― Federation scientists

"Midnight Light" is the twelfth mission of Project Wingman. The player leads Hitman Team in a raid on the Harkema Industrial Park in the Scarred Sea to investigate reports of Pacific Federation weapons research.

Objectives

The player must attack a number of platforms with a range of ground defenses, including railguns. Accipiters and P.28 attack helicopters are also patrolling the area. Most armed enemies are PRIORITY targets; other targets include buoys, cargo ships, containers, radar dishes, and an LCS.

Once all PRIORITY targets are destroyed, a scripted dialogue sequence will initiate. Following its completion, Frost takes off in an SP-34R. She has three phases with one health bar each, and is shot down when all three bars are depleted, with each phase rewarding 3,500 points. The SP-34R has no missiles but utilizes powerful gun barrages, and starting from the second phase will also engage the player with a rapid-fire railgun, the fire rate of which increases dramatically in the third phase. Shooting down Frost completes the mission.

Mercenary difficulty

F/S-15s launch with and support Frost in her boss fight.

Behind the scenes

Matthew Nguyen stated Frost was intended to use Skin 04 of the SP-34R, but for unknown reasons, she used Skin 01 instead.

Trivia

• Despite Diplomat's opening quote, the moon is quarter-full rather than full.
• The identity of the SP-34R's pilot will be "UNKNOWN" until the third and final phase.
