Far Cry 3: Defuse Bombs in 'Defusing the Situation'

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've just finished up the last mission, and now we're diving into Defusing the Situation. This one kicks off right where we left off, so if you're not already there, fast travel back to Alpha Camp and head east. Sam's gonna need your help protecting him while he works on some bombs the pirates have planted in the drug fields. We're talking three bombs in total, and trust me, they're not going to make it easy.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start by needing to protect Sam as he defuses the first bomb. Expect enemies to come from all sides, and watch out for Chargers throwing Molotovs – those things hurt! Just keep an eye on your surroundings and take them out as they appear.
2
Once that first bomb is clear, follow Sam over to the second one. There'll be some regular enemies waiting for you, so clear them out first. The main challenge here comes a bit later when a truck with a mounted machine gun rolls up. Oh, and keep an eye out for a sniper in one of the towers. Sam won't move on until every last pirate is down, so don't get sloppy.
3
Next up is the third and final bomb. When you arrive, you'll find a stationary machine gunner and another enemy. As Sam gets to work, prepare yourself – a LOT of enemies are going to swarm the area, including a tough Heavy Gunner. After Sam finishes defusing, you'll need to deal with any remaining enemies.
4
Just when you think it's over, a helicopter shows up. You'll need to keep shooting at it until it explodes. Once that's done, just chat with Sam to wrap up the mission.

Tips

Keep moving and use cover effectively, especially when facing the truck's machine gun.
Prioritize taking out the sniper early if possible.
For the Heavy Gunner, use explosives or aim for weak spots if you can identify them.
Don't forget about the helicopter at the end; keep firing until it's down.
