This mission emphasizes stealth and social engineering. Raising the alarm early will cause elite response teams to spawn, making the extraction significantly harder. Play it slow and methodical.
General Tips & Tricks
Stealth is your primary weapon. Use these strategies to remain undetected.
- Patience and Observation: Wait for patrols to separate before taking them down silently. The AI in this mission has a wider field of view, so use your binoculars to track their sightlines before making a move across open spaces.
- Camera Networks: The security cameras are your biggest obstacle. Look for the security room early (usually located near the elevators on the second floor) to disable the cameras for the entire section. If you can't find it, shoot the cameras with a silenced weapon, but be aware guards will investigate broken cameras.
- Non-Lethal Options: Use melee takedowns from behind to save suppressed ammo for targets you can't reach. If you have the tranquilizer dart unlocked, this is the perfect mission to use it on clustered enemies.
Coin Location
There is one hidden coin in this mission that will grant you extra currency for your Safe House upgrades.
- Coin: Inside the target's private office. After you bypass the biometric scanner on the top floor, enter the office and look at the large bookshelf on the left wall. The coin is hidden behind a small framed picture on the middle shelf.
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 1 - Roof Infiltration
You begin on the roof of the compound. Stealth is mandatory; raising the alarm early will cause elite response teams to spawn.
- Avoid Skylights: Navigate carefully. Guards below can spot your shadow through the skylights.
- Ventilation Shaft: Navigate to the ventilation shaft on the north side, pry it open, and drop down into the utility closet on the top floor.
- Mission Progress Prerequisite: You must enter the utility closet undetected to trigger the next phase of the security patrols.
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 2 - Disabling Security
The interior is heavily monitored by camera networks. Taking them offline is your priority.
- The Hallway Patrol: Exit the utility closet and wait for the two guards in the hallway to split up. Take out the straggler and hide his body in the closet.
- Security Room: Proceed to the security room at the end of the hall. Disable the grid to blind the cameras for the entire section.
- Rare Drop: A guard inside the security room drops a Tranquilizer Dart upgrade if taken out non-lethally.
- Hidden Safe (MISSABLE): Inside the security room, check behind the main server racks. There is a hidden safe containing $1,000 cash. If you proceed to the executive suite without opening it, you will lose access to this room!
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 3 - Apprehending the Target & Extraction
With the cameras down, it's time to secure the VIP and extract.
- Non-Lethal Takedown: Move to the executive suite. You must subdue the target without killing him. Use a flashbang or a melee takedown before he can trigger the panic alarm under his desk.
- Unlockable: Subduing the target before he reaches his desk unlocks the "Ghost" Calling Card.
- The Escort: Escort the restrained target to the parking garage via the freight elevator. Take out the light security presence with suppressed weapons and load the target into the van to escape.
