wat do, /v/?

 

Bring plenty of healing items, remeber to dodge or block attacks (personaly i completely forgot the new blocking mechanics), bringing a ranged weapon helps but you cant completely rely on it (not enof energy).

If you make it to the end theres a machine you activate to finish the mission.

 

another strategy is that its completely possible to run straight past everything

 

yyup, tried "run straight, pass everything" strategy. and it worked.

 

I'm not totally sure what was supposed to be hard about the Mining Facility, but then again I have some tricks and happened to luck out weapon-wise. (Namely, I found a Bonehammer on the first Desert World I flitted off to for Sand to do that stupid coffee quest chain.) The Mooninites tend to go for Flesh Splatter first, which while it does hit like a truck now does so over multiple hits, so vaulting over them while they're using that attack then closing in for the melee tends to work wonders. Even if you do get hit it should only be in the 13-25 damage per hit range. Other than that just remember to bring healing items.

 

My strategy was to open up with a ranged weapon from afar, if you hit one with a ranged weapon before they've all noticed you then that one guy will attack you by himself, and usually I was able to kill one with my bow before it got close enough to attack. But if they got in close I was usually able to one shot them with a melee weapon. It was slow and steady work, only broken by occasionally fighting to keep the non-hostile people alive, but it worked.

And with those two few big guys I simply camped in a spot they couldn't reach me lol
