Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel Guide Walkthrough Mission 8: Narco Hell

Chapter 34: A Ray of Sun 

Shortly after the start of the chapter, Chuy and Baker surprise a group of hapless cartel thugs and dismantle them in a most brutal fashion. They then toss Alpha and Bravo a duffel bag filled with a new set of tactical gear and weapons from their Armory loadouts. Now it is officially Go Time. Chuy and Baker move on to help the Mexican police forces that are assaulting the cartel facility. They tell you to take a different route to the rooftop, where extraction awaits.

Once you’ve split off from your rescue team, follow the path back downstairs until you reach a room where Alpha and Bravo must boost each other up a wall.

This takes you to a balcony overlooking a large room that is filled with cartel thugs who are unaware of your presence.

A safer solution is to stick to the upper balcony and take out as many cartel members as you can until they stop running face first into your bullets. You can then drop down and push up through the center. As you do, check the room to your left for hostiles , and watch out for more on the right side of the room . We recommend clearing the smaller room and using it for cover while you take out the enemies across from it .

Another quiet set of stairs leads you to a pair of ignorant thugs, easily put to rest. Beyond them, you reach what appears to be a dead end. Either Alpha or Bravo must be boosted over the rickety-looking wooden barrier to find a way to reach the roof .

Decision Point: Be the Booster, or Be the Boosted

This isn’t a regular Decision Point where you are given two obvious courses of action to choose from. It starts off as a traditional Co-op Action, where one guy gets boosted over the wall first...

...only to find that their footing on the other side is far from stable, and they fall through the floor down to the lower level. A large squad of cartel thugs begin rushing the operative on the lower level.

Be the Booster

If you’re the one who boosted your partner over the wall, you have to provide overhead cover while they fight their way through the lower floor to get to your level. At the same time, you also have to deal with hostiles on the balcony across from you. As your partner reaches the upper level, more hostiles will come through a door that you eventually need to get through . Once your enemies are wiped out, your buddy will have to shoot out a valve to make a bridge so you can reunite.

Be the Boosted

First, berate your partner for potentially sending you to your death. Next, carefully work your way through the hostiles on the lower level. As you advance, check the room to your right in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises. If things are getting too rough, have your partner on the upper floor try to take aggro off of you for a second or two while you work your way into a better position. Climb the stairs to the upper level when you are certain the lower floor is clear .

The cartel on the upper level now have to deal with your advance while your partner goes to town from the other side of the room. When all targets have been eliminated, shoot at the valve indicated on your HUD to make a bridge. Breach through the door that the cartel tried to protect, and continue onward to get closer to the roof.

You’re almost there! After climbing another set of stairs, you reach a sunny room. Cartel members are on your level and on the catwalks above you. The extraction chopper makes a pass of the area, spraying mini-gun fire at all of the hostiles it can see. Move toward the stairs , but make sure you watch your flanks to avoid being surprised by any survivors.

As you get to the upper level, a trio of heavily armed soldiers burst through the final door between you and freedom. They are led by a Brute. Unlike your previous enemies, these men are wearing camoflage uniforms, balaclavas, and protective helmets. They have better gear than even the mercenaries you’ve been squaring off against.

Push past what’s left of these soldiers and get to the rooftop!
