Arms Deal

Learn how to complete the Arms Deal mission in Batman: Arkham Origins. Get tips on taking down enemies and finding the Penguin.

Alright, so you've just busted out of that tower and you're standing in Gotham City. See that big Bat Signal to the northeast? Your instinct might be to go exploring, and trust me, we'll get to that. But first, we've got a mission to tackle.

Here's the deal: run off the ledge and hold [X] to glide. You can even grapple while you're in the air! If you get enough distance between where you start and where you're going, double-tap [X] for a grapnel boost – it'll make you go way faster. Your goal is that Bat Signal you can see on the map. If you get lost, just hit [Select] to bring up the map and get your bearings.

Along the way, feel free to rough up any thugs you run into. They're good for building up XP, which means more upgrades for you. About halfway there, you'll land on the Gotham Pioneers Bridge. Keep an eye out for a red arrow – that means a crime is in progress. These pop up randomly, and they're a great way to score some extra XP. This first one has about ten bad guys. It's not too tough, so go for it if you want the XP, or skip it if you're in a hurry.

Once you cross the bridge, make your way to Jezebel Plaza. That's where the Bat Signal is leading you.

When you arrive, a cutscene will kick off the arms deal. After it's done, you'll have to take out nine enemies. You can go after them in any order, but honestly, the guy with the gun is the priority. Take him out first. You can totally hang back and listen to their conversation if you want; it's pretty funny. After you've dealt with everyone, the guy in the Santa hat will get up and surrender, even if you beat him early on. Interrogate him, and another funny cutscene will play. You'll snag a chip that lets you track down the Penguin. Unfortunately, it looks like Enigma's up to his old tricks again, so you'll need to hit up another Enigma tower before you can actually find him.
