Information and tips

When you choose a mercenary you have to decide what is the most important for you - better speed, more ammo or faster health regeneration. Each mercenary has different attributes. At the very beginning I recommend you Mattias Nilsson. He is the one with better health regeneration.

Before you start a mission prepare yourself properly. There is many combinations with equipment sets but I recommend assault gun, anti-aircraft rocket launcher, some grenades and C4. Whit equipment like this one you will be able to cope with everyone and everything

Each time when you find a package with money, a tank truck with petrol or bombs (for jet pilot) clean the area from anti-aircraft installations and call helicopter with Ewan. That's gonna add all this stuffs to your collection. Just go to the particular object press action button and use flare to show to the pilot where he has to go.

In Venezuela you will come up against many factions. Remember that Universal Petroleum is allied with United Nations, P.L.A.V. with China, pirates are not related to other groups (except main character at the beginning whom they treat neutrally). Venezuela Army is an enemy for everyone and everything. You can improve your relationship with others by making missions for them (which mostly mean that you have to attack someone). Be informed that United Nations and China will appear on your map after Get Solano mission.

There is many ways to earn money. The most efficient one is to make normal missions. Then capturing posts, dispatching VIPs , demolishing occupied buildings, bets or destroying billboards. You can also earn money by killing private soldiers from some factions. One United Nations or Chinese warrior gives you $50.000, Universal Petroleum or P.L.A.V. $5.000.

Take care of civilians. You will loose $5.000 if you kill one of them. At the beginning it is very important but after a few missions you will become a wealthy person so it won't be a problem anymore. It concerns also a Fiona's car which is parked next to your mansion. If you destroy it some of your money will disappear.

Air support is extremely important. Thanks to artillery and bombing you can quickly and efficiently eliminate huge group of enemies, demolish occupied buildings and blow up heavy vehicles. What is more, airdrops with equipment and vehicles are also available. This stuffs will make that you will be able to adapt yourself to constantly changing situations.

Whole air support is bought in stores. Each post offers quite wide variety of 'tools' which are useful during a battle. To be able to buy something from particular faction you have to be at least neutral for them (that's obvious - no one sells bombs to its own enemies). The number of available elements of assortment depends on the number of missions which we finished for our seller (faction).

Air support is available after neutralizing air defense. Observe your radar and seek red marks. S and AA shows rocket launchers and anti-aircraft gun. JAM informs you about... jam which makes satellite support unavailable. Unfortunately your radar doesn't show soldiers with rockets. You have to find them by yourself.

It is hard to steal enemies' vehicles but you should know that successful stealing (for example a tank) will give you a great advantage. An instance of hijacking of vehicles means that you have to quickly press indicated buttons like in others so-called quick-time-events. To get a jeep you'll be forced to use only one button, but heavy vehicles and tanks need much more effort. And remember that you can steal a heavy vehicles only if the machine gun position is without a shooter.

An instance of hijacking of helicopters is possible only if have a rope with a hook. You will get one after recruiting Eve.

During a battle with a heavy vehicle aim at it back. There is the weakest armor.

If you want to make your relations with other faction better you should pay a visit to Fiona and speak with her. She will help you offer a bribe. The cost of the bribe depends on the relation between you and organization which will be offered. Usually it amounts about 3-5 millions.

Stealing of vehicles allows to avoid unnecessary attention. Let's say, that you want to get on the territory controlled by United Nations (red color on your radar). Even if your relations with them are great your presence will start a fire. But if you steal their vehicle before you reach their territory you will be able to explore it without a fight. Remember also that if you stay to long next to them (or you start shooting) they will uncover you.

Hiding in a vehicle of your enemy has disadvantages too. Let's assume that your ally is Universal Petroleum. If you approach them in P.L.A.V.'s jeep expect their answer which means that they will start shooting (concern and guerillas aren't allied). They stop using force when they see that a driver is not their opponent. So live the car or destroy it.

Many elements of surroundings can be easily destroyed. That's include also huge oil rigs. Thanks to possibility of changing the environment you can make some missions easier or harder. For example, if you need room to land with allies use a few grenades. All obstructed boxes, tents etc. won't be a problem anymore. On the other hand try to keep all useful bridges in good condition. That will help you in reaching destination points.

If you want to get game status with 100% you have to know that some of your actions can block an access to particular missions. If you want to get to know everything what was prepared by authors of Mercenaries 2 you will reach a moment when one of the factions (United Nations or China) charge a mission titled Battle for Caracas. Before you finish it try to end other tasks (wagers, challenges, spare parts etc.). Spend money on bribes to improve relations with others and get access to all missions. You have to know that after Battle for Caracas the final round will start. It means that your power to end them will be limited. After finishing main plot taking of posts will become impossible and for that reason do this earlier.

