* Beacon mission should be done in team, team size depending on the level of the beacons and skills/equipment of the team members
# Form a team with fellow colonists (4 - 12 members). The team leader must be carrying the Robot Beacon in carried inventory.
* On beacon missions you will encounter robots, make sure your armor fits their damage types
# Team leader uses the Robot Beacon to locate the robot gate.
* Make sure you have enough ammo, a healing tool can't be wrong either
# Team leader activates the robot gate and enters, followed by the rest of the team.
# Team must fight its way through the levels and destroy the main boss before the timer runs out. If the boss is not defeated before the timer expires, the beacon mission will end, and the team returned to the Planet.
# Once the boss is defeated, a new timer begins. Find the loot stored in containers throughout the levels before the timer expires and the robot ship explodes! Any containers unopened once the timer expires will be lost!
