Time: 10:30 AM
Main tasks:
1# talk to Shaftoe
2# find evidence
Move to guard post. They'll welcome you as a hero. After some chat drive Humvee to hill top [1]. You are in base Manhattan - gear, vehicle and intelligence source. Shaftoe sits on chair under net. Talk to him [2]. Task 2# talk to Shaftoe completed. Commander will add new tasks to your mission:
3# search Gorka
4# arrest Lew Nicolayev
5# arrest Antonina Lagushina
6# kill weapon smuggler
7# find Chedaki main base
8# clear Chedaki sentry posts
9# kill Chedaki leader
WARNING: All tasks excluding 7# find Chedaki main base and 9# kill Chedaki leader can be completed in any order. These 2 quests should be left at the moment. In base we have access to better gear. So, change Humvee with M2 with LAV-25. Also Shaftoe guarantee additional support - air transport and artillery strike.
Gorka
Go to church [1]. Search for weapon cache behind building. In few seconds father Fyodors will try to stop you and explain that guns are needed for NAPA warriors to fight against Chedaki. You can report it to your commander or keep in secret if Fyodor reveal NAPA plans. Father orders you to move to Novy Sobor and talk with NAPA. Task 3# search Gorka completed. Do it. They're working on small farm, if you get close to them - conversation will start [2]. Cooper convinces boys that American army can handle with Chedaki. One of farmers will show you possible location of Chedaki main base.
Lew Nicolayev
The first suspect is living in Khelm village on eastern side of country. If you get close to his house - he will explode and assassin run away (even if you catch him, you won't gather information). There's nothing you can do. Army will send some soldiers to explore ruins. Task 4# arrest Lew Nicolayev completed.
Antonina Lagushina
Secondary suspect changes place during all day. Check your watch. From 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM you will find her in Krasnystav. On evening she meets her boyfriend in Olsha, but most time she spends in hometown Gvozdno. Try to catch her in Krasnystav [1]. Talk to her, then transport to LZ Jersey, make sure she will get in Hind. You can also prepare for some action with 2 UAZ's [2]. It's easy to waste them with your LAV-25. Task 5# arrest Antonina Lagushina completed. In addition, Lagushina is one of the two elements necessary to complete 2# find evidence.
Weapon smugglers
Smuggler moves along with partner in white car. You can meet them on route Gvozdno-Grishino (but he travels throughout area) [1]. Kill them and search bodies. Task 6# kill weapon smuggler completed. You'll find the address of the hideout in Dobruvka.
Additional task: 10# check hideout
Drive to the village. Local residents are working for Chedaki. Kill them and enter the house [2]. Cooper will report discovery to command and you, and you receive another element needed to complete 2# find evidence. Task 10# check hideout completed. Go back to Manhattan and talk to Shaftoe, then go back to work.
Sentry posts
Posts are not well defended. They're made up with 3-4 men. Attack them with LAV-25. There are 6 possible locations in area, but only 4 are required to complete task. Sentry posts coordinates: 103/039, 102/033, 108/025, 129/025, 096/060, 081/051. Task 8# clear Chedaki sentry posts completed.
Chedaki base
To search Chedaki base it's necessary to know possible location taken on the occasion of the task 3# search Gorka. One of NAPA warriors talked about it. Before action rearm with rocket launcher (search Chedaki's death bodies). Base is certainly on open areas, especially near Pobeda Dam on north and Gvozdna on south. If you want - fly a helicopter to discover it from air. Then land on the ground and sneak to camp but left your squad behind you. It's important because you will call artillery strike in few moments. Task 7# find Chedaki main base completed.
Task: 11# destroy Chedaki main base
Set on position and use your binoculars to examine facility and patrol paths [1]. Don't wait for Boomerang squad (he's too weak for action) and send a proper call for artillery on base marker- Fire for Effect HE. Be aware of patrolling armored vehicle (you'll wait about 45-60 seconds from call to strike). Kill marauders and regroup your squad [2]. Also, check abandoned T-72 with working cannon. Destroy every single base object, including small bunkers.
Task 11# destroy Chedaki main base completed
Chedaki leader
Leader is in base, so after artillery strike look for body with Search action. It's hard to recognize target on photos in Notes section. It's next element in task 2# fin evidence. Task 9# kill Chedaki leader complete.
Evidence
Elements needed to complete this task are: arrested Antonina Lagushina, hideout in Dobruvka, documents in body of Chedaki leader.
Task 2# find evidence completed
WARNING 2: If you saved previously doctor Sova and Valentina Galkina, you'll meet them here. Sova lives in Krasnystav. Valentina is on move in red car. Both have some information about sentry posts. If you won't meet them in advance - some bad guys will kill them.
