This mission requires patience and social engineering. You are deep behind enemy lines in a civilian area. You will need to blend in, acquire disguises, and avoid raising any suspicion from the guards.
General Tips & Tricks
Your cover is your lifeline. Play this mission like a traditional stealth game.
- Holster Your Weapon: Do not draw a weapon unless absolutely necessary. Doing so in a public area will immediately blow your cover and cause all guards to open fire. Only equip your silenced pistol when you are alone in a restricted room.
- Restricted Zones: Pay attention to the UI indicators above doors. Do not enter areas marked in red while wearing a low-level disguise (like a maintenance worker). You must acquire an officer's uniform to access the deeper sections of the facility.
- Hide Bodies: If you must take someone down silently to steal their uniform or keycard, you must drag their body into a closet or locker immediately. Roaming patrols will sound the alarm if they discover a body.
Coin Location
There is one hidden coin in this mission that will grant you extra currency for your Safe House upgrades.
- Coin: In the server room on the bottom floor. After you bypass the biometric lock using the stolen credentials, enter the chilled server room. Walk all the way to the back and look behind the central cooling unit. The coin is resting on the floor grates.
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 1 - The Initial Disguise & Clearance Upgrade
You begin in civilian clothes. You must acquire disguises to penetrate the secure sector.
- First Disguise: Wait for the maintenance worker to enter the bathroom. Perform a silent takedown, hide his body in the stall, and put on his uniform to access staff-only hallways.
- Upgrading Clearance: Locate the officer's lounge. Tamper with the coffee machine to isolate a high-ranking officer, then subdue him to steal his credentials and uniform.
- Mission Progress Prerequisite: You cannot pass the main security checkpoint without the high-ranking officer uniform.
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 2 - Planting the Bug
With the officer's uniform, infiltrate the secure server room downstairs.
- The Hack: You must manually connect the hacking device to the central mainframe and wait for the upload.
- Hide & Seek: Hide from the patrolling technician while the upload finishes.
- Rare Drop: Pickpocketing the patrolling technician yields a unique Silenced Pistol Blueprint.
- Hidden Safe (MISSABLE): In the secure server room, there is a small adjacent armory. Hack the keypad to enter and open the hidden safe for $1,000 cash. Do this before planting the bug, as the room locks down during the upload!
Detailed Walkthrough: Phase 3 - Exfiltration
Once the bug is planted, retrace your steps calmly.
- Stay Calm: Do not run, as running in an officer uniform will draw suspicion. Walk out the front door casually to the waiting extraction vehicle without drawing any attention.
- Unlockable: Completing the mission without a single guard becoming suspicious (yellow marker) unlocks the "Phantom" Player Title.
