    I recommend trying to get this done while going through the main game and side missions because after those are all finished the enemy spawn rate seems to go way down

    Board Countermeasures are background missions that you can accept at any control point.

    I learned you can abandon as many of these missions as you want for it to cycle through to easy missions. All you have to do is accept the missions that are hard then hold x to abandon them to cycle another mission into the list.

    The missions that are the easiest to complete are:

    -Kill enemies with the Service Weapon in _______ mode
    -Kill enemies in the _______ sector
    -Kill enemies in the ________ sector using Abilities
    -Kill enemies using Shield Barrage (unlocked further in the shield part of the skills tree, propels
    debris at enemies)
    -Kill enemies using Launch

    All of these don't require any special Hiss so can be easily completed. Just keep grinding through those until 25 are done!

    mrbellekAbove poster says to do the 'Rescue' countermeasures, close the game when you complete them, then reopen and you can do them again. This might help if, like me, you waited with doing these until you beat most of the game. :(

    - BEST METHOD IF YOU ALREADY FINISHED THE MAIN STORY -

    Awesome guide by DanTheWhale, and regarding time management, it will be better If you just keep popping countermeasures while you complete the main missions, but If you find yourself with them finished and not finding enemies consistenly, try using this method:

    · Use the Jukebox found in the Central Executive to do Expeditions

    You can find all the info about the jukebox and expeditions here: https://www.polygon.com/control-guide/2019/12/12/21019961/ju...

    First, find 3 countermeasures that require you to just simply kill enemies with abilities or the service weapon. I tried to get always the next 3:
    · Kill 5 enemies with the Pierce form
    · Kill 5 enemies with the Shatter form
    · Kill 5 Charged Hiss or Soldiers.

    Go to the jukebox and start the 1 token expedition. You will be teleported to the Formation, and you will see 4 circular doors. Take the second starting from the left.

    You will be in an area killing Hiss waves as soon as you interact with a white machine you can find near the center of the stage. You can do the weapon related countermeasures in any order, but I recommend starting with the Shatter one. The Charged Hiss will spawn in the second wave.

    As soon as you complete the 3 missions, press start and abandon the expedition. Then go to the checkpoint and collect the rewards.

    I was able to do my last 20 countermeasures in less than an hour.

    As I said, If you have not finished the main story, best to follow DanTheWhale's guide, but If you are done with it, give this method a go.
