Tip of the Spear - Roadblocks

Escort the Assault Derrick to the Deployment Zone

Yup, you're back on foot, just like old-times. Grab the ammo box to the right of the car, then enter the building on the left by kicking open the door.

Eliminate All Tickers so the Assault Derrick can Continue

As you enter the house, climb the stairs behind the bar to find a loft containing ammo, grenades, and the Jacinto Sentinel Newspaper. Now head back downstairs and continue deeper into the house. After the cutscene showing the Tickers scamper by, keep back from the exit and shoot the Tickers as they run up (there's some ammo in the corner to your right). Once it sounds like things have died down, step out a few feet into the snow, then quickly backtrack into the house, as two more will appear. Once they're down, it's safe to proceed outside.

Check the deck to the left for anther ammo box, then continue through the busted fence ahead, around the back, then through an alley. Chainsaw the gate, grab the ammo box, then stay behind the sandbags so you can target more tickers that appear.

Before turning up the street, check the dead-end on the right for some grenades, and a Memorial Inscription embedded in the wall.

Take Cover from the Incoming Nemacyst Attack

Several balloon-shaped creatures will appear in the air overhead. Target them quickly, then run up the hill and duck behind the concrete wall on the right—you want to get there before gunner appears on top of the gas station. Once he does, lob a grenade onto the rooftop to take him down easily. Now there's one more gunner to the left, but don't bother with him, as Derrick will roll in shortly and smoosh him like a bug.

With the area clear, explore the gas station to find some goods, including a box of ammo and a Truck Driver's Note on the floor of the back room. Now hop the barrier on the right side of the gas station , collect an ammo box, then continue down the street and into a tunnel.

You'll find several goodies inside the gas station.

Clear the Tunnel

If this dark tunnel reminds you of the Subway scene in Cloverfield, you're not alone. Essentially, the tunnel is riddled with tickers, so it's best to move slow for a couple of reasons: It allows the large flashlight behind you to keep up, but more importantly, it should give you plenty of breathing space to shoot the scampering critters. However, even with the light, if can be difficult to see them—look for their dust trail and lead your shots to take them down. Oh, and make sure to grab the ammo box and grenades just past the first car on the left. Climb the staircase at the end of the first section, get ready to tackle a few more that charge your way from a hole ahead, then exit back into the tunnel via the other exit. Check for more ammo on the right of the first car, then use the same tactics as before to make it through the tunnel.

As you approach the exit, a Reaver will fly in. Take cover behind the car, then work on taking it down. Once it's dead, you may finally exit the tunnel.

Clear the Buildings of All Locust Activity

As you exit the tunnel, the town will fall victim to another mortar attack, and you'll then be given a choice: Go through the Hotel, or stick to the rooftops. The choice is yours, and we offer a walkthrough for each below.

-Hotel Path

Proceed upstairs and take cover to either side of the door and shoot the enemies out on the rooftop. Now grab an ammo box to the right, then continue onto the roof, where you'll find another ammo box on the right. Continue along the rooftop and wait for Dom to blow a hole through which you can continue. Enter the hall on the left, grab the ammo box at the dead-end, then kick down the door on the other side. Immediately take cover to either side to kill the foes inside. Take cover by the windows on the right and pummel the foes on the other side with bullets to the face—they're one great weakness. Once clear, proceed outside and grab an ammo box on the left, as well as a Mortar.

When tackling the Brumak, aim the mortar carefully, but quickly.

-Rooftop Path

Climb the staircase and turn right at the top for an ammo box. Now continue in the other direction, and take cover behind a low concrete wall around the corner, enabling you to shoot the enemies beyond. Afterward, climb the ladder around the next corner, kill the baddie manning the mortar, then collect the ammo in the corner. Now Dom will request a small favor: create an entrance for him. Grab the nearby mortar, then set it down by holding the Left-Trigger and face it toward the building across the way (Hold "Y" if you're not sure which one). Now fire the Mortar at the maximum distance (just keep holding the fire button) to blow a hole in the building—easy, right?! Now drop the mortar and climb back down the ladder and open the door on the right, once Jack has unlocked it. Inside, use the windows on the left to kill the foes on the roof, then continue outside.

Defend the Assault Derrick From the Brumak

Regardless of which route you took, you'll emerge on a rooftop containing a mortar. Grab it, as a Brumak is coming your way from the tunnel! Ready your mortar (by setting it down with the "Left Trigger") and launch several mortars at him to take him down. Make sure to adjust your distance appropriately if they're not connecting.
