Dear god. I have well and truly botched this up now. Level 11 soldier attempting to get the mine key from Slade. I got past the first area with no trouble and made it into the hideout bit but have now got my ass royally handed to me by a level 15 bruiser who is firing something that is depleting my shield in one hit. Cannot make an inroads whatsoever so had to quit that area and fight my way back to Fyrestone with all the newly respawned enemies. I wish there were manual saves so I could reload. Now I have no money thanks to all the New-U revives!
