Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the sniper rifle

    Take the rifle hidden at the construction site and get a suitable vehicle for following the railway. Reach Cranberry Station before the reporter’s train leaves.

  2. Follow the train

    Keep up along the railway route toward Market Station. Watch for oncoming trains, tunnels and trackside obstacles rather than riding directly into the path of another locomotive.

  3. Follow at a distance

    When the reporter leaves the station, stay back and watch the suspicion meter. Let him find a taxi, then follow its route without crowding the car or drawing police attention.

  4. Wait for the meeting

    Do not shoot while the reporter is still travelling. Hold your distance at the destination until the objective identifies both targets together.

  5. Eliminate both targets

    Use the sniper rifle from a clear position and finish both marked people. Check the radar after the first shot so the second target does not escape unnoticed.

Key point

Getting too close can end the mission before the shooting stage. If the suspicion meter rises, create distance immediately rather than continuing bumper-to-bumper behind the taxi.
