Brief

Marcus Jensen’s assistant has been persuaded to set up a meet with the buchon at the Witch Market, a local marketplace specializing in occult paraphernalia. Ambush Jensen when he arrives and extract him for interrogation.

Manhandling Marcus

Inside the town of Libertad, in the northern part of the sprawling settlement, rows of odd little shops sell strange wares. You’re here for a different type of sightseeing—the location, interrogation, and extraction of Marcus Jensen. Be aware he’s more slippery than others you’ve had to round up.

Bolivar Square (Libertad): Recon

TACMAP

This part of Libertad involves searching the market streets for a single entity, the only enemy appearing on your in-game Tacmap in orange. Marcus is always at the same location, near a low stone wall at the north end of the mission area, by the street with the bunting ribbons crisscrossing the row houses.

Target: Marcus Jensen Jensen throws a fit when you grab him. Choose to interrogate him at this location, and he breaks free, attempts to flee, and drives off in a vehicle (usually the Landrock SUV parked a block to the east). He then hightails it to the buchon house you assaulted during Main Mission: Chemical Trail. Should this happen, consult that chapter for the insertion points, general enemy locations, and options for entering the building. Capture him, bundle him into any vehicle, and extract him.

Enemy Vehicles

In addition, as Marcus is escaping, expect a number of enemy vehicles to converge on your location. At least two should appear within seconds, so be ready for them. They may waylay you for long enough to enable Marcus to escape. Expect further incursions.

Bolivar Square (Libertad): Other Tactical Advice

Head into the northern part of Libertad and locate the wooded square with the statue on horseback. This is the general search area. When you arrive, the search area expands considerably. Find Marcus to the north (the only enemy blob on your Tacmap radar within the search zone) and grab him. When he tries to flee, you can:

Have already blocked off the road to the west, or destroyed the two vehicles there, forcing him to flee in a different direction.

Quickly grab him again, or chase and grab him before he finds a vehicle.

Stop, locate a vehicle, and begin a wheeled pursuit. This leads to dangerous shoot-outs with foes stepping out of vehicles.

It’s well worth driving to, or landing a chopper at Marcus’ location, so you’re close enough to reacquire and bundle him into a vehicle instead of dragging him for blocks while under fire, looking frantically for a vehicle to steal.

The best way to solve Marcus’ slithering escape plan is to temporarily ignore the objective requiring you to interrogate him. Instead, after grabbing him, bundle him into a vehicle. Drive him to a secure location, ideally a Rally Point away from enemy vehicles. Drag him out, start the interrogation, and when he flees, simply reacquire him in safety.

Marcus won’t get far if you’ve positioned three additional Ghosts within grabbing distance of him. Park vehicles (three trucks and a helicopter should do it) all within a block of Marcus so you have a number of choices once he flees. When he goes, have the closest Ghost nab him.

Extraction to Libertad Bravo

If you manage to reacquire Marcus after he flees and stow him in a vehicle, extract him to Libertad Bravo, around two clicks to the south. The journey, unless you specifically need to engage the enemy, is uneventful. Drive with appropriate care to the tight switchback turns, or pilot a helicopter to Libertad Bravo and knock on Bowman’s door. After some less-than-polite persuasion, Marcus agrees to talk, and the mission concludes.
