Tabacal Side Missions

See the Key Locations maps for the exact locations of Side Missions and Province Content.

Rebel Op: Breach Comm Center

Objectives

Blow up one of the station’s entrances and then hack the network relay

location

Northeast Outpost

REWARDS

Support Unlock/Upgrade - Rebel Vehicle Drop Off

Fight your way through the outpost to reach the network station or stick to the foliage to the north; effectively taking the watchtower out of the equation. Your best bet from ground level is the back door as it leads straight to the computer. Side doors are accessible by parachuting to the roof, but that puts you further from the objective and a watchtower has a direct shot. Move inside quickly after detonation and it is possible to complete the side mission with minimal confrontation. Watch out while hacking the network though, since you are vulnerable. If playing solo, make sure your team enters with you for protection.

Rebel Op: Intimidate Sicario

Objectives

Grab and intimidate the Sicario

location

SNPC Freight Yard

REWARDS

Support Unlock/Upgrade - Rebel Guns for Hire

The target sicario hangs out at the SNPC Freight Yard, located just north of a small body of water. Seven enemies occupy the area: three near the tracks, three surrounding the SUV, and the target. They are extremely vulnerable out in the open, but as soon as the captain senses trouble, he takes off in the SUV. A flat bed truck is available, but it does not handle as well along the off-road path that he takes. Therefore, it is best to keep him from getting inside. It is possible to go for the quick kills by setting up three Sync Shots on the eastern guys and then mopping up the others before grabbing your target. You still risk him fleeing if you’re not fast enough. A stealthier approach involves distracting and grabbing the outside foes—pulling them out of sight. Don’t forget that you can use the leader as a shield if things get hairy.

Rebel Op: Defend Radio

Objectives

Start the radio and defend it

location

Bella Selva Town

REWARDS

Support Unlock/Upgrade – Rebel Mortar Strike

A radio is found in the middle of Bella Selva, allowing the rebels to get another message out to the people. Again, you must defend the equipment from the onslaught of enemies. The location is mostly wide open; a house does protect one side. They arrive in cars along the highway and by foot from the east and west. An ammo crate can be found on the second floor of the neighboring house. When low on health flee into the building and top off your ammunition. Keep your team nearby and watch the radar for incoming foes. As long as the radio still stands when the 2:40 timer reaches zero, the mission is a success.

Food Package Raid

Objectives

Steal the plane

location

Makeshift Runway

REWARDS

+2500 Food Parcels

From the Tabacal Bravo Rally Point, move east to a find a plane loaded up with food parcels. Survey the landing strip to find four guards around the plane and a fifth at the end of the runway. Use Sync Shot to take the quartet down quick. Unless you eliminated him beforehand, you attract gunfire from the lone thug when taking off. Fly the aircraft southwest to the rebel-held runway, west of the lake in San Mateo.

Medication Raid

Objectives

Steal the helicopter

location

Between Makeshift Runway and Observation Post

REWARDS

+1500 Medication

Along the road between the makeshift runway and Unidad Observation Post is a helicopter holding much needed medication. Seven members of the Santa Blanca Cartel provide protection. Try a straight gunfight and a lieutenant flees in the chopper, so try a more discreet approach. Use Diversion Grenades or simply get their attention and pull enemies away from the others—picking them off one-by-one or in smaller groups. Once clear, board the aircraft and fly it to the indicated destination, west of Bella Selva.

Rebel Op: Breach Comm Center

Objectives

Blow up one of the station’s entrances and then hack the network relay

location

Southeast of Unidad Observation Post

REWARDS

Support Unlock/Upgrade - Rebel Vehicle Drop Off

A second network station requires infiltration, southeast of the Unidad Observation Post. Three doors offer entry to the building: front, back, and a third on the left. The latter gives you direct access to the second floor, where the computer is found. Fight your way to the opposite side and hack the network relay to complete the mission. The front door is also a good entry point as it leads straight to the staircase, plus an explosive is unnecessary, since a barrel sits nearby. You can find an Accessory Case on the second floor of the network station, so don’t leave too soon.

Food Package Raid

Objectives

Steal the helicopter

location

Secure Barn East

REWARDS

+2500 Gasoline

Just south of Secure Barn East, spot the helicopter loaded with gasoline. Approach from the south for the least confrontation, where only a few men guard the chopper plus a watchtower to the west. Eliminate the guy above first and then use Sync Shots to finish off the others. Quickly board the chopper and take off as more enemies may be incoming from the north. Fly south into Agua Verde and park in a field northwest of Arroyo Baya.
