Mission 6.5: Nevada Dam - The Doctors Rainbow Six Vegas Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This is by far one of the most challenging missions of the entire game. You will have to deal with a lot of different obstacles and difficulties. The first part of the mission will require you to save some hostages. After that, you will have to secure several well defended rooms. You will also have to defend your position against enemy attacks. Don't make too many mistakes. It's also very important that you familiarize yourself with the surroundings.

We'll start off in the exact same spot. This is a small corridor (#1). If you take a closer look at your map, you'll probably notice that there's a larger "maze" ahead. Sadly, this means trouble, because it's going to be more challenging to take out all terrorists. Once you're there, turn left and order your men to hide behind a nearest wall (#2).

Leave your team here. Turn right and start moving forward. You will have to reach a larger room that should be located to your right. This area will be guarded by at least two terrorists. They will be hiding, so you must be careful (#1). Once they're gone, make a few steps forward and open the left door. There are some new soldiers at the opposite end of this hallway (#2). Make sure that you maintain a larger distance. Otherwise they would decide to use some of the carried grenades and it would be extremely difficult to avoid the explosions.

Once the terrorists have been killed, start moving forward. Turn left and enter a nearest room. It's going to be located on your left. Start shooting at the enemy soldier (#1). Order your men to move forward. As you've probably noticed, a second terrorist is hiding in the right room. You will have to take him out as well (#2). Doing this should allow you to secure this entire area.

If you take a closer look at your personal map, you should notice that there's a larger room nearby. That's where the hostages are being held. Open the right door and order your men to prepare for an assault (#1). Use the camera and tag two terrorists. Now you will have to go back to the main corridor. Head on to your left. You must keep a crouching stance here. Hide near one of the windows (#2).

Once you're ready, order your men to proceed with the assault. Stand up at the same time and take out the terrorist (#1). There's going to be two of them. Make sure that you kill at least one bandit. If you don't make any mistakes, the hostages should be safe. Enter the room and listen to what one of the civilian doctors has to say (#2).

Proceed to the left door. You shouldn't have any problems finding it. Open the door and use the stairs to reach the upper floor (#1). Once you're there, start moving forward. This is a large hallway, however it's not being guarded by anyone (#2). You will have to reach a double door. The game will create a checkpoint area here.

Enter the small room and order your men to hide near the left door (#1), however you shouldn't open it right away. Head on to a small room that should be located in front of you (#2). Take out a single terrorist. You will also have to wait for his colleague. He will arrive here very soon. It's very important that you kill these thugs.

Try moving closer to the next room. You will have to be very careful here. At least one enemy soldiers will be hiding in this room (#1). He's behind the pillar. Once the area has been secured, order your men to proceed with the assault. You will have to help them from the right flank. You shouldn't have any problems securing this warehouse (#2).

Gather the rest of the team around your position and start moving towards a new area of the map (#1). There aren't any enemy troops here, so proceed to the next room. The game will create an autosave here. Be careful. One of the terrorist will be hiding on your left (#2). Ignore a nearby door. Keep going straight. You will come across a new door. This passageway leads to a much bigger room.

Once again, I wouldn't recommend storming this place, because your team would be vulnerable to enemy attacks. Instead, open the door carefully and try to kill terrorists from here (#1). Many of them will appear on the upper balcony, especially to your left (#2). You will have to take them out as soon as possible. Make sure that you're using the scope during these fights.

Before you decide to head on to the upper balcony, there's at least one more terrorist for you to take care of. He will be standing above your current position (#1). You could use some of the carried grenades, however I would recommend saving them for later. You will have to reach a small staircase. This area is being guarded by at least one enemy soldier (#2), so be careful and take your time. You could also hide behind the left wall.

Enemy soldiers are hiding just around the corner. Try hiding behind the right wall, so you'll know exactly where to shoot (#1). You could consider throwing a couple of grenades at them. Once you've taken out most of these guys, order your men to move forward. If you're lucky, your teammates should be able to deal with this problem. They should also hide behind the left pillar.

