Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel Guide Walkthrough Mission 2: Cause And Effect

Chapter 4: Foxhunt

As you follow the dirt path deeper into the compound, you’ll find a ledge where you can observe La Guadaña leader Bautista issuing some final orders to one of his men before he and one of his enforcers enter a vehicle to make a hasty exit. As he leaves, Alpha and Bravo formulate a plan to get their hands on the lieutenant he spoke to, and hopefully use him to find out where the girl is being held.

Decision Point: Search the Upper Path or Search the Lower Path

This is your first decision point of the game: a choice between taking the upper path or the lower path. Alpha must decide which path he will take, and Bravo will take the one he doesn’t.

The Upper Path

Follow the path up the ridge until you reach a wooden bridge with two abandoned vehicles parked on it . This is where you make initial contact with the enemy on this path. The area beyond the bridge itself contains ample cover to use and destroy . Be on the lookout for creative cartel thugs who will try to use the rooftops to snipe at you. There are also a number of explosive canisters and barrels you can use to help take out enemies that are hiding behind cover.

Check your flanks as you advance past the parked cars and crates. The buildings tend to hide cartel thugs who can flank and kill you if you’re reckless. Remember that being downed is an instant game over when you’re alone like this! The end of the upper path is marked by another parked car sitting next to a large propane tank. Once you advance toward the car, more thugs will run up the path leading to the rendezvous in a desperate effort to cut you off before you rejoin the others.

You can actually assist your ally if you run down the hill once you clear the upper path. The enemy will likely be focused on your buddy if he hasn’t already beaten you to the rendezvous, giving you a chance to score some flanking kills for extra points.

The Lower Path

After being boosted over the gate, you can spot some thugs engaging Rios and Salem on the other side of a fence. You can’t leap over to help them, but you can snipe the hostiles to score some extra points. With that done, follow the path to your left.

This part of the lower path is a bit more open. Work your way through these cartel members with care; the enemy has more room to flank you here. Don’t advance unless you’re certain that your path is clear.

The lower path turns right, and this area is marked by a set of propane tanks near a makeshift car and supply storage lot. Another gang of hostiles will try to push toward the propane tanks, giving you an opportunity for multiple environmental kills. As a rule, check to your right more often, as enemies will often emerge from within the buildings. Ultimately, both paths will take you to the rendezvous point just outside of the chapel .

Once you’ve cleared the paths, you meet up with Rios and Salem in front of the chapel. Breach the entrance to find and interrogate the lieutenant. He proves to be unsurprisingly forthcoming once sharp knives join the conversation.
