Part 32

Origin: Any of the four weapons shops in the Bowa-Seka sector.

Commendeer the vehicle at the northeast bus station. Be aware of a patrol truck with a grenade launcher turret that periodically passes the bus station and weapon shop.

Drive west from the weapon shop, transitioning into the northern sector. Time your arrival when the convoy is at the far end of its circuit.

When you emerge from the mountains, a ruined village will be below, and beyond it, a small isolated mountain near the road junction.

With the convoy still distant, sprint through the ruins, cross the road, and hide in the undergrowth on the slope of the small isolated mountain. You will be overlooking the road where the convoy will pass.

Monitor the convoy's approach from the south and use the grenade launcher on the convoy as it approaches from near the Outpost.

The demise of the convoy will draw a patrol vehicle from the nearby Outpost. Use your last grenade to take it out.

The response from the safe house is usually a single defender. Either snipe him and his two buddies to liberate the safe house and steal their vehicle, or get back to your own vehicle to exit the area. Taking this safe house can provide an alternate route into areas to the west on later missions.

Note: Before exiting the ruins, acquire a diamond case (2) lying in the sand near a large boulder on the south side of the ruins.

.

Take the dune buggy at the southwest bus station and drive cross-country due north into the depressed area.

Hug the western cliff face to negotiate the narrow canyon passage as you go north. Veer west, parking near the large baobab tree where you can find a diamond case (2).

Leave the vehicle and monitor the position of the convoy on your (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) as you walk north through the ravine. Cross the roadway about midway between the safe house and the east guard post.

A large climbable rock formation on the north side of the road at that point is a perfect ambush spot. Scamper up to the top and use the grenade launcher as the convoy travels east toward the bridge and the guard post.

Once the convoy is destroyed, a vehicle from the guard post will respond quickly. Use your last grenade and then get back to your car, using the diamond case icon to more easily locate it. Head south to vacate the scene.

Note: If you exit the ambush site via the east canyon and veer eastward, the diamond locator will flash and you will find a diamond case (2) in a bone-filled pit near a crude lean-to.

.

From the southwest bus station, drive the dune buggy west. Stop at the wrecked bus and go inside to grab the Jackal Tape.

Continue north on the desert road and stop near the fence and the billboard. Use your (locator) to find the diamond case (2) among the boulders west of the road.

Continue north on the fading roadway and bear west off-road before the road fades south of the safe house. This point is near two small cactuses, one on each side of the road.

Go northwest and then due north around the mountain southwest of the weapon shop. This bypasses the first guard post to the north.

Stop at the SUV, drive it forward and take the diamonds from the case (2).

Continue north in the dune buggy, staying well west of the guard post. When the steep dunes begin to break, veer east to find an abandoned well with both a Jackal Tape and a diamond case (2) southwest of the guard post.

Continue northeast, aiming for a point northwest of the guard post. Park and climb the high overlook northwest of the facility. From this high overlook, you can view the guard post and monitor the movement of the convoy.

The west convoy has a large circuit. If it is out of the area, use the dart rifle to systematically wipe out the three guards at the guard post.

When the convoy approaches from the north, use the grenade launcher to take out the big truck. Taking out the escort trucks is not necessary because your dune buggy gives you an advantage in the rough terrain if pursuit develops. Take them out anyway because, if you wiped out the guard post, you can descend, swim across the water, and find the diamond case (3) on the hillside.

Return to your dune buggy and keep in mind that there is a weapon shop not far to the south where you can resupply, purchase new weapons, and take on another convoy mission if you haven’t completed them.

Time: Night is preferred.

.

Take the patrol boat from the north riverside boat dock in Port Saleo and pilot it northeast toward the Polytechnic.

Stop at the boat dock at the weapon shop if needed, and then at the safe house, if needed, to forward time to night. Go ashore.
