Complete Walkthrough
Objective 1: Reach the Overlook
Your mission begins at a heavily fortified Pax Armata outpost standing between you and the main stronghold. This opening segment tests your combat skills immediately.
Strategy Tips:
- Clear enemies systematically using cover-to-cover advancement
- Use long-range weapons to thin enemy numbers before closing distance
- Conserve special equipment for the missile sites ahead
- Regroup with your squad and wait for Gecko’s airstrike callout

Objective 2: Disable the NXC Launchers
This is the mission’s most challenging segment, requiring you to neutralize two hypersonic missile silos—Alpha and Bravo.
Alpha Silo Attack:
- Engage the Pax jet using a rocket launcher (aim for critical hit zones)
- Push toward the Alpha control station while managing enemy resistance
- Disable the first missile system
Bravo Silo Assault:
- Expect heavier fortifications and armored enemies
- Fight through defenders to reach the Bravo control room
- Work with Hemlock to disable the second missile
- Note: This silo is significantly more fortified than Alpha
Pro Tip: Stock up on anti-vehicle weaponry before approaching either silo. Running out of rockets mid-assault can turn this objective into a nightmare.
Objective 3: Find and Capture Kincaid
With the missiles neutralized, your squad must locate and eliminate high-value target Alex Kincaid. Navigate through the bunker complex, clearing resistance as you advance toward the control room.
The Plot Twist: Once captured, Kincaid reveals a stunning conspiracy—Mills and a CIA mole orchestrated the entire Pax Armata operation. Before he can elaborate, Hemlock executes him on Mills’ orders, confirming the betrayal from within.
This narrative twist recontextualizes the entire campaign, making Always Forward more than just an action finale—it’s a revelation mission that sets up potential sequel storylines.
Objective 4: Escape the Bunker
The most intense objective arrives last. Mills has severed all communications with Dagger squad and called in an airstrike to eliminate everyone who knows the truth.
Escape Sequence:
- Fight your way out of the bunker against time
- Navigate collapsing corridors and enemy resistance
- Reach the rooftop extraction point
- The facility explodes as you escape, concluding the campaign
This segment combines frantic gunplay with environmental hazards, creating genuine tension as the countdown to destruction ticks away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I replay Always Forward to change the outcome or save Kincaid?
A: No, Always Forward follows a linear narrative with predetermined story beats. Kincaid’s execution and Mills’ betrayal are scripted events that cannot be altered regardless of player choices. However, replaying the mission on higher difficulties unlocks additional achievements and allows you to complete optional challenges you may have missed during your first playthrough.
Q: What’s the recommended difficulty for completing Always Forward on the first attempt?
A: Normal difficulty provides the best balance for first-time players, giving you room to learn enemy patterns without overwhelming frustration. The NXC launcher segments and bunker escape are challenging even on Normal. If you’ve mastered earlier campaign missions and want maximum challenge, Hard difficulty offers intense combat that rewards tactical play and precision. Avoid starting on Hardcore unless you’ve completed the campaign previously—the escape sequence becomes brutally unforgiving with limited health regeneration.
