The wave starts with the player spacecraft facing sideways. A large danger zone will appear at the side the spacecraft is facing at.
This wave consists of alernating colums of enemies and barrier “rods”. A barrier gear is located at the topleft side of the formation. This gear is used to pull out the barrier rods so the wave can be cleared.
When the barrier gear is activated, all rods will be pulled revealing columns of Chickenauts. Chickenaut is a key enemy on this wave (can’t be swapped from wave generation rng) but its count can be reduced on lower diffulty.
Activate the barrer gear again to pull in the rods back to its initial position.
