Hints and Tips:

In order to reach to the level at the very top, you must have a Gravity Hammer or something that can cause an explosion through a Shield door. Once you climb the platforms on the map, two boxes await for you. One with a Fuel Rod Gun and a Rocket Launcher; the other leading to the teleporter that sends you to the top floor. Use the Gravity Hammer on the "Grav Lift" that has no weapons. Once the Grav Lift is destroyed, enter the box. On the other side of the wall is a Warthog that you can enter through. Press the right shoulder button to enter it. Once inside exit out of the Warthog and go through the teleport next to it (If you dont go through the teleporter, then just jump on to the Warthog and jump to where the Custom power up is.) From there, if you want to prevent anyone from getting to where you are, equip yourself with the Spartan Laser and destory the Warthog. Grab the custom power up and the Sniper Riffle of your choice, and enjoy.
Custom Power Up will respond within 180 seconds. So choose when you use them wisely or else it will literally be the death of you.
Make sure if your at the top level, you do not fall off. Just incase you do, two teleporters are at the fortress; but it'll just send you back to the first level. So becareful.
The first level has teleporters with shield doors blocking them on each side of the fortress. (First level only) (Great way to hid from the Snipers from above).
On the Second and Third levels, barrels conseal fusion coils that can blow up enemies by using Plasma grenades or the Rocket Lancher.
