glowing grind rail, which leads to the second node. The timer is essentially a non-issue, so focus on destroying all enemies starting with the Swarmer and DZ Viper spawns along with the Executioners. This time you must capture four nodes within four minutes. Round five only sees the latter two, but in immense numbers, after which the challenge ends. Round four features more Reapers, as well as Swarmers and Vipers. Small Beam Turrets and a few nanotech crates drop in round three, with the former dropping in quick succession with enough spread to be able to cover most of the arena, so seeking cover is recommended. Most of round one only contains Claw Tooth Swarmer and a few DZ Vipers (the Crusader variant of the DZ Berserker), while round two introduces a few Reapers. You should also be using either the Napalm Mod or the Mini-Bomb Mod. It will automatically restore ammunition, but you should avoid spamming it regardless to ensure you have enough ammunition to immediately destroy the more dangerous enemies. If you haven't purchased it yet you receive it for free temporarily, but it remains at V1 and cannot be upgraded. You will only have access to the Hunter Mine Launcher for this challenge, which is otherwise a simple arena challenge of five rounds without Merc and Green.
