Mission 4 - Abandoned City | Mission 12 - Site F Splinter Cell: Blacklist Guide

Note - it's worth taking for this mission a good sub-machine gun or an assault rifle, even if you are going to play the Ghost style.

Infiltrate the lab

The rooftop observed by snipers

Start by zipping down the zipline. As you explore the area, worth out for the snipers, first of all , by hiding behind covers and using the higher portions of the roof, on a regular basis, wherever possible. Apart from snipers, you also need to avoid the regular enemies as well. The current destination is the inaccessible, by default, door which you can open only thanks to the cooperation between both of the players.

One of the enemies standing next to the window

Stop at the edge and note that there are two fastenings here. What is interesting, the choice of the fastening will influence where you will land and which corridors you will have to pass through in order to get to the lower level. Both of the paths are similar but, according to the game's hints, you need to remember that in situations in which you are separated from your teammate, you can't heal each other. During the ride down, watch out for the enemies standing next to some of the windows and do not let them spot you.

An area that is well guarded by the enemies

You need to take all precautions after you reach the new area because around, there are many enemies, including the heavy armored ones and snipers. What is even more, alarming the enemies to your presence may result in the arrival of reinforcements. Try to reach the location's exit door, located on the ground floor, without stressing out.

Approach the staircase and start by grabbing onto the pipe on the right. Thanks to it you will reach the balcony above, where there is a Dead Drop shown in the screenshot. Only then, set out, with your teammate, towards the lower floors and use consecutive interactive ledges on your way.

The high-value target

Ultimately, you need to get to the room with the power supply switches and, first of all, you should note that there is the high-value target here. Just like in Briggs' previous missions, the target is wearing the heavy armor so, make sure that you get behind his back. Take to the mission proper after you knock this enemy - the players need to stand in the specified spots and cut off power supply.

The run

In accordance with the warnings, you will have to leave this place very quickly to prevent dying as a result of bombardment together with the teammate, unlock the door in the control room on the second floor and receive the reward for neutralizing the high-value target (up to 30 thousand dollars). Start sprinting here and remember to press and hold down the interaction key/button at all times, to make it across obstacles automatically. After the successful escape, cooperate to open the door.

Locate the research facility

A new area occupied by the enemy forces

Start a linear walk and watch out after you reach the higher floor because you will encounter new enemies here. There will also be the ones wearing the heavy armor. Keep cutting through or use the side rooms, and make your way into the point marked by the game, i.e. the lab's entrance. Cooperate to open the door and walk along the linear corridors into the main area of the lab. On your way, subject yourself to the decontamination procedure.

After you make it to the lab, start by going into the main control room because there is a Blacklist Laptop there. After either of you hacks into the laptop, approach the exit door marked by the game and listen to Grimm's comments concerning the actions that need to be performed here to unlock this passage.

You will now have to perform the action similar to the one that you performed towards the end of the second mission, because you need here to reach consecutive computer terminals in order to hack into them. At the same time, you should watch out for the enemy agents arriving at the scene. Exceptionally, I recommend that you ignore these enemies this time because, at the end of the mission you will have to do this anyways. To surprise the enemies, make an extensive use of the catwalks above the main room (the above screenshot). I also advise consideration while using some of the gadgets because the heavy armored enemies are immune to these, and raising the alarm means a lot of trouble.

The room with the patient

Visit the consecutive terminals (or wait for your teammate to do that) and try to remain in hiding throughout this process. After the last terminal has been hacked into, you can make use of all the gadgets at your disposal to eliminate the enemies in this area, because you isn't going to need them anymore. Return to the newly unlocked door and reach the room on the floor where the patient used to be held.

Reach the extraction zone with the patient

One of the players needs to carry the unconscious patient

First of all, one of the teammates needs to lift the comatose patient. If you want to be the one carrying him, you of course need to remember that your movements will be largely restricted and you won't have the full access to your gear. Still, the good news is that the body can be dropped down any moment. If it's the other player that carries the body, you will, of course, have to cover him.

The first enemies deployed on the roof

Go now towards the building's exit and go ahead. The player that took on the role of the escort, needs to prove himself here and deal quickly with several new enemies. After the area has been cleared, resume your march towards the landing pad. Soon, an explosion will occur and, as a result,, you and the other player will fall to the ground. Do not worry because this has been fully directed.

You need to use the pistol to eliminate the enemies

You will now have to get through a very demanding final part. At first, you and the other player need to use pistols to eliminate the arriving enemies (aim at the heads) and if you want to finish the mission with perfect ratings, you need to eliminate them before they come close and start shooting.

Try to destroy the arriving drones as quickly as you can

After Fisher and Briggs sit down, you will be able to start using alternative weapon and, just as I suggested at the very beginning, a sub-machine gun or an assault rifle is best for this. Again, go for the heads and destroy quickly the arriving recon drones. You can't allow them to explode near your character. Soon, this mission will end.

After you return to the mobile command center, get acquainted with your ratings and receive your reward. Briggs won't have optional missions for you anymore, but you can talk to Charlie to buy the unique elements of the VORON suit.
