Act 1 - Defend the Church or Bar
Mission Details: Reuben has some vital info for me. He’s hiding out at that deserted lumber camp southeast of the town. He’ll be waiting there inside a building.
Objective: Talk to Reuben at the lumber camp.
Grab a vehicle and exit Pala on the southeastern road. Drive toward Mike’s Bar and the weapons shop. Before you reach them, veer to the left and proceed toward the Lumber Camp. Search the camp for health and ammo before entering the building containing Reuben. When you’re done, go to the building marked by the objective and enter. Find Reuben inside-he has some bad news. The faction you’re currently working for has turned on you and your friends.
The faction has begun wiping out all opponents including hired guns and civilian dissenters. The faction plans to assault Mike’s Bar and the church in Pala. You’ll have to make a choice-which one do you help?
Objective: Meet your buddy at Mike’s or meet Father Maliya at the town church.
Let’s head back to the church. Get back into your car and drive from the Lumber Camp back to Pala. Park at the town and notice that the residents have left.
When you’re ready, approach the church entrance and go inside. Approach Father Maliya and speak with him. He’s helping others escape the church and asks you to move the cabinet in front of the escape passage. Walk over to the other side of the cabinet on the right side. Use the action button to move it.
Objective: Defend the church.
Seconds after you’ve moved the cabinet to protect Father Maliya, enemies break into the church, mostly through the windows. You can make a valiant effort and attempt to fight off the attackers but the same result happens every time: you eventually are overwhelmed and your health bar depletes to zero.
If you decide to go to the bar, drive down to the marked location at Mike’s Bar. Eliminate any guards outside. Get inside. When prompted, help your buddy push the fridge in front of the door.
Objective: Defend Mike’s Place.
The windows break open and enemies completely surround the bar. You’re in no-win situation. You fight off the horde as long as you want but eventually all of your buddies and you will fall to the assault.
Act 1 - Counter Attack
Mission Details: Leboa-Sako fell and me with it. They’re hauling the dead out to some mass grave in the desert...looks like I’m the only one in this truck with a pulse... they must have thought I was dead...
Objective: Get to shelter.
The truck hits a rock and you roll out of the back-you’re in a blinding sandstorm. Pick a direction and start moving. Eventually you will pass out. When you wake up, the Jackal stands over you and fills you in on what’s going on. Soon after, another man enters. Apparently your dealings with the faction aren’t over yet. Your next orders depend on which faction you were attacked by in the previous mission but the concept remains the same: terminate a faction leader at a troop rally. So note while the names and factions may differ on your play-through, the objective is identical.
Objective: Terminate faction leader at his troop rally.
Take a drink of water and you’ll stand up. Heal your wounds and then replenish your syrette supply using the cabinet on the left side of the room. Gather the weapons here-there’s an assault rifle, pistol, and mortar.
As you follow the road to the north, expect to encounter an enemy patrol. Switch to the jeep’s machine gun and eliminate the attackers. Repair your car or just take the other one and continue along the road.
You’ll enter the next map, which is basically the southwestern side of Leboa-Sako. Note the weapon shop to the west. You can use it to switch out any of your gathered weapons from the shelter for your personal favorites. For instance, a sniper rifle can be particularly handy in eliminating the faction leader the troop rally. Just stay back and long-range and terminate in a single headshot.
When approaching the troop rally, drive in the grassland between the two guard posts to avoid confrontation. Approach the troop rally from the western side. Park the car far away-you should be able to hear the rally as you get close. Get into the hill on the west side of the rally; it has a great vantage point on the rally below. Plus there’s plenty of brush for cover. You will spot the faction leader easily: he’s standing on a vehicle with a megaphone in hand. Take him out with a sniper ideally. If you prefer to get dirty, then get closer and use an assault rifle. If you prefer to get creative, try the mortar recovered at the safe house.