Free General Carmona

First mission is like a training. you will start it in a boat. Go straight ahead towards rocks [#001]. Being there you'll get information that if you go farther between rocks you will reach a sand beach [#002].

[#001][#002]

Wait a moment for airdrop with ammunitions. The box [#003] which land on the beach will contain grenade launcher with ammo. Take everything and prepare for the fight.

Next to the gate not so far from place when you are standing are deployed 4 soldiers [#004]. Kill them with grenade launcher and remember to save as many ammo as you can. You will need it later.

[#003][#004]

After you handled with them you have to destroy the gate [#005]. To do this use your PDA [#006].

[#005][#006]

Now you should choose a weapon which helps you destroy the gate. From the menu [#007] select satellite-guided bomb.

After selection the satellite view will appear. Guide the sight on the target (gate) and press fire button. After that you will take part in easy mini game [#008]. You have to press fire button when the white line will get through grey areas.

[#007][#008]

Among the ruins you will find some ammo [#009]. Take it and set off. Two soldiers will be on your way. Kill them and continue your journey. Your next enemy will be guy with heavy machine-gun situated behind sandbags [#010]. You have the grenade launcher so he is not a problem.

[#009][#010]

Jump over sandbags and go farther. The village in front of you is full of enemies [#011].Rid it of them very carefully.

When you finish the award will be on its way. The helicopter will drop you a jeep [#012].

[#011][#012]

After that leave this place [#013]. You have to reach another gate [#014]. There is an easy way to do this. Just ignore all enemies even those in the middle of the road. Pass round all blockades as well.

[#013][#014]

Destroy this gate exactly in the same way like previous one. Use the satellite-guided bomb. When the gate will be lie in ruin [#015] go farther. The helicopter will drop you a small gift - tank [#016]. Get into it and continue your journey.

[#015][#016]

Don't pay any attention to soldiers who are shooting, just go farther. Go across the village [#017] and eliminate shooters on roofs. Stop nearby the river protected by anti-tank screen. On the other bank [#018] is the jetty and one guy with anti-tank weapon will appear there. Dispatch him and a shooter amongst trees on the left.

[#017][#018]

Use once again satellite-guided bomb to destroy the front wall of the building [#019] which is situated on the other bank of the river. Then cross the river and go towards the sewer [#020] where Carmona is detained.

[#019][#020]

Seize Solano's Villa

You will start with kalasnikov and with some vehicles. Get into one of them and go [#021] towards Solano's villa. Map in your PDA will tell you which way you should choose.

During your way you will encounter strong resistance. Enemies will stand behind barricades and some of them will use jeeps [#022]. If they become very annoying kill them.

[#021][#022]

When you get to the villa [#023], dispatch all guards. You can easily kill the guy with heavy machine gun who is standing on copula; just go around him on your right [#024].

[#023][#024]

Notice that next to the gate is a box [#025]. Destroy it and take C4. Use it make an entrance [#026].

[#025][#026]

When you get on the other side of the wall you will receive a mission which is about despacing Solano's co-workers. Find them (PDA will help you [#027], it shows places where you have to seek), kill and take a money [#028] if they had some.

[#027][#028]

Take care of civilians [#029]. Injuring or killing them will result in losing money.

Some of the Solano's co-workers are situated at the back of the villa; go there. You will find there a balcony [#030] with well armed opponents. Use grenades to clean that area.

[#029][#030]

When you kill all of them go back to the court at the front. Eliminate guards and enter the building [#031].

Inside is a little bit quiet. Keep an eye on explosive materials against the wall. In a few seconds a tank [#032] is going to reach your current position. It is a good idea to steal it.

[#031][#032]

You must stand next to the main gun and press [E]. After that your character will climb on it [#033] and he'll try to send off a driver. When you reach turret first of all try to knock his gun out. You can do this by pressing in particular moments melee attack button. After that your virtual alter ego will try to take his grenade. Success is possible only if you start pressing jump button rapidly. After this tough challenge the tank will be yours.

Now use your machine and dispatch approaching enemies [#034]. They possess a RPG so be careful. After killing 10 opponents the rest of them will run away.

[#033][#034]

From now on the villa belongs to you.

Universal Petroleum

Speak with Fiona to get this mission (do exactly the same with following tasks). Your job is to get back stolen cargo with weapons. Each gun will give you $500.

To run GPS in your PDA [#036] get into the car [#035] and follow instructions.

[#035][#036]

Reach a destination point, kill some enemies (especially this one on the boat with heavy machine gun) and steal the truck [#037].

Try to drive in a slowly and steady way. Otherwise, machine guns will start drop out and you will lose money.

Next to the city entrance venezuelan army will send some troops and armed jeeps. You will encounter some barricades inside the city as well; peaceful evading should to the trick. Stop in the marked area [#038] and leave the lorry to finish the mission.

