Waypoint 15
The entrance to the library lies in ruins. Run through the rubble and into the foyer. Two civilians run toward you and are gunned down by sniper fire through the window on the far end.
You have two choices against the enemy snipers at the library: fight or flee. If you choose not to fight them, you can sprint through the first two rooms to safety.
Run along the left wall so that the bookcases shield you from the sniper fire. When you reach the end, turn left and sprint across the second room and avoid the sniper shots.
Expert Mode
- Distance: Approximately 200 meters
- Wind: 0 meters/second (no wind)
- Magnification: 9x
Gravity will pull your bullet down to below the first reticle line. No wind affects the shot. Against the library snipers you must first identify their locations with binoculars and then fire quickly to beat them to the kill shot.
If you choose to fight the library snipers, pull out your binoculars. Creep out near the large hole in the library wall and scan the apartment building across the street.
You’ll spot three snipers at points on the apartment facade.
Once the targets have been identified with the binoculars, you can find them easier when you scope on the apartment windows. Inch out from cover and engage one at a time. Two of the snipers can be downed from the hole in the first hallway.
Enter the second library room to track down the third sniper. Pull out your binoculars again and look for the sniper in the tall window near the upper corner of the apartment building. Zoom in on the target and kill him quickly.
Waypoint 16
When you reach the library’s inner courtyard, drop into a crouch or crawl. Five enemies guard the ground floor, and can spot you if you stand for any length of time. Stay low and move to the left and along the short wall to the far corner.
Set up at the corner looking town the adjacent walkway. The enemies begin to disperse and take up positions around the inner courtyard. The first enemy patrols the hallway that you have your sights on. When he appears, cut him down before he can alert the others.
Crawl a few meters forward to a broken staircase. From this corner you can pick off the next three guards. Zoom across the way at the second enemy patrolling the far corridor that is draped in shadows.
Now inch up on the stairs and look down below. The first of two guards on the left side of the ground floor comes into view. Zero in on him while he searches the far corner with his back to you.
Look to the left near the second staircase and you’ll spot another guard. He has his back to the guard you just killed and won’t spot your kill right away. Take your time zooming in for a headshot.
Crawl out to the crumbling floor in front of you and look back to the right. The final enemy stands in the near corner. He might have seen one of your shots and may be on high alert.
Sight on him quickly and don’t let him get off a return shot.
Waypoint 17
Once the five enemies in the inner courtyard are no longer a threat, proceed to the far corner and look for the arches leading to the other side of the library. Two more guards walk these hallways.
Back up and use the small wall on the inner courtyard side as cover. When the first guard turns the corner, blast him with your sniper rifle or pistol.
The second guard may or may not have heard your shot on the first guard. Before he knows what’s going on, move to the corner and snipe him when he enters the long corridor in front of you.
Waypoint 18
Navigate through the final library rooms. Move toward the sunlight coming from a gaping hole in the library’s outer wall.
There’s enough rubble to climb out of the hole safely and veer down to the door into the adjacent apartment building.
Waypoint 19
Slowly walk through the apartment building. You’ll notice dead bodies all over. That’s because another sniper nest has this spot pinpointed.
As soon as you pass the white door with the pooling blood in front of it, snipers will gun for you.
You’ll see two windows in the next room. The first sniper will engage you through the right window. Use your binoculars to lock onto his position in the upper floor of the building across the street.
Send a bullet through the window and through his head.
Stay low and crawl into the room. If you use the wall between the two windows as cover you can set up your next spot to take out two more snipers from the left window.
Expert Mode
- Distance: Approximately 265 meters
- Wind: 0 meters/second (no wind)
- Magnification: 9x
Stay in cover at all times against the enemy snipers across the street and pop out only briefly to sight and kill.
Wind won’t affect the bullet; gravity will drop it slightly to just below the first reticle line.
Zoom quickly and fire on each sniper.
Take out the sniper in the window across the street first. Inch out from cover and snipe him before he can find you. If you have trouble locating him, use your binoculars again.
The third sniper is positioned on the roof. Lean out a little more from cover—just enough to send a single, lethal bullet his way.
Other enemies are still in the area. Stay low and cross the back room where a medkit awaits. Heal back up if necessary and weave through the house to the blown-out wall leading to the streets.
Waypoint 20
You are vulnerable out on the streets. Don’t waste time scouting for enemies or trading bullets with your foes. Race for the sewers as soon as you can.
Sprint around the ruined car and through the hole in the brick wall.
Enemies will converge on your position as you approach the crater that consumes much of the street. Forget about the enemies and continue to sprint down into the crater.
Look for the sewer entrance to your left and dash inside. The street enemies will not follow you inside and you’ll be safe for a few moments.
Waypoint 21
Enter the sewer system and stay alert for enemies ahead. Watch your minimap and slow down when the first enemy appears near the stairwell.
When you reach the stairwell, look across the chamber to catwalk on the far side. Several enemies patrol this area.
It’s possible to pick them off from the stairwell if you choose; however, it’s safer to keep hidden and avoid them.
Descend the stairs and cross the room at the bottom of the sewers. Use the cement blocks as cover, and when an enemy looks in your direction drop prone and hide behind one of the blocks.
Gradually you can make your way to the stairs in the far corner.
