Reaching an enemy outpost

Map legend:

1 – starting area

2 – area where you’ll receive a new mission goal

3 – largest groups of enemy units

You’ll be given many opportunities here, because there are a lot of different ways to reach your destination. I wouldn’t recommend moving near the water, because you would have to avoid the boat constantly. There are some exceptions, however it would be better to use the jungle for cover. Start off by going south. Be careful, though. You may encounter a small patrol here. I would recommend hiding in the bushes and surprising the soldiers once they’re closer to your position. You could also try and avoid them.

You won’t have to leave the main road for the time being, because you won’t encounter any additional troops here. Eventually you’ll come across a much larger beach (screen). I wouldn’t recommend going to your left, because there are a lot of enemy soldiers there (3 on the map). Instead, move forward and hide near the palm trees.

The beach itself is being patrolled by at least two enemy soldiers, however you should focus your attention on an enemy humvee. Look at the screen – that’s where you’ll find this vehicle. Use the jungle for cover in order to get closer to the humvee. Attack it from the rear, however make sure that you aren’t seen by anyone.

Obviously you will have to take out the gunner in the first place. A single shot to his head will do the trick. You’ve got two choices here – you can use your silenced weapon to get rid of the remaining enemy troops or you can mount a machine gun (screen). I would recommend choosing the second approach, because otherwise you’d have to spend too much time on the beach.

Once you’ve killed all enemy soldiers, go back to the jungle, because more enemy vehicles may arrive in this area. I had to deal with only one more humvee (screen), but your behavior pattern should allways be the same – start with the gunner and then kill soldiers standing near the truck. Eventually you’ll have to secure this entire area.

I’d strongly recommend using one of these vehicles to your advantage, however make sure that the boat has left this area. Start moving towards your current destination. You should be using the main road. You’ll probably encounter several soldiers along the way (3 on the map). Use the machine gun (on the vehicle) to get rid of them. You’ll receive a warning that there are more enemy units in the area. Exit the vehicle and start moving north on foot.

Head on to your left, because enemy soldiers are guarding a nearby beach (3 on the map). I guess I won’t have to remind you to use camouflage, because that’s the only way to get close enough to them. Try eliminating them with single shots to the head and from a cover, so none of them uses a flare to warn other enemy troops of your presence.

Try going back to the main road leading north. Depending on the outcome of previous fights, this area may be guarded by one of the vehicles (screen). As a result, you will have to neutralize it as soon as possible. Make sure that you’re using camouflage all the time, so you aren’t spotted by anyone.

Now it would be a good idea to leave this main road, because it’s not safe here and you would be exposed to enemy fire. Head on to your right. This is a dense jungle area, so you won’t have any problems avoiding the final encampment (3 on the map). You’ll only have to use maximum strength at some point in order to proceed to the upper ledge (screen). Keep heading towards your current destination. You should receive updated orders very soon.