[#037][#038]

Payment: depends on the number of brought guns and it can reach even $9.500

Doom Patrol

After finishing Phone Tag ask Fiona about F.L.A.V. When you do this you will get coordinates of the base of venezuelan guerrillas.

Ask Ewan (who already will be in your team) about Eve, Mrs. Mechanic, too.

Text below is about a mission which makes that Eve well become recruited. First go to her car garage [#039].

You have to do a car test ride [#040]. Get into the car which is parked next to the garage.

[#039][#040]

Just drive through successive check points [#041]. After a while you will get a possibility to jump [#042] - by pressing left mouse button.

[#041][#042]

You will get an order to enter a quarry [#043] and the distance will become harder to cover. Some of the roads are blocked by rocks. Use boosts to jump them over. Do exactly the same thing when you have to cover precipices or keep away from falling trunks [#044].

[#043][#044]

I recommend you to use a jump as a the best way to avoid tanks [#045] which you will encounter for sure. Eventually, you will reach Eve's car garage. Park the vehicle inside the garage and leave it [#046].

[#045][#046]

Misha Milanich

When Eve join your team ask her about Misha.

He lives with pirates on an island in the north part of the map. Pop into his hut [#045] and take a mission.

You have to find for your pilot a bomb. On your map mark will appear; it shows a localization of enemies' base with wanted weapon. To get there use a water scooter [#046].

[#045][#046]

When you reach the coast destroy all nearby anti-aircraft devices [#047].

Clean up every outpost with the bomb [#048] and call Ewan. He will take weapons to the safe place.

[#047][#048]

After managing to secure all three bombs go to the shelter which Misha wants to destroy. It is situated on the island to the north of your current position.

If you have ordered air support use it. If not, steal the tank [#049].

Make sure that you are in possess of at least 300 units of fuel. If you aren't you have to steal it from the base. To do this, clean up the area very carefully. Inside, you will find another tank which you can borrow. Get nearby the shelter (marked by yellow symbol). To be able to use bombs open your PDA and choose type of a weapon which will go to your handy menu [#050].

[#049][#050]

After bombing the mission will be finished - successfully of course.

Finding Blanco

This mission is available after finishing Tropical Island Getaway for P.L.A.V.. When you start it, first you have to go to the oil rig [#051] which is situated behind your villa. Before you set off make sure that you have a lot of explosive materials. Rig must be sunk so C4s are necessary.

Reach the rig (the best way to do this is to use a venezuelan boat, you will avoid an unfriendly fire) and climb the ladder [#052] to get on upper level.

[#051][#052]

Kill a few soldiers and go on upper level [#053]. Being there, on your left you will find stairs [#054] which lead you up to your target - Blanco.

[#053][#054]

You have to be very careful because even small explosion can destroy the footbridge which takes you to Blanco's office. If that happen try to reach destination by jumping on the damaged construction. If that won't be possible call medevac and start the mission once again.

One way or another, get into the office [#055] and watch cut-scene. After it Blanco will run away and stop in the centre of the rig. You can kill him or knock down and tie [#056]. If you choose second option try to call helicopter which pick him up. This construction has heliport.

[#055][#056]

However, you can use the heliport only if you destroy every anti-aircraft device. What means that you must destroy a battleship and dispatch a soldier with rocket launcher (he is standing on the extension [#057]). When you decide that your helicopter will be safe [#058] call it and put Bianco on the deck. After that destroy whole oil rig by using one artillery attack and go back to your villa.

[#057][#058]

Get Solano

When you start this mission (after talking with Fiona) you will stand at the front of your villa. Turn right and get into Ewan's helicopter [#059]. He will drop you off in a place with additional bombs [#060]. Take them all.

[#059][#060]

Try to find a car and go toward Solano's shelter. Shortly after that you will encounter enemies in a small village with a rocket launcher [#061]. It's a good idea to neutralize it and collect rest of the ammunition and fuel.

Go further. You will find another base [#062].

[#061][#062]

You can make short work with it in a very pleasurable way. Try to enter this base in an enemy vehicle so no one will recognize you. Approach to the tank which is parked there [#063] and get into it. That will give you a better protection and additional fire power. Destroying anti-aircrafts devices won't be as difficult as before.

A next target is a bunch of opponents next to the bridge [#064]. If your tank survived previous clash use it to neutralize anti-aircrafts guns and soldiers with rockets. Otherwise, use your own - personal - fire power.

[#063][#064]

Try to go further in an opponent's vehicle, it will make that any helicopter will notice you. Reach next base [#065] where is another cannon. Get out of the vehicle next to it and destroy it; use C4s (if you have a tank just try to break through it).

In this base are also deployed tanks [#066]. I recommend you to borrow one and raze everything to the ground.

[#065][#066]

Use a tank to kill everyone on the bridge [#067] which must be covered to get Solano. Be aware about the fact that during the battle helicopters will attack you. You can destroy them by using a tank or with special air support or with a weapon [#068] situated at the end of the bridge.

