Crackhouse:

After the opening scene, you are in control of Frank Castle. For the most part, this first mission is simply a tutorial so be sure to follow the on screen instructions carefully. Walk forward down the alley and give the thief there a quick kill when he attacks the woman there. Talk to her if you like and continue down the alley and around the corner. Head down the stairs and enter the door there to go inside the building. Walk forward and to the right to find a crackhead sitting down. Use an interrogation on him and he will tell you that the boss is on the fourth floor. Kill him and head to the right and another enemy will run around the corner. Quick kill him and continue down the corridor. Grab the shotgun off the table there and go to the right and up the stairs. Head through the door and enter the kitchen room where there will be a few enemies waiting. Kill them and go through the next door and there will be a hooker there.



Talk to her and she won’t open the gate for you. Go through the next door and you will enter a room with a TV and a few more enemies. Clear out the room and go through the door on the far wall. When you are in the hall, there will be an opening on the right to shoot through. Pop the two enemies in there using the zoom mode and continue around the corner and grab the guy there as a shield. Go through the door and take out the shotgun crackhead and go right. Go through the next door and enter a large room with a few enemies inside. Clear out the room and go through the door on the far right to enter another staircase. Follow it up to the third floor and kill the enemies through the hole in the wall to the next room. There are also gold splashes here on the floor that will allow you to make special kills if you want to enter the room and kill them that way. Go through the next door and kill the crackhead in the left corner. Go through the next door in the same room and you will come to a crackhead with a white skull over his head. Use the window to interrogate him and head through the door. Kick it open and waste the enemies there.



Continue through to the next room and you will come to a crackhead that has a girl hostage. Use the pistol and zoom in on his head. Pop him and head around the corner. Go through the last door on the left and clear out the enemies inside. One will try to run up the stairs on the right, but nail him first. Head up them afterwards and enter the room at the top to find a flashing TV and some more hoods. Cap everyone in the room and head to the right, through the opening in the wall. Head all the way through to the end and make a right. Head outside onto the catwalk and climb the ladder up to the fourth floor. Kick open the door and take down the two hoods that have hostages. Continue through the next door and kill the fodder there. When the room here is cleared out, enter the orange room on the left and Damage, the boss, will be behind a couch. Grab him and take him to the special interrogation spot to get some info out of him. Drop him or kill him and the mission will end.

The Chop Shop:

After the opening scene, make your way forward and to the right. Watch for the machine that will swing at you and clear the area out of enemies. Walk to the far side when everyone is dead and interrogate the guy there to find the Carlo Duka is the one running the show. Go through the large door and take down the few enemies in this area. Save the one with the white skull and drag him over to the grinding wheel to interrogate him. After you do, go to the loading dock in the far left corner and grab the flashbangs from the back of the truck. Head over to the stairs directly across from the truck and enter the room there. Open the drawer and go through the door to the hallway. Go left and kill the thug there and make a right through the next door. Head up the stairs and enter the cafeteria there and clear it out.



Head through the next door to work your way along a catwalk and down the ladder at the end. When you reach the floor, go nuts on everyone and kill the enemies that are everywhere. There will be a thug with a micro uzi in the far room and a few thugs in the car port. Once everyone is dead, enter the room on the far side and go through the door there. Save and make your way down the hallway until you come to another door with glass. Enter and kill the occupants and there will be two doors. The right will lead to some enemies and weapons and the left will lead to a room with a hole in the floor. Go through the right side door and stick to the left wall. Head around the corner to the door there and interrogate the thug inside. He will tell you that the armory up the stairs has an access code of 187. Head up the stairs on the right and follow the hallway around and out into the garage. Follow the pathway through the garage killing everyone along the way.



