- Fight the law enforcement
- Leave the train station
Optional objectives:
- Cause a train wreck
- Kill the weapon traders
Main objective: Cleanse the train station
The fourth mission starts with your character inside the SWAR armored vehicle you stole during the previous mission. On one hand the truck is quite interesting, because of the HMG installed on the roof of it - that gun will easily kill even a soldier with a single bullet (and a few of them will blow all types of vehicles, including other armored trucks). On the other hand, the vehicle has some annoying and dangerous flaws as well. First things first, the necessity to jump from the driver to the gunner seat - you can either drive, or shoot, which leads to some silly situations, in which you get to the driver seat, drive a few inches closer to your target, and jump back to the gunner seat in hope that this time you will reach your target, and that the enemy will not reach you. The second, a lot more dangerous flaw is quite a low durability of the truck itself - a couple of policemen with shotguns won't do much, but starting from this mission you will have to deal with the military, whose equipment will make a short work of your armored vehicle in a matter of seconds.
You can decide to either travel around the whole level behind the wheel of the truck, or on foot - the choice is yours. Yet again, during this mission you will have to exterminate a certain amount of people. It's worth to hold onto that, because after you've done that, the train station will be, literally, flooded with dozens of policemen and soldiers. It's a good idea to prepare for that beforehand, by completing optional objectives, unlocking respawn points and collecting equipment (armor and a new weapon - more on that will be mentioned later).
Optional Objectives: Cause a train wreck
First things first, head along the tracks towards the railway service station (marked by an icon on the radar), where the first, trivial optional objective awaits you - "Cause a train wreck". All you have to do is to go upstairs and activate the control panel. After a few seconds an explosion will occur in front of the building (remember to stay upstairs before it happens, as it's relatively safe here, whereas downstairs you might get seriously injured). Afterwards you will be given the respawn point, and the counter on the amount of people you need to kill will be decreased by 50.
Optional Objective: Kll the weapon traders
Go downstairs and head North-East, to the next optional objective marked with the pistol icon on the radar. After getting closer to the spot, you will be given an objective "Kill the weapon traders". It's one of the hardest, at least in theory, optional objectives in the game, as most of the targets inside the building are armed, meaning that a tactic involving you running inside through the main entrance will end one way - you getting killed. Wait for a couple of seconds until a car rams inside the building, and throw a grenade at it - after a few seconds a series of explosions will occur, and most of enemies inside will be either killed, or set ablaze. You just have to finish off the remaining enemies to unlock another respawn point.
It's a perfect spot to fill up your ammo, because there's a lot of different guns scattered around here. Besides Bulletproof Vests and Pistols, you will find two new "toys" here: an Uzi and a Flamethrower. The first one is, basically, an upgraded version of the pistol, as it uses the same type of ammo (don't ever think about using both of those weapons simultaneously, as you will run out of ammo extremely fast), firing a lot faster, and having a larger clip size. However, swapping the pistol for uzi is quite unnecessary, as the former works incredibly good during the whole game. Flamethrower is extremely effective on a very short range - all you need to do is to "expose" the target to a little bit of the blazing fuel and it won't bother you again. It doesn't work on longer rangers because of it's short reach - if you want to use it, try to do so while being hidden behind a cover, so that enemies have to get close to you.
Main objective: Fight the law enforcement
Collect the body armor, all the ammo you can carry, heal your wounds on civilians via executions and head North-West, to the building resembling a railway station. Kill the remaining people to activate the "Fight the law enforcement" objective and head to the northern entrance to the station. It's quite crucial, as it's the only way leading inside the terrain the whole map takes place on and all the enemies coming for you will have to go through that entrance - it will allow you to eliminate as many enemies as possible before they spread out around the map and start flanking you.
Use the advantage your position gives you (remember, that having the character at the bottom of the screen and aiming top you will have the longest reach out of any positions) and try to kill as many of them as possible before they are able to flood the building. At the beginning the enemies will consists of regular policemen, equipped with pistols and shotguns, and after the counter goes below 40 SWAT officers will replace them.
The real encounter begins when the counter goes down to 25-30 law enforcers - soldiers, equipped with Assault Rifles and Grenades will replace the police. If previous enemies managed to take out your armor and a portion of your health, head back to the weapon dealers den, collect armor and heal off civilians, so that you have a higher chance of survival.
Main Objective: Leave the train station
After killing the remaining law enforcers, you will be given a new objective to leave the train station (you need to head to the marked place). But there's a problem - as it was mentioned, there's only one exit from the train station (Northern exit, from the enemies flooded the place), and a truck with a HMG mounted on top of it is parked right in front of it. To get through it, stick to the wall on the right side of the railway station and hide behind the wall when the enemy starts shooting at you. Wait for a couple of second until he runs out of ammo (and starts reloading) and run out of your cover and throw a grenade (or two, if one is not enough) to blow up the truck. All you have to do now is to head towards the marker on your radar to finish the mission.