[#067][#068]

After the bridge you'll encounter some blockades [#069] and few venezuelan soldiers. They aren't a problem. Kill them and continue your journey.

Finally you will get to the concrete shelter wall [#070] and crossroad next to it. Left and right road leads to anti-aircraft guns. It's a great idea to destroy them first. Fortunately, that's not a difficult task.

[#069][#070]

After destroying artillery batteries it will be time for demolishing the shelter with special bomb which should be given to you at the beginning of this mission. Mark the target with laser sight and watch like the bomb... cannot do what it should. In addition, Solano's army will attack your villa; what means that you have to back to your place.

Find very quickly a vehicle (Iguana is a proper one - has sufficient level of maximum speed and you will find it on your right) and go to the villa. With a bit of luck you will manage to deceive all your opponents whom you will encounter during your way back. After all you are in a venezuelan vehicle.

Problems may show if you decide to go across P.L.A.V.'s territory - being in a venezuelan car makes you an enemy [#071]. Try to be careful especially near barricades. Soldiers who are deployed there have anti-tank weapons.

Nearby your villa find four target [#074]. Enter your land through the front gate.

[#071][#072]

At the opposite site of your villa are parked two tanks. Use one to destroy the other one [#073]. Among your targets are also anti-aircraft vehicles. Destroy them to start deal with next four machines. Behind wall four tanks are waiting - destroy them in similar way [#074]. Be hurry because villa isn't indestructible and opponents can demolish its.

[#073][#074]

Enter the building using main entrance and watch cut-scene. Carmon will try to escape; do not pay any attention to his guards [#075]. Just get into first vehicle and chase him [#076].

[#075][#076]

Chasing will be interrupted by other jeeps and tanks, but they probably won't stop you and - after all - general will be caught. Try to push him aside from the road onto shoulder (he needs to be stopped on an object) and kick him out from vehicle. After that you can kill him or tie and call helicopter which will take him.

Second option might be a little bit difficult because the fact that nearby are many unfriendly tanks - one explosion next to the general will make him dead. After finishing all businesses with Carmen mission will be done. Then ask Fiona about China and United Nations.

Get Solano, part 2

This mission is available after finishing all missions for China or United Nations.

Contract will be started in freshly conquered Caracas. Find a helicopter (better with heavy armor) and airdrop with good weapons (RPG and hand anti-aircraft weapon). Use a helicopter to reach Solano's shelter [#077]. Try to do this from west - thanks to that you will avoid a contact with many anti-aircraft devices.

Before you destroy the shelter you have to neutralize other dangerousness. The most important are helicopters [#078] - they have to disappear.

[#077][#078]

Do exactly the same with the heavy tank which can be found nearby the shelter. Dispatch troops as well, especially soldiers who are standing on a top of the shelter.

When surroundings become clear it will be high time for using the nuclear weapon [#081]. As a target mark bottom part of the wall - the gate [#082]. If you mark something else mission might finish unsuccessfully.

[#081][#082]

Time to go inside. You will find there some soldiers; kill them and go to the marked area [#083]. You must approach to Solano's helicopter. Be prepared because you have to press a few bottoms in a correct order [#084]. That isn't difficult; try to not lose a temper and do not react in a impulsive way. It is better to wait a second than do once again a whole mission (mistake means death).

[#083][#084]

The Devastator

Missions from Uni-Pet are available [#085] after finishing Universal Petroleum task from mercenaries.

First task is about conveying a clerk to his employer's office. His name is Devastator. Reach the place marked on your map; you will encounter small shoot-out [#086] but you don't have to take part in.

[#085][#086]

Speak with the soldier who is seating nearby [#087] to get information where Devastator is. When you do this go to the mark which will appear on your map.

No matter what you think about name Devastator [#088] get on it and go back to Uni-Pet base.

[#087][#088]

Payment: $25.000

Phone Tag

Enter the corporation's building [#089] to start next mission.

After cut-scene borrow Uni-Pet's vehicle and take a look on your map [#090]. You will see three places which you must visit. However, you have to be hurry because this mission has a limit of time.

[#089][#090]

First check the post on the west; Ewan, pilot, will try place a receiver on the roof of the building with sign "estacionamiento" on it [#091]. Climb the roof killing in the same time soldiers.

Using the menu started by [1] button select that receiver. Your character will threw a smoke grenade [#092] giving a signal to the pilot where he has to drop devices.

[#091][#092]

It might be hard to leave that building. Try to get a jeep and go to the post in the south.

Indicating dropping place wouldn't be a problem but it is because the tank which patrols area around south post. Notice, that nearby is a building [#093] and inside it are soldiers with RPGs. Kill some of them, take their weapon, use it to destroy the tank and mark place for airdrop. Provide yourself for more ammo (at least 5 missiles) because soon you will start destroying another machine.

