Warm-up | [Mission 01] Contact! Ghost Recon AW Guide
Last update: 05 June 2016
Threats: The first part of the mission is very simple. It should be treated as a standard tutorial section. You must be careful, though. Some of the first enemy soldiers will appear on the map very soon. You have to be ready for them. Remember to move slowly. Otherwise you might have some serious problems noticing them. If you've chosen one of the higher difficulty settings, it would be equal to an instant death. There are some guys equipped with rocket launchers later in this mission. You will also have to deal with several sniper units. Remember to use the tactical view in order to see where they're hiding.
Main objective: Once you've safely reached the ground, you will have to rejoin with the rest of your team. 'Ghost' members are located throughout the whole sector. Thankfully, you will be able to see where they're standing. Once you've completed this objective, you'll make a contact with Ramirez in order to receive new orders.
Walkthrough: You start off inside a plane (#1). There's nothing to do here, so you might as well look around a bit. The computer will control all of your movements. You will leave the plane in just a few seconds. This is a great opportunity to take a closer look at the city (#2). Lovely, isn't it? :-)
You will get closer to the ground in just a few seconds (#1). Don't worry, the parachute is going to be used automatically. CHECKPOINT 1. Get ready, because you will land on a freeway very soon. The game will display some of the first hints very shortly. It would be wise to start reading them (#2). First of all, you'll learn how to move your character. It is imperative that you practice taking some of the different stances - standing, crouching or lying on the ground. Peeking 'round corners is also very important.
A new icon will appear on your screen very shortly. You should familiarize yourself with it. It will tell you an exact distance to your current destination. Bear in mind that in some situations a few icons will appear simultaneously. It means than you can proceed to these spots in any order. You should be getting closer to a huge truck (#1). Press the CTRL button in order to lie down on the ground. Start moving under the truck (#2). You'll do it much faster if you press the SHIFT button. After that, get up and start moving forward.
You should be able to reach a small platform very soon. Turn right and start moving towards a lower floor (#1). The game will display your first objective here.
