Lost Cause

Overview: While on vacation in the Philippines, a group of German nationals has been kidnapped by a terrorist organization.
Objectives: Infiltrate the compound. Locate the hostages. Assist the team to secure the compound.
Time: 23:39 HOURS
Location: Terrorist Camp. Basilan Islands, Philippines
Organization: German GSG-9

Your orders are to silently infiltrate the compound and locate the hostages inside. If you’re detected before locating the hostages, the mission ends in immediate failure.

Objective: Use the Fiber Optic Camera to locate hostages.

Move quietly along the fence. You can search the area to the right but will quickly find it blocked by a padlock. Instead, enter the shack on the left. Move cautiously around the sleeping guard and pick up the blowtorch off of the table. Exit the shack and go to the left. Find the padlock on the ground and use the blowtorch to open the lock.

Maneuver underneath the cracks and use the fiber optic camera to see what’s going on above your position.

Drop down into the crawlspace and maneuver underneath the patrolling guards above. Work your way to the end of the crawlspace and find cracks in the ceiling overhead. Use the fiber optic camera on each crack to see the hostage positions as well as a room containing additional guards.

Objective: Report hostage positions to CNC.

The crack underneath the hostages becomes a radio zone. Toggle your inventory and select the radio. Use it to report the hostages’ position.

Objective: Enter compound and provide support for assault team.

Move around to the right side of this crawlspace to find a slanted beam providing access to the compound. Beware of the hostiles charging down; they’re now alerted to your presence. Listen to the warning over the radio: watch out for trip wires!

Trip wire mines protect the compound’s passageways. Shoot them from a safe distance or use a grenade to cause a chain reaction explosion.

At the intersection, go down the hall on the right side. There’s a trip wire at your feet. Shoot the device from a safe distance. Eliminate the hostiles in the room to the left and shoot the barrels to open a new passage. Snag the shotgun and ammunition from the table and utilize the medkit as needed. And heed another warning: fires are detonating explosives all over the compound.

Kill the hostile on the other side of the new passage. Turn right and spot another trip wire along the ground. Toss a grenade at the corner and back up into the previous room to avoid taking damage. If the trip wire doesn’t detonate, jump over it. Go to the left. Shoot an open window to the right to find some shotgun ammo and a grenade. Move around the corner on the left (a hostile died here so your friends are near) and find the counter-terrorists in the hostage room.

Objective: Clear path for assault team to the docks.

Fellow counter-terrorists have new orders for you.

Listen to your new orders then search the back of the room for health, ammo, armor, and a smoke grenade. Exit the hostage area and return to the right. An explosion opens a passage ahead. Neutralize the hostiles then shoot more in the room to the left. The smoke grenade can prove useful here because of the RPG-wielding hostile across the way. Toss it around the corner for additional cover against the hostiles. You can also strafe carefully around the corner and shoot the RPG launcher before he can fire a shot. Also beware of a sniper along the roof to the left and another in a tower on the right (shoot the barrels for added explosives).

Get into the window using the small crate around the right corner. Look left and shoot the hostile (if you shoot the barrels the explosion will inflict some damage to you). Proceed to the right and spot the trip wire around the corner. Shoot it from a safe distance. Ignore the staircase on the right temporarily and move ahead around the corner to the left. Shoot the barrels in the distance to eliminate some hostages. Return to the staircase and ascend.