Last post is in the north-east. While it is true that clock is ticking but still you should have enough time. Begin by destroying the tank [#094] and the gate which is nearby.

[#093][#094]

Go through that gate. Turn left and walk round hangars - this way allows you to avoid many opponents. Approach airdrop point and mark it for pilot [#095].

You should have still about 10 minutes. On the map will appear the mark which shows a man who must be liberated. He is transported inside a red lorry [#096]. You have to steal that vehicle.

[#095][#096]

It can be taken over only by jumping on its bottom part [#097] and pressing particular sequence of buttons. First press reloaded button and jump button.

Take the truck to the Uni-Pet base. After stopping vehicle in appointed place Ewan will touch down nearby [#098]. Get into his machine and ask him to reach mercenaries' base.

[#097][#098]

Payment: $500.000

Leave No Trace

This mission can be taken in Uni-Pet base. First you have to go to the refinery to keep an appointment whit imprisoned businessman. Dispatch all guys who are next to the way in [#099]. Then enter the building [#100] which was attacked by those guys. You will find there your mission object - businessman. Speak with him.

[#099][#100]

Now you have to convoy him to the warehouse in the south. Enter marked area [#101] and wait as long as businessman approach to you. Then your comrade will go inside - now you have to cover him. On the screen will appear the gauge which shows state of building health. Do your best to keep that building in a good condition.

I recommend you to occupy position on the footbridge above asphalt [#102]. That's a really good vantage point. If you intending to go there it is better to have some grenades as well - they are very useful.

Nothing is standing in the way to use a machine gun which is on the ground, but remember that opponent will approach you from the north and south.

[#101][#102]

When all documents from the warehouse will become burnt escort businessman to the building in the north. I suggest you to take a vehicle; it will survive a battle. Enter with him the marked area. He will go inside the building and you have to take a good defense position. I suggest to use the heavy machine gun [#103] or the grenade launcher [#104] from the second floor of the building inside which is businessman.

[#103][#104]

Soon, Fiona will let you know about airdrop with heavy equipment. Climb the roof of the turret and take ammunition and anti-aircraft rockets [#105]. Use them to attack helicopters [#106] which will try to kill you.

[#105][#106]

When businessman notify you that all documents are burnt go down (make sure that you have a machine gun) and kill every single one soldier. Then quickly find a vehicle and get out of there [#107]. Make your way toward Uni-Pet base [#108].

[#107][#108]

Payment: $995.000

Paint the Town

Acost will give a task with opportunity to earn extra money. If you want to be wealthier do not kill civilians, even one. Look where you shoot. After getting this mission go to the city of Merida. You will find there a few buildings occupied by venezuelan army [#109].

Do your best to not damage the church [#110] - that building is the base of your client, P.L.A.V.. To be able to finish this mission in an efficient way steal unfriendly tanks.

[#109][#110]

After destroying that three buildings (with yellow marks) go to the church. Soon, it will be attacked by enemy helicopters and tanks. Around the church are many stations with heavy weapons [#111]. Thanks to this you can destroy opponents' vehicles. You must hold the church till the commander of venezuelan army, Mendez, will be uncovered.

Soon, you will know that Mendez has been hiding in nearby stadium [#112], go there.

[#111][#112]

After killing Mendez you have to take a photo with him. But you can also hit him with butt, tie and call helicopter. Second solution gives a small additional benefit.

Payment: $750.000 (+ $500.000 without dead civilians)

Corporate Headhunting

You might find this mission difficult. It's probably your first task which requires a trespassing into Uni-Pet territory. Being in the red area means that soldiers will start shooting. No matter if you worked for them, you wouldn't be able to loaf around; they attack everyone who is on their territory [#113].

Your task is to kill four men. Men in suits have many bodyguards and - in addition - you will be attack by their reinforcements (helicopters). So you have to be well prepared. Air-raids, artillery attacks, airdrops with tanks, ammunition and rocket launcher - visit other factions' stores and buy what you have to. And don't forget that your opponent has many useful 'tools' [#114].

[#113][#114]

Reaching the target in the west is quite easy. Walk round the base to approach rear wall. Shoot down just a few opponents to absorb Uni-Pet's soldiers attention. Thanks to that your target will start running towards you. Then use a grenade or an artillery attack to eliminate him.

Payment: $300.000

Tropical Island Getaway

This mission is about razing venezuelan fortress to the ground [#115]. You will get extra money if you destroy barracks (marked by green indicators).

Start this task by reaching a sand beach and walking up the hill [#116] straight to the enemy camp.

[#115][#116]

You will get first barracks [#117]. Destroy them all; use air support and dropped RPGs. Then go northward. You will find there another barrack and armed vehicle.

In the south you will find another two barracks. Demolish them and set off toward bay. There is one of the most resistant building [#118]. Prepare air support or many C4s.

