Chapter XII - Rooftops - p. 1 Spec Ops: TL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Get to the Radio Tower

Move forwards, ignoring hostile helicopter which appears in the area. Stop at the damaged balcony and press SPACEBAR to jump down to the lower level. Follow your team, performing two more jumps down to lower ledges. Soon you'll approach enemy forces and the game will allow you to decide whether you want to start battle right away or quietly eliminate few guards first.

I recommend of course quietly killing local guards, starting with sniper standing at the edge on the left side (screen above). If you have any weapon with silencer, you can kill him by yourself. Otherwise order one of your subordinates to kill him.

There are two more opponents in the next room. They can also be eliminated quietly because they can't see you. After successful action look around for weapons and ammo and grenade crates.

At the end of "stealth part" quietly eliminate a guard patrolling adjacent corridor. After you kill him, carefully approach a new area. Use good covers along with your team and attack by surprise local enemies, using previously picked grenades if needed.

After elimination of closest enemies, move to other part of this room. Watch out for enemies who will jump in through the roof. Secure also your flanks, not letting enemies to attack you by surprise.

After the fight look around and listen to warning about hostile snipers in the area. Pick up (or select from inventory) sniper rifle (Scout Tactical) and take cover near the building's exit. Places where hostile snipers hide are shown on the above screen. These are:

• Single sniper on the left
• Two snipers on the balcony straight away
• Single sniper on the rooftop of the opposite building

Make sure that you've eliminated all snipers and look around for two ammo crates. After that stand on the place shown on the above screen and zip the line.

During landing Walker will collide with enemy soldier. Ignore another hallucination because if you too slow, main hero will be dead. Instead, immediately kill knocked down enemy by pressing left SHIFT.

Explore area to the right from the stairs leading to the upper balcony. At the place shown on the above screen you'll find Intel Item - Radioman Tape - Konrad Interview. Only after that, use the stairs. Go through the building, jump down to the glass balcony and turn left. Soon you'll get another objective.

Clear the Roof

Since the game will allow you now to attack enemies on the opposite rooftop by surprise, you should prepare good. First of all I suggest picking up (or selecting from the inventory) sniper rifle (Scout Tactical). In addition you should choose wisely a place to perform attack from. In this case I suggest placing yourself behind crates on the left shown on the above screen. You'll have worse view on the battlefield, but enemies won't be able to destroy your cover unlike concrete walls on the balcony.

Start attacking enemy forces, noticing that some of them are indicated in red. By the way, I suggest using zoom x8 (instead x16), so you will be able easily control battlefield situation, especially with moving targets.

During fights particularly watch out for two threats. First of them is machine gun post on the right balcony, which is best to burry under sand by shooting at glass surfaces to the right from it (screen above).

Another threat is enemies with RPGs. They appear mainly on the upper balcony in front of you and for obvious reasons they must be killed as soon as possible. Keep attacking enemies until you get rid of all of them.

Locate the Radioman

Use near ammo crates to replenish your supplies and then zip down the line to the just now secured building. Do not worry about single soldier, who will appear in front of you because your allies will eliminate him. After landing move towards radio tower entrance located in front of you.

Enter the building and go up the stairs. After reaching bigger room look around for the bathroom shown on the above screen. Get inside finding another Intel Item - Radioman's Press Badge.

You can now go up the stairs to the upper level. Approach a journalist visible in a distance, thus leading to display longer cut-scene.
