ObjectivesEdit
Survive the Omega ambushes by killing their leaders.
- Survive Hera's squad : 0/1
- Survive Minerva's squad : 0/1
- Survive Ceresia's squad : 0/1
- Survive Helicon's squad : 0/1
- "Atlas has a huge price on your head and has ordered their most elite units, the Omega Assassins, to find and kill you. Athena has warned you that there will be four more teams. You don't know where or when they'll strike, but you know they're coming. Survive."
StrategyEdit
The Vault hunters will first be attacked by a squad of Lance Assassins while doing the mission Boost the Monster. Upon approaching the empty lot that contains the Nitrous Oxide Tank for that mission, a Crimson Lance assault pod will launch in the distance and quickly land in the area, disgorging a team of Lance Assassins and their squad leader, Vulcana. The assassins move very quickly and attack with little warning, rushing in to attack with red plasma swords. Vulcana is a Badass-level foe, very likely equipped with a Shield and dropping additional loot.
Upon defeating them, Athena will make contact through an ECHO message. She will state: "An Omega-Senshu order has been issued for you. There will be 5 teams assembled to guarantee the objective is successful. That was the first. The Omegas are relentless and highly trained, the elite's elite. The only advantage you have is that their top operative recently... left their employ. Stay alert. Athena out."
At this point, the mission is received. The squads will then appear at four predetermined locations during progress through the DLC. Like Vulcana's squad, each has its own Badass leader.
Some of the encounters can be problematic, with little room to run. Care should be taken to stay away from edges to deep chasms as the assassins can knock characters into such an abyss. The ambushes at the Crimson Tollway and the Ridgeway barricades can be partially avoided by jumping back down onto the road and using the homing rockets of a Monster to shoot any nearby assassins on the structures above.
CompletionEdit
- "Dear Atlas, is that all you got? Signed, the vault hunters."
NotesEdit
- It is possible to obtain this mission from other players in cooperative games. If this mission is activated before even meeting and fighting Vulcana's squad, it is possible that Vulcana and her Assassins will not spawn.
- The turn-in location is at the control panel of the first Crimson Tollway block. Check on the wall on the opposite direction of the control panel where there are four "Wanted" posters. Pressing the action button will turn in the mission. This leaves a note to Atlas, pictured above.
- When fighting Hera's squad outside of Moxxi's, don't kill any bandits in the second section after you dismount your vehicle. The bandits hate her squad as much as you. Go into the area far enough to spawn the assassins and retreat to the area that you have already cleared out, the bandits will take out most, if not all, of the lower assassins before being killed, leaving Hera as your only opponent.
TriviaEdit
- This ending scene of the mission shows a little more about the characters. For example, it can be seen that Lilith writes in cursive (with hearts and a kiss), Roland neatly prints with block capitals, Mordecai writes a fast scribble, and Brick's text is a child-like scrawl.
- The knife looks like Roland's, and could be a Crimson Lance standard issue knife.
- Lilith signs her name with three L's (Lillith).
- Underneath Mordecai's poster there is a hand-written note offering an added reward of "Another million for that annoying bird".
