St. Petersburg Banya
As you approach St. Petersburg, you receive basic intel for the mission. A rogue element of the Russian military has stolen four EMP devices, intending to sell them on the black market.
Andre Kobin, a Third Echelon contact, has tracked the devices to Lesovsky. Lesovsky is brokering the deal, using his underworld connection to locate a buyer.
Your objective is to eliminate Lesovsky and steal his contact list.
Sector 1 STRATEGY
When you approach the banya, you must take down the drunk pounding on the outer gate in order to score an execution.
As you enter the grounds, use a co-op execution as a test so both of you are comfortable with the timing of sharing marked targets and taking them down.
After sweeping through the courtyard, enter the banya.
Split up. One of you enters through the ground level door while the other shimmies up the pipe and enters through the window.
Work together to clear targets and converge in the room visible through the window.
Once inside the banya, cross the empty circular lobby and move up to the second floor. A room on the far side of the balcony is bathed in blue light.
Enter this room and use your EMPs together to fry the lights in the banya. Make sure the thug guarding the EMP spot is dead and then pump your EMPs together
This extinguishes all of the lights.
Now, backtrack to the circular foyer. Enemies are crowding the foyer, looking for who killed the lights.
Drop the chandelier on their heads by shooting the chain that holds it up. Hang over the edge of the balcony and shoot the thugs as they mill below and when the coast is clear, move on to the first weapons stash, which is your checkpoint.
Sector 2 STRATEGY
The next sector is the bathhouse. In here, you are seeking one of Lesovsky's goons. But first, you must push through an easy dozen thugs in a series of smaller bathing rooms.
Stay low or crawl along the pipes in the ceiling, carefully monitoring the guards spreading out through the bathhouse.
As you close in on the large room in the bathhouse with the ornate wall, close ranks to take the next group of thugs together.
Inside the large bathing room, split up and perform a Co-op Execute to take down most of the guards. Stay in the shadows so you are not spotted.
Beyond the ornate wall, you may team up to breach a locked door. You encounter these from time to time in co-op. Both of you must flank the door and then force it open with pry bars.
However, before throwing open the door, peek under it and target some of the thugs inside. Your main target for this sector is just beyond - you cannot miss him. He's the big fella in the towel.
Breach the bathhouse and take down the guards or rush your target.
After clearing out the bathhouse, backtrack through the bathing rooms and break through the door marked as your objective.
Use the ornate wall for cover or hang from it to take down the guards coming to investigate the fracas beyond the breached door.
Sector 3 STRATEGY
The next sector leads you deeper into the banya. Slink into a two-level foyer and immediate start shooting the lights out.
Each player should take a different direction around the base of the room to put out the lights as fast as possible.
If either of you get spotted, just hit the EMP to stun your enemies and take them down. After clearing the thugs on the bottom floor, ascend the stairs and sweep through the balcony, using the pillars as cover.
Group up again and slip through the open window on the second floor of the foyer. There are several guards in the yard just outside, moving around the central gazebo.
If one of you has frags or mines, let that player go first and shimmy up to the edge of the building and pepper the ground with ordnance. Carefully drop to the ground and sweep across the yard.
Clear out the lighted room on the opposite side of the gazebo. Use the windows as cover while targeting the thugs within.
Breach the door inside together to surprise another group of thugs.
After executing the thug inside, you must zero in on Boris, one of Lesovsky's lieutenants. Interrogate the lieutenant to get information on the whereabouts of his boss.
Move around the kitchen and slam Boris into different objects, such as planting his face on the hot stove. Once the interrogation is over, move on to the next sector.
Sector 4 STRATEGY
The fourth sector is an underground club. As you move through the corridors lined with barrels, clip lights to create darkness and watch for thugs moving through the narrow halls.
Snap on the sonar goggles to monitor movement and keep telling each other when you think you've spotted a hostile.
Downstairs from the barrels is a dance club and several small bedrooms, each occupied by passed out prostitutes.
Work together to brush through the thugs. While one of you clears out the balcony over the club and the stairs leading down to the dance floor, the other can clean out the area around the bar and look for any movement among the bedrooms.
After emptying the club, break into Lesovsky's office and steal his contact list from his desk. Now move on to the next sector.
Sector 5 STRATEGY
After securing the contact list, you must find Lesovsky and escape the banya. You must first clear out the human trafficking den just inside the sector entrance.
Slip into the first room and look for a guard on the stairs opposite the door and at least one more to the left, near some cowering girls.
Keep moving through the red rooms on the opposite side of the first area, looking out for hostiles with shotguns at every corner.
Lesovsky is locked in a room on the far side of the sector. To reach him, you must clear out a long hallway. Split apart - one on the floor, one on the ceiling.
Blast the thugs in the hall and then peer into the room to the left for any stragglers. Take them down and then converge on the locked door that requires two players to breach.
Breach the door and eliminate Lesovsky's bodyguard.
One of you must grab Lesovsky and interrogate him, forcing him to make a phone call that sets up the deal.
Lesovsky turns the tables on you, grabbing the player that was interrogating him. You must work together to break his chokehold. The seized player must dodge, giving the other a clear shot at Lesovsky.
Killing Lesovsky doesn't end the mission in St. Petersburg. The Russian police breaches the garage, searching for you. Now, you must sneak back to the elevator in the room with the human trafficking, near the start of the sector. If you are spotted, your cover is blown and an international incident ensues.
So, work together to circumvent the police as they swarm through the garage. Use EMP blasts to knock out lights and stun the police so you can slip by without detection.
Use pipes whenever possible to sneak over the police. As soon as both of you enter the elevator, the mission ends.
