Blitz

When the Core Lord Admiral is killed, the mission is complete. Shooting the triggers first to blitz the mission is possible, but not recommended due to very high incoming damage.

Tip

For Missile Folks a good supply of F.O.F may work well while dampened.

Structures

No Loot from Structures.

Loot and Bounty

Loot + Salvage: ~16.5 mil
Bounty: ~18- 22.5 mil

Additional Info

Although rare, there could be a Shadow Serpentis Battleship along with the final spawn, with the usual chance for faction items drop and higher bounty.
