Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey is a unique Grade 4 mission assigned by GSO. It has been in the game since it's release.

Synopsis
GSO has detected a mysterious thermal signature in a specified region. They request the player's help to investigate. However, the search doesn't go smooth......

Strategy
Bird of Prey is a mix of "Crate Ambush" and the "Destroy Tech group" mission types. The initial objective is to investigate the thermal signature, which is really a crashed Hawkeye landing pod with a wrecked Tech inside. Nothing will be available to salvage. As soon as it's approached, however, three Hawkeye Techs spawn. They are all named "Cleanup Crew" and the rest of the mission revolves around defeating them.

There is not much in tactics, just bring many weapons and wear them down with enough electricity stocked for your defenses.

Trivia

 * This is the only License-Acquisition mission that does not feature the respective representative NPC, as Sergeant Smash is entirely absent and only appears multiple times in later Hawkeye Black-Op Missions.
 * Bird of Prey is a term that is usually used to describe a Carnivorous bird, referring to Hawkeye directly.
 * Since GSO knows nothing about this mission, it unknown why they are asking for the player to investigate. Though it can be assumed that the cleanup crew are supposedly covering up something that the GSO is not supposed to know.
