Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As the pilot circles the execution ground, shoot any visible enemies. Proceed east, watching for an RPG on a building near the guard tower.
  2. 2
    Arrive at the prison area. Knock out the RPG gunner halfway up the hill, then eliminate the three guards firing at the operative. Deal with additional forces running down the hill, including another RPG gunner and a foot soldier. Tranquilize the driver of an approaching jeep or destroy it.
  3. 3
    After the area is clear, the operative will enter a jeep. Follow him, prioritizing shooting drivers out of pursuing vehicles and eliminating RPG soldiers.
  4. 4
    Shoot the driver of a truck that cuts off the operative. As he reverses past a guard tower, shoot the RPG gunner near the building behind it. Eliminate the driver of a second chase vehicle. As the operative passes the anti-aircraft gun, take out the RPG gunner beside it, followed by the driver of a third chase vehicle.
  5. 5
    As the operative's vehicle enters the helipad area, take out the guard near the anti-aircraft gun. The operative will stop near a building on the eastern side of the heliport. Neutralize enemies appearing around the helipads, watching for an RPG in the large control tower over the admin building.
  6. 6
    Once the helipad is clear, the helicopter will land. Exit the helicopter, sprint to the operative, grab the RPG leaning against the wall behind him, and carry the operative to the back of the building.
  7. 7
    An armored vehicle will appear. Use the RPG to destroy it. Run back around the front of the building, using crates for cover while reloading, and hit the vehicle with rockets when you see an opening. Three RPG hits should destroy it.
  8. 8
    After destroying the armored vehicle, use your stun revolver to neutralize three infantry soldiers approaching from the west.
  9. 9
    Your helicopter will descend for extraction. As you fly away, an enemy helicopter will appear. For the zero kill achievement/trophy, use your stun revolver to shoot the guard firing from its open door. Otherwise, use the RPG to hit the hostile chopper three times to end the mission.
Tips
