Not Without Him: official field report
An official squad story connects a hunt for Bale at Chang-san Air Base with an extraction overwhelmed by hostile forces and a rival squad.
Route and target
Viper, Wraith and Nomad travel from Cheongun through the NK Wilderness to Chang-san. Bale is presented as a Spetsnaz veteran embedded with NK forces, acting as trainer and enforcer with elite guards. After killing him and looting near a smoldering tank, the squad heads toward the Political Prison.
Extraction battle
Closing troops drive the squad toward exfil. Drone Swarms and Colossus, carrying an armor-mounted belt-fed Minigun, add pressure. Nomad falls, rivals arrive from the eastern wall, and Wraith uses a suppressed X-58 Nyx with a thermal optic through smoke while radiation spreads.
Unfinished rescue
Viper and Wraith lift off, but Wraith jumps back for Nomad. The story does not show a completed rescue or establish a named repeatable rescue Order. Its weapon setup and enemy sequence are scenario details, not required loadouts or guaranteed spawns.