When you reach the forklift, activate it and it will drive over and takeout one of the enemies on the top catwalk. Continue around to the right and up the stairs to clear out the office there and the rest of the room. Go through the door to the right in the office and follow the hallway around past the desk on the right. Continue into the washroom and through the hallway to a wooden door. Save there and a scene will play. Once you enter the room, grab Duka and interrogate him over the edge. Once he’s smushed, head down the ladder and through the junkyard. Go forward and then to the left and around the corner. Wipe out everyone you come across until you enter the open building with the forklift in it. Head up the stairs on the right and you will come out side. Sneak down the ladder and across to the next. Climb up and use the crane controls to drop the car on the group of guys there. Head down to the ground and make your way to the far right corner where there is a car waiting. Hop in it and you will finish the mission.

Lucky’s Bar:

Bobby Gnucci uses this bar as his office, so let’s go pay him a visit shall we? When you first enter the bar, talk to the bartender and make your way to he far end. Grab the shotgun off the table and go to town on everyone. Once everyone in the bar is toasted and on the ground, head in to the back room and find Bobby. I fond the magnums were the best weapons to use against him. Crouch behind the couch and watch as Bobby runs back and forth. Zoom in on him and pop up when he stops moving. Pop a round or two into his head and duck back down. Continue doing that until he finally falls and you will complete this rather short mission.

Central Zoo:

It’s a trap! I guess it just doesn’t pay to be the Punishers neighbor. Enter the Zoo and take out the thug there. Grab the other with the info and take him to the wood chipper. Make him spill the beans and then shove him in. Head to the left and enter the Tikibar. Start clearing out the joint as you make your way through it to the door labeled exit and head back outside. Kill everyone in the area except for the thug with the info. Take him to the fountain and make him squeal and finish him off. He’ll tell you that Bushwacker is taking Joan to the rainforest so turn to the left and head through the wooden doors. Save there and you will be inside some hallways. Head around the right corner and a thug will walk out of the washroom. Grab him and drag him over to the toilet. Get his info and finish him off and head through the next door way. Kill all the enemies that will appear here, from the front and the back.



When the hallway is cleared out, head through the door at the end and enter the office there. Clear it out and the enemies that enter and head through the door on the right. Follow that hallway around and it will take you to a set of double doors and lead you outside. Head to the left around the corner and there will be a lone thug there to interrogate. Do so and head up the escalator. Kill the enemies there and up the next set of stairs to come to a wooden bridge. Cross it as Bushwacker shoots at you and he will take off as you get close. Make a right when you reach the far side and follow the stairs down to the ground. Go through the door after you kill the swarm of enemies here and follow the corridor around to a large room with an altar in the center. Use your slaughter mode to clear out the room quickly and easily. Once it is, go through the double doors on the right and save.



Head forward to the opening where there are two guards standing and waste them and the one with the hostage. After they are dead, talk to the hostage and he will tell you that Bushwacker set up a trap on the stone bridge. Make your way to the end and head left. Clear out the enemies here and you will see Bushwacker walking with Joan down the walkway under a bridge. Don’t go under it or else it will explode and fall on you. Head to the left and go through the small gate there and take the stairs down to the ground. Kill the Gnucci’s you can find here and make your way forward through the large gray door. Make your way up the stairs and to the walkway and you will eventually come to a metal gate with a worker behind it. After you talk to him he will tell you that he will open it if all the Gnucci’s are dead. You will now have a counter to show you how many are remaining. Head back to the ground area and take them all out. When you have it down, return to the gate and the worker will let you through.



Go down the stairs and enter the large doors and there will be a group of thugs there with two hostages. Kill them and let the workers live and they will help you after you talk to them. Use the special interrogation on the thug with the info and head outside. Enter the birds and butterflies building and you will be in a large room with more Gnucci’s and workers. Kill all the enemies and go through the double doors on the far side. After you save, go through the next set of doors and make your way around to the right. Head up the ramp there to the next area and you will hear the announcer talking about electric eels. Kill the enemies here and the one around the corner by tossing him off the side. If you interrogated him, he’ll have told you there was an ambush waiting. Go through the door on the right that say rays and eels of the great Caymans and go through the double doors.



