Hold for Extraction

After clearing out all the gunmen in the area, you’re issued an objective update ordering you to hold your current position while awaiting extraction. On cue, a Blackhawk arrives overhead and prepares to extract Paez. But an incoming RPG round forces the chopper to take evasive action. The area is still hot! You need to secure the street ahead before Paez can be extracted.

As Paez races down the street, keep up with him, advancing along the high ground. Paez seeks cover near a cog rail station. But the area is surrounded by gunmen. Immediately deploy another Sensor to identify all contacts, then help your team clear out the resistance. During the middle of the fight, a cinematic shows Paez racing toward the train—he says he’s been shot and is bugging out. Apparently the deal is off. Paez is no longer willing to turn himself in. He ignores the Ghosts’ orders, racing to safety aboard the train.

Immediately after the cutscene, a pickup truck equipped with a mounted machine gun appears in the street below and opens fire on your team. Make sure you’re behind cover and wait for the opportunity to peek out and take aim at the gunner. The gunner is partially protected by a steel plate fitted to the machine gun. But this steel plate doesn’t protect his whole body. Hit the gunner anywhere you can, even it means hitting him in the shoulder or foot. Inflict as much damage as possible to neutralize the gunner and silence the machine gun. Alternatively, you can focus your fire on the vehicle itself—destroying the pickup truck kills the gunner.
