Mission 1.2: Mexican Border - Trainyard Rainbow Six Vegas Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This mission is going to be more difficult. There are a lot of well-trained enemy soldiers in the vicinity. The terrorists will be using various objects for cover. They will also try and surprise your team. You will have to respond to these actions very quickly. It's also very important that you secure each room before proceeding to the next one. Otherwise you would have jeopardized the whole mission.

You start off inside a small, dark room. Turn left. You should be able to locate a large equipment crate here. Step up closer and press the SPACE key in order to open it (#1). Wait for the equipment screen to appear on your screen. You will be able to perform several different actions here. I would recommend taking additional ammunition. You could also choose new guns and upgrades (#2). A rifle scope seems like a good idea, however the choice is yours.

Once you're ready, head on to a nearby door. You shouldn't have any problems finding it, especially since this is a very small room. Take a closer look at your tactical map (#1). As you've probably noticed, you'll have a large area to explore. Start off by moving towards the right side of the screen. I'd strongly recommend using one of the carriages for cover (#2).

There aren't any hostiles in the vicinity, so you may as well start moving towards your current destination. Make sure that you use one of the nearby walls for cover. You should have a gun with a scope. Use it to kill one of the enemy snipers (#1). Order your team to move to a nearby cover point (#2). It's very important, because a lot of terrorists will appear in this area very soon.

The terrorists will be coming from two different directions. You should be guarding the carriages that are located in front of you (#1). After that, turn left. More enemy soldiers will arrive in this area (#2). I would recommend choosing long bursts, instead of single shots. You should also be using the tactical map.

Try moving towards the central area of this section of the map (#1). You should be able to kill at least one additional soldier from here. Be careful, though. A lot of terrorists may be hiding, so you will have to explore your surroundings. You could also go to your left. You will have a small staircase here (#2). Use the stairs to get to the roof of a larger building.

You should have a nice view from here. Make sure that you have secured this entire area. Use the nearby ladder. Once you're on the ground, wait for the rest of the team to join you. Start moving forward (#1). Remember that you don't have to be in a lot of hurry. Check your surroundings for additional units. You should also be using larger objects (mostly carriages) for cover (#2).

You should be able to spot a larger group of enemy soldiers (#1). I would recommend placing your team near the carriages (on the right). You will have to be very careful here. Some of the terrorists may actually try and get closer. As a result, make sure that you check your map often, as well as the nearby containers (#2).

One of the enemy soldiers is hiding behind a small brick wall (#1). I didn't have any problems killing him. Just make sure that you have a weapon equipped with a scope at your disposal. You could also try and surprise him from the right flank, however this would require help from the rest of the team. Keep heading towards your current destination (#2). Just as before, you will have to be moving slowly, so you won't skip anyone along the way.

You should be getting closer to a much larger corner (#1). The worst is behind you, however you still have to take care of several enemy soldiers. Just make sure that you're using your tactical map to locate them. You should be killing them from a larger distance (#2), so you won't lose any health. You could also use some of the carried grenades, however I'm sure that it won't come to that.

Try sending the rest of your team towards one of the carriages (#1). There are also some brick walls in this area, however the carriages are much bigger. Thanks to that, you will have an opportunity to clear out the final sections of this area. At least one enemy soldier will be hiding near the huge warehouse building (#2). I'm sure that you won't have any major problems killing him.

Gather the rest of the team around your position. You will have to reach an upper balcony. As a result, use one of the available ladders (#1). Once you're on the balcony, wait for the rest of the team to show up. Head on to the nearest door (#2). You won't have to use any cameras here, because there aren't any bandits inside.

Go ahead and enter the warehouse building. You will have to get closer to a second door. That's where the hostages are being held (#1). I would recommend leaving your team here. You will have to order your men to get ready for the assault. Use the camera and tag two terrorists. One of them will be standing near the hostages. The second terrorist should be located on your right. Head on to the second door (#2). You shouldn't have any problems finding it.

