Drop the cargo | Mission 10 - American Fuel Splinter Cell: Blacklist Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Note - also for this mission, the premises are atypical, because instead of setting out for a fully fledged mission to stop the Engineers from using the tanker for a terrorist attempt, you will have to contain the aftermath of the hacker attack, performed by them, against the Paladin. The objective is clear and it assumes preventing the plane's catastrophe. To perform all of the required actions, you have 5 minutes but, if you don't linger, you should have the spare 20-50 seconds at the end of the mission.
Your first task is to reach Kobin's cell, so he can replace the severely wounded pilot. As you probably remember, to get to the room with holding cells, you need to cross the door marked as Lower Holding Cell. After you free Kobin, go towards the Cargo Bay, where you can get through the corridor located to the right of the phone to Sara. After you enter the cargo bay, approach the helicopter and start pushing it away with Briggs (you need to move the analog stick upwards or, press, and hold down the up-arrow directional key).
Wait until you regain control over Fisher , turn back and approach the ladder, marked by the game, to use it. Climb up the ladder, grab onto the ledge and shimmy to the right. Eventually, you need to get into the area shown in the screenshot, thanks to which you will be able to hit both hydraulic catches with your pistol.
