02 - Research and Development | Syndicate Sequence 5 Walkthrough AC: Syndicate Guide
Last update: 24 February 2020
Go towards the marked territory where you will find a convoy consisting of four carriages. Your objective is to rescue the prisoner. To do it, you must stop his carriage. Let all the policemen see you and block their way. Then stand in one place and wait for the officers to start chasing you, leaving their vehicles. You can quickly defeat them, but if you want to complete the side objective, the only solution will be luring them away from the vehicle. Play cat and mouse, leading the chase behind you and then perform a sudden turn and jump to the carriage. Finally, escape and become anonymous - this will allow you to free Ned.
You will start the second part of the mission in a train. Jump on the enemy vehicle that is moving on the parallel track and start moving towards the last chest. On the way you will have a chance to eliminate few enemies, it can be done easily while remaining in hiding. You won't find anything in the chests you bypass (remember about detaching the wagons), the cargo you seek is in the last one. Finally, detach the wagon and go back to Ned's train - while at it, watch out to avoid jumping under the wagon which will be still moving for a few moments after detaching.
Challenges
Do not kill a single policeman - capture the vehicle without attacking the policemen. The best strategy is allowing the officers to see you, after what they will stop the convoy, and luring them away from the carriage. Then run in a large circle, steal the vehicle and escape as quickly as possible.
Detach the reinforcement wagons - detach the wagon with the first chest and the next wagon, with the second chest.