Make sure that you're ready! Go ahead and give the assault order (#1). I would recommend choosing the left action. Thanks to that, your men will use a flash grenade. You shouldn't have any problems with the terrorists. The hostages will also be safe. You will have to wait for new orders to appear on your screen. After that, head on to the nearest door (#2). You may as well ignore the hostages. You won't have to escort them to safety.

You will come across a second equipment crate (#1). I'd strongly recommend choosing a new gun and replenishing your ammo (and grenade) supply. Once you're ready, head on to nearby rappel hooks. Slide down on the rope and wait for the rest of the squad to get here (#2). Order your men to follow your lead.

There's a quite challenging section of the map ahead of you. The most important thing here will be to defend against a massive attack. Start off by killing a single terrorist that should be hiding on your left (#1). It's very important! You probably won't notice him at first glance. Now you will have to make sure that your men are using brick walls for cover. You will probably notice a few terrorists in a distance (#2).

You won't have a lot of problems with the first wave. Sadly, some of the terrorists will be using carriages for cover (#1). Make sure that you kill them as soon as possible. Sadly, you will be surrounded by these objects, so you must be careful. Don't leave this area unless you are sure that it's been secured. You should also be using your tactical map, especially if you can't locate one of the terrorists (#2).

Try moving with the rest of your team towards the right edge of the screen. You should be able to spot a few additional terrorists from here (#1). You will also get closer to a larger building. Move to your right and take out several terrorists (#2). It's not going to be easy, however you should be able to surprise at least a few of them.

Start moving forward. Stick close to the wall of the right building. As a result, you should be able to locate a small entrance. Be careful, though. This passageway is being guarded by at least one terrorist (#1). Once you've killed him, enter the building. Position yourself correctly. You will have to take out several other terrorists. They are currently occupying the lower floor (#2).

I would recommend letting your teammates to handle this problem. After that, order them to use the rappel hooks (#1). As a result, they will secure the new area. You will have to join them as soon as possible. You won't have any problems using the rope. Once you're there, make a few steps forward. You are getting close to a larger warehouse. You have to be careful here. One of the bandits should be hiding on your left (#2). The second one is standing in front of you.

I would recommend that you find a suitable cover. A stone wall seems like a good idea. You should be able to kill most of the terrorist from here (#1), especially since most of them will try to organize a frontal assault. Be careful, though. Some of the terrorists may surprise you from the left side (#2). Make sure that you're using your tactical map. Gather the rest of your squad here before you decide to proceed to the next section of the compound.

Like I've said before, some of the terrorists will be hiding in very unusual spots. As a result, you will have to be very thorough. Make sure that you have checked each room, before proceeding to the next one. You should be getting closer to a large locomotive (#1). Once you've secured this area, send your team to that object. You, on the other hand, should turn left. Try surprising some of the terrorists from here (#2).

I wouldn't recommend moving to the next area just yet. You HAVE to make sure that there aren't any other hostiles in this room (#1). You could also use the stairs. This would allow you to locate a few additional terrorists, however you would be vulnerable to most of their attacks. Get closer to a small passageway. Start off by clearing out the stairs (#2). It would be best to use a scope or zoom feature here.

Now you will have to try and secure this entire area. Just as before, you must be very careful. Some of the terrorists may be hiding in the shadows (#1). It's very important that you locate and kill them. Proceed to the staircase (the one with the killed terrorists; #2). Make sure that the rest of the squad is following you.

Head on to the left corridor. I had to neutralize a single opponent here, so it shouldn't be much of a problem, especially since you will be able to surprise him (#1). Keep moving towards your current destination. You shouldn't encounter any other hostiles here. You will come across new rappel points. Order your men to use ropes (#2). You will have to join them (use the third rappel point).

You will have to press the right action key. The objective will be to order your men to start moving towards the lower level of the complex (#1). The game will display a new hint in just a few seconds. You can press the C key in order to practice this cool move. As a result, your character will think he's Spider-Man. ;-) Start shooting at the visible enemy soldiers (#2). Once they're gone, press the C key once again.

The only thing left to be done here is to slide down on the rope. Once you've reached your destination, press the SPACE key in order to brake the windows (#1). After that, the game will load a new map of this chapter.
