Secure Second Ship

During this sequence, you man the Blackhawk’s door-mounted minigun. Focus your fire on the enemy convoy consisting of GAZ-2330s and GAZ-66 trucks. However, don’t neglect the enemy troops on the ground, as many of them are armed with RPGs capable of shooting down your chopper. So prioritize infantry and the GAZ-2330s first, as they pose the biggest threats. The GAZ-66 trucks are defenseless and explode after absorbing a short burst from the minigun. When an enemy Mi-24 appears on the horizon, Ghost Lead advises Kozak and 30K to stay focused on the convoy. Pepper and Ghost Lead will attack the enemy chopper from the other Blackhawk.

You eventually come to an enemy field HQ that is filled with a variety of targets. While inbound, focus your fire on the infantry first; they appear as small orange diamond icons on the HUD. But don’t neglect the BTR-90 APC here, as its powerful weapons can knock your bird out of the sky. Hit the BTR-90 with a prolonged burst from the minigun until it explodes. Once the BTR-90 is destroyed, open fire on the parked GAZ-66 trucks at the HQ. Even though these trucks aren’t part of the convoy, you need to destroy them if you want to complete the Wrecker Tactical challenge, which requires you to destroy every vehicle you see during this sequence. Beyond the HQ, hunt down any surviving vehicles that may have escaped and take them out before they can get away.

Your NVGs are automatically activated as you approach the second ship. The ship is covered in orange diamond icons indicating the presence of enemy troops—some of which are armed with RPGs. There’s no time to distinguish between enemies carrying rifles or RPGs, so mow them all down. As the Blackhawk flies along the port side of the ship, take aim at the enemies lined up along the perimeter walkways. Establish your aim vertically, then simply open fire. The Blackhawk’s forward movement allows you to strafe the whole port side of the ship with only minor aiming adjustments.

After making a strafing run alongside the ship, another Mi-24 attack chopper is detected. This time, Ghost Lead tells Kozak and 30K to take care of the Hind while he and Pepper continue engaging enemy troops on the ship. Turn your attention to the enemy chopper and continue hammering it with the minigun. As you pass the ship’s massive drill tower, lay off the trigger and let the minigun cool down for a few seconds.The Mi-24 is on the other side of the tower and is hard to hit. When you have a clear line of sight on the enemy chopper, open fire and finish it off. The damaged chopper spins out of control, slamming into the ship’s drill tower, causing it to topple. Once the Hind is down, the ship is secure and the mission concludes.
