Mission:Tip - Bloody Bane Spider Helmet

Bloody Bane Spider Helmet (40-50)

You nearly trip over a small object on the ground. Upon inspection, you see it is a helmet belonging to a bane spider, with blood splattering the outside and inside of it. Whoever was wearing this must have been in quite the battle, though it isn't normal for Bane Spiders to discard their gear like this. You investigate this further by utilizing the tech inside the helmet to gather information about whoever discarded this...

It seems Arachnos has issued a bounty on a group of Bane Spiders - they've broken free from the mental network that comprises the soldiers and are trying to flee the Rogue Isles. This happened in the midst of an assault on a Longbow base in Grandville - now both Longbow and Arachnos are seeking these Bane Spiders, both offering a large reward for them.

You've heard of this happening before to a Bane Spider here and there - that was the last time you heard of those specific operatives, however. Arachnos is swift to handle any issues with the Bane Spiders, though now it appears to have become widespread within this group.

You could investigate where one of these Bane Spiders has run off to and collect on that bounty - either from Arachnos or Longbow. It would be a fairly good payday from either group and earn you some influence with one of the two groups.

Then again...it sounds as if the squad was in the middle of attacking a Longbow base when they disbanded. That means there's a group of Longbow out there still operating - still tracking everyone's movements, including your own. That's something that...can't be allowed to remain. Not when they're teetering on the brink of destruction.

Villain Acceptance

Briefing

Longbow's presence in the Rogue Isles has done nothing but cause irritation after irritation - counting the latest one with the Bane Spiders. After doing some more investigation on the matter, you're able to piece together that the Bane Spider's link breaking was most likely caused by some agents within Longbow - they have had plans before to do this.

Which means they'll have bane Spider turncoats at that Longbow base. Not that it'll matter - form the video you've stolen, the base is already in ruins. Time for you to finish what Arachnos started and kick Longbow out of your turf.

However, just destroying the base won't be enough. You'll have to make an example out of the higher ups there. You're going to find key people there and make sure all of Longbow - and Paragon - know that you took them down.

• Destroy the Longbow base!

Rogue Acceptance

Briefing

Some Bane Spiders acting up says one thing to you - opportunity. Longbow and Arachnos are looking for any of them and they're both offering top dollar for them.

Unfortunately for Arachnos, Longbow happens to hve a bigger paycheck to spend for the Bane Spiders.

You do some investigation and get in touch with certain contacts to find out that Crey has already located one of the Bane Spiders and is currently holding him hostage in one of their warehouses.

It looks like you've got your lead, at last. Crey has enough money as it is - it's time to sprad the wealth.

• Sell the Bane Spider to Longbow!

You head off to find the Bane Spider. It's lucky for you that Crey is keeping him nice and cozy until you show up...

Unnecessary Solicitation

Crey might be upset, but what are they going to do? Sue you?

Mission Objective(s)

The Crey warehouse is on full alert. They're ready and waiting for Arachnos to come get their man.

• Find the Bane Spider!
  • Locate the captured Bane Spider!
  • Survive the Arachnos ambush and find the Longbow Liaison!

The deal is done and sealed. Longbow has their Bane Spier and you have Longbow's money.

---

Crey Voltaic Tank: Character! Get the signal to Arachnos!

Crey Voltaic Tank: I have! They're on their way!

Saving the Captured Bane Spider

The captured Bane Spider looks up to you, his armor battered in. Crey obviously has captured him by force.

You're Character, right? ...so...you're here to bring me over to Arachnos, I take it. Fine...I can't fight anymore. Bring me to my fate.

• Looks like today is your lucky day. You're going to Longbow.

The Bane Spider looks up at you in shock.

Longbow?! R-really? Thank you...thank you!

• Calm down, it's only because Longbow offered more for you.

Alright...okay...so...what's next?

• I'm going to contact the agent from longbow now to come get you.

You take out your communicator to send a message out to Longbow. A man named Agent G replies, saying he is on his way. However, he says that there is an Arachnos squad breaking into the warehouse shortly. You'll have to deal with them before he can get in to make the trade.

I'm sorry Character, but I won't be able to help you out against those Arachnos.

I'll find a good place to hide...good luck...!

• ...great.

The Bane Spider runs to hide inside of one of the crates. You can hear Arachnos already bearing down on the warehouse!

• The things that get in the way of making cash in this place...

Conversation with Agent G

A Longbow agent stands before you, holding a suitcase in his right hand.

Hello, Character. I've heard a lot about you. I trust you have the...package we're looking for?

• As long as you got the money.

The agent hands you the suitcase. You open it up and count the money in there - it's exact the amount that Longbow promised.

I trust we have a deal then?

• We have a deal. Your man is in a crate in the back.

The agent gives you a nod and quickly walks off to retrieve the Bane Spider.

• At least that's over with.

Debriefing

You casually walk out of the Crey warehouse with the suitcase full of money - courtesy of Longbow. Not too bad of a payday, if you do say so yourself.
