There's a Voeld side mission as part of Know Your Enemy. It's listed as "Kett communication station", but in-game the characters call it "entrance to the kett command center". So I assume it has some significance.
Playing insanity, the station is exceptionally difficult. I can't find any reference to it in walkthrough videos, except at easy difficulty. If anyone has defeated this site at insanity, I'd appreciate some advice.
The first problem is the site is huge. A sniper rifle has trouble shooting from one end to the other. Each side has a high platform shooting down on any enemy, wide defenses guarding the front, and an open rear with reinforcements. A lot of enemies, all with line of site on all approaches. Wherever you assault from, you are in a crossfire.
Each of those four areas starts off with a pair of anointeds and a few others, so they are well protected. Anywhere you park the nomad nearby is in full range and it will soon blow up, so it has to be parked back and you go on foot. That takes time and you are in the open the whole way.
The next problem is there is no warm spot anywhere except inside the main building. That means a long slog in the open against a lot of enemies while your life support bleeds away. If you use a sniper rifle to eliminate the worst enemies, you'll have to give up before you can mount an assault for lack of life support. If you charge in, the pair of anointeds at close range will take you down.
I tried charging right into the building, to take the cold out of the equation. Problem there is that you are in a crossfire and all the enemies from both sides swarm in on you.
I've tried various forms of run and gun, and always can make progress, but always run out of life support before I can get to the building.
Has anyone defeated this site in insanity? I'd sure like to know how you did it.
