Tips
  • The Pioneer Square Mobile Command Center is crucial and must be destroyed before proceeding, even if Reggie calls back.
  • When photographing, use the R2 button to zoom and adjust the camera as needed. The clear boxes at the top indicate the number of photos required. The bottom of the screen shows your proximity to the target.
  • On the rooftops, utilize smoke for cover while engaging enemies.
  • The basic thugs are fragile; be careful not to eliminate them unintentionally.
  • The Conduit leaves an energy trail, but you may need to return to the billboard to find them.