Head to the left and continue through the room and go through the doors under the giant shark. When you get out here, you will hear Joan yell. Follow the left passage around and Bushwacker will tell you that you can either chase him or save Joan. Head straight through the door ahead and follow the stairs up to the walkway around the large room. Joan will be on the right as you enter in a cage. Head across to the other side and then to the right where she is. Interrogate the guy there and he will tell you there is a emergency switch in the room behind the waterfall. You also now have a timer and three minutes to save her. Go to the right of the winch, through the door there and hit the switch. It will drop the cage down and Joan will be freed. Climb down the ladder in the center and talk to her to finish the mission.

Grey’s Funeral Home:

How fitting. After the opening scene, wait until all is quiet and then sit up. Clear out the room with your machine gun and when almost everyone is toast, hop out. Finish off the remaining few and enter the room on the left. Interrogate the thug there after everyone is dead and he will tell you to check the basement. Head through the door to the right of where you entered and kill the enemies in the kitchen and elevator. Go to the far right and go through the door on the right side that will take you down a floor. Enter the room there and clear it out as you make your way through to the other side. Head through the next set of doors and enter the morgue area where some thugs are standing around a body.



Kill them and the rest of the thugs down the small stairs to the left side. Interrogate the enemy with the white skull in the cremator and he will tell you there is a secret room next to the boiler. Go through the door next to the office and clear out the room. Press the switch on the wall to the right of the boiler and you will enter a small room. Plant the bomb on the red marker and you will have a timer of 10 seconds to clear out of the room. Head back out the same way you came in and head for the stairs. Save and make your way up to the next floor and out to the right. Go through the open doorway and up the next flight of stairs there. Make your way around the walkway and into the next room. Clear it out and head through the door at the far end. A thug in here will take a girl hostage. Kill him and enter the hallway and interrogate the chump there. He will tell you that there are six guys in the next room waiting for you.



Enter the room and use your slaughter mode to clear them all out. Head to the left and follow the hallway around to find a few more enemies. Enter the first door on the right and go to the corner of the room to find some stairs. Head up them and save. Now you will have the fun time of hunting down Eddie Gnucci. When you enter the attic area, it will be a maze of sorts with enemies crawling all over it and Eddie among them. Use quick kills to take down the regular thugs quickly and easily and use the machine guns to work on Eddie. He takes a lot of hits when you finally run into him and he deals a good amount of damage as well. When you find the thug in the grey suit, which will be Eddie. Keep firing at him and following him around from room to room until you have hit him enough times to drop him. When you do, the mission will end and unlock two new missions. Gnucci Mansion:

Make your way forward and up the stairs on the left. Enter the well area and kill everyone here. Continue forward and up the next set of stairs. There are a bunch of nice new weapons here, so grab something frilly if you like. Head past the fountain and go to the left until you reach the open doorway. Enter there and save and a scene will play, After it is over, you’ll be in the wine cellar. Head through the doorway and enter the next room. Push over the shelf onto the thug and wait for the rest to enter. Kill them and make your way left through the next room. Follow the hallway around to the door at the end and go through. Clear out the hallway and in a room on the right side will be a guy in a cage. Talk to him and he will tell you to turn the pepper picture in the hall to find a secret passage. Head back out into the hall and make a left to find the picture. Turn it and head down the stairs.



Follow the hallway to the gambling room and use slaughter mode to clear it out. Once everyone is dead, head up the corridor on the right side and enter the small office there. Interrogate the thug there and he will tell you that Pete is a drug dealer. Grab the key and unlock the security gate and head back up the stairs. Kill the new wave of enemies that appear and unlock Pete’s cage. Kill him if you like now that he is a bad guy and head to the right, through the door that was previously locked and up the stairs where the explosion takes place. Save there and head up the rest of the stairs. When you enter the hallway, clear it out of enemies and make a left and then a right. Go through the door there and you will hear Ma Gnucci yelling about killing you. Kill everyone in here except the thug with the info and interrogate him in the fireplace. Take him as a shield and go through the door on the right. When you enter, the thug will tell everyone in there to drop their weapons.



