Find way down
Follow your team members, jumping into a large hole found after few moments (SPACEBAR). You'll receive first objective of this mission after reaching the balcony shown on the above screen and you have to turn right then. It is worth noting that you do not have to be afraid of falling down accidently, because you're "defended" by invisible walls.
Walk over successive balconies, reaching place where you can rappel down to the rooftop of the opposite building. Wait until your team reaches the rooftop and use the nearby stairs. Along your way you should find M4A1 carbine and if for some reason you do not have better weapon, you should pick it up, especially that you'll also get full ammo for it.
Move carefully to the stairs and notice that there are two guards standing on the mezzanine level. It would be best to eliminate them without triggering alarm by using a weapon with a silencer or indicating one of them for your team-mates to be killed (MMB). You can continue your march.
Carefully approach larger hall, occupied by large group of enemies. It would be best to eliminate them by surprise, so at least some of them will be killed immediately.
Once the proper fight starts, I suggest running inside the hall and taking cover behind one of the stone walls. Watch out for enemies covering behind covers and bandits who come running from the left side of the stairs (screen above). It would be good to position yourself next to the railing and eliminate enemies standing on the upper floor of the main hall.
After the fight examine enemies' bodies (you could find M249 SAW among other items) and use the ammo and weapons sheds. Now you can choose stairs leading to the lower level. Once you get there, quickly take cover behind the nearby sofa and start attacking enemies visible in the distance. Watch out for your left flank, because some of opponents might try to attack you from that direction.
Keep eliminating enemies but try also to move forwards, remembering about taking cover. Particularly watch out for a group of opponents, who will come running from the side room. By one of the larger covers you can find ammo supply.
Make sure that you've eliminated all bandits and explore the side room shown on above screens. You'll find there Intel Item - (Dossier on Grey Fox). After that join the rest of your team and use the interactive hook to rappel down the line (SPACEBAR).
Eliminate snipers
Snipers are occupying the rooftop of opposite building, but you do not have to worry about them now. Go to the left (you should stay in crouch position) and find the body with sniper rifle (Scout Tactical). Pick it up of course.
Move further to the left and place yourself behind one of the walls. Aim at any hostile sniper (you can recognize them by their laser sights) and eliminate them. Since your rifle has no silencer, the fight starts, so keep shooting. It is worth noting that you do not have to eliminate all snipers yourself, because some of them might be killed by your mates. Regardless of events remember about leaning out from behind your cover only for short moments.
