Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, wait for two mercenaries hiding behind crates to come after you, then kill them.

    Enter the hall and shoot mercenaries through the office glass.

  4. 4
    After the cinematic, leave the office and run down the hall.
  5. 5
    Shoot-dodge through the door, firing at the mercenary inside.
  6. 6
    As you exit bullet time, turn to face the window and shoot the second mercenary appearing from the other door.
  7. 7
    After both are dead, collect the folder on the table for a cinematic, Molotov Cocktails from the green cabinet, and three painkillers from the wall cabinet.
  8. 8

    Shoot the laser tripwire sensor on the right wall from the corner to avoid its explosion. Alternatively, toss a grenade into the room.

  13. 13
    Head through the door and onto the catwalk.

  17. 17
    Run across and open the door at the end of the catwalk.

    The room is full of laser tripwires. Open the door and throw a grenade inside to cause a chain reaction that destroys them all.
  19. 19
    Enter the room and pick up the grenade by the green door on your left.
  20. 20
    Leave through the other door, but be ready for a mercenary appearing from the gas pipe room.
  21. 21
    Duck back into the room and engage him, then run down the catwalk to the next door.
  22. 22
    Use another grenade to destroy the laser tripwires in this area.
  23. 23
    Head inside, waiting for flammable gas from pipes to stop before proceeding.

    Repeat for the second pipe, then shoot-dodge around the corner.
  25. 25
    Kill the mercenary by the door and pick up Ingram ammo from the red crates.
  26. 26
    Shoot the sparking control panel through the window to open the locked gate.
  27. 27
    Jump over the railing to enter the gate, turn off the gas, and proceed through the door.
  28. 28
    Shoot-dodge across the gap created by explosions and walk counterclockwise along the wall to a crate in the far left corner.

    Jump on the crate and drop to the platform below.
  30. 30
    Press the button on the railing to extend the bridge and cross it.

    Enter the next area with two levels.

    Wait in the other room for the mercenary who drops down to appear and kill him.
