Act 2 / Mission 3 - part 5 | Act 2 Ghost Recon AW2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You will have to get closer to the church building (#1) if you want to advance with this mission objective. Once you're there, listen to a short radio transmission. One of the allied gunship is going to be shot down by rebel forces (#2). As a result, you will have to defend yourself while waiting for a new extraction vehicle.

This is going to be the most difficult fight of this entire mission. Before we'll go into details, there are a few important things you should know about:

1) You MUST order your men to hide behind small brick walls. Otherwise they would have died almost instantly. Make sure that your teammates aren't standing too close to each other.

2) Perform quicksaves each time you manage to kill a larger team of enemy soldiers. You will have to defeat 3-4 waves of rebel units. Sadly, you won't be allowed to save your progress during these fights or if the area is not safe.

3) Focus most of your efforts on eliminating enemy snipers. Additionally, some of the enemy units may actually advance towards your position. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about enemy units trying to flank you.

4) It would be wise to use the grenade launcher during the final stages of this battle. Try aiming at larger groups of enemy units.

Now we can focus on the details. Once you've received an information about the incoming attack, you will have to order your men to hide behind some of the nearby brick walls (#1). The sniper should be standing to the left while the rest of the team may occupy the walls to the right (#2).

You should be standing near your rifleman units (#1). Make sure that you're crouching behind one of the brick walls, however you can't be too close to the wall, because you wouldn't be allowed to use your rifle. The first group will probably use a helicopter (#2). You could consider shooting at them, however don't waste too much ammunition.

The first phase of each battle will require you to locate and eliminate enemy snipers (#1; #2). They will appear on the rooftops of the nearby buildings. Most of these objects will be located in front of you. Don't worry if the enemy forces will use smoke grenades, because you'll still see red icons.

Once you've taken out each sniper, you will have a few seconds to deal with the remaining enemy soldiers (#1). Try aiming at larger groups. You should also be using your tactical map in order to know exactly where they are currently standing (#2).

Keep shooting at the enemy snipers (#1), because they'll be your main concern. The snipers are going to be the only ones to threaten your safety. You will also be able to listen to short radio transmissions. Also, don't forget that you will be allowed to save your progress, however only if you aren't attacking anyone. You will have to defend this area for about two minutes. Once this is done, you will receive a proper confirmation (#2). Get ready, because we'll going to leave this map very soon.

You will have to use a pick-up truck, instead of a gunship, to evacuate from the area. The vehicle will approach the square from the right (#1). IGNORE enemy icons. Order your men to follow you and start RUNNING towards the central section of the square (#2). You shouldn't perform any unnecessary stops.

Once you've reached your destination, head on towards the passenger's seat area (#1). You won't have to worry about your men, because they will take their seats automatically. Enter the vehicle (#2) and wait for the rest of the team to do the same thing. This mission is going to end in a short while.
