Description:
You have two units of soldiers and a VTOL (vertical take-off and landing aircraft) at your disposal in this mission. The VTOL can move all over the map and strike down enemies below with the mounted cannon. You need to search five safehouses, in most cases you will find your target, Karma, in the fourth one. Next, you have to escort her to the extraction site. Karma will be in the fourth house and it is the order in which you search the houses that matters not the place on the map.
Squads of soldiers will be appearing in (1) and (2). Immediately turn the tactical view on and note the houses glowing in orange, especially the three on the right. These will be the ones you will search first. Command your troops to storm the first house in (3) (picture above), and then immediately move to the VTOL and start to look for enemies.
For now, you won't find many. As soon as you hear the message that there's no one in the first safehouse, immediately turn on the tactical mode and order the troops to search the second house in (4) (first picture above). Immediately move to the VTOL. Look out for enemies, indicated by red square corners and eliminate all of them (second picture above). The enemy quad-drones won't be marked, but try to locate and destroy them as well. But don't shoot at your allies!
New groups of enemies will be running out of (8) and (9). Pay special attention to (8), to a large group of enemies that should appear just behind the tallest building in the area (first picture above). Moreover, explore the area around the current target in (4), and also shoot at the balcony of the building in (5), because your men will be fired at from there. When your men take control of the building (4), order them to take the one in (5) (second picture above) and wait patiently until it happens, searching for the enemies around.
Before you go out of the VTOL, try to kill as many enemies as you can who are surrounding the building (7), in order to make the task ahead easier - shoot particularly at the windows (picture above). You can even fly a bit further and clear the area around the building (6). In the meantime, order all the soldiers to go to (10) and don't stay too long in the VTOL. You should have at least two minutes till the end of the mission. The more time you have, the more attempts to complete the upcoming action.
Choose one of the soldiers, and - assuming you're in the area of (1) - start running exactly to the left, to the wooden bridge. Along the way, stop and take out the soldier in the window of the building (11) (first picture above). Start to go to (7), paying attention to the map and defending yourself if any enemies run out of (12) or out of the tunnel in (13) (second picture above).
Keep going to the abovementioned tunnel in (13). Go to the other side, turn right and climb the stairs (picture above). Immediately run inside the apartment in order not to get killed by any soldiers and quad-drones that are in the street. If there are a lot of opponents here, then at least get rid of some of them. As a last resort use the VTOL, however, you should have cleared this place before arriving at it with your soldier.
There might be two opponents in the apartment (7), one can shoot at the entrance, through which you got here. If you have an EMP grenade, throw it, if not, quickly hide on the right. Eliminate both enemies and don't let anyone take you by surprise. Afterwards come up to the tied-up Karma, who is sitting on a chair (picture above), and press the use button to free her.
Attention! You have to run away fast, because from now on, if all your soldiers die, you won't get any more new troops. Moreover, enemies will start "freaking out" on the map, some of them may go in pursuit. Don't waste any time, just start playing as Karma, pick up a weapon of one of the enemies and have a look at your way back through the window. If you see any enemy or quad-drone, take them out. Then, jump out of the window (picture above) ...
... and race as fast as you can to (1). You can only hope you'll be lucky and that no one will kill you along the way, but there should not be many such occasions. When you get at least 10 meters close to the aircraft (picture above), the mission will be successful.