[#117][#118]

Destroy the rest of the buildings [#119] and go to the castle. Destroy first tower [#120] then go over the bridge above water.

[#119][#120]

Be prepared for tough fight with helicopters and heavy machine guns. Use RPG and machine guns to cope with them. Tank airdrop may be helpful as well. You have to destroy whole wall which surrounds this place [#121].

In the end blow up the bridge used a few moments ago [#122]. It includes two parts; first destroy the further one to avoid a problem with reaching it.

[#121][#122]

Payment: $850.000 (+ $500.000 when all barracks are destroyed)

Exit Strategy

After capturing several posts for the China it will be possible to get main story mission. Go to the main china base [#123] in Venezuela.

This mission is extremely difficult; you have to liberate prisoner and destroy a few additional targets. Get a rocket launcher and a speed vehicle.

The city is full of enemies and you will be able to use serious support after destroying anti-aircraft devices [#124].

[#123][#124]

The best way to solve a problem with air defense is to steal the tank [#125] which is parked nearby south bridge. It is without opponents so taking over shouldn't be hard.

Among city streets is many troops (eliminate those who want call reinforcements), three tanks, three anti-aircraft vehicles and three buildings which are your secondary targets. First deal with air defense devices. When you decide that no anti-aircraft machine left go back to the south holding line [#126].

[#125][#126]

Call a helicopter [#127]. It will help you reach the building with chinese prisoner.

Mission can be unsuccessfully finished because someone may kill Chinese. You have to know as well, that your on-the-roof prisoner [#128] has some guards. Dispatching them should be easy.

[#127][#128]

As soon as you land, unfriendly heavy armed helicopters might appear [#129]. This is the moment when rocket launcher can be used. Destroy them and take the prisoner to the safe place [#130].

[#129][#130]

How to come to an end secondary target when Chinese is standing on the roof of the building which must be demolished? I suggest you to take him to the save place (e.g. one of the chinese posts), go back to the city, raze construction to the ground and then take him where you have to.

The Price of Gas

Mission sounds exciting - it is about destroying main Universal Petroleum base.

To be more accurate you have to destroy main office, nearby base and bridge which leads to Maracaibo [#131]. Therefore it is wise to get air support. Tank can be helpful as well [#132] (take one from chinese base).

[#131][#132]

Be careful during covering Caracas; United Nations' army is deployed in that city. After your freshly done excess with chinese prisoner they want tear you to pieces (unless you solved that problem with bribe).

Finally, you will reach your first target, bridge [#133]. It is a good idea to steal anti-aircraft vehicle [#134]. You will be attacked form air so you have to be able to protect yourself. Of course, nothing stand in the way of using hand rocket launchers.

[#133][#134]

Demolishing that bridge depends only on appropriate number of C4s and air support. Your next target is the base in north part of Maracaibo. If you need fuel try to find some cisterns. You don't have to be hurry, this mission is not limited by time.

You can reach the base using an opponents' vehicle [#135] - thanks to that no one will recognize you. Try to approach anti-aircrafts vehicles [#136] and destroy them. Thanks to this calling support will be possible. After that steal a tank and raze the base to the ground; use air-rides and your new machine gun. If it will be necessary steal another tank.

[#135][#136]

After demolishing the base [#137] fill up fuel and prepare yourself for the attack on the main Uni-Pet office. Try to reach enemies' territory through the front gate [#138].

[#137][#138]

When you get in, notice that resistance is much more weak than outside. With ease you can handle with tanks and radar-jamming vehicles [#139]. After dispatching all soldiers use a stolen tank and air-ride to demolish the building [#140].

[#139][#140]

Payment: $10.000.000

Battle for Caracas vs. Allies

This is the last mission for China. After finishing you will get a lot of money and nuclear bomb.

Your goal is to drive away United Nations' army from Caracas. You will find some targets inside the city as well [#141]. Moreover, you have to find agent Joyce, allies' commander in this region. First, deal with the city. Provide yourself with more C4s, artillery attacks and then find a chinese tank. It is advisable to get the heaviest one - it can be found somewhere nearby the road which leads to the city.

Each target is protected by soldiers with rocket launchers and armed vehicles. Neutralizing them is like a routine: buildings destroy with tanks [#142] and try to aim from further distance - thanks to this enemies won't attack you.

[#141][#142]

The most difficult target is in the north - it has exceptionally strong protection. Moreover, before you reach it your tank will be probably destroyed. So that's why I recommend you to use an United Nations' vehicle [#143]; approach your target as quickly as possible and blow it up with C4s [#144]. During getaway steal one heavy tank after the other.

[#143][#144]

Now it's time for Joyce; He can be killed or caught. Port where was your last target you will depart probably inside an United Nations' tank. Try to use it to reach [#145] headquarter.

