Walkthrough: Main Ops 003-006
Main Ops 003: "Pursue the Jungle Train"
This mission introduces you to the concept of stealth and enemy awareness. Your primary objective is to follow the train without being detected.
- Starting Area: Selva de la Leche: Camino de la Leche
- Strategy:
- Immediately upon starting, crouch and move forward. There's an enemy patrol ahead. Wait for him to turn his back, then use a CQC throw or tranquilizer to incapacitate him.
- Continue along the path. You'll encounter more patrols. Prioritize stealth takedowns (CQC or tranquilizer) over lethal force to maintain a good mission rank.
- Item Location: In the first open area with a small hut, check inside for a Ration.
- The train will periodically stop. Use these opportunities to close the distance. Stay in cover (bushes, rocks) and observe enemy patrol patterns.
- Transition: Selva de la Leche: Ladera Este. This area is more open. Stick to the left side, using the dense foliage for cover.
- Item Location: Near the end of Ladera Este, before the next transition, there's a small rock formation. Check behind it for M1911A1 (Pistol) ammo.
- Transition: Selva de la Leche: Puente Viejo. This is the final stretch. The train will be visible. Avoid the searchlights from the train.
- Mission End: Once you reach the end of the bridge, the mission will conclude.
- Important Note: If you are detected, the train will speed up, making it harder to keep pace. Restarting from a checkpoint is often the best option if you're aiming for an S-rank.
Main Ops 004: "Destroy the Barricade"
This mission requires you to destroy an enemy barricade. You'll be introduced to explosives.
- Starting Area: El Centroamerica: Aldea Los Despiertos
- Strategy:
- Move through the village. There are several guards patrolling. Use tranquilizers or CQC to neutralize them.
- Item Location: Inside the first large building on your left, you can find M1911A1 (Pistol) and Mosin Nagant (Sniper Rifle) ammo.
- Proceed to the next section of the village. The barricade is at the far end.
- Objective: You need to destroy the barricade. You'll be provided with Grenades at the start of the mission.
- Approach the barricade cautiously. There are guards positioned near it. Take them out silently.
- Destroying the Barricade: Equip your Grenades and throw them at the barricade. It will take 2-3 grenades to destroy it. Aim carefully to avoid hitting yourself or alerting nearby guards unnecessarily.
- Mission End: Once the barricade is destroyed, the mission will be complete.
- Tip: If you run out of grenades, check the surrounding area for item boxes. Sometimes, additional grenades or other explosives can be found.
Main Ops 005: "Rescue Chico"
This mission focuses on rescuing a key character, Chico. It involves navigating a prison camp.
- Starting Area: El Centroamerica: Base de la Selva
- Strategy:
- From the start, move forward cautiously. There are multiple guards patrolling the perimeter of the base.
- Item Location: In the first guard post you encounter, check the small building for a Ration and M1911A1 (Pistol) ammo.
- Your objective is to reach the prison cells, which are located in the center-north part of the base.
- use the various structures and crates for cover. Avoid direct confrontations if possible.
- Prison Cell Area: Once you reach the prison area, you'll find several cells. Chico is in one of them.
- Finding Chico: Interact with each cell door until you find Chico. He's usually in one of the cells on the right side.
- After Rescuing Chico: Once Chico is freed, you need to escort him out of the base. He will follow you automatically.
- Escort Strategy: Be extra careful during the escort. Chico is vulnerable. Prioritize clearing paths of enemies before moving him through. Use the tranquilizer gun extensively.
- Extraction Point: The extraction point is back at the mission's starting area. Lead Chico back the way you came.
- Mission End: Once both you and Chico reach the extraction point, the mission will conclude.
- Caution: If Chico takes too much damage, the mission will fail. Stay close to him and protect him.
Main Ops 006: "Capture the Intel"
This mission requires you to infiltrate an enemy compound and retrieve vital intelligence.
- Starting Area: El Centroamerica: Ruinas de Xochiquetzal
- Strategy:
- This area is a series of ancient ruins, offering plenty of cover but also many blind spots for enemies.
- Item Location: Near the initial spawn, behind some fallen pillars, you can find Mosin Nagant (Sniper Rifle) ammo.
- Navigate through the ruins, being mindful of elevated enemy positions. Snipers are a common threat here.
- Intel Location: The intel is located inside the main temple structure in the center of the ruins.
- Infiltrating the Temple: There are multiple entry points. The front entrance is heavily guarded. Consider using a side entrance or a less obvious path.
- Inside the Temple: The temple interior is usually a multi-level area with several guards. Use stealth to incapacitate them.
- Retrieving Intel: The intel is typically found on a table or pedestal in a central room within the temple. Interact with it to collect it.
- Exiting the Compound: After acquiring the intel, you need to exit the area. The extraction point is usually at the opposite end of the ruins from where you started.
- Mission End: Reach the extraction point to complete the mission.
- Recommended Gear: A sniper rifle (like the Mosin Nagant) can be very useful for taking out distant snipers or patrols from a safe distance.
