Campaign mission
How to Complete Entrenched
Entrenched is the beta’s campaign mission: a South Korean marine push through trenches to keep a nuclear power station from falling. It is linear. If you stop to farm spawns, it never ends. This is the short procedure. The longer beat-by-beat sits on the walkthrough. IGN’s 17-minute PS5 Pro capture is in the middle of this page so you can match the valve to the picture.
The route
Push the northern trench after the air strike. Do not hold the first ditch. Move with armor toward the plant. When Echo platoon is pinned, clear the vehicle that has them stuck. Take the wheel when Park is told to drive; stay with the convoy. Enter the plant, fight to the control room, start the shutdown.
Reactor 2 is the first door on the right at the end of the walkway. Drop into the reactor. When coolant tanks rupture, find the yellow pipeline — not the grey ones — and open the emergency valve to flood the core. Stay on the objective until it ticks, then extract with West. That is the mission.
Failure points
- Camping spawn waves instead of pushing the yellow objective
- Missing the right-hand Reactor 2 door
- Looking at grey pipes for the valve
- Leaving the valve early to shoot
