1. Traverse Blast Zone
The cargo plane carrying the scalar weapon is still on the runway to the west, but getting there won’t be easy. The area around the harbor is eerily quiet following the EMP blast, however there are still plenty of Russian troops between you and the airfield. Follow your team down the hill toward the train yard and prepare yourself for a tough fight.
As you near the gate to the train yard, several Russian troops attack from the loading dock to the north. Find some cover and begin lobbing grenades in their direction. The enemies here use the low concrete walls on the edge of the loading dock for cover. Destroy these little walls with grenades, then pick off the enemies with gunfire. If you run low on grenades, restock at the ammo crate by the gate. Liberally saturate the loading dock with grenades until you receive no incoming fire.
When your squad moves into the train yard, follow closely behind with your assault rifle at the ready. Look for cover near the two ammo crates in the middle of the train yard and target more enemies on the loading dock to the north. Lob grenades in their direction to destroy their cover, then pick them off with your assault rifle when they have nowhere left to hide.
Once again, wait for your team to move out before advancing deeper into the train yard. As you near a supply drop crate, more Russians attack from the west and north simultaneously. The nearby cover is adequate to protect you from the attacks to the north, so focus on the enemies gathering around the supply drop crate first. Hit them aggressively with grenades and automatic fire. Once your left flank is secure, turn to the enemies on the loading dock to the north and bombard them with grenades until they’re down for the count.
When it’s clear, grab some new weapons from the supply drop crate. Go with an assault rifle of your choice and the T88 S sniper rifle. After grabbing some new weapons, follow your team toward the ruins of a heavily damaged warehouse. Debris in the rail yard is too heavy, so you’ll need to pass through this building to reach the airfield.
2. Find Alternate Route to Runway
Before entering the warehouse, hold outside and help your team eliminate the Russian troops inside. Some of these guys are armed with shotguns, so it’s best to engage them at long range instead of rushing inside and taking them on in a point-blank duel.
It’s up to you to lead the assault on the warehouse, so move in cautiously while your teammates provide cover from behind. As you step inside, focus on the open shipping container straight ahead and watch for a few Russian commandos rappelling to the floor in the next building. Hold outside the container and engage the commandos as they move into view. Try tossing a few grenades in their direction to expedite their demise.
Once the commandos are down for sure, equip your sniper rifle and slowly move through the shipping container, but stop before exiting. A sniper is positioned on the roof above, just waiting for you to step into view. Aim up and creep forward to spot him. Quickly zoom in and drop him before he can open fire. If you’re hit, quickly backpedal into the container for cover and wait to heal before attempting another shot.
After taking out the sniper, cautiously exit the container and proceed up the nearby steps. One of the dead commandos drops a USAS-12 shotgun, so consider picking it up and using it on any stragglers you may encounter on the way out. At the top of the steps, continue west toward the runway.
As you exit the warehouse, the Russian cargo plane begins taxiing along the runway, preparing for takeoff. Apparently the scalar weapon has no impact at ground zero, allowing the plane to remain operational while everything outside it is fried. You don’t have enough firepower to take down the plane, so Sarge suggests boarding it before it takes off. To do that you have to move out now!
3. Board Russian Cargo Plane
You don’t have long before the cargo plane takes off, carrying the scalar weapon to who knows where. Follow your squad into a nearby drainage tunnel leading beneath the runway. Sprint through the tunnel and climb the ladder at the end to access the runway. There are no hostiles inside the tunnel, so just sprint!
After climbing out of the tunnel, the guys ditch their weapons and run after the plane as it prepares to take off. Marlowe reaches one of the massive landing gears first and then helps his teammates climb up into the undercarriage compartment. It’s time to find that scalar weapon and destroy it before Kirilenko can use it again.
