Find about the plans of the Red Line troops | Chapter 25: Depot

Position yourself near the edge of the car rooftop and wait for the enemies to disperse. From now on, you will have to watch your back at all times, as you are dealing now with well-trained, better equipped sort of enemy. I definitely recommend that you adopt stealthy approach to the battle here (further description assumes that this is the strategy you have adopted).

Your task now is to reach the side entrance shown in the above screenshot, which is located at the far end of the location and more precisely, to the left of the elevation occupied by two guards, near the generator (I recommend that you smash the lamp attached to it).

Jump down from the car and start moving, carefully, towards the entrance mentioned above. If you are planning on the elimination of enemy soldiers, you should watch out for the ones equipped with torches. Also remember to attack only the ones staying in the dark. It is also necessary that you search the enemies you take out because, apart from the standard supplies, they also drop filters.

The good news is that you do not really have to bother about the two snipers here because they will not be alerted to your presence as long as you stay in the shadows. Depending on which you prefer, you can either secure the entire area (remember about the enemy patrolling the narrow underground tunnels), or go towards the exit straight away. Cross the empty room, find a filter on your way and reach the stairs. Put on your gas mask in here.

After you have climbed the stairs, turn your attention to the collectible behind the gate that the Dark One is crouching at. Wait for the ally to open it for you, after which you will be able to open it.

Right after you enter the new area, turn left and go to the toilet. The reason to do that is not only to avoid the enemies staying in the well-lit corridor, but also to reach the nearby collectible. Find the hole in the left wall, shown in screenshot 1, and crouch to squeeze across. You can now approach the gate and collect the Artyom's diary page from the ground (screenshot 2).

Remain where you have found the item, because two enemies will enter the toilet in a moment. What is even more, one of them will light the narrow passage that you took to get to the diary. Patiently, wait for the guards to turn away. Return to the toilet, then, and get each one from behind to knock them out or kill them.

I recommend that you take the passage shown in the above screenshot, i.e. the one that is parallel to the main corridor, which is definitely too well-lit to ensure safe passage. Carefully, approach the sole guard and dispose of him. Continue your walk along the narrow corridors and eliminate one more guard on your way (make sure, here, that this one is turned away from you, because he is using a torch).

You can now position yourself in the spot shown in the above screenshot. Wait for the guards here to disperse and get rid of them quickly. You can now leave this location (the guard patrolling the area near the starting point can be ignored).

Go towards the staircase and climb down the stairs. After you reach the location where you meet the Dark One again, do not take the main corridor because this one leads to a door with a multitude of enemy soldiers (you would have no way of defending yourself). Instead, locate the sewer entrance (the above screenshot), and that is how you get to the main hall, while finding another filter on your way.

Depending on your preference, you can start be either disposing of several guards staying nearby, facing the main door (which you have ignored, in accordance with my suggestions), or by squeezing past them. Wait for the guards gathered at the next entrance to the sewers (to the left of the starting point) disperse.

Your current objective is to reach the exit shown in the above screenshot, which is located at the other side of the fence. You can reach it in several ways.

Variant one assumes that you take the sewers to get there. You would have to jump into the manhole mentioned above and dispose of a solitary guard while going along the tunnels. Variant two assumes that you get past the guards. In this case, you would first have to come close to the fence between you and your destination, turn right and walk by keeping close to the left wall.

Regardless of how you have decided to act, make your way into the small room patrolled by a single guard (shown in the above screenshot). Wait for the guard to turn away from you and approach him quickly to knock him out or kill him (remember to run through the supply crate too)

After you have explored this room, turn right. Jump down onto the next enemy, who should be looking the other way. Go towards the exit and eliminate (or walk around) the last guard from the group. Walk along until you reach the blue-colored door that leads to the last location in this level.

The enemies in this storage area are even more focused on Artyom's arrival. Because they are so much herded together (and often staying in lit areas), it is highly recommendable that you walk through this area without eliminating most of them and without alarming them to your presence. Move ahead, and crouch in the location shown in the above screenshot so you can dash from one cover to the next one to avoid being noticed.

After you pass the area monitored by the guards, turn left and enter the closest railway car. The car is being patrolled by a single guard that would be best dead. Take all precautions while doing it, as the guard is equipped with a torch.

Exit the car carefully, and do not attack the guards because many of them are staying in lit areas, and this could cause alert being called. Instead, turn left and locate the stairs shown in the above screenshot, to the catwalks above.

Once you get onto the catwalks, go to the right and sneak behind the back of a sniper (also this one you'd better leave alone).

Having passed over the catwalks, you should end up in the area shown in the above screenshot, where there is an opening in the side of a railway car. Jump inside and then, jump down into a small tunnel, which should allow you to walk around the nearby Reds.

If you have done everything in accordance with my suggestions, after you leave the tunnel, you should be behind enemy lines. Quickly, take the stairs to the right to reach a room above. Find a filter and open the blue door.

You are, now, up for a meeting with Lesnitsky. After watching all of the cutscenes, you will have to decide whether you want to kill Lesnitsky, or just to knock him out. If you are going to beat the campaign with the "Shadow Ranger" achievement and/or unlock the positive ending, you should definitely go for the latter.
