Detailed walkthrough
This quests consists of "waves" where a limited number of attackers will spawn and attempt to take over The Castle.

Brotherhood of Steel
Waves consists of 1 vertibird and its occupants which put together, consists of a total of 10 Vertibirds. The most efficient way to complete this quest is to use Missle Turrets. The turrets will make short work of the Vertibirds and its occupants. Most of the men inside the ship will not be lootable with the exception of ragdolls falling out. So if you are looking for loot, this method is not recommended.

Institute
Waves of Synths and Coursers will spawn at various locations. Building walls beforehand to block the holes in the wall will prevent most enemies from entering and prevent the player being surrounded.
