[Mission 15][Part: 1/3] Mercenary Base | Walkthrough Rainbow Six Lockdown Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Threats: This mission isn't too complicated, especially when you compare it to the previous assignments. You won't have to worry about any hostages. There aren't any bombs in the area. This mission will only require you to deal with heavily equipped opponents. They will also be armed with heavy weaponry (machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers...).
Objectives: You will have to neutralize all of the security systems, protecting Vandervaal's base. You must also capture this terrorist alive. He mustn't escape in his private helicopter. Thankfully, this will be an easy task, so you shouldn't worry about it too much.
I would recommend taking a scope for this mission. There are a lot of open spaces. Some of the enemies will be visible in a distance, so you will have to be very precise. Start moving forward. One of the first terrorists will be located on your right (#1). Use the scope in order to eliminate him from a safe distance. Keep moving forward. You've probably expected more terrorists to show up. Well... they won't. :-) The next group of enemy soldiers will be located in a small room. Additionally, you will have to take out a single sniper, hiding by the crates on your right (#2). Head on to this corridor with the rest of the squad.
You should be able to reach a ladder in a few seconds. Use it in order to get down to the lower level (#1). Once you're there, you will have to wait for the rest of the team to show up. Open a nearby door CAREFULLY. Start killing visible enemy soldiers (#2). You will have to shoot through the glass in order to take out some of them.
If you want to reach your destination faster, you must stick close to the right wall. It would also be wise to look at the map from time to time. You will have to reach the biggest, northern warehouse area. Watch out for the additional terrorists. They will be located on your right (#1). You must shoot through the glass in order to get rid of them. I would recommend leaving the rest of the squad behind. There's a security camera nearby. You will have to neutralize it (#2). Once this is done, rejoin with the whole team.
There's a door located beneath the camera. Open it CAREFULLY. The next room is being occupied by a LARGE group of enemy soldiers (#1). You will have to start taking them out. You shouldn't have any problems with the group located ahead of you. Once these terrorists are gone, turn left. There are some snipers on a nearby balcony (#2). You will have to kill them quickly, so they won't be able to fight back.
Make sure that the area is clear. Leave the rest of your squad behind. Head on to the left corridor. There's a second security camera over here (#1). Just as before, you will have to take care of this problem. Just make sure you're not being noticed. After that, head on to the nearby stairs (#2). The rest of the team may join you now.
Head on to the left room. It's located above one of the entrances. You shouldn't have any problems locating it (#1). Step up to the desk. Press the use key in order to hack into the security system of the complex (#2). Bear in mind that this will NOT shut down all of the surrounding cameras. You must still avoid being seen. Thankfully, there aren't many of these objects left.
Now you will have to go back to the main entrance, the same one that was leading to this part of the complex. Before you do that, you must deal with a new group of enemy soldiers. Start off by killing soldiers located on your left (#1). The second grup is located beneath you (#2). Find a good spot (by the railing) and start shooting at the remaining terrorists.
You might want to consider taking a closer look at the left passageway. There's a large group of terrorists stationed there. Thankfully, they won't even notice you coming. I would recommend throwing a grenade at the terrorists (#1). DON'T use the nearby stairs. Otherwise you would have to deal with a new camera. Go back using the same way. An icon will appear on your screen. Head on to the designated area (#2). Wait for the other crew members to show up. The game will load a new map in just a few seconds.
