Locate Dede Macaba

Locate Dede Macaba

Your contact drops you near the entrance to the refugee camp. Hostiles are detected nearby so immediately assume a crouched stance to activate your Optical Camo. Move parallel with the dirt road toward a large tree. Here, you can take cover near a rock and spot four rifleman. Three are standing in a tight group while a fourth patrols a nearby rooftop. Mark all four hostiles, then take aim at the hostile on the rooftop. Wait until he stops his patrol, then put a bullet in his head to initiate the sync-shot. Once the four riflemen are down, follow your team into the refugee camp.

Tactical Challenge: Steely Gaze

Criteria: Kill 10 enemies while in Magnetic view

This challenge is simple to complete as long as you remember to activate the Magnetic view before you pull the trigger. As long as you eliminate a hostile while the Magnetic view is active, the kill will count toward the challenge’s criteria. This challenge can be done at the same time as the sniper kills required for the Overwatch weapon challenge later in the mission. Bring up the Tactical Map to view your progress toward each challenge.

The refugee camp is a maze of tents and other temporary shelters. Although the tents offer decent concealment while moving around the camp, they make it difficult to see farther than a few meters. Given the poor visibility, rely on Magnetic view to see through the tents and spot hostiles carrying weapons. This makes it easier to navigate and plan your attacks. Start by sneaking up behind a lone gunman stealing a bag of food from a refugee woman. He’s isolated from his cronies and among civilians, so there’s no reason to open fire and put bystanders at risk. Simply sneak up behind him and perform a stealth kill—the civilians don’t seem to mind your intervention.

Tip

Using Magnetic view, you can spot and engage targets that would otherwise be outside your line of sight. The tents in the refugee camp offer concealment, but they make lousy cover. Use this to your advantage by firing through the tents to kill enemies on the other side. They’ll never see it coming.

Next, locate a pair of thugs standing next to a white SUV. Mark both targets and take aim at one of them. There’s a chance your teammates won’t be able to get a line of sight on one of the targets, so be ready to pick off whichever target your teammates can’t. When both targets are within view and ready to drop, squeeze the trigger to perform another sync-shot. Remember, try to take out targets with the Magnetic view on in order to complete the tactical challenge.

Move past the white SUV and approach another rifleman harassing refugees near a well. Mark the hostile, but hold off on giving the shoot order. Instead, try to sneak up behind him to perform a stealth kill. However, if the hostile turns in your direction, you may be spotted, even with your Optical Camo deployed. So as you near the rifleman by the well, be ready to give the shoot order to your team, just in case the enemy turns around. Even if you think you have a clear path for a stealth kill, always make sure a teammate watches your back during the approach. Your Ghost teammate may have to shoot the hostile before you’re within range to perform the stealth kill.

After clearing out the rifleman by the well, follow your team to a small market area filled with a few stalls covered by a mix of thatch and cloth awnings. Several civilians and two rifleman are in the adjoining courtyard beyond the market. Use Magnetic view to identify the two gunmen in the crowd and mark them both. This time, let your team take out both hostiles. Once your team is in position, give them the shoot order.

Tactical Challenge: Protector

Criteria: Complete the mission without any civilian casualties

As you can see, the combination of Magnetic view and the sync-shot is perfect for picking off hostiles in a crowd. This is the best way to complete this challenge. Stealth kills and sync-shots greatly minimize the amount of bullets flying through the air. So use these tactics to avoid collateral damage. As long as the enemy is unaware of your presence, you can avoid heated firefights in which bystanders might be caught in the crossfire. To complete this challenge, no civilians can be killed. If you accidentally kill a civilian, immediately restart from the last save checkpoint. Otherwise you’ll have to replay the entire mission.
