Background (12)

Dive into the crucial background intel for Rainbow Six Mobile missions. Learn about enemy motivations, weapon types, and mission objectives to gain a tactical advantage.

Alright, let's get you up to speed on the intel for this mission. RAINBOW has the green light to search Nikola Gospic's estate. We're hunting for evidence of chemical weapons, and intel suggests he's still sitting on a nasty blistering agent that he plans to use. Your job is twofold: stop him from wiping critical evidence off his computer and secure the entire estate. Don't hold back – use whatever force is necessary.

John Clark has a few things to add. He figures Gospic is cornered, which means he's probably more dangerous than ever. We're starting the hunt at his mansion on Cayman Brac. While Gospic himself might not be there, his stash of that blistering agent almost certainly is. Intel really wants us to comb the place top to bottom. If we're lucky, we'll get a clear picture of what he has left and where he's planning his next move.

You should be pretty familiar with this estate's layout by now. The good news is we don't have any hostages to worry about this time. The flip side? That means the resistance won't be holed up in the main house; expect them to be more scattered. You'll need to clear out all the terrorists inside the house, but they're going to be spread out more than in previous missions.

Now, let's talk about the actual threat. Kevin Sweeney has traced the VX ingredients you confiscated earlier back to old Soviet manufacturing, smuggled out by someone named Preston. We've even pinpointed the exact buy where Preston got it. Turns out, it wasn't just the VX he picked up. He also snagged the compounds to brew more of the stuff himself, and what we're pretty sure is a blistering agent. You got the VX ingredients when you hit that import-export firm in Porto Alegre, but the blistering agent is still out there, and so is Gospic, along with Gutierrez.

The blistering agent we're concerned about is likely phenyldichloroarsine. It's a colorless, odorless liquid that absolutely wrecks your eyes, lungs, and skin. It's not quite as potent as mustard gas, the original blistering agent, but that's about the only 'good' thing about it. By the time you notice symptoms, it's already done its damage. This stuff is nasty – it blinds, burns skin, and suffocates victims. It might sound less severe than mustard gas, but imagine getting blisters inside your lungs. You won't be able to breathe! Just for your info, this compound contains a Phenyl Group (like a benzene ring with a missing hydrogen), chlorine, and arsenic. Seriously potent stuff.
