Mission walkthrough

  1. Collect the equipment

    Go to El Castillo del Diablo, take the rocket launcher and choose one of the supplied off-road vehicles. Follow the route to the hilltop marker.

  2. Defend the cargo helicopter

    Watch the aircraft markers and aim at the hostile helicopters attacking the transport. Lead moving targets and avoid firing through the friendly aircraft’s position.

  3. Keep firing lanes clear

    Move a few steps when terrain or wreckage blocks a shot. Do not stand directly beneath a falling helicopter, and reload your view on the next hostile target after each hit.

  4. Retrieve and deliver the package

    Once the cargo is dropped, travel to its marker and pick it up. Take the contraband to the hideout to complete the job.

Key point

The escort is not finished when the hostile helicopters are destroyed. The package pickup and delivery are still required.
