Reggie Paxton earned top rank in the United States Army with a mix of anti-communist rhetoric and a strong paternal attitude. He won promotions and distinctions in classified Cold War operations. Nothing could have made General Paxton retire, but for a petty scandal involving mercenaries, cartels and gun dealing in Third World countries. But no one could prevent "Marvelous" Paxton from doing some consulting for former contacts. (Bio from character screen during “Enemy Within” Mission).

ENEMY WITHIN

“Enemy Within” is 1 of the 5 quests in the chain to find leads on who the Strategist is and info about Project CLAW. For this particular mission you are tasked with following up a lead that concerns General Reggie Paxton, a retired U.S. Army General.

1: REACH GENERAL PAXTON’S HOUSE

The first step is to reach the house where Paxton is living, upon doing this be sure to dispatch any Sentinel soldiers in the area. Once the premises is secure go inside and you will have to question the Housemaid about where the General is. This triggers a cutscene where you are told that the General is at his favorite fishing spot, but they have no clue where it is because it is kept a secret. However, they say you can search Paxton’s office to find clues to it’s location. Head upstairs and in the office you will find 2 clues to interact with. One is a postcard with a short message and “SEAL ISLAND” on the back, and the other is a photo of the General on his boat.

2: LOCATE THE GENERAL’S FISHING SPOT

For this step, since it is on the water, it is recommended to travel to Seal Passage Bivouac in Liberty Province and take a boat to the vicinity. Once you get close enough you will eventually come to a landmark on the very edge of one of the Seal Islands just dubbed “Cave Site.”

3: INVESTIGATE THE CAVE

Now it is time to investigate the “Cave Site” location to see what it conceals. Inside you will find a modernized setup and a Sentinel presence, as you are making your way through the cave portion be sure to grab any collectibles you come across because one of them will contribute to helping you resolve the “What is the CLAW project?” investigation. At the end of the cave portion you will encounter a sealed door, and you must climb through a exposed vent to ingress into the facility.

4: SEARCH THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY AND FIND GENERAL PAXTON

Dropping into the facility triggers this next step in the quest. Once again there is a Sentinel presence throughout, in addition there is also a room wide laser setup that includes static and moving laser defenses. Make sure for the static lasers to either move in CROUCH or PRONE positions based on lasers height, and for the moving ones you have to time when to pass. Once you reach the guarded door at the back you obtain a Mission Clue which reveals that General Paxton is inside.

5: REACH AND INTERROGATE GENERAL PAXTON

This step is triggered upon obtaining the mission clue mentioned in the previous step. Your first task is to stop the 4 ongoing drone tests so that the door will unlock. Just go around to the marked consoles and wait for the “Hack” prompt to appear to shut down each test zone. After all 4 test zones are dealt with you will now be able to access the locked door into Area B. This triggers a cutscene where you see General Paxton on a call with The Strategist. Nomad makes their presence known after the call and a heated conversation ensues but ends when Nomad threatens the General and appropriates the USB Drive attached to the laptop Paxton was using, which is a clue that will help resolve the “Who is behind the CLAW project?” investigation.

6: EXFILTRATE THE COMPOUND

Upon exiting Area B, you will instantly be in the ALERT state as Sentinel are waiting in the test area. This includes 4 or 5 soldiers and an Aamon ground drone. After dispatching or evading the Sentinel ambush you can make your way up through the facility and back i to the cave. Here again you will immediately go into the ALERT state and 2 Sentinel soldiers will rush you as well as a Heavy Gunner a little distance behind them. After dispatching them make your way to the entrance of the cave and the “Enemy Within” mission is complete.
