The Authority Headquarters will be on the Northern part of the map, in the Spineshatter Peak region. It is North of Wellspring, and West of the Wilds region.

The Xerxes vehicle is required for this mission in order for you to gain access to the Headquarters. Using the Xerxes will allow to safely enter the HQ. Get the Xerxes from the Story Mission "Beneath The Surface".

Watch Out For Obstacles On The Road
Watch out for obstacles on the road as you head further into the HQ. These obstacles are usually explosive objects, so make sure to blow them up while you're still far away, or avoid them entirely!
Prioritize Vehicles Over Infantry
Make sure to prioritize destroying enemy vehicles over enemy infantry. Enemy vehicles will do much more damage to your Xerxes III so make sure to destroy them first in order minimize incoming damage.
7. Use Xerxes Turrets Before Getting Off
Before getting off the Xerxes, make sure to shoot your cannons at enemies in order to wipe out a huge number of opposition. This way, you will only need to kill fewer amounts of enemies on foot!
7~9. Defeating Enemies On Foot - Tips
Recommended Weapon: Shotgun
This section of the mission will have you pass through multiple narrow corridors, forcing you to fight in close quarters with enemies. You can get up close and personal with the Shotgun since it is strong at point-blank range!

The game will punish you for standing still. Keep moving to become a harder target and so that enemies will not be able to focus their fire on you!
Keep An Eye Out For Pink Cabinets
Before moving on to the next area of the headquarters, make sure to scout the area for Pink Cabinets. Approaching them will automatically open them and reveal ammunition and items that you can pick up for aid!
10. Defeating The Cyber Crusher - Tips
Recommended Weapon: Assault Rifle
The Assault Rifle is a high DPS weapon that will melt the lifebar of the Cyber Crusher due to its combo of strong damage, and fast fire rate. Use the Assault Rifle to quickly deal with the Cyber Crusher.
Focus Fire On The Blue Chest Piece
At first, the Cyber Crusher will be impervious damage. You will need to shoot at its glowing blue chest piece in order to stagger it, and expose its weak points.
Shoot At Blue Cylinders Once Staggered
Once you stagger the Cyber Crusher, it will reveal a pair of Blue Cylinders on its backside. Immediately shoot at these in order to quickly bring down the HP of the Cyber Crusher.
Cyber Crusher Has 2 Blue Cylinders
The Cyber Crusher will have 2 blue cylinders. One on each side of its back. Completely destroying these two will make it vulnerable to damage.
Shoot At Its Head Once Cylinders Are Destroyed
After destroying both Cylinders, immediately take aim and fire at the Cyber Crusher's head. Using a high DPS weapon like the Assault Rifle will deal massive damage and will quickly defeat the Cyber Crusher.
13. Defeating The Colossal Titan - Tips
Recommended Weapon - Assault Rifle
Much like the Cyber Crusher, the Colossal Titan can be beaten by focusing your fire on its weak points. These weak points glow blue and are featured all over its body. Having a strong weapon with a fast fire rate will melt the Titan's HP.
Weak Points Glow Blue
| Phase | Weak Point Locations |
|---|---|
| 1 |  2 Weak Points on either arm |
| 2 |  2 Weak Points on its collar |
| 3 |  1 Weak Point on its head |
The fight with the Titan will consist of three phases. A phase ends when the Titan steps back, and fodder enemies rush at you. Keep in mind which phase of the fight you are in to immediately find the weak points of the Titan.
Use Shotgun For Fodder Enemies
The Shotgun will be useful for when the fodder enemies rush at you. The Shotgun's damage at point-blank range will be very helpful since a ton of enemies will be rushing at you.
Nanotrite Abilities Can Help You Control Crowds
Nanotrite Abilities such as the Slam and Overdrive will allow you to control massive crowds of enemies. These abilities can help you take care of a large number of enemies so that you won't be easily overrun.
Jump Over Titan's Shockwaves
Once the Titan slams its fist on the ground, it will create a shockwave that damages you if you come in contact with it. It is easy to evade this by jumping upwards.
Run Away From Homing Rockets
Keep an eye out for rockets that the Titan launches once it slams its fist on the ground. You can evade this by dashing away.
