    Aaron Keener mission

    The Aaron Keener mission is way to difficult. Impossible is more like it there is no way to beat mission. It's way to hard to take down the missile before it gets launched while defending off every defence gadget in the game while we only get 2 that has a count down timer. You guys could have made it just a "little bit" easier.

    I couldn't even get past James Dragov and his two buddies. I had to go make an entirely new character just so I could keep playing, because my original character, with it's **** build, is now stuck forever in New York.

    Last night was the first time I had run this mission since story mode.
    Random MM for heroic mission and ended up in this.
    We completed it but it was pretty tough.

    Jammer pulse works very well on the missle part, I just used it on a dps build and it helped a lot, so I expect a good skill build with it will work very well. Works great on the razorback part too.

    Have to admit though I actually enjoyed the mission with how tough it was throughout, many parts were a good test.

    I don't think so. I have done the mission several times solo (story, normal and hard mode) and it goes very well. The higher modes (challenging, and above) are tricky and I don't get to the end (with my current gear).

    So PLEASE don't change anything on difficulty for the lower modes. They are working.

    At the moment are all heroic missions to tough.

    Hey devildave1986,

    I also struggled with the Keener mission and I ended up asking people in the community to help me get through.
    Each time I initially bust his armor and was getting somewhere, he would heal back up again.
    Have you tried playing it with other people ? Or maybe ask someone for a build which helped them defeat him?

    This mission took me quite a few frustrating goes, I didn't find it hard at all through the mission until I got to Keener. The best way that I found for me was to level up and get some better gear, Keener will probably level up with you but it helped me.

    Memorise the order of the skills he throws out and what skill it is and where it lands, this will help a lot. Once you have hacked the first thing you need to hack immediately move around to the next one, no time to hang around, Once you get to the last thing to hack stay behind some cover it's quite tall with a red or yellow covering, shoot the first part of the rocket from there, then move quickly towards the first thing you hacked and shoot the rocket again. Once the rocket has been destroyed immediately run up onto the higher ground near the door in which you entered the final part. If you need too you can then run inside the room and take cover, Seeker mines will still get to you but a lot of the other skills can't so you nullify a lot of his attack. Once he heals you know you are halfway to beating him so play smart and keep shooting him.

    What? Why ask the community? I mean you WORK for UbiSoft right? Why not go upto the Devs, batter your eye-lids and kindly ask them for the cheat codes that the Heroic AI uses, to lay waste to the players?

    Because real gamers don't cheat.

    It is tough, but you can either rush him at the beginning of that part of the mission and don't give him time to use his skills, or at the back of the area there is a room where you can rest up and wear him down bit by bit once you have stopped the launch.

    And we should want the Ubisoft employed players to not be playing with the aid of insider information. Because THAT is what leads balance to be horrible. Many think the root of the problems in this game is that Massive/Ubisoft don't even play their own game, or when they do they are playing it with things the average player isn't going to have. Whether that be knowledge of the mission layout, spawn locations, secret mechanics, etc.

    So I applaud UbiToon for not even trying to leverage information or aid that is not accessible to the public.
