Chapter XII - Rooftops - p. 2 Spec Ops: TL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Get to the Helo

Now you have to return to the previously secured rooftop, but of course your task will be disturbed by new opponents. Follow Adams to the lower floor of the radio tower. Place yourself behind the closest cover and deal with small group of Zulu squad. After the fight, pick up ammo. You should also consider picking up P90 rifle, so during next fights you won't have to worry about ammo.

Use the stairs. After getting to the ground floor do not head right away to the exit but stop at the stairs. Wait until enemies blow up the door and after that start shooting them, not letting anyone to get close to you.

Clear the roof again and then head to the left stairs shown on the above screen. Along your way there you should stop from time to time to eliminate enemies appearing in a distance. Remember also that you can ask Lugo for support, indicating targets for him (MMB).

After getting to the upper balcony start slowly moving towards the helicopter landing site visible in a distance. Regularly use local covers and do not let enemies get close to you. In crisis situations you can eliminate enemies in melee fight.

Be careful, because in later phase of the fight you might be attacked by mad knife man and as you probably remember you should kill him before he gets close to you. After confirmation from Lugo, sprint towards the helicopter, ignoring single enemies, who can still stay in the area. Once you get to the helicopter, you'll watch a new cut-scene. You'll also get new objective.

Cover Lugo's Escape

Lugo will appear on the building's rooftop and your task is to cover him using the minigun. I recommend long bursts because you do not have to worry about ammo nor overheating of the gun. First, deal with enemies who appear near the landing site. Notice that you can destroy fuel tanks but you should do this only when there is a larger group of enemies near them.

Another place which you have to shoot at, is a left balcony shown on the above screen. First kill enemies with RPGs and remember that you can partially destroy the balcony so your enemies can't take cover.

Another group of enemies will appear behind Lugo. Try to eliminate these opponents before they get close to your ally. Attack enemies while Lugo runs to the helicopter and gets inside.

Bring it Down

There are two more battles fought from the helicopter. In the first one you have to destroy the radio tower. Start with shooting at enemies who will appear on the landing site and then kill those occupying upper part of the rooftop (screen above).

Wait until helicopter gets near the pool and focus on destroying machine gun site near loudspeakers and a large display (screen above).

After the helicopter flies to the new position, attack two more machine gun sites (screens 1 and 2)).

Finally deal with enemies inside the radio tower. Try to secure all floors, shooting at opponents. After few moments the radio tower should collapse.

Take out those Choppers

At the end of this chapter, you'll repeat the game prologue, but this scene will be more detailed that one seen in prologue. Start attacking helicopters, shooting them until they get destroyed.

Additionally watch out for two Sidewinder rockets shot at your machine. Once you get warning, turn your minigun towards the rocket indicated by a game (red crosshair) and destroy it before it hits your helicopter.

Same as in prologue, the helicopter flight will get to the end when you approach the sandstorm. You'll collide with another helicopter.
