[Mission 01][Part: 3/3] South Africa | Walkthrough Rainbow Six Lockdown Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Just as before, I would recommend leaving the rest of the squad behind... at least for 15-20 seconds. Find a shooting spot near the left wall. First of all, you should take care of a single guy that's been standing near one of the destroyed cars (#1). Step up a little bit closer. A larger group of enemy soldiers is located on your left (#2). You might want to use the destroyed car for better cover, however this is not necessary.
Before entering the large building you might want to check out the glowing icon. You will presented with some useful hints concerning some of the available actions (leaning out). I would recommend throwing a frag grenade inside (#1). That way, you will take out most of the terrorists without any problems. Enter the building with the rest of the squad. Head on to the second room. I would recommend leaving the rest of the group right here. Head on to the nearest exit. Start off by killing a single terrorist. He will be hiding by the big limousine (#2). You shouldn't have any problems with him.
I have to warn you at this point. Some of the upcoming fights will be quite challenging. First of all, take out a single sniper that's been hiding on the roof of the bank building (#1). He's equipped with a rocket launcher, so you have to do it VERY quickly. Start pushing forward (#2). You may use some help from the rest of the team. Start shooting at the visible terrorists. Remember to use parked cars for much needed cover.
Make sure you've killed all hostiles. Now head on to the bank entrance (#1). There are some new enemies over here (#2). They will be standing near the desk. You might want to consider throwing some of the carried grenades at them. Alternatively, you could try aiming at their heads. Enter the bank with the rest of the squad.
Head on to the main room of the occupied bank. First of all, you will have to deal with a guy standing on a nearby balcony (#1). Once he's down, leave the rest of the squad behind and start running towards the opposite exit. Turn right. If you're lucky, you should be able to surprise a single terrorist (#2). He will be crouching by one of the counters. You may order the team to follow your movements. There'a a small passageway nearby. Use the stairs to get to the upper floor.
Leave the squad over here. Enter the room located on your left. Find a good cover and start shooting at the visible enemy soldiers (#1). You should be able to score at least 2-3 decent headshots. BEFORE you move any further, make sure you've killed all of the nearby terrorists. Head on to the left corridor. Use the stairs to go back to the ground floor (#2).
You will probably have to deal with one more opponent along the way... that is, if you've missed him before. DON'T go to the vault just yet!! There's a terminal on the left pillar. You will have to use it (#1) in order to disable the security system of the bank (to be exact - a nearby metal detector). Now you may proceed to the vault area. There are some terrorists over here, guarding the entrance (#2). You will have to deal with this problem. Enter the main vault.
The hostages are being guarded by one of the terrorists (#1). You will HAVE TO deal with him swiftly, so he won't have an opportunity to hurt any of them. Step up to the glowing icon. You will find out more about hostage situations. Now you will have to escort rescued civilians to the bank entrance. A short cut-scene will appear shortly (#2). It looks like some new terrorists have entered the bank. I don't have to remind you that you must protect the hostages from being killed. It would be best to let them stay with the rest of the squad. You shouldn't have any problems with killing terrorists on your own...
Leave the vault area. I would recommend zooming in the view, so you will be able to kill nearby enemy soldiers (#1). Start moving towards their positions. You will encounter at least 2-3 new terrorists along the way. Many of them will be hiding in the dark, so you must be very careful. Head on to the bank entrance (#2). Be sure to leave the hostages and the rest of the squad over here!! Don't let them get too close to the exit.
Lean out CAREFULLY and start shooting at the new terrorists that have appeared in the bank area (#1). Most of them will be hiding near parked cars. Exit the building, BUT don't run to the extraction zone just yet. TURN AROUND and start shooting at the visible enemy snipers (#2). There will be at least two of them. In both cases, try aiming at their heads.
The rest of the team (including the hostages) may rejoin with you now. Head on to the designated area. Wait for the hostages to arrive! A helicopter should appear shortly (#1). After that, the mission will come to an end.
