Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex | 11: Dexter Industries Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General objectives of the stage: Factory Compound is the last stage of eleventh game mission. It is also by far longest stage and with the highest level of freedom. Your objective is getting inside the factory compound, but first you will have to safely get closer to main complex of Dexter Industries.
Go up the stairs and head towards the mines' exit. You'll encounter an enemy there and you can act in two main ways: let him go away and focus only on getting to the compound or eliminate him. In the latter case I recommend attacking him when he stops by the tree or he gets close to the container where you can hide his body.
Near the mines' exit you can find very valuable weapon - Kazo TRG sniper rifle (screen above). I recommend collecting this weapon, unless you do not plan to eliminate local enemies silently.
If you've picked up the sniper rifle, it is worth to place yourself at the observation point shown on the above screen. It is a good idea to eliminate all enemies stationing on the nearby bridge, but wait until enemies split up. Look for targets standing at the edge, so you'll automatically get rid of their bodies. Elimination of more distant targets is up to you - you can take out a guard patrolling factory rooftop among others.
Regardless of how you were acting, you have to go towards the bridge leading to the factory compound. If the area is clear, you can keep moving. Otherwise you have to start avoiding enemies here.
Depending on your preferences you can try to use covers together with Instinct or approach one of edges and drop down. In the latter case it is very important to know, that you are not safe because if the guard stops above you, he will spot you even on lower difficulty levels. So you have to move slowly in that position, waiting until guards turn around and walk away from their posts.
After reaching the other side of the bridge, make sure that the guard who may appear here won't spot you. I recommend staying longer at this place and planning your further actions.