When they do, continue through the room and into the next. The enemies in here will open fire on you so clear out the room and head to the right. Continue through the room and down the hall until you hit the save point. From here you can just follow the hallway through the available doors until you enter the bar area. Clear it out of the many enemies inside and interrogate the thug with info. He will tell you that there is an armory and the key to it is in the secret room behind the pool table. Pull the lamp on the wall to the right of it and find the key. Once you have it, head through the door to the right of where you entered and follow the hallway around to the right. You will come to a hallway leading left and it will take you to a large lobby. Kill the mass swarm of enemies here, upstairs and down. When all is quiet, head up the stairs and follow the hallway around until you enter the room at the end that has a horse statue and some knights. Interrogate the thug there and then enter the Library when he is dead. Now you will be in a showdown with Bushwacker and a few enemies.



Chase him around the Library and let him have it. When he starts firing at you with the big guns, stay on the opposite side of the library and zoom in to fire at him. When you need more ammo or weapons, be sure to chase down a few thugs to get some. Once you have hit Bushwacker enough times, a scene will play and you will have 4 minutes to vacate the house. Kill the thug on the balcony and enter the door on the right. Kill the folks in here except for the thug with info. He will tell you to check the clock in the corner to find a secret room. Enter it and shoot the sprinklers on the ceiling to put out the fires. Walk past them and disable the security. Head back out and enter the door on the far right. Make a left to kill the enemies on the stairs and then head back to the right. Pop the sprinklers on the ceiling and head down the hall. Make a left and enter the double doors there. Clear out this room of all the enemies and the door on the right side will become unlocked. Enter the room and kill ma and the mission will end.

Pier 74:

Now that the Gnucci’s are toast, it’s time to find where the drugs are coming from. Walk forward and make your way to the right. Follow the dock all the way to the end and kill everyone you come across. Grab the thug with the info and interrogate him. He’ll tell you that there are some grenades under the dumpster. Push it to grab them and head through the gate on the right. Follow the pier along and head right at the gap. Kill the thugs there and follow around the alley to the door at the back. Enter the building there and kill everyone except the info thug. Get the info about Black widow from him and head out the front door. Follow the pier to the right and continue to kill everyone along the way to the end. Enter the restaurant at the end and clear it out of enemies. Go through the door in the back corner and interrogate the enemy in the kitchen.



He will tell you that the Black Widow is being questioned in the back room. Follow through the doorway and down the hall. Enter the room on the right and kill the enemies in there. After the chat with the Widow, she will be along side you in the fight. Head outside and down the alley. Kick the dumpster there and use it as cover as it rolls down. Again just kill everything in sight and go through the white gate when all is quiet. When you go through, the Russians will be fighting the Yakuza on the dock. Kill both sides except the info thug and interrogate him. After that, continue along the pier by following Widow and she will tell you to stop at the gate. Listen to the conversation and then go through. Kill the enemies there and head up the stairs. Enter the building and kill the enemies along the catwalk and make your way down the stairs. Go through the hallway to the door at the end and head outside. Follow the pier again and you will meet up with Black Widow again.



Follow her around to a building and she will open the gate using a code. Enter the building and help her clear out all the enemies inside. Interrogate the thug near the controls and he will tell you of a weapons locker on the wall. Grab the weapons there if you need them and then you and Widow will split up. After you save, head forward and through the gate to enter a large area. Kill everyone in here and then go through the fence gate on the left side. Enter the room here and head up the ramp to find some enemies standing there. Kill them and interrogate the info thug. He will tell you of a tank. Super. Toss him over the side and continue into the next room. Clear it out and go through the door on the left wall to come out to a catwalk. Head to the left and follow it around until you come to a ladder.



