The above screenshot presents the map for the location, in which you play mission eight of the game. These are a vast canyon and the title factory, which works at manufacturing a super-heavy tank. On the map, there have been, predominantly, the most important locations marked (main objectives, main paths, etc.), as well as the whereabouts of collectibles.
Apart from that, there are colorful dots on the map:
- The red dots stand for the locations, in which you encounter the enemies. Note - some of the enemies do not stay put and they are patrolling a given area. What has not been marked on the map, is the enemies that arrive in the factory after you have started an alarm, and the ones arriving with the enemy vehicle. The reason for that is the fact that they position themselves in random positions and/or start patrolling, at random.
- The green dot represents the halftrack that you deal with further into the mission, i.e. after you set explosives to the hall with the Ratte tank.
Mission preparations
Paradoxically, the final mission of the game, does not have you get prepared in any special way. Simply, make sure that you have taken along the best available sniper rifle. Also, make sure that you have taken a suppressed pistol with you, because you are going to need it for silent elimination of the enemies patrolling the factory.
Mission statistics
Optional tasks and challenges:
- You need to find four schematics for the advanced weapon. They are located in points 5, 8, 9 and 12 on the map. Note - make sure that you have obtained three, out of four, schematics, before you use the cargo lift to the hall with the Ratte tank (you will not be allowed to return to the previous locations!).
- You need to visit three Sniper Nests.
- You need to score one Long Shot. You take it after you take your position in the sniper nest that you access along a cave (the entrance to the cave is in point 7 on the map, and the nest itself is the blue point 2 on the map).
Collectibles:
- You need to find five War Diaries.
- You need to find five Collectible Cards.
