Plan of action for completing this Mission
To complete this Occupy Gotham mission, you need to find 21 Militia Watchtowers – 9 Watchtowers on Founder’s Island, 4 Watchtowers on Bleake Island, and 8 Watchtowers on Miagani Island. You can deal with these Militia watchtowers in any order you want except the first one on Founder’s Island and the rest you have to find on your own.
You can easily identify these watchtowers by the red cones that represent the range of Arkham Knight army thugs. After you come close to a watchtower, you need to deal with all the bandits first. It will be a great idea to use Detective mode to find out about the numbers of the enemy and learn about the deployment of militia thugs, which needs to be avoided at all costs.
Whether you rely on open fights or eliminate them stealthily, is up to you. After you secure the area, you have to locate the interactive terminal and destroy it using the explosive gel.
