2. Operation—Pimpin’ the eKart

The only place to grab a battery is a small container yard just south of Bayview Rise, on the southeastern edge of San Francisco, near the water.

Infiltration Points Southeast Fence: Positioned diagonally southwest along the road to the yard’s south are the main gates (easily hacked) and a Jumper-sized hole in the concrete fence barrier to the gate’s right. Either one is a good entry point. Southwest Warehouse Roof: Normally inaccessible, the roof in the area’s southwestern section can be climbed on if you have a tall container vehicle or a forklift that can get you up here. From the roof you can silently (or noisily) neutralize foes with ranged weapons or drop down into the yard. Northwest Fence: Running diagonally southwest along the road to the yard’s north is a fence with strong concrete barriers anchoring it to the ground. There’s no way to scale this fence other than bringing a forklift or tall-container vehicle to climb on, though this attracts attention.

POIs and Objective Points The yard features several guards and a few attack dogs. There are no interiors to breach, aside from two open stacked containers, one of which houses the objective. eKart Battery: This is located inside the open cargo container in the yard’s northeastern area. It is in an exposed position. Remove threats or use stealth to reach this item.

Paths to Completion

Although there are numerous other routes to take to reach the battery, the following two provide the most competent means of securing it:

RC Jumper Mastery

The RC Jumper is an excellent choice for infiltration, as it can physically grab the battery. Push it through the hole in the southern fence barrier and scoot it northeast to the perimeter behind the open objective crate so you don’t interact with the enemy. Jump onto the crates and into the container.

You can definitely distract guards, zap them, use devices, and all the other cunning plans you’ve developed with the Jumper, but the main path here circumvents any need for that.

Assault and Battery

With around five guards and a dog to worry about, try opening the gate at the northwest fence and moving along the yard’s northern interior edge. You will have better cover while dropping the guards and dog in the immediate vicinity (A.1). Then creep clockwise around the north perimeter, hiding behind the containers and seeking out the remaining guards. Zap one using a vault transformer (A.2). As you near the south gate (A.3), drop the last two foes; use melee strangles and tasers to drop all but the electrocuted guard. Now, grab the battery.

No Foes? Satisfactory

You can physically enter the container yard by the gate at the northwest fence. Climb onto the nearby stack at the first large open container you see (B.1). Move through the container without anyone seeing you. Climb another container and drop down just north of the objective (B.2). Then climb the smaller crates and creep into the container with the battery. Retrace your steps back to the same gate to exit.
