When you get dropped off, quickly look to the left, switch to your pistol, and headshot the two [[Unggoy|Grunts]] who are trying to flank you. Switch your [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] for the [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] one of them drops, and clear the remaining Covenant using the [[Noob Combo]] that you just picked up. There will be plenty of Plasma Pistols, so don't worry about running out of ammo. If you prefer, you can use the Needler, but the [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] will be a problem. Use grenades as appropriate. Most of the time, all of your Marines will die.

As you leave the substation, you will have a rough-in with 5-6 stealth Elites. They don't have shields, even on Legendary, so they will die to headshots. Alternatively, you can stick them, and if you have an overshield, you can simply run past them.

At the end of the first tunnel (if you go by the cutscene, you can jump with an overshield to the lower floor to the cartographer unharmed), you will find a Major Elite working with a drop pod; use this opportunity to assassinate him. Note the location of the door, but do not use it. Instead, go up the ramp to the “balcony”, quietly, and kill the sleeping Grunts. You will not be able to kill all of the enemies in this room without alerting them, so be ready for a fight.
