Mission 1.3: Mexican Border - Mines Rainbow Six Vegas Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This is a much shorter level. The first part of this mission is going to be very simple, however it's going to get much tougher later during the game.
The good news is that you won't have to worry about killing terrorists for the time being. You start off inside a small tunnel (#1). I would recommend using your nightvision goggles here, so you won't miss anything important. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see some of the hidden terrorists. Once you've reached a small junction, head on to a second tunnel (#2) that should be located in front of you.
Keep moving forward. You won't have to keep quiet, because there aren't any enemies in the vicinity. Once you've reached the stairs (#1), proceed to the lower level of the complex. Also, make sure that the rest of the team is following your lead. You will be getting closer to a much larger room (#2). There's a quite challenging fight ahead of you. Make sure that you're ready for it.
Step up to a small door. You will have to use your Snake Cam here in order to scan the room for hostile units. You will notice a woman and at least two terrorists. It would be wise to tag both of them (#1). Order your men to prepare for the assault (#2). You will have to choose a door for them. Next, press one of the action keys. I would recommend choosing the flashbang grenade.
You will have to give the order to begin an assault. Help your men to clear out the room (#1). There should be at least two additional hostiles inside (one of them should be standing to your left). Once they're gone, proceed to the stairs. Turn right. You should notice a second door here (#2). You will have to order one of your teammates to blow it up.
Once the explosion has occurred, enter the new room and get closer to a strange woman. It looks like she was trying to hide here (#1). You will have to listen to what she has to say. After that, your team is going to be attacked by a larger group of terrorists. As a result, you will lose your squad members and most of your equipment. You will have to wait for your main hero to regain consciousness (#2). Additionally, I'm sure you have noticed that you only have a single pistol at your disposal!
You can take a closer look at your surroundings, however you won't find anything of interest here. Head on to the nearest tunnel (#1). This road leads to your next destination. You should be able to reach a new area very soon. Turn left and take out a single opponent (#2). Aim at his head. Remember that you only have a few bullets, so you can't waste too much ammo.
The second terrorist should appear on your right (#1). Make sure that you take care of him QUICKLY. It's very important! After that, check his body. You should be able to find a SHOTGUN (#2). Pick up this weapon, as you're going to need it to kill the rest of the terrorists. You will have to remember to shoot at them from a smaller distance, because otherwise you'll only waste all of your shells.
Move back to the previous corridor and wait for the third terrorist to get here (#1). I would recommend aiming at his body, instead of a head. One successful shot should be enough to take him down. Head on to the next tunnel. I would recommend going back to one of the killed terrorists. Pick up the ammunition. Once you've reached a new junction (#2), make a stop and reload your current weapon.
The right corridor is going to be guarded by at least one terrorist (#1). I would recommend hiding behind the barrel. Thanks to that, you should be able to eliminate them without any major problems. Now you will have to deal with the rest of the terrorists (#2). Make sure that you're using nearby objects for cover. You will have to be quick with each shot, so don't get hit.
You should be able to reach a second junction very soon (#1). Most of the enemy soldiers should be hiding on your left. Once again, you will have to eliminate them quickly. Make sure that you check their bodies for the additional shotgun shells. You should also be using your tactical map (#2). Make sure that you have checked both passageways. Thanks to that, you won't get surprised in the future.
Try getting closer to a new corridir. It leads to a much bigger room. You should be able to spot at least one of the terrorists (#1). Be careful, though. There's going to be more of them in that room. Use the stairs to get down to the lower level. The second wave will appear on the right side of the screen (#2). Make sure that you have killed all terrorists, before you decide to proceed to the next door. It's very important! Open the door and keep moving forward. The game will begin loading a new map very shortly.
