Act 1 - Scene 1: Negotiations ( A1S1NEG )

Walk to the room and speak with your allies.

Proceed through the doorway to the catwalk.

Move towards the next doorway, stop, wait for your weapon to appear, and take cover (use available environmental objects for protection) by the door.

Peek inside, lean out, and aim for a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) (a shot to the enemy's head, usually resulting in an instant kill).

Tell your two new allies to regroup and enter the room.

Go up the stairs and use the snake cam (a deployable camera that allows you to see through doors) on the door.

Tag both enemies (mark them for your team to target) and press up on the D-pad to send your team in; they should eliminate both enemies.

Look out the window on the left to see Alpha Team breach, then descend the steps on the other side of the room.

Follow the path out a door and take cover on the corner of the wall.

Quickly eliminate the two enemies in plain sight, followed by two more that will appear; using your team is optional.

Hop over the gate and proceed up the path.

When you reach a door, go around the back to find another door.

Position your team on this door, use the snake cam, tag the enemies, and send your team in; you can assist, but be cautious not to hit your own teammates unless entering from the other door.

Inside, you will find shields, but they are not recommended.

Go through the door and into the hallway, where you will hear more chatter.

Stack your team on the door to the right and snake the door.

Go to the window on the left side of the room and begin firing.

Send your team in with a frag or flash grenade (you can change Rules of Engagement settings by pressing a specific button). Alternatively, send them in first and attack second.

Afterward, ascend the stairs, open the door, and eliminate one enemy on the other side (snake the door first if necessary).

Take cover at the corner.

Hold the reload button to change the rate of fire, switch to a single-shot burst, and attempt to kill the distant enemy, or use your teammates for assistance.

You can switch guns to use the scope on the Commando rifle.

Position your team on the rappel hooks on the railing and then get on yourself.

Use the commands to send them down and let them breach first; follow them after the initial action.

Enter the hallway and proceed to the three doors leading into the next room.

Go around to the right and position your team on the door. You can send them in directly, or go to the opposite side, snake the door, tag the two enemies in the computer area, send your team in, and then enter from that door yourself; your team can handle this independently.

On the walkway, use the rappel lines to ascend.

At the top, proceed to the concrete block on the corner and take cover behind it.

Peek around the corner to eliminate the two guards, potentially with headshots.

Go through the next door and use your night vision (a mode that enhances visibility in low light) up a staircase.

At the door with the bomb, turn off night vision.

Have your team disarm the bomb.

Inside, you will witness a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic event). Be ready when you regain control.

Shoot any enemies who are not hostages.

Set your team to attack mode (change Rules of Engagement).

Crouch and proceed around the corner and down the path to find small steps leading to the ground floor.

You can send your team down, accompany them, or remain elevated and eliminate enemies.

The room is clear when you hear chatter, and you can check your radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) (a display showing nearby enemies and allies) by pressing up on the D-pad.

Once the area is clear and enemies stop appearing, go downstairs and through the doors to find an ammo crate.

At the green ammo crate, you can change weapons, ammunition, and clothing. Consider swapping the Commando for the Scout sniper rifle or another preferred weapon. You can also adjust armor and mobility settings, or prioritize armor.

When finished, quickly send your team through the doorway and follow them.
