Sabotage Air Base is a Mission that can appear on Automaton-controlled planets. It tasks Helldivers with destroying one or more parked Dropships and, on difficulties Hard and above, destroying an Air Base Control Tower. This is reflected in the Mission’s icon, overriding the Dropship icon if the Air Base Control Tower is present.
