Main objective: Massacre the passengers
The beginning of the third mission of the campaign differs from the rest of the game - there is no open world, full of various activities, there are no additional objectives, or the possibility of taking a different approach and route than the authors predicted. It is a very linear level, in which you just have to get from one end of the train to the other, killing everyone on your way there.
There are several different wagons, which, more or less, are filled with people, who have to be killed (hence the main objective "Massacre the travelers"). A thing worth mentioning is the fact, that during the whole train chapter, you won't encounter numerous police forces (there's only a couple of policemen present on the train), or anyone from the army (there's a few of them at the final wagon), but for a change a large fraction of civilians will be wielding firearms (mainly pistols). You should remember about that fact all the time - a single person with a pistol will not be able to do much to you, but if you rush into a group of such individuals unprepared, you might end up getting killed (especially on the highest difficulty setting).
Another thing that should not be forgotten are immensely common explosive items, such as gas tanks, or fire extinguishers. You can use them to easily get rid of a large group of people, but remember to stay away from them as far as possible - enemies might blow them up as well (even if they will not be aiming at them, a stray bullet can reach such an object), sometimes resulting in your instant death.
Main objective: Stop the train
After you reached the penultimate wagon, a new main objective, called "Stop the train" will become active for you. Proceed to the next wagon with caution, as there is a small group of soldiers there, equipped with Assault Rifles (you can pick them up upon their death). This weapon deals extreme amounts of damage - 2-3 enemies wielding this firearm will be able to empty your entire health bar in a matter of seconds. You should take them out from a safe distance because of another reason - they are using Grenades (which can be picked up as well), which, as you can imagine, deal immense damage if you are in the vicinity of their impact (note that soldiers don't care about their surroundings and they will throw grenades even if a group of civilians will end up being blown up).
The last thing to remember, is the lack of any optional objectives, what is closely associated with the lack of any respawn points. If the mentioned soldiers (or anyone else on the train) manage to kill you, you will have to play the whole mission from the very beginning. After you break through soldiers and enter the next wagon, a short cutscene initiates, and you will find yourself outside the train.
Main objective: Cleanse the truck stop
You will be given a new main objective: "Clear the station". You have to kill 80 people, but as you probably already guessed, you will kill a lot more of them. In the area in which you start upon leaving the train you won't find a living soul, that is why you should head North, towards two icons on your radar - those are the only two optional missions available to you during this mission. Additionally, those are placed really close to one another.
Optional objective: Eliminate motel guests
The first one is "Eliminate motel guests" - a very similar to the one you encountered in the previous mission. You have to clear the motel building itself, as well as the closest surround area from the people, after which you will be given a respawn point. While doing so, watch out for a group of cops approaching you from the North, as all of them are equipped with shotguns - if they all barge in into your room and they will be able to fire a few times, your character will soon be dead. It is better to just leave the motel via the Southern exit and wait for them to come at you.
Optional objective: Blow up the gas station
The second optional objective, "Blow up the fuel station" can be done in a matter of seconds. After arriving at the fuel station, locate the fuel canister placed close to a parked truck - all you have to do is to shoot a single bullet at it, back away a little bit and, after a few seconds, observe, as the fuel station is destroyed in a chain of huge explosions. After you have completed the task, you will be given a respawn point.
Main objective: Steal the armed SWAT truck
After completing both optional objectives, you have to kill the remaining amount of people, to complete the main objective and receive another, final one during this mission: "Steal an armed SWAT truck". Before you steal it, move around the map to collect all the ammo from the fallen SWAT officers. There is nothing of importance to do here anymore, so just head towards the yellow marker on your radar and enter the indicated vehicle to finish the mission.
