Chapter IX - The Road Spec Ops: TL Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Follow Konrad
First, turn around and get back to the room with a corpse, which was shown on the last cut-scene. Look around for the flag hanging here, thus obtaining Intel Item - Konrad Flag.
Now return to the starting place and use one of the interactive hooks to rappel down. After that leave the building, jump down and move forwards. Soon you'll reach the place where Konrad gives you a choice.
You'll be able to act in three ways there. First option is to shoot civilian, arrested for stealing water. In this case snipers placed in the area won't harm you and you'll be able to move one.
Another variant is to shot a soldier captured for murdering innocent family. Also in this case sniper will let you go.
The last option is to shoot Konrad's sniper. To do this, place yourself at the cover shown on the above screen and attack two snipers on the right. After that, eliminate two more soldiers occupying left track. Note - do not try to leave this location without making any of above decisions, because in such case your team will be shot by snipers.
Now you can go on. It is worth to pick up FAMAS gun. Regardless of your tactics in the previous location, after reaching the new area, you'll have to fight Konrad's subordinates.
Defend your position
Start with shooting two soldiers standing on the metal bridge and then quickly move towards covers visible in a distance. I suggest placing yourself behind the left cover, because you can find there grenade crate.
Right after the proper battle begins, I suggest dealing with closest enemies and it is best to throw grenades at them. Generally you shouldn't allow them to get close to the area occupied by your team.
The greatest threat in this battle is soldiers armed with RPGs. First of them stands in front of you at the very beginning of the fight (screen 1) and second one will appear later on the roof of one of the wagons to the left (screen 2). Watch out also for other enemies occupying the left track because they have advantage of the height.
Find shelter
Defend yourself at the start place of the battle until a powerful sandstorm comes. Only now leave the cover and move forwards. I advise not to move too quickly, because you'll encounter new enemies on your way. First group of opponents should attack you after approaching the armored vehicle which drove here earlier.
Slowly move forward, stopping often and looking for enemy units while staying behind the cover. Ignore only a small group of enemies, running on the left dune, because they won't attack you.
After reaching bus wreckage, I suggest jumping inside and attack soldiers stationing in the area from that place. It is worth noting that you do not have to control your ammo, because almost all enemies you defeat here use good weapons.
Your target is a tunnel entrance, shown on the above screen. Get close to it, which will result in automatic end of this chapter.
