    William Birkin (G-3 / G-4)

    Boss

    A far more monstrous mutation than the G-1 — quadruple claws and jaws splitting open his chest, cornering you around the freight platform.

    Strategy
    • Unload all your Acid Rounds and Flame Rounds without pausing.
    • Fire the Custom Magnum or Shotgun when the creature stops to roar.
    • Keep circling the outer edges of the platform to avoid getting cornered when he leaps.
    • After taking critical damage, Birkin will collapse off the platform as the elevator reaches the bottom.
