Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Center Stage walkthrough: Use the SR-25 SD silenced sniper rifle and infiltrate to disarm the bomb.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Proceed through the doors ahead to find outfitting boxes.
  2. 2
    Go down the hall and send your team in first to assist friendly NPCs.
  3. 3
    After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), cautiously advance up the hall towards enemies at the end. Some enemies will rappel; eliminate them before they reach the ground.
  4. 4
    Proceed up to the right.
  5. 5
    Stack your team on the door and order them to breach and clear. Join them and use frag grenades to eliminate the turret gunner and shield enemies.
  6. 6
    Enter the room, hack the computer, and man the turret. Reload if necessary and eliminate waves of enemies, prioritizing shield enemies' feet or heads.
  7. 7
    Once the dialogue indicates the threat is neutralized, exit the turret.
  8. 8
    Go to the outfitting box and equip the SR-25 SD sniper rifle. Have another good gun as backup. If things go wrong, be prepared to retry from the last checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
  9. 9
    Proceed through the next door. Position your team behind the door or elsewhere in the hall to keep them out of immediate action.
  10. 10
    Move left to another door. Snake the door (peek through the gap) and tag the soldier on the catwalk.
  11. 11
    Take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) by the door and wait for the soldier's marker to move away before opening the door and eliminating him with the SR-25 SD.
  12. 12
    Crouch, activate night vision, and carefully exit. Locate and eliminate the patrolling guard on the upper balcony.
  13. 13
    Target the guard patrolling on the stage. Time your shot as he walks, aiming at a point in the air where he will pass. Killing him while he walks along the front of the stage is likely to go unnoticed.
  14. 14
    Eliminate the patrolling guard on the floor level to the left.
  15. 15
    Locate the final enemy by the bomb at the back of the stage. Move slightly right on the catwalk and snipe him.
  16. 16
    Once all enemies are eliminated, call your team to you. Consider having them move around the catwalk to spot any missed enemies.
  17. 17
    Fast rope down to the balcony with your team, then use the railing to fast rope to the floor.
  18. 18
    Advance to the stage and assign a team member to disarm the bomb.
  19. 19
    After the bomb is disarmed, stack your team on the door while set to Infiltrate and snake the door.
  20. 20
    Have your team flash and clear the room. Once inside, crouch and shoot enemies through the openings in the shelves. You can pick up a 500 Tactical shotgun if desired.
  21. 21
    Proceed around the corner and stack your team on the left door. Snake the right door.
  22. 22
    As your team breaches, toss a frag grenade at the shield enemy simultaneously. Throwing it late may hit your own team.
  23. 23
    Once inside, set your team to cover near you and pick off enemies. Use a thermal scan and frags if needed.
  24. 24
    Move through the other side to a room with two doors. Stack your team on the right doors.
  25. 25
    Ensure your team is set to Infiltrate for the flash and clear (lightning bolt icon) option.
  26. 26
    Position yourself next to the left door, order them to flash and clear, and enter after the flashbang detonates. This should neutralize enemies and spare hostages.
  27. 27
    Set your team to Assault and prepare for a fight on the nearby stage. Position yourself and your team behind the cover of the drums.
  28. 28
    Use your scope to eliminate enemies positioned high up first, then focus on those in the seats, shooting through them if necessary.
  29. 29
    When the fighting subsides, move your team, proceed through the doors, go up the stairs, and approach another set of doors.
  30. 30
    Snake these doors and tag two enemies. Send your team in to clear them out.
  31. 31
    Advance around the corner into a hallway to conclude the scene.
Tips
  • The SR-25 SD sniper rifle, equipped with a silencer, is crucial for this section.
  • If detected, you have a limited time (about a minute or less) to reach the stage and disarm the bomb before it explodes. This alternative path involves fighting additional enemies from outside and behind the stage, making it significantly more difficult.
  • When engaging shield enemies, aim for their feet or heads.
  • Use the environment for cover, such as boxes and railings.
  • The thermal scan can help identify enemies through obstacles.
