Data Loss is the third-listed mission in Chapter 6, and is optional. This will automatically activate when you find and enter the Cleansing Wrath Lab instance in the Training Grounds area. It's best to activate the Cleansing Wrath mission first, since you can do both that mission and Data Loss in tandem.
Cleansing Wrath Lab
The enemies in this area are pretty strong. Other than the A.I.M. Technicians, everything will take a dozen hits or more to take down (assuming you're around the low-20s in level).
The toughest enemies you'll see are A.I.M. Scorchers, whose fists create a fiery cloud on the ground upon impact. Individually, Scorchers are annoying but not terrible. However, they have a tendency to swarm, and if a group of four or more all hit you with the fiery punches at once, they may be lethal. Luckily, they “charge” their fiery punch for a moment, and they have a short cooldown, so if you keep moving, you can dodge their punch, then quickly follow up with your own attacks. Melee characters will have it rough, but ranged characters may be a little better off as long as they keep moving.
You'll need to move quickly, as you'll only have ten minutes to find the computer you need to destroy, and the countdown starts when you enter the area. The computer is a small, round, cylindrical machine that is usually near the Cleansing Wrath Supply Caches, which look like a series of pistons. You can see what the computer looks like in the screenshot below.
The computer doesn't need to be attacked. Defeat all the enemies nearby to secure the area, then simply interact with the object. As long as the progress bar fills without interruption, you'll destroy the computer and clear the mission.
