Mexico Compound

Welcome to the Mexico Compound, where Leo and Vincent confront their past and a dangerous future. This section details the steps to navigate the compound, deal with its inhabitants, and progress the story.

Initial Approach & Entry

Upon arriving at the compound, you'll need to find a way inside. The primary objective is to locate and confront Harvey.

  • Observation Point: Before entering, take a moment to observe the compound layout from a distance. There are multiple entry points and patrol routes to consider.
  • Stealth or Confrontation: You can choose a stealthy approach to avoid immediate detection or opt for a direct confrontation.
  • Gaining Access:
    • Option 1 (Stealth): Look for a weak point in the perimeter fence or an unguarded entrance. One character can distract a guard while the other slips through.
    • Option 2 (Direct): Engage the guards at the main gate. Be prepared for a firefight.

Navigating the Compound Grounds

Once inside, the compound is a maze of buildings, courtyards, and patrolling enemies. Communication and coordination between Leo and Vincent are crucial.

  • Enemy Patrols: Guards patrol regularly. Use cover effectively and time your movements.
  • Interactions:
    • Distractions: Interact with environmental elements like generators or vehicles to create noise and draw attention away from your path.
    • Takedowns: Utilize stealth takedowns on isolated guards to reduce their numbers without raising an alarm.
  • Key Locations:
    • Main Building: This is Harvey's suspected location. Access will likely be heavily guarded.
    • Outbuildings: Explore smaller structures for potential alternate routes or useful items.

Inside Harvey's Residence

Once you've breached the main building, the search for Harvey intensifies. The interior is often more confined, leading to closer encounters.

  • Room-to-Room Search: Systematically clear each room. Be wary of ambushes.
  • Interactive Elements: Look for clues or items that might reveal Harvey's exact whereabouts or provide an advantage.
  • Confrontation with Harvey: The encounter with Harvey will be a significant cinematic event, often involving quick-time events (QTEs) or a unique combat sequence. Be ready to react swiftly.

Escape from the Compound

After the confrontation, escaping the compound will be another challenge, as alarms are likely to be raised.

  • Reinforcements: Expect increased enemy presence and more aggressive patrols.
  • Exit Strategy: Identify the quickest and safest exit route. This might involve retracing your steps or finding a new, less guarded path.
  • Vehicle Escape: A vehicle escape is a common scenario in this phase. One player drives while the other handles pursuing enemies.
