Preparation

Before you startedit Before you start

Prerequisites

  • • Exo Suit from the Galleria
  • • A Goliath suit drop to reach the underwater switch

Walkthrough

Step by step

  1. 01

    Open the secret room

    Shoot the three Tidal Generator stairwell valves until each indicator turns blue, then interact twice with the revealed terminal.

  2. 02

    Reroute underwater power

    Depressurize the Lounge door, enter the flooded route in a Goliath suit and operate the distant switch.

    The next round begins Oz’s drone trial. Destroy each empty drone before it can leave the map.

  3. 03

    Charge the capacitor

    Bring electric zombies near the Galleria capacitor so their attacks charge it, then finish the following Contact Grenade challenge.

    Warning: Electric attacks disable Exo movement; thin the ordinary horde before charging the capacitor.

  4. 04

    Clear the movement trials

    Complete the temporary platform route from spawn and survive the next round without letting the movement-cost challenge stop the team.

  5. 05

    Solve the screen sequence

    Repeat the changing color sequence on the Reception monitors, then survive Oz’s friendly-fire challenge.

    Tip: The monitor order changes between matches; watch the current sequence instead of memorizing a fixed code.

  6. 06

    Match the number panel

    Use Exo Slam, jumping, purchases and zombie kills to make the Tidal Generator panel match its target digits; finish the MAHEM-only challenge.

  7. 07

    Enter Oz’s memory

    Activate the Tidal Generator terminal again and survive the memory sequence to complete Reunion.

    The memory recreates Outbreak’s spawn area. Hold through its zombie waves until the dialogue and finale return the team to Descent.

Following along in-game? Switch to Guided Mode for one step at a time on a screen you can read at arm's length.