Joyce can be simply killed. But if you decide to catch him, first - as usually - you have to destroy all anti-aircraft devices [#146]. It's pretty hard task but I guarantee that it is feasible. Artillery attacks may help you to accomplish this challenge.

[#145][#146]

Missile Commando

Your task is to enter the city which is situated to the north of Caracas and destroy all chinese artillery batteries. You have to act quickly because chinese positions have to be destroyed before allies' one fall down.

Get into random vehicle [#147] and go towards previously mentioned artillery stations. Road [#148] which you probably choose is going to be under fire but do not worry; just go further.

[#147][#148]

If you use the road showed in the picture above you will reach chinese blockade. Steal armed vehicle which is parked nearby [#149] and go toward artillery positions.

Destroy all three lorries [#150] with rockets. On the surface it may be perceived as a difficult task but your opponent hasn't got many anti-aircraft weapons.

[#149][#150]

Now go toward the river. There will be many obstacles in your way and that's why I recommend you to go by walk.

Now you have to destroy three chinese battleships [#151]. If you have air support you can use it. If you haven't try to steal one of them and use its missiles to destroy the others [#152].

[#151][#152]

After sinking go back on the ground. Now, Chinese are without missiles and this is the reason why gauge with allies health disappear. Now it's time for chinese commanders. Steal an anti-aircraft vehicle, if you have a problem with troops who protect them.

Payment: $5.000.000

Lost and Found

On the island Margarita chinese base is situated. There are people who must be liberated too. Moreover, there is a plane wreck which has to be blown up.

Reach the port in Caracas (one of the allies' posts) and try to find boat. Then use it to get to Margarita. In the vicinity of island you will find some chinese ships, take one of them [#153]. Soon it will be useful.

At the beginning handle with the wrack (in the south). Destroy one part of this plane which is located on an enemies' battleship [#154]. After that reach the coast (part of it from which is the nearest to the next part of the plane), leave your ship and go on the island.

[#153][#154]

It is good to have some anti-aircraft weapons in this moment - RPGs or C4s. You will use them not only to destroy plane wrack [#155] but also to destroy tanks (in my opinion it is hard to steal them).

Last part of the plan wrack is located on the territory around the villa [#156], in the north part of the island. One air-ride should do the trick with plane and with troops as well.

[#155][#156]

If you care about prisoners you have to deal with them before you destroy last part of the plane. To do this just make a hole [#157] in the north part of the wall and neutralize air defense. After that guide them to the beach [#158]. You can safely evacuate them from that place. During your journey dispatch soldiers on turrets - you will find them irritating

[#157][#158]

Payment: $10.000.000 (+ $4.000.000 for each liberated prisoner)

Battle for Caracas vs. China

Now it's time for the last mission for United Nations.

It is about destroying four target in Caracas and catching (or killing) chinese general, Peng. First deal with objects in the city [#159].

Air defense stations are your targets. Prepare armour-piercing rocket launcher (selling by United Nations) and many missiles. Begin by destroying target in the south.

AA vehicle is parked nearby the bridge and it is protected by heavy chinese tanks [#160]. It is hard to steal them so that's why I suggest you to ignore them. Simply approach it inside a jeep and hit it with rocket. One missile is sufficient to destroy that vehicle. Moreover, United Nations' troops, who are deployed nearby, will divert chinese tanks and troops attention; making your task easier to do.

[#159][#160]

After that get into your vehicle on go northward. Doing this you will encounter a little bit stronger resistance but stay with your old tactic. Approach your objective, leave the car, hit the target, get into the car and go toward another object.

Third anti-aircraft vehicle is located next to the United Nations' post. You can reach it going along the coast line [#161].

Because your vehicle will be probably destroyed, pop into allies' post to get another car. Your last target is located in the north-west part of the city. It is parked on the lawn among other cars [#162]. Make sure that you have one missile and use it.

[#161][#162]

Now it's time to dispatch Peng. Try to find chinese vehicle (visit chinese posts [#163] or suburb) and use it to reach Chinese's headquarter in Venezuela [#164].

[#163][#164]

If you want to catch Peng, first you have to destroy all anti-aircraft devices [#165]. Two air defense vehicles are parked at the front of the castle and third behind its [#166]. You can see that vehicle through the hole in wall.

[#165][#166]

Peng is standing on the forward part of the wall [#167]. Killing guys who protect him is very easy but the problem is with a place for the helicopter. If pilot cannot touch the ground drag your target on the beach.

[#167]

Payment: $25.000.000

Outpost Missions

Each faction which offers a job (except Mercenaries) can offer taking over outposts as well. This type of mission is about reaching marked venezuelan bases, killing soldiers (not necessarily all of them) and calling backup for free.

When you do this helicopter will reach your destination (if not that means too many active anti-aircraft devices are still nearby) and drop off a few soldiers. Xs into the upper right corner [#168] inform how many allied soldiers have to enter outpost to take it over.

