Complete the Airstrip mission in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 by using cover and stealth to eliminate enemies. Learn enemy positions and tactics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the door, descend the steps on the left, and take cover (using obstacles for protection) by the left column near the small steps.
  2. 2
    Activate night vision and wait for the enemy on the left to turn away, then emerge to eliminate him.
  3. 3
    Another enemy will appear on the right; wait for him to show himself and take your time to hit him within a few seconds.
  4. 4
    Locate three more enemies: one on the left, one on the right, and one near the doors. Use your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) (a small map on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) - Heads-Up Display) to track them as you get closer.
  5. 5
    Prioritize the enemy on the right. When he is walking away, quickly eliminate him silently.
  6. 6
    Return to the left corridor and take cover behind a concrete block.
  7. 7
    Wait for the next guard to walk into view and quickly shoot him in the face.
  8. 8
    Remain in the corridor and take up a position behind the block at the corner.
  9. 9
    Use your minimap to track the last enemy. Wait for him to reach ground level, aim where his head will be, and ensure you land a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) (a shot to the head, which is usually lethal) to prevent more enemies from rushing you.
  10. 10
    If you eliminate all five enemies without being seen, proceed to the two doors, each covered by one enemy.
  11. 11
    Use a smoke grenade or a flashbang for the doors. Toss smoke directly into the doorway, activate your thermals (a vision mode that highlights heat signatures), and eliminate the visible enemy.
  12. 12
    More enemies are inside the corridor; consider using more smoke or tossing fragmentation grenades (frags) and engaging aggressively.
  13. 13
    Go through the doors and up the ladder.
  14. 14
    Fast rope down and look left for a brief cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic event).
  15. 15
    Enemies will swarm you; take cover, but you are intended to black out, so do not worry.
  16. 16
    Watch the events unfold to complete the section.
Tips
  • Using smoke grenades can be very effective for clearing the doorways.
  • A silent elimination of the first few enemies can help maintain stealth.
  • Pay close attention to the minimap to track enemy movements and plan your approach.
  • Landing a headshot on the last enemy before the doors is crucial to avoid reinforcements.
