SECURING THE CHIMERA DEPOT:
In order to get to the chimera depot you must begin moving north-west after you leave the base. Thankfully you'll be surrounded by blue force fields, so you can't really get lost. Ignore an American soldier whom you'll encounter along the way and allow him to proceed with the execution on the enslaved Chinese soldiers. Keep heading towards the area where you must team up with your squad. Talk to Montgomery when you get there [#60] and issue the order to begin the assault on the ice camp.
[#60]
Follow your team members to the ice camp. You won't have to provide too much support, especially if you've chosen a sentry bot to be a member of your team. If you want to be a part of the assault, start using the sniper rifle to gun down more distant targets. This is also a good idea if you want to earn more experience points easily. Secure the first outpost and proceed towards the tents. There are more enemy units in the distance [#61] and it would be wise to use grenades to get rid of them. You can also wait for your colleagues to get here and finish the job for you. Notice that you've entered Chinese Forward Camp Delta.
[#61]
Proceed towards the left tent. There are two dispensers inside the tent, as well as typical supplies (cells, mines, grenades and rockets). You can use the nearby computer if you want to run a decryption algorythm. Proceed to the opposite exit from the tent and start using the sniper rifle to take out new enemy soldiers. Focus on securing both guard towers [#62], because they seem to be the biggest threat. Watch out for guard dogs and use a standard 10mm pistol against the animals.
[#62]
Don't forget to talk to Montgomery if you've lost some of your squad members or if you're unhappy with your current settings. Keep heading north, towards new tents. The left tent hides the fifth briefcase [#63]. Collect this item and then proceed to the right tent. Head on to the opposite exit. Turn left and start moving towards the main entrance to the base.
[#63]
I would recommend that you choose grenades from your inventory, because enemy forces are taking cover just around the corner, to your right [#64]. Prevent them from making a surprise attack. Thankfully the explosions won't kill American soldiers. Approach each of the soldiers and press the action key to release them. This is an important activity, because you'll be rewarded with 50 experience points for each American soldier you're able to free. Notice an ammo dispenser, as well cells, grenade and mines.
[#64]
You may start moving towards the canyon. You won't meet any standard enemy units here, but instead you'll be dealing with spider drones [#65]. Thankfully you can use even the pistol to dispose of the mechanical beasts. Alternatively you could remain in the back and allow your squad members to deal with all the spiders. The biggest group of drones will attack you near the frozen lake. Keep pushing forward and prevent the spiders from getting too close to your character, because they would explode.
[#65]
You should be able to get to the Chimera Armor Depot soon enough. Start off by killing two enemy soldiers. They will be occupying nearby guard towers [#66]. The easiest way to get rid of them is to use a sniper rifle, however if you're patient, you can wait for your ally with a rocket launcher to kill them. Start moving towards the base. Approach the main gate and press the action key to open it.
