The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal deserts; and jungles have taken the place of more frozen regions. The plot begins with mercenaries fighting against jungle pirates in a blizzard/snowy area. The mercenaries then are taken by their squad leaders to the jungle in attempt to destroy a mine. After destroying the mine, they are attacked by a Category-G Akrid. When they kill it, the mercenaries pass through a jungle pirate base and then to meet at a rendezvous point after they received a message to be picked up. As the group arrives at the supposed rendezvous point, another Category-G akrid appears and attacks them. After destroying the akrid, the group is found by a friendly squadron in a helicopter. Once they are in the helicopter, a member of the squad asked what kept the helicopter so long. The pilot then says that he only stumbled upon them by accident while returning to base when he picked up signals of a Category-G akrid. The squad then realizes that the whole retrieval team was a complete set up. They are then told that all the other units deployed to destroy the mine were wiped out; snow begins to fall over the jungle area and the temperature begins to drop rapidly.

The game then shifts to NEVEC’s Black Ops, Task Force First Descent, who fight their way through a Carpetbagger city in an effort to capture a railway gun, a train mounted with a massive cannon. After failing to succeed in capturing the weapon, a ”space Akrid” suddenly appears and begins to attack the group. After it is killed and the members are sent on their next mission, it is revealed they are clones of Ivan Solotov, a character from Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.

The story once again shifts, this time to Waysiders, snow pirates now living in the desert. They are returning from a raid on a carpetbagger city with heavy casualties and having stolen very little thermal energy. On the way back home, they are ambushed by a Category-G Akrid, dubbed ”Red Eye”. After loading their remaining thermal energy onto helicopter-like VSs, they make their escape, only to be shot down by sandraiders several hours later. After wiping out the sandraiders and stealing their train, the group is ambushed by the escaped Carpetbaggers with the railway gun from the previous chapter. After seizing control of the gun, they are once again attacked by Red Eye, but with the railway gun’s firepower they are able to kill it. As they continue towards their home, it starts snowing heavily. When they reach the spot where their home is supposed to be, they realize it has been buried by the large snowfall and its citizens killed by the rapid temperature drop. The player 1 Waysider notices a giant, glowing orb in the distance and declares ”I’m so going to shoot the shit out of you!” and apparently fires at it.

The game shifts to two NEVEC people talking on a helicopter VS. The orb seen by the waysiders is declared ”the Over G”, and its increase in thermal energy use will trigger another ice age on E.D.N. III. NEVEC plans to kill it with the satellite known as NEOS. Once the thermal energy is harvested, they will abandon the planet. To prevent this genocide, most NEVEC ground troops defect. Two Ex-NEVEC characters are imprisoned by Carpetbaggers, but are freed by one who ”Brought your friends here”. More Ex-NEVEC troops rescue them and they make their way through the underground tunnels. They capture a NEVEC submarine and make their escape. Meeting up with all the other Ex-NEVEC troops, an invasion of a NEVEC base is planned. The base is captured and an experimental weapon created by NEVEC is destroyed. The group of player troops stowaway on a shuttle headed for the space station NEOS. The plan is to use its massive firepower to destroy the Over-G before it reaches its final form. The plot shifts quickly to the ”Vagabundos”. A group of sand pirates. They battle NEVEC troops, eventually capturing a massive cannon-bearing overland ship from NEVEC. They see the Over-G in the distance and decide to head there.
