Brief

We have intel that an important politician has arranged a secret tryst with a high-priced escort at the resort. Get a drone into position and record the politician in a compromising situation.

A Wild Ride at Kantuta Mansion

Head to the Kantuta Mansion on the north shore of the lake. There’s no need to engage any enemies either here, or at Tajibo Mansion to the west of the mission area. You’re here to record the gruntings of a wayward politician; taking out foes is only necessary if your team is getting restless, or you want to ensure you’re not disturbed.

Kantuta Mansion: Recon

TACMAP

The Kantuta Mansion is one of the less well-guarded zones you’ll infiltrate. You need to watch for the enemy up at the burned cottage to the north, and thugs patrolling the perimeter, but once you’re inside the mansion grounds, no hostiles are present. So you can elect to slip in between patrols, or remove everyone before visiting the politician.

The Shelled Cottage

Nothing ruins the clandestine filming of a sex tape more than being sniped at, so it’s worth hiking up to the east or west, moving down onto the cottage, and removing the sniper while he’s unaware of your presence. Then you can leave a sharpshooter here to tag foes before they come across their fallen friends, or provide cover in case two enemies need executing at once.

Main Entrance

You can simply avoid these two jokers at the mansion’s entrance, or else execute them at the same time, so they don’t raise the alarm. Watch for two more enemies patrolling the north corner of the perimeter; deal with them next, so they don’t discover the corpses.

South Deck and Cliff Path

Make a trek around and below the perimeter to this deck, watching for two enemies here. Have your team approach in different directions to ensure both are taken out at once, or just leave them be.

Stone Steps and East Entrance

Clear the area of enemies first, or creep up the stone steps, through the arch, and into the grounds without being spotted. Only one Ghost needs to be in here; the rest can wait outside at a safe distance and check for guard locations.

Cabin: The Politician and the Escort If no enemies are present, you can fly your drone through this open window (the only way into and out of the politician’s cabin), or remain between the perimeter wall hedge and the open window if no foes have been neutralized, and are still patrolling. Fly the drone through the window, watch the politician engage in some compromising positions, and fly the drone in afterward, as the mission completes. You can extract yourself the same way you came in.

Kantuta Mansion: Other Tactical Advice

Aside from ensuring that you’re quick enough to bring down groups of two enemies close to each other within a second, so they don’t raise the alarm, this mission requires simple sneaking and no grandiose pre-planning. Just be aware at all times of where foes are, and remove them if they present a threat. Keep your team away so they don’t unnecessarily add to the targets the enemy can see.