Climb up it and use the crane controls to bash the crane into the boat. Once the boat sinks, head back down the ladder and through the door. Make your way forward, past the ramp on the left and into the next area. Go through the door at the far left and you will come outside. Climb down the ladder and save Black Widow again. Kill everyone here and interrogate the info thug to learn that you need explosives to take out the tank. Use the lever to open the gate to the warehouse and head on inside it. After the scene plays, you will be face to face with a tank. Head to the left side of the building and there will be a crate of ammo and a grenade launcher. Grab it and start lobbing grenades over the crates to hit the tank. After you have hit it enough times the tank will blow and the mission will end.

The Igor Baltiysky:

After the intro scene, make your way forward and clear out the deck of the ship. Kill everyone and even the info thug if you like since he says nothing important other than he doesn’t know if there is a nuke on board. Once everyone is dead, enter the door with the green light above it. Make a right down the stairs and go through the next door with a green light. Enter the room and make a left around the corner and clear out the room. Head to the right, through the open door and clear out this room as well. After you interrogate the snitch, go through the green lit door and climb down the ladder. Climb down the one behind it as well and kick open the door at the bottom that will lead to the engine room. Clear out the room and plant the explosive on the red marker. Interrogate the thug and he will tell you to find the captain to find out about the nuke. Continue through the engine room and up the stairs on the far side.



Keep on moving along the catwalk and go through the door with the green light at the top of the stairs. When you enter the next room, you will need to go to the left and enter the control room there. Plant the second bomb there and more enemies will show up. Head down the stairs and kill them all. Go through the next door with a green light and save there. Continue through the next door. Make a right and follow the yellow arrow signs through the barracks, killing all the enemies that pop out to say hi to you. When you reach the door at the end of the hall, go through and make a right to reach some stairs. Head up them and enter the green door there marked A5. Make your way through the hallway, through the fog and out the green lit door to another stairwell.



Head up to the top and go through the door to save and trigger a scene with hookers. When you are back in control, you will be in a cargo bay. Head to the left and walk along the catwalk to enter the control room. Kill the thug there and use the controls to lower the container on the enemies below. After they are dead, clear out the room, upper and lower floors. Use the forklift to interrogate the snitch and he will tell you that the nuke isn’t on this ship. Head back up the stairs after you tell the girls in the container to stay put and enter the door there. Follow the hallway around slaughtering everyone until you come to a staircase. Go up it and follow this hallway around as well until you reach the captain quarters. When you enter, try and shot him without getting the girl killed. Once he is dead, the mission ends.

Castle’s Apartment:

For this short mission you only have one enemy to deal with and he is pretty simple. Wait until the Russian pounds on the ground and then he will be dazed. Get behind him and press A to jump on his back. When you are on him, walk him to the gold splash on the floor and start pounding his face with the refrigerator door. After he gets up, he’ll toss you through a wall or two and you will need to do the same thing again. This time smash his face through the computer monitors. After he throws you around again, you will finish him off by smashing his head through the television set. Once you have done that a few times, the mission is over.

Grand Nixon Island:

Now you are on the hunt for General Kreigkopf and his fancy nuke. After you land on the island, follow the path to the open area and use the sniper rifle to pop the two guards in each tower. Head forward and start to kill the enemies that come rushing out at you. Enter the building on the left and activate the switch to open the gate. Go through and follow the path up towards the group of enemies. Kill them all and continue to follow the path around the hill. Continue forward to the building and kill the enemies out front and on top of the roof. Enter through the door and make your way forward and to the right through the door. Kill everyone in sight and make your way to the far right corner to get to another hallway. Follow it to the door on the left and enter the barracks there. Clear it out and make your way around the room to the next doorway. Head through the double doors and you will come outside.



