There's a lot of whiplash going from R1C1 as the only other reactor mission most people have done at this point, going to R2D2 which changes up a lot of stuff (like the reactor being at the beginning and the map is explored *during* the reactor instead of before), and is substantially harder, but once you've done this you'll know the loop for other reactor missions (: R1C1 is the outlier, every other reactor is more like R2D2, but not as long. The main difficulty of R2D2 is that the game hasn't properly taught you normal reactor missions yet and it's just such a long mission with tons of waves, so it's more of a test of mental endurance. If you want, R3A3 is like an easier version of this level and may help you warm up. You got this! Edit: sorry for the wall of text already, but I think you'll want longer range weapons for a reactor level, and I don't think scatter fits in very well. If you want something that can obliterate giants or hybrids at range maybe try burst cannon, 2 bursts can kill a giant or hybrid from the front or 1 burst to the back/head. Rifle is basically long range pistol though so no complaints there, it's a solid reactor weapon. And finally, to cap off this wall of text (I'm sorry) I would wait until there's about 20-30 seconds left before putting the code in on the 'Go find the code/Time until reset' phase, so that you have more time to set up and loot, because when you put the code in it skips that peaceful, no enemies spawning time. I'm sure you'll figure the rest out. Hope this helps (:

Its top 25 really but really fun when you learn it.
Took me and my bro (with 2 bots) 8 tries.
17:41 "Yeah it's not that hard." I'm guessing that it will take your team more than 10 attempts to clear this mission. Best of luck!
