Uncharted 4 – Chapter 5: Hector Alcazar

In this article we cover how to complete Chapter 5: Hector Alcazar in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. As you progress through the chapter you will learn how to use cover and the basics of the combat system, so we’ll touch on those aspects as well. As the chapter begins, follow Hector through the prison until he kills one of the guards. Take his gun and prepare for your first bought of a proper gun fight.

Keep moving through the prison as you collect ammo and use the cover system when you encounter hostiles. To make the most of every shot you should aim for the head, but if you’re familiar with shooters you probably already know that. You’ll collect new weapons as you make your way through the prison. It’s important to minimize the amount of time you’re out of cover, so if you can’t hit head shots frequently, aim for the body to take most enemies down in three or four shots.

Once you guide makes a break for it, don’t worry about the hostiles shooting at you, just focus on keeping up. When you get to the machine gun enemy, and a few similar instances you’ll want to stop and take cover to avoid the incoming fire, but otherwise you should be focused on following and keeping up. When you do stop to take cover, don’t remain there for long periods or else your cover will be destroyed. Keep moving as you make your way through the prison.

Exit the prison to watch another cut scene that completes the chapter. At this point you can move on to the next chapter, Once a Thief, or head back to our Uncharted 4 walkthrough and guide.
