Last update: 11 May 2016
At the very beginning of the mission you'll be forced to eliminate few bandits in which help you very short tutorial. Start from pressing the analog stick for slow motion, then aim at the bandit in front of you (head is the beast). After that fire once or few times (right trigger).
The second part of the tutorial is making a jump in the slow motion. To do so, lean the left analog stick up and push the RB button. During the flight turn left and try to eliminate two enemies running out of the apartment. If you miss, you'll have to get rid of them after touching the ground and off the slow motion.
Remark! If you play this mission again, the tutorial is skipped and you fight with all three enemies at once.
Now, move closer to the entrance to the apartment. You can behave in two ways. First one is "sticking" to the wall by the entrance and using it as a cover (X button). Second variant is rushing into the room with the slow motion jump (button RB). Regardless of the choice, remember that there are two person to eliminate: one at the front of the entrance, and the other on the left side.
After eliminating all bandits consider picking up the second pistol (menu of the weapon choice is call with LB button) and go back to the place where you get rid of the first group of enemies. Turn left and go to the end of the corridor. Check the floor nearby the window. You will find first part of the weapon [Golden Gun - Pistol PT92 1/3].
Return to the apartment and spare few minutes to check it. You can interact with the piano, what is optional. Find the table on which painkillers and the first clue [Clue 1/2 - magazine] lie. At the end head to the doors leading to the balcony.
Remark! Make sure that you collect all items before leaving the apartment, because return won't be possible.
Just after Max started slipping, aim carefully at the head of the bandit standing on the bottom. Be careful, because you can't hurt the hostage. One clean shot should be enough.
After getting on the new roof, turn left and eliminate the first enemy. Now it is recommended to listen the game's advice and hide behind one of the big pillars (X button). Three remaining bandits you can kill like you want, but in case shooting behind the cover, don't let any thug reach Max (but if so you can eliminate him in a scuffle).
Make sure you finish off all enemies and then look around. Firstly, move back nearby the place when you start and check and corner shown on the screen - you find new part of the weapon [Golden Gun - Pistol PT92 2/3]. Also, pick up an ammo and consider taking with you a M500 Shotgun.
Go to the second end of the corridor and be prepare to do in another single bandit who suddenly opens the door. Also here small tutorial waits for you: this time about camera work showing the kill in a slow motion. Press the right trigger, optionally hold A button and press the right trigger again and again. After the encounter search the corps and consider picking up the Ruger Mini-30.
