Chapter 32: Scavengers


Captured. Stripped of their weapons and equipment. Tortured for hours on end. Alpha, Bravo, and Mayor Cordova have landed in a hell only La Guadaña’s “finest” could craft. They have been spared death to drag out the suffering, but it seems that time has ended.

El Diablo has come for them, and he has an intensely personal reason for being here.

Chapter 32: Scavengers

El Diablo reveals his true identity to Alpha and Bravo: Eliot Salem. Surviving the mission five years before, Salem was ironically hired by Esteban Bautista, whom he describes as being more generous to him than his own former comrades. Salem plans to completely destroy all of T.W.O. for their betrayal, and considering recent events, he’s on a roll so far. Alpha promises that Salem is a dead man for what he’s done.

“Of course I am.”

El Diablo is called away by reports of a sudden attack on the cartel hideout, leaving Alpha and Bravo alone with two mooks. Predictably, these guys are too incompetent to live, and Alpha and Bravo manage to break free and kill them both. It’s time to get the hell out of here.

Your first order of business is to escape the interrogation room. Push aside the AC unit, and then make sure that the outside patrol doesn’t see you before continuing onward. Do NOT engage this patrol! You only have a pistol, and the moment you make any noise you automatically fail the mission. Don’t worry, you’ll have your chance to liven things up again very soon.

After evading the first patrol, work your way through some empty corridors until you reach a gate. Alpha and Bravo must lift it together in order to proceed.

You encounter a much larger cartel patrol not too far from the gate. Stay hidden and quiet, and wait for the all clear before proceeding in the direction that they came from.

Unfortunately you run into a pair of guards who will not leave their positions. They fail to notice your presence, so drill a couple of bullets into their heads. The fight is on.

The corridor to the left of the first two guards gets swarmed by a squad of cartel thugs. You start with very limited ammo, so make your shots count. Aim for the head. The corridor is divided into two thin halves for much of its length, which allows Alpha and Bravo to split up and concentrate on specific threats.

Make another left. You’ll encounter another corridor containing more hostiles. As with the previous corridor, this one is also split into two halves, but the space here is far more cramped. Kill the cartel members, and then make your way to the open door on the left side of the corridor.

The generator room provides you with the first real challenge of the chapter: blind corners, cramped walkways, and lots of opportunities for the enemy to outflank you. Always check your corners as you proceed.

Survive the generator room and walk down another empty corridor unti you reach a locked door. Alpha and Bravo must perform a dual breach of the room beyond. There are five hostiles on the other side of the door, and they are ready for you.

The room is a slaughterhouse in more ways than one. It’s shaped like a rectangle. You don’t have direct access to the center of the area, but you can walk around it using the surrounding passage. There are still plenty of cartel members guarding the area.

Another divided corridor filled with cartel thugs awaits as you continue beyond the slaughterhouse.

You eventually pass through a locker room that is in serious disrepair. It is guarded by another squad of thugs.

The last fight starts after you kick down the door to an illegal dog fighting ring. By now, the cartel definitely knows that you’ve escaped, so they react immediately when the door is breached. Be especially mindful of your flanks as you work your way through this last room. Once you eliminate all of the hostiles, proceed out the open door and climb the stairs to reach the end of the chapter.
