Last update: 11 May 2016
Mission objectives: You will have to help the rebels to liberate two of the surrounding villages. Both settlements are located inside the Aguilar province. Once you've liberated the first village, you will receive the location of the second one. Additional rebel units will provide much needed help.
Difficulty: Easy
Complete walkthrough:
Like I've said before, you will have to make a few steps forward in order to start this mission. The first objective will require you to liberate the Los Mirasoles village. There aren't any vehicles in your vicinity, so you may consider putting a request. You will have to use your PDA. At the moment there's only one option - a motorcycle (#1). Once you've got it, start moving towards your destination. There is going to be a rebel there (#2). Leave the bike and talk to him.
The liberating mission will begin here. It would be best to rearm yourself. You shouldn't have any problems finding the crates (#1). It's very important, because you'll need a lot of ammunition and grenades during these fights. You should also know that you will be able to take part in very similar bonus missions in the near future. As a result, it's good to know what exactly has to be done. Start off by shooting at the nearby enemy units (#2). Keep moving forward. Make sure you don't hit any of the friendly soldiers, because they would probably turn against you.
A short cut-scene should appear on your screen in just a few seconds (#1). The game is trying to tell you what has to be done here. You will have to take out these kinds of roadblocks. You don't have any rocket launchers at the moment, so you will have to use grenades (#2). There are three roadblocks for you to destroy during each of the liberating missions. Don't forget about the enemy soldiers. You must be killing them as well. Furthermore, many of them will leave valuable objects (ammunition, grenades, first aid kits) behind!
Once you've destroyed all three roadblocks, you will have to reach a small flag (#1). This object should be marked on your map, so you won't have any problems finding it. Get closer to the flag and press a correct button in order to secure this area. Congratulations! You've liberated the first village (#2)! You will receive a small reward for this - 30 Prestige Points for the Guerrilla organization. Consult the second chapter of this game guide, if you want to know more.
You should receive a second objective in just a few seconds. You will have to liberate a new village - Merecure (#1). It would be best to put a request for a motorcycle. Alternatively, you could steal one of the passing cars (there's a small road nearby). Either way, start moving towards the new destination. Once you're there, head on to the rebel soldier (#2).
You will receive an opportunity to use explosive devices during this liberating mission, however you may as well ignore them. Grenades are just fine. Start a new rebellion. Before you proceed any further, make sure that you take the ammunition. Once again, you will have to destroy three different roadblocks (#1). There are also other objects in this area. One of them is the ammo depot (#2). You may destroy it as well, however you won't receive any reward for that. As a result, it's best to ignore these objects. Concentrate only on your current objectives.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the explosives (#1). Be careful, though. You will only have FIVE seconds to get back to a safe distance. Once you've destroyed all roadblocks, head on to the flag (#2). You shouldn't have any problems reaching it. As a result, you will liberate the second village. Additionally, this mission will come to an end.
Important! The most interesting thing is that you will be rewarded with a new hideout - Guerrilla 01. Sadly, you won't be able to use all of its advantages just yet, mostly because you haven't advanced in the Guerrilla ranks. As a result, I would recommend that you complete some of the side challenges. You should explore this entire island. You won't be able to liberate any new villages at the moment. Thankfully, there are many other things for you to do. Here are my recommendations:
1) collecting packages - this is a very simple task. There are a lot of packages in your vicinity (the first island). I would recommend that you collect all of them. Thanks to that, you should be able to advance in the Guerrilla ranks. You will also score some of the first Prestige Points for the Riojas cartel.
2) completing side missions - at the moment only Guerrilla missions are fully active. These challenges are randomly selected. You should also know that they aren't too difficult. You should be able to complete each mission in about three to five minutes.
Important! You can use different types of vehicles in order to explore the entire area, however I'd personally recommend helicopters and planes. You should be able to find some of them on this island. A plane can be found by the airfield. This area is located on your map, so you really can't miss it. Alternatively, you could go to one of the purple villages (use the map). You can't take full control of these settlements just yet, however this doesn't mean that you can't use the helicopters (Mullen H45 Dragonfly). They are located on roofs of the villas. Before you decide to proceed to the next mission of the campaign, it would be wise to save your current progress. Guerrilla 01 hideout seems like a good idea. You should also take some of the unlocked weapons. You've probably acquired a revolver and a standard machine gun.
