Last update: 11 May 2016
Mission objectives: You will have to help one of the rebel soldiers in a planned arms deal. Your goal will be to protect your female ally and ensure that everything goes smoothly. If any unforeseen circumstances occur (count on that!! ;-)) you will have to get the money back, track down arms dealers and kill all hostile units.
Difficulty: easy
Complete walkthrough:
Thankfully, this mission is much easier than the one you've just finished. Start off by heading to the same beach as before. Enter the trailer in order to activate the briefing. Once you've regained full control over your character, head on to a small helicopter (#1). You won't have any problems finding it. Get the machine in the air. You will have to reach a new target (#2). Check the map to know exactly where you are going.
You will have to reach small crossroads. Once you're there, try landing safely. You won't need the helicopter anymore. Go ahead and talk to Esperanza (#1). You will have to assist her in an arms deal. Head on to the nearby truck (#2). Enter it and start moving towards your new destination point.
I would recommend that you avoid hitting objects along the way. Thanks to that, you won't be disturbed by anything during the second part of this mission. There's only one small road here, so you can't get lost (#1). Once you've reached your target, a new cut-scene should appear on the screen (#2).
Sadly, it turns out that all of this was a trap (#1). Arms dealers not only took the money, but they also want to kill you. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about Esperanza anymore. She can handle the situation on her own. You, on the other hand, will be granted with a new task. You have to hunt down and kill Sanchez (one of the arms dealers). Use a nearby truck (#2).
Get ready for a new chase scene. Sanchez is moving quite fast, so you can't make any major mistakes along the way. You will also have to watch out for other members of his gang. It would be wise to choose several shortcuts along the way (#1). Make sure you approach them correctly, so you won't hit anything. Try getting closer to the designated vehicle (#2).
It would be best to wait for Sanchez to make some kind of mistake (#1). There's a lot of civilians cars here, so he'll probably crash into something very soon. Once he's done that, get closer to his car and perform a successful stunt (#2). Thankfully, you won't have to worry about soldiers who are helping him at the moment. They won't pose too much of a threat.
There's only one more thing for you to do here - you must kill Sanchez (#1). Just as before, one successful hit should be enough. Once he's gone, a new cut-scene will appear on the screen. This is it for this mission.
Important! There will be a lot of new opportunities waiting for you this time. One of the most important things will involve this new island. As you've probably noticed by now, it's very large, so I'd strongly recommend using helicopters or planes all the time. Rioja 04 hideout is one of the best hideouts in the entire area, mostly because you'll find a gunship here. Furthermore, there are a lot of packages in the mountains. You'll only be able to get them by using the helicopter. It would be best if you had collected all of them. There are also a lot of villas in the area. Riojas would be very greatful if you had helped them in these fights. You should be able to earn a lot or Prestige Points by doing that. You'll also unlock a lot of new hideouts, weapons and vehicles.
Important! Liberating all kinds of settlements is going to be much more difficult from now on. The most important thing is that you'll have to watch out for enemy gunships. They will take part in most of these fights. Thankfully, pilots won't use any rockets. The only exception are the vehicles, so it would be best to avoid them at all costs. Try and take full control of the new province. You should also collect all of the surrounding packages. Some of them may be hidden in the water, so make sure you're using a fast boat to get them.
