Complete the Betting Against the House mission in far cry 3. Escape the compound within 12 minutes and deal with a helicopter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You have 12 minutes to escape The Compound and reach the airstrip where Riley is. Fast travel is disabled.
  2. 2
    Run past the numerous enemies, including Heavies, to exit the compound.
  3. 3
    A checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) will be triggered when you reach the gate.
  4. 4
    Once outside, grab the nearby vehicle and drive towards the airstrip. Avoid the road and drive through the grass to evade enemies, some of whom have RPGs.
  5. 5
    You will need to cross Littlegate Bridge, which raises as you approach. Ensure your vehicle is not too damaged to make it over.
  6. 6
    As you near the bridge close to the airstrip, a helicopter will attack. You can destroy it with an RPG or by using the vehicle's mounted machine gun.
  7. 7
    After destroying the helicopter, drive into the airstrip. The timer will stop upon entry.
  8. 8
    Search the airstrip for Riley. There are many enemies inside, so use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and take your time eliminating them.
  9. 9
    Proceed along the left side of the airstrip. A building with a yellow outline indicates Riley's location. If you have C4 or other explosives, you can use them to take out the Heavy behind the fence.
Tips
  • The best approach during the initial escape from the compound is to run straight for the exit.
  • Driving through the grass off-road is safer than sticking to the road.
  • If you don't have an RPG for the helicopter, use the vehicle's machine gun.
  • Once inside the airstrip, the timer is off, so prioritize stealth and using cover.