[#168]

For instance, if there are three Xs that means three soldiers must enter the building; but you mustn't allow other enemy soldiers to get into that post. If the building enter two allied soldiers (when three are required) and after that two enemy troops as well, ratio between enemies and allies will be equal. That means you still have to send tree soldiers to get into that outposts.

Allies arrive in a helicopter [#169]. Your job is to make good conditions for that; just neutralize anti-aircraft devices.

[#169]

Each outpost has an alarm system. If rival soldiers manage to reach turret with installed siren they will start alarm. After that near buildings will become a big problem. Soldiers will use windows to shoot you down (with RPGs). Unfortunately, it is impossible to kill all of them - their number is without limit. The best way to solve that problem is to demolish enemies' barrack or destroy sirens.

Your opponents have heavy vehicles (e.g. tanks). You can steal that machines [#170] and use them against you enemies.

[#170]

Prices for outposts are the same in a particular faction.

Taking over outposts is very important. Thanks to that you will get money but also you will unlock missions (connected with storyline). Moreover, each conquered post will become a point where Ewan can take you.

Wagers

If you want to earn some money without a hard work just ask people who live in your villa if they want make a deal with you. For example, if you speak with Fiona you will be have a chance to take part in competition; it is about destroying targets with machine guns and grenade launchers as quick as possible [#171].

[#171]

Each challenge is limited by time. If you manage to destroy all objects in time whole accepted amount of money will be yours. If you lose Fiona will be rewarded. Use 'Change wager' [#172] to change the amount.

[#172]

Each reward unlocks another level of wager. Higher level makes that you have less time to do all goals. But in exchange for that you can win much more money.

Challenges

Factions which offer many different jobs will offer you also challenges. Making them gives you money, friendships (or conflicts because some of the challenges are aim against other factions) and access to new equipments in stores.

Each challenge has different nature but their rules are usually banal. You will experience many time races - similar to Doom Patrol mission - where you will be forced to reach check points [#173] without wasting time.

[#173]

Pirate faction specialize in giving challenges. They live on islands in the north-west part of the map. They don't offer any story missions; only taking over outposts and challenges.

Some of the tasks require providing them with cars full of bottles of rum [#174]. You have to be careful then because if you start driving fast you will probably lose some of them.

[#174]

Challenges are similar to wagers; once you finish a task another level of difficulty will be available (less time, more bottles of rum etc.) - and better money of course..

Additional Targets

Apart from taking over outposts and challenges some of the factions accept help so you will be able to demolish occupied buildings [#175], destroy billboards and kill VIPs.

It's simple. If you want to destroy building or billboard just exhaust its health gauge. I recommend you tanks, artillery (most of the targets are without jamming devices) and heavy helicopters (anti-aircraft devices are rarely installed as well, well-equipped machine will be able to destroy many targets during one flight).

[#175]

There is a small difference with killing VIPs (co-called HVT - High Value Targets). After finding them (their localization is showed on the map) you can kill them or catch.

If you decide to kill you target just shot it down and take a picture of the dead body (after approaching a corpse special option will appear).

You will earn twice money if you choose less violent option. But first you have to be in a good relationship with faction for which you work. For example, if Universal Petroleum wants a head of the member of P.L.A.V. that means you have to bury the hatchet and reconcile yourself with the consortium before you start the mission.

After that go toward your target. You have to approach a person who will be caught, hit it with butt and tie [#176]. Then you must neutralize nearby air defense and call the helicopter [#177] which will take your freshly caught men away.

[#176][#177]

If your relationship - with the faction for which you work - will be weak you won't be able to call the helicopter. When machine touches the ground [#178] you have to drag your target [#179] close to the helicopter. Before you do this eliminate enemy troops - thanks to this no one will disturb your job.

[#178][#179]

Second way is better paid but it is also linked with many problems. You can be easy killed, each bullet/tank missile/grenade can kill you target. Therefore you have to act very quickly to eliminate opponents. Moreover, if you want to finish this kind of tasks you cannot use an artillery support, fuel bombs etc.

Additional missions don't give a opportunity to earn a lot of money. They do give something else, something better - wider range of equipments in stores and (sporadically) gifts - free support: additional vehicles, airdrops with equipment and bombardments. Do not forget about changes with relationships too.

Spare Parts

On the territory of Venezuela you will find special packages with spare parts (100 unites). If you have Eve, the mechanic, in your team it will be possible to create new vehicles - thanks to parts of course.

I suggest you to collect them all before you do Battle for Caracas mission (for China or Allied Nations). After doing that task some of the parts will become unavailable. You won't be able to reach China's or Allied Nation's headquarter.

Packages with spare parts are red and highly noticeable [#180].

[#180]

Localizations of spare parts are shown in four pictures below:

north-west corner of the map [#181];

south-west corner of the map [#182];

north-east corner of the map [#183];

south-east corner of the map [#184].
