Let's Play Armored Core 2: Extra Missions - Escort Train

For some reason this one failed to upload, so here it is again. It was supposed to be placed between Arden River and Water Generation Plant.
I would like to make a correction from the original upload concerning Catastrophe; I incorrectly stated that he approaches from the west when, in fact, he approaches from the south, parallel to Black Tail.
It's time to steal from Balena instead of protecting Black Tail. This is more or less the same drill as last time, but instead of standing around like an idiot and waiting for Black Tail to leave, destroy the second car from the back and retrieve the extension back booster. Destroying Catastrophe is kind of optional this time around. Personally, I like to get rid of him more for my own amusement rather than for eliminating the threat he presents.
It's useful for helping hover and light units come to a stop after overboosting and for giving mediums, heavies, and tanks a backward nudge. The backward nudge can be useful for dodging blade attacks (as shown in the opening of ACNB) but doing so requires a very high degree of skill to do so.
After you steal the part, the mission fails, but who cares? You have a free AC part!

I like how this is a take on the boulder mission from AC 1

If you kill someone in the game, they stay dead 'till the end of the game. And you can't fight them in the Arena if they're dead.

@MsPs2master You kill them. To be honest I didn't even realize Catastrophe was registered in the arena until I passed the game.

Took me a bit to figure that one out.
