Mission walkthrough
-
Survive the opening attack
Use the helicopter weapon during the first approach. After the scripted crash, swim to the freighter and climb aboard at the indicated access.
-
Obtain a firearm
Move quietly behind the first guard and use the knife when possible. Collect the dropped weapon and ammunition before moving deeper into the ship.
-
Reach the refugees
Work through the cargo area using containers as cover. Clear the guard near the refugees and shoot the container padlock to release them.
-
Clear the bridge
Follow the next objective toward the bridge and eliminate its defenders. Complete the confrontation with Snakehead instead of returning to the refugees too early.
-
Leave with the rescued group
Return to the refugees after the bridge is secure. Approach their escape point to trigger the dinghy departure and mission completion.
Key point
Do not rely on the weapon loadout you had before the helicopter sequence. Pick up equipment from the early guards and avoid wasting the first available ammunition.
