Chapter 3 - Dangerous Grounds - p. 1 Sniper Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You start this mission on the peripheries of some fishing village, near one of the huts - you can see a bad guy walking there and back on its veranda. Don't attack him yet. You have to sneak to the lighthouse. Go crouch or even better - go prone, and crawl under these stilts this hut is built on (#1). I'd suggest going to your right, to the water, when you're under these piles.

When crawling or paddling in the squatting position in the water, carefully sneak to a sandy road (#2). Don't let the enemies to detect you, because this ends the mission! You should see one or two soldiers patrolling this road - you can quickly kill them with your silenced pistol, but be careful and don't let the enemies in the village located to the left see their dead bodies! Then you should go to the right and listen to the radio message from the HQ, which is informing you that an enemy convoy is expected to pass.

But if you don't like to leave behind your back the alive enemies, you can try to eliminate all of them in the village. However, remain silent all the time. In this case, instead of going to the right, turn to your left in the direction of the lighthouse which you should see in the distance and take out 1-2 soldiers of the junta patrolling the road near some Humvee. This time I'd recommend using your silenced sniper rifle (#3). Afterward crouch and go to their corpses, stay on the right roadside of this sandy road.

It can be hard to take out multiple enemies in the village and to avoid detection simultaneously, while you're shooting from a position near a Humvee (even if you're lying on the ground). So instead of doing this, I'd propose to go further more to the right, towards the ocean. Go crouch, paddle in the water again and sneak to the rock to the right from huts (#4).

When you're behind this rock stand up for a while, quickly take one individual using your sniper rifle, squat again to let the stealth indicator return to its default state, and repeat the whole procedure killing in this way all the enemies one by one (#5). At the end of this action you can carefully sneak under the stilts of the closest hut (or even climb higher by a jetty leading from the ocean to the interior of this hut). Quick save your game before you do this. Hunt for the last nincompoops in this fishing village and search the huts if you wish.

Then return to the correct route marked on your screen with a white dot. When you're closing along this sandy road to the nearest, wooden hut located to the right from the path (you can see a radio tower behind this shack), starts a cut-scene.

On this cutscene your character silently kills (using the knife) an individual standing under the mentioned above hut (#7).

In the latter part of this cut-scene you'll see the enemy convoy passing the checkpoint located nearby (#8).

After watching the cutscene move ahead - your task is still to sneak to the lighthouse. Admittedly, you should avoid contact with the enemies, but it doesn't mean that you can't shoot dead some of them, if they're close and incidentally get in your sight. Waylay in the shrubberies growing under the piles of the hut built near a sandy road, and lie in wait for the enemy on foot patrol, which is entering your field of fire (#9). Quickly shoot dead all of these soldiers, change your clip and wait there for the next patrol. These bad guys who are coming closer are so stupid and blind, that they shouldn't even see the dead bodies of their comrades lying on the ground - when they're close enough, quickly kill'em too.

Then you can scramble up the hut's veranda and take out from there two more muggers standing near a vehicle (Hummer) you can see in the distance. Use your sniper rifle (#10).
