[Mission 01] Devil's Drop Zone | Walkthrough Just Cause Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Mission objectives: You will have to perform a successful landing on the El Rosario Beach. Once you're there, you will have to help your friend Sheldon. He's going to be attacked by a large group of enemy troops. After that, you will have to reach your first hideout.

Difficulty: easy

Complete walkthrough:

You will start the game in a rather unusual way. You will have to make an air drop (#1). Get used to these types of actions, as they will come in handy in some of the future missions. You can use the movement keys in order to correct the flight. Don't worry. You won't have to make an exact drop on the beach. You can make a landing anywhere you want to. I would recommend that you use the parachute (#2), however this is not necessary. You can hit the water without any problems. It won't kill your character!

You'll probably end up somewhere in the water (#1). You could swim to your destination, however there is a better way. Wait for one of the surrounding boats to get here. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so don't get used to it. ;-) Enter the boat and start moving towards the designated area (#2). Don't worry about the boat itself. You can enter the beach inside it, without having to worry about some kind of explosion.

Exit the boat and get your guns ready (use the mouse wheel). You've probably noticed that the pistols have an unlimited ammo supply, so you can use them without any problems. Start shooting at the visible enemy units (#1). I would recommend that you keep running all the time. Thanks to that, you will avoid being hit. More vehicles will arrive on the beach very shortly (#2). Make sure that none of them hits your character, because that would be equal to an instant death. Keep shooting at your enemies.

Once you've disposed of the militia units, check your surroundings. It would be best to pick up all visible objects. Some of them will be new guns. First aid kits are also very important. Sheldon is waiting for you in his humvee. Go there now (#1). Press the correct key in order to mount a heavy machine gun. As you've probably suspected, you will be eliminating enemy units. This is a very relaxing and not too challenging segment. At first, you'll be shooting at the military jeeps (#2). You can also try and take out single soldiers, however this is not necessary. Make sure that the cross-hair turns red every time you want to destroy something bigger!

You should be able to reach a small roadblock in just a few seconds (#1). You will have to exit the vehicle in order to take it out. There are some new soldiers in this area, however you won't have to kill them. Choose a better gun (revolver or a machine gun) and start shooting at one of the red barrels. As a result, the object will explode (#2). Get back to Sheldon's car. You may proceed to the next section of the map.

You will have to deal with at least two helicopters along the way (#1). Concentrate all of your efforts on destroying them, as they pose a quite serious threat. Just as before, make sure that the cross-hair turns red. Allied units should appear on the map very shortly. Wait for them to destroy all of the remaining enemy vehicles (#2). After that, this mission will come to an end.

Important! Once you've completed this mission, you will find yourself by the first hideout (Agency 01). I should remind you that you can only save your current progress in these kind of places. The only exception are the main missions. The game will offer you to make an additional save at the end of each level. The next mission of the singleplayer campaign is very simple, so you don't have to do anything in particular to get ready for it. I would recommend that you ignore all of the additional challenges and hidden packages for the moment. It's mostly because you will have to unlock some of the new features in the upcoming missions. One of the most important things will involve liberating villages and towns. Once you feel you're ready, head on to the designated spot (a large trailer). I should tell you that in future missions briefing areas won't be located near your hideouts, so this is one of the exceptions. If you want to travel quickly, you can use the Extraction option (PDA). It will allow you to reach a briefing area or one of the unlocked hideouts.

Important! Don't forget to regenerate your health. You mustn't also forget about ammo supplies. Don't worry, all hideouts offer these kind of bonuses.
