Main Missions in Clear Sky

The Main missions in Clear Sky form part of the storyline of the game and each main mission completed will guide the player through the story as it unfolds. Most of the main missions will have to be completed to be able to move on in the game. When a main mission has been completed the next main mission required to proceed in the game will be given to the player. The next mission will be shown on the player’s PDA and a red icon will be placed on the map showing the location of the next mission. A mission message will also be placed in the player’s log. The player can refer to these at any time for help. Main missions have a compass picture icon in the player’s log. Some missions with the compass icon in the player’s log are actually optional and are usually to do with special rewards or similar errands.

There are very few enemy kills that are required to complete main missions. With speed, agility and planning the player can often just head to the mission objective and do what is required to complete it. Sometimes killing enemies involved in a main mission will make the task easier to complete, but often it is not necessary to engage with enemies and take damage. When a main mission actually requires that the player has to kill an enemy, this is noted in the sections below.

Main missions should not be confused with Side Missions which are totally optional and do not have to be undertaken or completed.

In the following sections missions are not optional and have to be undertaken and completed unless noted otherwise.
