Go to Maliwan camp / Get heavy armor [2]

Once you’ve accepted the mission, head over to the waypoint on the map and take out any enemies that try to bother you in the Maliwan camp. Unfortunately, there isn’t any heavy armours available so this step will eventually get skipped.

Get oversphere thrusters [2] / Get jetpacks [2]

Now head over to the next marked area on the map and take out some more enemies whilst listening to the dialogue. Like the previous step there isn’t any oversphere thrusters and jetpacks available so these steps will also get skipped.

Get flash trooper backpacks [2] / Get swords [2]

Kill the Flash Troopers, and pick up their backpacks from the floor.

It’s now time to go over to the third marked area on the map where you’ll find two flash troopers, kill them and then collect their backpacks from the floor.

Unfortunately, the swords are unobtainable as well so this step will get skipped.

Get flamethrowers [2]

Like the previous items, you’re unable to obtain any flamethrowers so this step will be skipped.
