Outskirts starts with Master Chief in a town accompanied by a group of Marines. The first thing you're tasked with doing for this mission is bunkering down inside of the nearby building and surviving the multiple Covenant waves. After defeating all the Covenant two Hunters will burst through a nearby wall giving you a route out of this location and also a tough fight.
Head through the hole that the Hunters created and you will find yourself in an alleyway which is infested with sniper Jackals. If you are playing on Heroic or Legendary difficulty these enemies can take you out with a single shot to the head - this means you have to be extremely careful when going through this area.
I recommend you use the Battle Rifle and carefully search the environment for any hiding Jackals. Once you can pick up the Beam Rifle that they're using I recommend you do so because this will help you with the Jackals that are really far away. During this part of the mission it's easy to get lost since there are multiple routes leading to the building we have to go.
The building you're looking for is shown in my screenshot below. It has a large billboard out front that says Hotel Zanzibar - it also says Hotel Zanzibar near the front desk in the lobby.
We're going to be going through Hotel Zanzibar and coming out the opposite end - you'll have to use your light to see in the dark hallways of this building. Once you're back outside you'll have to fight some Covenant after which you'll want to grab the Warthog or a Ghost for the next part of the mission.
If you're interested in getting the Terminal found on this level you'll find it in one of the outside arenas that you have to drive through during this next part. For more information about exactly where it can be found check out my Outskirts Mission Terminal Location (With Cutscene).
Our destination is the highway which you can reach by driving through a hole in the wall in the final outside arena. There is only one way in and out of each arena so it shouldn't be too hard to find the hole in question; there are also like a dozen Covenant guarding the hole which makes it stand out quite a bit too!
Now, all that's left of this mission is to drive down the highway until you reach the end. You'll have to deal with various Covenant along the way and you may have to swap vehicles if yours takes too much damage. However, the path forward is very linear and it's unlikely you'll get lost.
