Brief
DJ Perico’s home is located in the village of Todos Santos, Pucara’s capital. Find the house and search it; if Perico is there, grab him.
Home Invasion
Drive into the southern part of Todos Santos Town, and locate Perico’s home, which is the largest hacienda in the area. He’s not here, forcing you to deal with his guards in whatever manner you wish, photograph some evidence on the wall of his studio office, and leave. The amount of blood you spill is up to you.
Perico’s House: Recon
TACMAP
Perico’s home is on the southern edge of town, with a road running around on almost all sides. Farther north is a reasonably large number of cartel members, including two snipers in brick towers, and four enemies within the compound itself. It’s relatively straightforward to slay all the enemies here, or avoid the majority of them, due to the porous nature of the home’s defenses and location. You can also approach the home itself from this direction, jumping the low wall by the road and heading inside the structure without having to deal with the crowds at the entrance, or the enemies further into town.
Southwest Rock Outcrop
Though you’re at long range, you can sit up here in relative safety, and snipe at the foe in the minigun tower just east of the home, the sniper atop his tower near D, and the other sniper near B. With all lookouts neutralized, and usually without the others knowing about it, you can more safely proceed. Feel free to keep a Ghost up here to plant mines on the road to stop reinforcements, and snipe at ground foes too.
West Street and Sniper Tower
This is an excellent infiltration position, as you can use the stone building on the east side of the road, close to the brick sniper tower, as cover. Drop the sniper, then use the tower to fire on foes. Better yet, move to the perimeter of the home, climb into the two-story structure overlooking the compound, and clear it. Then use the balcony to shoot from, or the steps on the right (south) side that lead directly into the grounds. This is, by far, the easiest way into the property, and allows stealth takedowns without “waking up” the rest of the town’s foes.
Northwest Town Streets
Approaching from this direction puts you at a slight disadvantage, as the enemy is on higher ground, the two sniper towers and minigun tower are difficult to shoot at, and there are foes scattered about who can easily raise the alarm. Note the comms building and small helipad. Feel free to move from building to building, neutralizing foes, but know there are easier ways in. The helipad is a possible extraction location.
Northeast Town Streets
A direct approach to the target building from this main road ends in a firefight, with foes on higher buildings causing you no end of hassle. There’s a pillbox at the junction to the south, close to the minigun tower, which is also a big problem. Either sneak, barrel your way in using a fast-moving vehicle, or skirt around to the east and higher ground. House-to-house sweeping is also advisable; you need that sniper and minigun operator cleared out ASAP.
Southeast Hills
A hike up the hillside, or a loop around from A or D, is well worth your time as you can quickly remove the minigun enemy and both snipers from this elevated position. You can also lob grenades down to the road to waylay reinforcements, and rake the south part of town with gunfire while your teammates check the home. You’re close to roads out of town too, so park a vehicle on one of them to use as a possible getaway vehicle.

Target: Perico’s Home
Perico’s House: Other Tactical Advice
Stand at A, and quickly drop the minigun operator, and both snipers. Send your team north to conduct a sweep of the town. Meanwhile, maneuver around to B (or descend northward to the main road and hop the wall), and enter the premises. Use the perimeter path around the structure, with the rocky wall below the road as cover, and clear the home of foes. Then simply photograph the information, and retreat the way you came.
If you’re not concerned about noise, send in an explosive drone to detonate inside the structure, assuming it isn’t close to any innocents; use it to take out the armored enemy. You could also parachute onto the roof of Perico’s home, but it’s hardly subtle.
A similar plan to the Solo mission is most agreeable, though spreading out your team to A, B, and E makes most sense. That way you can start neutralizing all foes from all directions, while a single Ghost completes the objective.
