Zero Hour – Brutal Difficulty
During the Zero Hour mission you will have to protect yourself and the artifact for 20 minutes. You’ll notice that because this is hard difficulty it will only take 14-15 minutes to complete this mission while the timer at the end will still say 20 minutes and 12 seconds. This is because of the fastest speed that brutal difficulty missions use.
I did this mission twice, the first time I brought my Marines back behind the first row of bunkers and just defended from that point. During this attempt I did not rescue the trapped rebels around the base. I redid the mission to test if I received any extra credits from completing these objectives and it appears I did not. Regardless of whether or not you rescue the rebels you will receive 55,000 credits at the end of this mission.
It was a lot easier to defend the base from the upper platform. I was actually able to walk away from my computer for several minutes doing it that way. Either way, build a strong defense with SCVs ready to repair your marine filled bunkers and this mission is a piece of cake.
