Chapter 30: Desperate Measures


Chapter 30: Desperate Measures

Follow the quiet passages after the chapter starts until you reach a muddy road that stands between you and a building occupied by cartel mercenaries. Do not attempt to recklessly engage them! In addition to the mercs occupying multiple levels of the building in front of you, the path to the right contains even more hostiles waiting to catch you in a crossfire. Be certain that you don’t have any rooftop hostiles to concern yourself with before you press on to the right. Farther into the slum, more troops await both on the ground and on the rooftops. Keep an eye out for any explosive fuel barrels or gas canisters as you advance through these battles.

Farther into the slum, the mercenaries have set up a series of sandbag positions near some abandoned cars, with more troops positioned on the rooftops. A Brute also makes an appearance, emerging from the alcove that contains the door you need to pass through.

A quiet walk through another alley ends when you reach a curved uphill street filled with cartel mercenaries. Be cautious about advancing up the street! Mercs armed with RPGs will be taking up positions on the rooftops and walkways. Instead, hold your position near the abandoned vehicles, preferrably after destroying them, and fend off the cartel assault. A stray RPG shot from the enemy eventually destroys part of a wall, granting you access to the inside of a building. Follow the stairs upward.

A number of cartel mercs await at the top floor of the building, with more taking positions on the nearby walkway. Clear the area of hostiles, and then push down a section of a wall to create a bridge.

Unfortunately, a cartel member has his own ideas about how to use your bridge, and once again Cordova is separated from his T.W.O. protection detail. This has not been a good day for the company.

Cross the walkway to try and find a way to reunite with Cordova. A mercenary Brute tries to hold down the narrow passage you need to take, but he’s by himself. Cut him down and proceed to the area exit.
