Chapter 1 – One Last Stand

Mission One: Warehouse

Primary Objective:

Fight your way to the Warehouse

Secondary Objectives:

Take 2 Human Shields

Defeat 25 Enemies

Achieve 25% Accuracy

For this first mission, it is basically just to get your feet wet in the game and plays as a tutorial more or less. From the get go, make your way forward and some cops will appear from behind some cars there. Take them out and continue forward to the fence at the far end. Head through the opening and make a left to come to a hole in the fence. Crouch and walk through and then you will come to a wooden fence. Vault over it and pop the guard there. To the right will be an alleyway with another wooden fence that you can hop over to get a med pack. Grab it if you need it and then continue along the way you were going until you reach the corner at the far end.

Pop the two cops that come running around the corner and the other two that are around the corner. Make your way to where they were and one will appear on the balcony above you. Take him out and continue to the wooden fence. Open the gate there and continue through. Take out the two cops hiding behind the cars here and there will be an electrical fence in the corner to the right. You need to turn off the power to it, so watch behind you as some more cops will appear through a gate. Pop them and continue through and take out the rest of the cops there. Make your way around the corner and enter the room at the far end. Vault over the fence and turn off the power. Make your way back out through the fenced area and head back over to the electrical fence that is now turned off. Climb up the ladder and head along the catwalk.

Two cops will run out, take them out and enter the warehouse. Head down the stairs and take your hostage and pop the two cops that are in the area. Grab another hostage to complete the objective and follow the walkway around to find more cops. Dust them and then you will come to a large garage door. Open the door at the flashing red light and there will be a load of cops waiting for you outside. Use the hostage as a shield and start firing. When the first batch is down, head around the corner to find a few more hiding behind some cars. Take them out and make a right and there will be two more hiding in the alley there. Pop them and make your way to the end to jump in your car and escape.

Mission Two: The Apartment

Primary Objective:

Get to Apartment (building 4, apt 25)

Secondary Objectives:

Cover 4 tags

Defeat 25 Enemies

This mission tells you to try and be sneaky but we aren’t having any of that. As soon as the mission starts, run and crouch behind the car ahead of you and wait for the two cops to walk behind the building while one stays in front. Crouch and make your way along the wall on your left to the end. Pull out your baseball bat and sneak up on the cop. Pop him in the head and grab his gun. Head over to the far right and there will be a large splotch of while on the wall.

Walk up to it and you can tag it with your pray paint. Head between the buildings and there will be two cops on either side atop the stairs. Pop each one and continue along through the buildings and make a right when you get to the end. Pop the cop around the corner that is running away there and there be three more around the corner. Use the corner for cover and take them out and the one that will be atop the stairs on the right. When all the cops here are dead, run to the far side and you will find apartment 25 there. Climb the stairs and enter the apartment there. When you enter a scene will play and Shaun will have left you a message.

Once you are back in control, grab the weapons in the apartment and start popping the cops and gang members outside. You can also head out the back door of your apartment and climb down the ladder to find another spray point to tag up. Once you hit it, make your way down the stairs and clear the area out including the ones in the windows. Head to the far side and make a left down the alley there. Kill the thg on the walkway above you and continue around the corner. Pop the cops and thugs there and keep going to the corner on the right. Make your way around the corner and there will be a staircase there you can climb to enter an apartment. Inside will be some ammo, health and a spray point. Head around the corner and kill the few remaining cops here and make your way to the right and to your car where you started to get out of here.

Mission Three: Downtown

Rob the Bank

Sneak out the Back Escape to your car

Secondary Objectives:

Lets grab some loot! Now that you are smack dab in the middle of an armed robbery, head to the left and pop the security guard there and enter the vault. Grab the cash off the table to the left and head back out. Now some SWAT members will have arrived. Start clearing them out. When they are down, head past the front desk and make a right down the hallway. Head outside to the alley and pop the two cops around the corner to the left. Inside the truck behind them will be a sniper rifle. Grab it and make your way up the stairs the way you were going. Pop the few cops on the stairs and when you reach the top, you will get fired on by a sniper. You can just ignore him and make your way to the left. Some more cops will rush out, so take them down using the walls for cover and had to the end.

When you reach it, a few more cops will appear. Take them out and head down the stairs they came up from. When you enter the next courtyard, a chopper will appear and start dropping off more SWAT members. Plug them as they come at you and then book it to the left and enter the doors there. Kill the cop and make a left down the hallway to run into a few more. Grab the health packs scattered about here and make a right down the next hallway. Make a left at the end and you will come to another open door. Head out and kill the few more SWAt guys and continue to the end of the pathway. Make a left and head for the stairs in the far right corner. When you head down them, a few more SWAT members will come up to greet you. Kill them and you are home free to reach your car. Watch the scene and the mission will end.

Make your way down the alleyway to the corner at the end. Pop the thugs there and head around. Make your way to the next corner and pop the thugs around the corner and on the roof to the right. Continue down the alley and some thugs will run out from the car ports on the left. Pop them and when you get near the end, a thug will start tossing bombs from the window above. Take him out quickly and make your way around the corner to the right. You’ll find a few more gang bangers here to deal with, so take them out and then enter the gate on the right to see the house. Pop the thugs on the roof and on the walkway and enter the area. Make your way to the glass doors under the house and a gang of thugs will rush you.

Mow them down and enter the house. When you are inside, enter the door on the right to find the evidence and pick it up. Head back out of the room and head up the ramp opposite it. Kill the thugs you come across and head up the next ramp. Go through the room to the far side and exit at the balcony there. Make a right when you get out side and hop off the balcony. Head to the fence and start mowing down the street full of D-boys. There will be some on roof tops but most of them will be hiding behind cars. When they are all toast, head to the end of the street and there will be one last one with a rocket launcher. Take him down using the red car for cover and the mission will end.
