The Front Line is the first mission of Metal Slug: 2nd Mission. Seven prisoners exist in this stage.
Mission Synopsis[]
Gimlet and Red Eye travel the mission on the same path, however Gimlet (and Tequila) uses the Slug Sub while Red Eye uses the Slug Flyer in the mission's second section. Destruction of the Slug will lead to a small detour with Gimlet and Red Eye using the Drop Pack and Emergency Boat respectively. The third section uses the SV-000, but no mission divergence occurs when the Slug is destroyed. The mission's boss is Big Bertha.

Skeptical of IHQ info on Makuba, the PF Squad sends cadets to the site. |
