Complete the Penthouse mission (A5S1PEN) in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Follow step-by-step instructions to clear enemies and reach objectives.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After dropping in, wait for your team to land and direct them behind a planter on the wooden deck.
  2. 2
    Move your team towards the doors; more enemies will appear.
  3. 3
    Descend the stairs and stack your team on the door. Snake the door (approach it cautiously to tag enemies without being detected) and tag two enemies, then send your team in. You can also go around using a window or another door, but it's not necessary.
  4. 4
    Take the staircase on the left. At the bottom, move your team behind cover in the living room area.
  5. 5
    Advance left to the hallway with enemies. Toss a frag grenade or two to clear them out.
  6. 6
    Enter the room on the left. You will be on a balcony overlooking two enemies below. Toss a frag grenade down and eliminate any survivors.
  7. 7
    Return to the hallway and descend the stairs by the elevator that will lock.
  8. 8
    Enter the small room with a door at the bottom of the stairs. Use your thermal scan (press up if available) to locate three targets.
  9. 9
    Stack your team on the door and instruct them to place a charge on it.
  10. 10
    Tell your team to take cover by the couch, eliminate the patrolling enemy, and then reposition them for cover by the window as enemies attempt to storm the location.
  11. 11
    Eliminate the incoming enemies. Exit to the walkway, turn the corner, and proceed to the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
  12. 12
    Use the outfitting point (for ammo) and consider equipping a shotgun.
  13. 13
    Sneak to the window and observe the area; use a thermal scan if desired. You can initiate the attack or let your friends start.
  14. 14
    After the fight begins, quickly move from the window around the corner. Position your team on the adjacent wall, ideally under another window.
  15. 15
    Engage closer enemies and pick off those farther away. Retreat to cover if you sustain damage.
  16. 16
    When the area seems clear, direct your squad into the room and behind available cover.
  17. 17
    Proceed either left, right, or through the bar area to reach the second living room and eliminate any remaining enemies (tangos).
  18. 18
    Instruct your team to use the rappel points on the windows and join them. Remember you can turn upside down while rappelling.
  19. 19
    While rappelling, turn upside down to eliminate an enemy positioned by the windows below.
  20. 20
    Quickly breach the room and toss frag grenades to the right. Remember your team also has frag grenades.
  21. 21
    Carefully advance to the back room and use the outfitting point.
  22. 22
    Stack your team on the left door while you snake the right door.
  23. 23
    Instruct your team to breach the left door with a charge blast. Open your door simultaneously and quickly eliminate the shielded enemy.
  24. 24
    Rappel into the lower level.
  25. 25
    The lights will go out; activate your night vision.
  26. 26
    Stack your team on the left door, instruct them to breach, and enter from the right.
  27. 27
    The next room may contain enemies; use frag grenades or send your team in.
  28. 28
    Outfit at the boxes and snake the nearby door.
  29. 29
    A smoke grenade might obscure your vision, but you can still tag enemies on the left and right. Alternatively, wait for the smoke to dissipate.
  30. 30
    Instruct your team to frag the room.
  31. 31
    At the next set of doors, you will find another hallway. Stack your team on the right door while you take the left door.
  32. 32
    Instruct them to breach, and as they do, enter to assist. Snake the door and tag the enemy if possible.
  33. 33
    Be prepared for an enemy emerging from a closet and watch for other threats as you clear the hallway.
  34. 34
    At the marker, you have two options: rappel down the elevator shaft or take the stairs.
  35. 35
    A strategic approach is to descend the stairs with your team and stack them on the door.
  36. 36
    Snake the door and tag the patrolling enemy and another enemy, but not the shielded one.
  37. 37
    Go back up and rappel down the shaft, turning upside down.
  38. 38
    Descend and shoot the shielded enemy from behind, then send in your team.
  39. 39
    Proceed to the end of the hallway. Stack your team on the door and instruct them to clear the room.
  40. 40
    Enter and use the outfitting boxes.
  41. 41
    Climb through the windows on the left to trigger a cutscene (cutscene). Observe the explosion to your left.
  42. 42
    Position your team on the rappel points and instruct them to descend.
  43. 43
    Follow your team and engage the few enemies in the lower area.
  44. 44
    Clear the initial enemies, then advance to a bar on the left and use a turret as you move your team forward.
  45. 45
    Clear this area, then confront a large group of enemies in the lobby.
  46. 46
    You can attempt to enter from the door behind the second bar, or position your team by the doors to the left and provoke the enemies by peeking through the door behind the bar.
  47. 47
    If successful, enemies will attempt to exit through the main doors on the left, where your team can engage them.
  48. 48
    If not, blast your way inside and use the rappel point.
Tips
  • Consider swapping your sniper rifle for a shotgun before this mission.
  • When enemies attempt to storm the location, reposition your team for cover by the window.
  • If you are taking damage, retreat to cover.
  • Remember that your team also has frag grenades.
  • To turn upside down while rappelling on the 360, click the Left Stick (LS). The control may be similar on the PS3.
  • If a smoke grenade hinders your view, you can still tag enemies or wait for the smoke to clear.
  • A strategic plan for the elevator shaft involves descending the stairs with your team, stacking them on the door, snaking it, and tagging enemies before rappelling down the shaft yourself.
  • If the enemy does not exit through the main doors as planned, be prepared to blast your way inside.
