Even if the Mist were crazy high in the air, our werks have the ability to leave atmosphere unassisted, as such the idea that we cannot get close enough to throw an object at it is kinda crazy to me. I'm not saying we are capable of gundam style air battles, but someone launching off the ground should have the ability to toss a car on the way up, especially if they aren't really intending to leave atmo. 

But this is all a moot point because the Mist is not that high off the ground.

But I digress. Yeah, I think our original thought process was best.

Still working on closing the distance on that there sniper. It is going to take me forever to get to it, kill it, and come back to someplace useful, so do me a favor and kill them all for me before I get back. I believe in you!

Actually, I believe that we are not really meant to win against this guy and that his appearance is for story driven purposes entirely. That being said, let's try to kill the bastards anyways!
