2Hacking the locked crate takes 15 minutes and triggers a counter-attack from a Chinook with reinforcement scientists.
3Bring at least 10 medical syringes and plenty of ammo.
4Heavy scientists have 300 HP and deal high damage — use cover.
5The RHIB is faster and more durable than a motorboat for the approach.
6You can camp the locked crate from a defensible position during the hack timer.
7Scientists respawn in waves — be ready for 2-3 waves during the hack.
