Chapter 4 - Take Down The Rigs - p. 1 Sniper Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In this mission you'll cooperate with two commandos. Your 3-man squad sails towards the first oil rig (#1). You're armed with assault rifle M4 - this scenario is an open fight with the enemy.

After arriving at the rig and abandoning your Zodiac you should follow your two comrades to the elevator painted red, which will transport you to the upper level (#2). Inside the elevator prepare yourself for the fight by turning yourself towards the exit from the elevator.

Along with your companions treat with bullets the enemies hanging around the elevator (#3), then move to the left, to the doors of some yellow painted quarter-deck.

Once the area is cleared you should stand in this blue circle near the doors. Before you do this you can grab a medkit from the wall cupboard hanging near these doors (#4).

When you're on position in this blue circle the game will take over the control of your character for a while and break open the locked doors. Then you have a control over your character again, time slows down for few seconds and you have to kill a pair of bad guys hiding inside the quarter-deck (#5). Inside this quarter-deck you'll find an automatic shotgun (great weapon for close combat on this oil rig!) with some ammo and... something more :-). Exit the quarter-deck through the doors on the right.

Turn left while exiting and help your comrades to finish off several more thugs hiding behind some pipes or something similar lying horizontally in the centre of the screen, behind this yellow painted rail (#6). Watch out for the mug in the depth of this location and to the left. Don't forget about quick saving your game status (it's a good idea to do this after killing every opponent on this level) and controlling your character's health bar by using the med kits from time to time.

Return to the quarter-deck and exit it through other doors - the path is marked on your screen with white dots and there's no minimap in this mission (#7).

Follow your companions running in the direction of these white dots (#8) - it's rather hard to stray here. And this is very good tactic to follow your comrades in this scenario. Let them back themselves into a corner - I mean: the enemy ambushes - and you'll have to heal yourself less often. This level is also fairly dingy and badly lit so it is also worth to increase gamma/brightness level in video settings. This last tip applies generally to the whole game and all these gamers who have problems with spotting the enemies in Sniper's universe.

Before you exit the next quarter-deck it's worth to eliminate the enemies hiding outside by shooting at them through the windows (#9). All the time keep a lookout for wall cupboards with medkits and ammo boxes often lying on some tables, for example.

[10]

Run towards the stairs painted yellow leading to the upper level (#10). While running you'll see the second oil rig you'll have to pay a visit on it too later.
