A video showing an example of how to clear the AC3 mission Steal the Access Program
This is a simple later game mission. The objective is to reach the computer at the end, take the access code, and then head back to the entrance to escape. The lab is guarded by various MT's, none of which are particularly tough. As this is a hallway mission, a heavy AC is the go to choice. There isn't a lot of room to move around and most enemies will be engaged up close. This also makes blades useful here. As far as tactics this area is a good one to learn some AC cover use. Dashing across the hallways in the big rooms at the hallway ends or at hallway intersections can reduce damage by a good bit. The enemies don't tend to shoot immediately when you popup. You can also stand so that your gun clears corners while your core is hidden. Doing this can keep you safe from enemy fire while allowing you to shoot back.
Among the enemies are ECM units that disable your FCS, but EO's can bypass the ECM, making this mission one of their niche uses. The ECM units are small flying MT's or perhaps exosuits with tiny health pools. They also make a pinging sound when close by.
This mission has no hidden parts or secrets. There is a side room that can be ignored (I go into it anyway), so if aiming for max efficiency, just take the direct path to the left when the hallway splits.
It's also helpful to learn the layout of the facility as future missions take place in the same area.
After finding and interacting with the objective, the lab security activates. This makes damaging lasers appear in one of the halls. They can be jumped through, and it may be possible to jump through with zero damage if done very well. Otherwise, OB through them. Being fast or careful will minimize damage. Try to touch as little beams as possible.
