An amazing, legendary weapon waiting just beyond. The clock is ticking, with only 30 seconds to begin. Fire away, aiming for those x2, x3 lenses that will multiply your bullets and decimate the wall's health. But it doesn't end there. Just as the seconds run out, you're taken to a new battlefield where an entire army is advancing towards you.
