Plot
 | This article or section contains spoilers. |
The story begins with Shane, Tango, Komodo, and Raven arriving at an underground maglev station, with Jackal contacting them and telling the team that B.O.B., the antagonist of the first game, has been revived and is currently operating out of a large secret set of laboratories and fortresses in the middle of the Great Basin. The N-Strike Elite wastes no time boarding a maglev to reach Jackal, whom is at Station 5, a few miles up the main line. On the way, they are ambushed by a huge air fleet of Gadflies led by a large combat helicopter, but despite the huge amount of enemies, the team survives the attack.
Later, the N-Strike Elite reaches Station 5, and accidentally trip an alarm, mobilizing a large squadron of Specters and Sentries. They are nearly killed by a Juggernaut, but they are able to escape in time. They soon arrive in a large cavern, where they infiltrate a security station manned by two Sentries. They gain access to a small cave where they destroy three hydro generators, leaving the entire compound's anti-intruder defenses neutralized. Later on, they take several elevators up a hillside from a hydro-dam at the bottom to a large aircraft hangar. Soon, Jackal remote controls a helicopter (with the N-Strike on board) to fly down a canyon so the N-Strike Elite can destroy three anti-hacking control pods that give a firewall to all the robots in the compound. They succeed in doing this, but they are soon attacked by a Juggernaut, which downs the helicopter. The team survives the crash.
Soon, the N-Strike Elite follows a squadron of Gadflies down a canyon, eliminating fierce enemy resistance. They arrive at an underground facility, where they destroy a trio of Juggernauts that burst through the walls of one of the caves. Finally, the team spots Jackal in a nearby concrete chamber and travel to the chamber. By the time they arrive there, Jackal already left. In another room, the N-Strike Elite is contacted by Jackal, who reveals his true colors. Jackal had decided to take B.O.B.'s entire compound for himself. He knew that the anti-hacking pods would have stopped him, so he brought the rest of the team in to remove the pods. Shortly after that, Jackal became corrupt with power, and instead of shutting the compound down, he decided to use the robots for his own private army, even taking over B.O.B. He plans to kill every N-Strike officer in the world by launching a large rocket, containing a full-scale army that he is going to use to take over the world, starting with destroying Salt Lake City, UT.
The N-Strike Elite soon reaches the rocket where they find B.O.B. waiting for them. Slowly, the team fight B.O.B. and force him upward to the top of the rocket, where they destroy a set of auto-turrets. B.O.B. then challenges the N-Strike Elite to a final showdown, with him controlling a larger Juggernaut. Despite this upgrade, B.O.B. is defeated and shuts down once more. Later, the team enters the rocket's control room, where Jackal appears on the monitor saying that he has actually been planning world domination for a long time, revealing that he was always a villain. Then, Komodo realizes that he might be able to fly the rocket, due to its controls being identical to his favorite arcade game, "Star Knuckle Seven". Raven then disables Jackal's communication to them over the monitor. The game ends with the team dumping the robot army on board and blasts off to an unknown location.
