Each path has four objectives, each still completely different or, perhaps shares a similar goal with a twist. Objectives can be completed without a timer, but some may have wipe mechanics, so players must be prepared for anything. After three of these objectives, the final one will always involve killing a boss of some sort with different means of bringing them down. Usually, there is no change at the first path, save for harder difficulties, but bosses may come with an immune mechanic that requires effort to dispose of. Few will have a wipe mechanic and the few that do usually involves indirect neutralization, such as disabling a splinter mine or destroying a Hive crystal and most, if not all wipe mechanic attacks WILL have a one-time redemption factor that can remedy any possible mistake. | Each path has four objectives, each still completely different or, perhaps shares a similar goal with a twist.

*'''Abomination Hunting''' <br> ''"Roars from this location can be heard from miles around, which means only one thing: the Hive are molding siege engines. End them before they are unleashed."'' <br> It is here where the Hive in this location have been creating all their horrendous monstrosities to aid them in battle. Whether involving destroying them directly, killing their creators first or even overcharging them with energy before they can deploy their rage, Abomination Hunting is another versatile objective with a plethora of ways to go about it. And it can involve anything from a seething horde of Cursed Thrall, Shriekers and, of course, Ogres. | *'''Abomination Hunting''' <br> ''"Roars from this location can be heard from miles around, which means only one thing: the Hive are molding siege engines.
