Mission walkthrough
-
Cover the yacht's rear
After departure, move to a position with a clear view of the pursuing attackers. Shoot enemies before they can keep firing into the yacht. Keep an eye on the vessel's condition and change targets when a boat is no longer an active threat.
-
Clear the obstruction ahead
When the objective moves to the front, head along the deck and destroy the boats blocking the route. Aim steadily from the bow rather than continuing to fight behind the yacht while it is unable to move forward.
-
Deal with incoming helicopters
Track the helicopters as they approach and fire while they remain exposed. Letting them hover gives their attackers time to damage the yacht or deploy men. Use the deck to improve your line of sight, but avoid falling overboard during rapid repositioning.
-
Destroy the final aerial threat
Keep firing into the last attacking helicopter until it is brought down and the escape sequence completes. Collect available supplies on deck when you need them, but do not leave an immediate threat unattended for a long tour of the yacht.
Key point
Follow the current defence objective: rear, blocked route, then aircraft. This mission is needed for 100% completion but can be skipped on a route focused only on the ending.
