- 3Return to the main area and kill the guard on the catwalk overlooking the stairs.
- 4Continue through the door where the catwalk guard was. Kill the guard on the left carrying a grenade. Pick up the M79 ammo.
- 5Return to the stairways, head up, destroying the sensor as you go.

- 8Chapter 7: Stone-Cold Dead
- 9Navigate the corridor filled with moving laser tripwires. Jump over or run under them.
- 10First Set: When the laser is near the ground, jump over it.
- 11Second Set: Wait for the two lasers to synchronize when one hangs at the top for an extra second, then jump over them when they are at the bottom.
- 12Third Set: Wait for the laser to move up to the ceiling and run under it. Equip your Colt Commando and immediately fire down the corridor. A guard will appear at the end; firing before he comes into view will defeat him.
- 13Fourth Set: Same as the second set.
- 14Fifth Set: Same as the third set, minus the guard.
- 15Sixth Set: Same as the first set.
- 16At the end, dive out and kill the guard around the corner, then be ready for his partner to emerge from behind the wall.
- 17Run to the far right corner and find the cabinet full of painkillers. Do not use them yet.
- 18Return to the main area, hide behind the right corner, and lure the two new guards over to you. Take them out with a shoot-dodge.
- 19Walk over to the elevators and open the one with the green light.
- 20A cinematic will play, revealing Mona has been working for Horne. Horne orders Mona to kill Max, but she refuses and betrays Horne.
- 21While the cinematic plays, three Killer Suits appear behind you and open fire. Mona pushes Max out of the way and is shot.
- 22When you regain control, run around to meet the three Killer Suits behind the wall where the laser tripwires were and take them out with a shoot-dodge.
- 23Head back to the painkillers and heal yourself.
- 24Return to the elevators and reopen the one Mona was in.
- 25The cinematic pans out to show laser tripwires in the elevator shaft. You can take the elevator up and shoot them, or equip your sniper rifle and destroy them from the bottom.
- 26Tip: It is safer to use the sniper rifle. Break the glass before shooting. There are five sensors; try to destroy them from the bottom. Ensure you have at least two sniper rifle rounds left.
- 27When the elevator stops at the top, dive out and kill the two Killer Suits walking away. Aim your shoot-dodge to end up under the balcony.
- 28Toss a grenade up to the Killer Suit above you.
- 29Take out the Killer Suit inside the open door on the other side of the area, which leads to the Control Room.
- 30Pick up the painkillers in the cabinet against the wall.
- 31Check the control panel labeled "Elevator Access" and press the action button twice to open the blinds.
- 32Kill the new group of enemies (two Killer Suits and a mercenary) in the main room.
- 33Head over to the elevators under the balcony. Enter the unlocked one to complete the level.
- 34Chapter 7: Take Your Pick
- 35As the elevator takes you down, Horne's attack helicopter will appear and fire at you.
- 36Hide in the left corner and wait for the elevator to stop. The doors will remain closed.
- 37The chopper will destroy one of the glass walls (the left side), allowing you to escape the elevator.
Tips
- When dealing with the initial guards, remember the one on the right has a grenade.
- The laser tripwires require patience; take your time to observe their patterns.
- Equip your Colt Commando before the third set of lasers to be ready for the guard.
- Save the painkillers found before the laser tripwires for when you are injured later.
- Using the sniper rifle to destroy the elevator shaft sensors is the safest approach.
- Aim your shoot-dodge carefully after the elevator stops at the top to land under the balcony.
