Chapter 45: No Return


Chapter 45: No Return

The last time you abandoned a comrade to a burning wreck surrounded by cartel members, they came back five years later and almost completely destroyed the company you work for. Fiona will have to wait; you’re going to save Rios first.

The first firefight of the chapter takes place near the large perimeter wall surrounding the compound. Take cover by the first shipping container and deal with the elite trooper to the right of it . This also keeps you safe from enemies farther in the distance , as well as the sniper on the far tower wall . The goal of this fight is to eventually traverse the field and reach the column of smoke and fire on the other side. Luckily, there is a lot of cover strewn across the field to facilitate your advance.

As you fight your way across the field, reinforcements continue to arrive from the access door of the tower . Be careful not to advance so far that you allow the enemy to easily flank you the moment they step out of the door. Eventually you’ll get the all-clear, and Alpha and Bravo can then boost each other up to the path leading away from this section of the wall .

The path takes you around to another section of the wall. Here, you’ll be up against a much larger enemy force. In addition to multiple snipers on the wall and tower itself , there are a lot of hostiles at the base of the tower, with more reinforcements arriving in waves from the road checkpoint at the far end of the field . Take out the snipers first, as well as their replacements, and then work your way into the area next to the wall itself. This whole section is basically a sales pitch for sniper rifles.

After clearing out several groups of hostiles, as well as multiple replacement snipers on the wall and in the tower itself, things seem to calm down. Stay on alert. As you approach the door at the base of the tower, it’s kicked down by another squad of elites, lead by a Brute. There are explosive barrels near the door that can help take out the group. Another neat trick is to anticipate the arrival of the enemy and plant a grenade at the foot of the door as you approach.

With the elites beaten, you can enter the tower and proceed to the next chapter.