Make a left down the pathway and follow it to the next building. Enter it and clear it out and interrogate the snitch to learn of grenades in the storage room. Enter the room behind the small office and grab the explosives from the shelves and the grenades from the locker. Head back out and run to the left side where the fence is. Use the explosives on the generator there and watch it blow. When it does, walk to the fence and save. Make your way forward down the path some more and you will come to a stationary gun. Toss a grenade at him or use slaughter mode to take him down easily. Continue past it and take out the gang of enemies there. Keep on moving down the path until you reach the next building. Watch as the fence blows up and you run into Nick Fury. He will help you through the next area and get you through some doors. Head for the door after you take down the next stationary gunner and follow Nick through the hallway and outside. Just make your way around the building killing everything in sight along with him until you reach a door on the left side. Enter it and save.



Follow the hallway around to a large room and clear it out. Head behind the counter to the room there and interrogate the soldier to learn of a weapon storage. Leave the room and head down the hallway on the right. When you make it around the corner, kill the enemies there and the few in the window. Go to the door once they are dead and input the access code to go through. Enter there and circle around the back room and grab all the weapons there that you want or need. When you have them, head back out and return to where Nick Fury is and head up the hallway. Make a left at the end and enter the mess hall and clear it out of enemies as well as the kitchen. When Nick says all is clear, head through the doorway and follow the hallway around to a set of stairs. Climb up them and continue up to the door at the top. After the scene, head to the right and enter the elevator there. Take it for a ride and hop out. Follow the hallway to the next door and head outside.



Walk over to the gondola and pick up the sniper rifle. Press the button to activate the car and ride it across and take out the snipers before they destroy the gondola. When you reach the other side a short scene will play and you will face off against the big ass Russian again. This time he is a little more difficult to handle. When the battle starts, the Russian will be on the top catwalk walking back and forth. He will grab barrels and set them on fire before tossing them at you. When he does, shoot them before he throws them and they will hurt him. After a few barrels and when you get him down to half his health, he will be on fire and will jump down to you. Run from him and now you will need to shoot the brown barrels on the ground when he is near them to hurt him. The easiest way I found was there are two stacks of barrels around a pillar on the right side. Simply run around the pillar and shoot the brown barrels when he is close to them. The barrels reappear immediately so there is no shortage of them. Once he is down, enter the doorway under the missile and head up the stairs to find General Kreigkopf. Shoot him or grab him and the mission is over.

Fisk Industries:

Make your way forward to the two guards at the desk. Kill them and make your way to the right. Kill everyone in the lobby here and continue to the far wall. Walk to the garbage can and stash your c4 in there. Now you can go through the grey door on the left wall. Follow the stairs down and clear out the security office at the end. Grab some weapons and head around the corner to find a few more enemies. Kill them and grab the snitch to learn the deactivation code for the turrets around the corner. Enter it when you have it and walk past them through the next door. When you enter a scene with Bullseye will play. You won’t be able to kill him yet, so just keep giving him shots to him and he will eventually flee in to the elevator. When he does, head to it and hop on. Ride it to the next floor and exit.



Start taking out all the enemies in here and interrogate the snitch to make him tell his buddies that you’re dead. Kill him after he yells it and then head through the next sets of doors to reach a room with holes in the floor. Kill the enemies below you and Bullseye will show up again. Nail him in the head a few more times and with frag grenades that you can pick up from the ammo box and he will run away when he is at half his health. Head for the double doors in the far left corner that he runs through and go through yourself. Clear out the next room and grab the snitch to learn that Fisk’s office is up the stairs through the doors on the right. Head through them and down the hall, enter the lobby and head up the stairs to the door at the top. Go through and make a right and save there. Enter the door at the end of the hall and you will be in a showdown once and for all with Bullseye. Use the guns you have to shoot him in the head and use the grenades at the ammo box to knock him over.



When he falls down, shoot him in the head before he gets up for some free shots. Once you take him down enough, watch the scene and you will be in the middle of another battle. Head out the door after you kill all the Yakuza here and enter the elevator. It will take you down to the lobby where you were earlier. Kill everyone in here and head for the far end to get the C4 you stashed in the other room. When you grab it, head back out into the lobby and plant the c4 behind the stationary gun. Plant it and stay alive for another 20 seconds until the counter counts down. When it blows, run through the blown open door and the mission will end.
