Players will need to find a recon mission on the map to start one. They are in each zone, so there will be plenty for players to decide on. When looking at the map, recon missions are marked by a yellow question mark and will be marked as "reconnaissance" for the mission type. The mission information will also show what rewards are available, so players may want to find one with rewards that they could use.

How To Infiltrate Outposts In The First Descendant

Once a recon mission is started, players will be able to begin their infiltration. While on these missions, players will need to disable power units and defeat an outpost boss. Depending on how they go about the power units, players may be given extra rewards.

The best way to go about this is to use stealth in order to avoid being seen. For this method, using Sharen's stealth skills, who is the Descendant known as an assassin, is the easiest way to do it. Using stealth, players can easily approach the power units and infiltrate them while enemies are standing around, none the wiser. Since players aren't letting the enemy know they are there, they will obtain extra rewards at the end.

The other way to complete an infiltration is to just go in, guns blazing. To do this, the player just needs to shoot out the power units while enemies attack them. While this is the most common way, since not everyone has Sharen, it is also the worst way to go about it. Since players will be discovered by the enemy, they will not obtain extra rewards and will need to take out mobs while disabling the power units.