Head on to a nearby door. There's only one passageway here, so you can't get lost. You won't encounter any hostiles here. Once you've reached a small balcony area (#1), turn right and keep moving forward. Use the stairs to get down to a lower level. You will have to reach a small door (#2). Order your men to stop here. There are some new terrorists inside.

You will have to use a Snake Cam here. Try tagging two terrorists (#1). Once this is done, order your teammates to proceed with the assault. You won't have any problems securing this room, however you should consider helping them, especially if you plan on taking down other enemy soldiers. Some of them will be shooting from a larger distance (#2).

You will have to get closer to a left passageway. This corridor leads to a new room. Sadly, this whole area is being guarded by the terrorists. As a result, you will have to take care of this problem (#1). Make sure that you're hiding behind cover. Once you've taken out all enemy units, start moving towards your next destination (#2). The game will create a final checkpoint here. This is going to be the MOST DIFFICULT section of the level, so get ready!

Take a look at your personal map. As you've probably noticed, there are two ways to get to this room, however I wouldn't recommend wasting time on simultaneous attacks. Order your team members to stand near a door, so they will be able to help you out during these fights. Open the door and start shooting at the terrorists (#2). You should be using the left wall for cover.

Sooner or later, most of the enemy soldiers will arrive here, so you should be able to kill them from here (#1). Just make sure that you don't stay in the open for too long. Once the area has been secured, order your men to enter the room (#2). You will have to deal with the remaining enemy soldiers. Most of them will be standing on your left. Once this is done, proceed with the team to the main target. DON'T even think about going to the upper balcony!

You will have to make sure that your teammates are standing near the console (#1). Order one of your squad members to proceed with the default action. He's going to try to hack into the system. Sadly, this means trouble. Enemy soldiers will arrive in this area. Order your second team member to hide behind the console (#2). You will have to make sure that he stays here!

This is going to be a very difficult fight, so I'm sure you'll want to know what has to be done here, especially since you won't be allowed to make any major mistakes:

1) Your primary target here will be to allow one of your team members to work on a computer. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about him too much. The same goes with the computer console. It's not going to be that easy to destroy it.

2) Both of your teammates will have to survive this assault. I wouldn't recommend allowing the terrorists to take down your second squad member.

3) The terrorists will attack your position from two different directions. As a result, you will have to take them down very quickly. It's very important that they don't start shooting at you or the computer console. You will be able to use this object for cover, however only for a short while. You will also be using your tactical map.

And the most important thing...

4) You WON'T BE ALLOWED to leave this area, because that would result in a mission failure (Irene would escape). This is a very unclear mission objective, especially since you won't be able to spot all the terrorists right away. Sadly, you won't be able to do anything about it. You can't leave this small hideout and that's it...

The first group of enemy soldiers should appear on your left (#1). The second group will be standing in front of you (#2). Additionally, some of the terrorists may appear on your right, near the crates, however this will happen only during the first wave of the enemy assault.

This is a very similar task to the casino stage mission. Sadly, you won't be allowed to proceed wit the next mission objective, until this entire area has been secured. It's very difficult to do this from here, because you won't be allowed to lean out too much. As a result, you should consider using some of the carried grenades (#1). You will also have some serious problems with the right side of this room. Some of the terrorists may be hiding there (#2). You will have to be standing in a very specific spot in order to be able to take them down.

One of the terrorists may also hide on your right. You won't be allowed to lean out here, so you will have use on your grenades to kill him or to force him to leave this hiding spot. You could also try and move to your left (VERY CAREFULLY!), however it's quite risky (#1). Once you've taken care of the terrorists, you should receive a new order. Start moving towards the stairs (#2). As you've probably noticed, the rest of the team won't be following you, so you have to be extremely careful. I'm sure that you wouldn't want to die and go back to the previous checkpoint. ;-)

Once you're close enough to the stairs, turn around and start moving backward. Two enemy soldiers are hiding here. You will have to kill them quickly (#1). Once they're gone, proceed to the upper balcony. Irene is hiding in a large room (#2), however you won't be able to kill her from here. We'll deal with her in a few minutes.

Keep moving towards your new destination. You will come across a steel door (#1). Wait for the rest of the team to show up.
