To get into the main part of Sector 10 you must first pass the first fence. The first fence, directly in front of where you start raids, should be gone through with care. The left and right posts are armed and will cause you to instantly die if you go too near them, keep close to the center post and you will be fine. | To get into the main part of Sector 10 you must first pass the first fence.

Once past the first fence you will start encountering aliens. The first type of alien you will probably encounter is your bog standard ensigns and generals. Sector 10 ensigns (the type IIs even more so) have quite high HP for their level; however they are honestly quite easy on their own, even solo. There might also be an alien larvae or two around here, so use the device you picked up on the mission on them, alien larvae are nasty little buggers and can hit upwards of 2k. Generals and Alien Comm Officers are capable of uncalming mobs nearby, so be sure to calm/kill them asap. They can and will pose a problem at times, when they uncalm everything and create chaos. Recalm nearby mobs as quickly as possible, and focus on killing the Gen/Comm Officer. | Once past the first fence you will start encountering aliens.

These do no damage however they must be killed as they cast AoE [[Engineer Guide#Terms & Concepts|snare]]s, they have little HP so rangers should fire from a distance at them to minimize the amount of people snared. If you get snared please use free movement stims as fast as possible, especially if you are a support healer as the [[AoE]] snare also lowers nano init. |

The raid force should then carry on following the same path until they reach a point where the area widens. There are no branches in the ravine until the wide space except for the first left. There will be no monsters other that the ones previously mentioned. | The raid force should then carry on following the same path until they reach a point where the area widens.

The Boss. The Middle boss has 2 tricks up his sleeve, and both involve spawning things. The first thing he will spawn are Alien Defense Systems, little balls that nuke underneath themselves for 20k. Crats and fixers should spam the boss with AoE snares as soon as these balls are spawned. Targeting the boss while casting the snare will affect all the balls. The second spawn is multiple Alien Larvae. Crats should AoE calm these (nearly 100% chance of calming), and then the team should use beacons on them asap. This boss has a 1 hour respawn. | The Boss.

If you plan to team with a crat and use calms as the means to travel between bosses, then reflect/damage shields, symbs that give damage shields, and points in the Bio Cocoon perkline should be avoided. The reason for this is because many aliens have long casting time with nukes, so after being calmed their nuke can finish being cast and do damage. If the nuke hits someone with a damage/reflect shield, the alien will take a small amount of damage and will no longer be calmed. This poses the greatest problem when the mob in question is a General or Comm Officer, because those can only be calmed by a special calm, and they can only be affected by it once every 30(?) minutes, which means no re-calming. The situation is made worse by the fact that Generals and Comm Officers are both capable of uncalming nearby aliens. For this reason a damage/reflect shield can (and often does) lead to major problems when calming, and should be avoided if possible. | If you plan to team with a crat and use calms as the means to travel between bosses, then reflect/damage shields, symbs that give damage shields, and points in the Bio Cocoon perkline should be avoided.
