Guides Pinpoint Every Step for Marathon’s Protect/Destroy 3–5 Contracts

Fresh walkthroughs pinpoint exact locations, resolve vague hints, stress the single-run requirement.

Overview

  • Protect/Destroy 3 opens in Dire Marsh with installing the UV Protocol at Intersection’s southwest secure room by destroying four power boxes—three outside and one above the interior doorway—then collecting the device upstairs.
  • The same contract finishes by tagging three blank-wall markers in Dire Marsh at a chosen POI such as Maintenance, where the HUD markers appear only up close and the recommended spots include the roof divider, the north-entrance stair support, and the south hangar pillar.
  • Protect/Destroy 4 moves to Outpost with three tasks in one run: download a shipping manifest from a northwest Processing terminal, scan four tagged containers at Airfield (two inside near the entrance and two just outside), then hack a second-floor Flight Control terminal whose marker appears only on the correct level.
  • Protect/Destroy 5 concludes the series with an upstairs terminal hack at Intersection to access the shipping database, followed by blasting open container 022 at Complex to retrieve a UESC Resource Stockpile, then extracting safely with the item.
  • Across all three contracts, progress only counts if every objective is completed within a single raid, so dying before extraction on the final step forces a full restart of that contract.
