Quick answer

Players recommend relocating immediately, re-establishing your position from observers or spotters, removing hostile spotters to buy time, then using reconnaissance or illumination to locate the enemy Nest. After a hit, expect it to move and measure again.

What the reviewed sources establish

  • Community reports agree that location and relocation are central.
  • Official sources confirm tactical-map measurements, recon, illumination and repositioning.
  • No reviewed official source publishes a fixed Phantom Battery grid.

Use this current-build checklist

  1. Use the mission's emergency relocation opportunity before a long firing setup.
  2. Recalculate your position and label each observer or spotter source.
  3. Remove hostile observation where the current objective permits.
  4. Use recon or illumination to confirm the enemy Nest.
  5. Observe the result and repeat the location process after movement.

Keep the answer current

  • This section contains mission spoilers.
  • Player tactics can change after patches.
  • A grid from another run can be wrong.

Verification boundary

What still needs live verification

The sequence is a synthesis of player reports grounded in official tools; it is not an official answer or a promise every run behaves identically.

Official descriptions establish stable scope. Interface paths, balance, values, rewards, schedules, and version-specific behavior must still be checked in the current game build.
