Diego Mendez is one of the Mendez brothers, powerful drug lords who become major antagonists later in the game. Your confrontation with Diego typically involves a large-scale shootout at their mansion. Diego is well-armed and will often take cover. The strategy here is similar to Martinez: clear out his henchmen first. Use assault rifles for medium range and shotguns for close quarters as you advance through the mansion. Diego himself can be taken down with concentrated fire. Be wary of his bodyguards who may try to flank you. The mission 'Last Stand' culminates in this encounter. Defeating Diego is a crucial step in dismantling the Mendez cartel and progressing the main story.
