Rescue Carmona

After the first cut scene, you'll be piloting a boat. The mini-map on bottom left corner of your screen will show you where to go. When you get onto the beach, you'll get a crate airdropped to you. Bash the crate to open it. It contains a grenade launcher. You'll see four soldiers ahead of you. Take them out, and use this time to get familiar with the controls.

You then have to destroy the gate with an airstrike. Press up on the D-pad and you'll open the support menu. Select the (free) Satellite Guided Bomb. You'll have to play a simple mini-game to destroy the gate, just press the button when indicated.

Once the gate is destroyed you can move forward to the next marker. You'll have to take out a few more soldiers and a heavy machinegun. Grenades are a good choice for taking out the machinegun emplacement. Take out a few more foot soldiers and you'll get a jeep (an "Iguana") delivered to you. If you happen to destroy it don't worry, there are several of these in the area. Drive forward and watch out for he soldiers at the roadblocks ahead. You can take them out or drive past them.

You'll come to a gate, and when you do you'll want to back up and take cover behind the bend in the road. There are two machine guns and an RPG shooting at you here. Don't bother fighting them because the airstrike you're going to use to destroy the gate will kill them all. You can order the strike from the safety of the rocks at the turn in the road. After the gate is destroyed, drive through and you'll find an RPG just past the gate on your right side. You'll also have a tank waiting for you down the road. The soldiers here can't hurt you, so kill them or just drive past them.

At the bottom of the hill, you'll see a river. On the far side is someone with an RPG, so keep shooting everything over there until they stop shooting. Your character can swim across the river, but the tank can't make it so you'll have to get out and go on foot. Before you cross, take out the gate ahead with another airstrike. Walk into the ruins and you'll complete the mission and see a cutscene.

Moving In

Your objective here is to acquire a base of operations. Start by heading to Solano's Villa. The location is marked on your map. Before you go check out the table behind the house, there's a suitcase full of money there. Head down the road. You can either drive past the people shooting at you, or you can try to fight them.

Once you reach the villa, you'll find a main gate guarded by two machineguns. You can drive (or run) all the way around the wall to your left. The wall doesn't go all the way around the villa so you can get in just by going around it. Once inside you'll have to deal with lots of soldiers (some armed with RPGs) and some of Solano's entourage. Once you've cleared out the villa grounds, you can go inside the front door.

Once inside, you'll be ambushed by a tank. Run up to the barrel of the gun and hijack it (press the same button you use to enter a car). You'll then have a button press sequence and if you do it right you'll get control of the tank. Once you do, drive the tank up the stairs because you'll be attacked by a bunch of guys with RPGs. The second floor is the best tactical location. Take out the guys in this room and you'll complete the mission.

You'll now have a base where you can speak to Fiona who will give you missions or challenges. You can also just leave at any time and explore around. Fiona's pink race car out front and you can drive it. It respawns each time you leave the base, bit if you destroy it you'll have to give her $10k. There are also some speedboats at the back dock you can use anytime you want to cruse on Lake Maracaibo.

Universal Petroleum

• Objectives: Steal truck
• Reward: $500 per gun

You can either take out the guys guarding the truck, or you can just drive up to it, jump out, jump into the truck and drive off. Head over to the second marker, but be careful not to crash. If you do crash you'll lose some of the guns and get paid less. This isn't easy because the truck is a junker. You'll be attacked by some jeeps and some trucks may try to ram you. Keep moving and do your best to ignore them. Use your GPS to get you to the marker. Once you've dropped off the truck, head over to the talkbox to get another mission.

The Devastator

• Objective: Get the devestator and return it to Universal Petroleum
• Reward: $25k

The marker is in easy walking distance. If you go around the left side of the building you won't have to fight anyone. Talk to the contact, then hop on the Devastator (hint: it's not the tank). Ride the Devastator back to the same place where you dropped off the pick-up truck.

Now head into the UP compound. Near the front door you'll find a spare part. Next see Dr. Rubin.

Phone Tag

• Objectives: Deliver 3 listening posts to locate the hostage, then rescue him.
• Reward: $500k

The locations are all defended. Remember that you don't have to take out all the enemies in the area, just enough to get to the marker.

The three listening posts are located on your map:

• Southern: this is a small military depot. There is a Puma tank you must deal with. One good way to do it is drive in, hijack the tank and use it to take out everyone else in the base. Going to the southern base first is a good idea because you can use the tank to sneak into the other areas.

• West: Grab a jeep from one of the rebels on you way in so you can drive in unmolested. You'll find two parking structures right next to each other. Head up the northern one where you'll find an anti-aircraft gun. Don't destroy the gun because you'll need it to take out the helicopter here. Head back down to ground level, then up the other parking structure where you can call mark the target. There are too many enemies here to take out all of them.

• Northeast: this one is a navy port. There are snipers in the towers, but this also means that you can grab a sniper rifle from them after you've killed them. There is a tank out front and a ship with a rocket launcher you can use.

Once you have two of the beacons marked, you'll have only 15 minutes to mark the third. You may want to clear out the second location, but not mark it. That you all you have to do is return to complete the mission. You'll then have to follow the hostage's vehicle and hijack it. Make sure you have a fast vehicle.

When you catch up to the truck, cut it off so it stops, then jump out of your vehicle. Run to the back of the truck, then hijack it. Once you have the truck just drive it back to UP Headquarters. Next, hop in the helicopter and you'll recruit Ewan Devlin into your group. You'll gain the ability to steal airdrops of cash and munitions, and with oil.

Doom Patrol

Start this mission by talking to your helicopter pilot, Ewan. Eva's location will be indicated on your map. Drive over there. Outside of her garage you'll find a spare part.

Inside, speak to her and you'll get the mission. Hop into the monster truck/car. This car doesn't turn all that well, and has a tendency to flip if you drive too fast over obstacles. Drive to the markers indicated. As long as you don't destroy the car, or flip it over you'll be fine. Once you get to the quarry, you'll be on a timer. Each time you hit a checkpoint, you'll get more time. Most of the obstacles (rocks or metal containers) are arranged in rows so you'll need to use the jump button to get over them. At the start try to make good time, because you'll want to save as much time as you can for the end of the course.

You'll come to a part of the quarry that's a large pit with the road going around either side. Drive into the pit and use the ramp to get out, it's much faster than driving around.

You'll then have to jump a canyon. Past that you'll have some people shooting at you but just keep moving and they'll mostly miss. Past them, you'll see some logs rolling toward the road, but you can just jump over them. Cross the bridge, and you'll come to another military base. There is a tank here, but be careful jumping it because you'll have a sharp right turn just after it. Past this is the finish line. Cross this marker, then park the car in the garage. The door will open when you approach. Hop out and walk in the front door to complete the mission.

Eva will now join your team.

Misha Milanich

Start this mission by talking to Eva. Misha's location will show up on your map. You may want to take one of the speedboats at the dock behind your villa. Once you've gotten the mission, hop on one of the jetskis to get to the island.

Once on the island you'll have to take out the anti-aircraft gun before you can pick up the bombs. This gun is located on the west side of the island. If you like using the sniper rifle, you can stand on the hill above the anti-aircraft gun and shoot everyone there, then use one of the vehicle's machine guns to destroy the gun. There is also a tank you can steal on the far western beach. There are also three bunkers with alarms that you might want to destroy.

Once you have the bombs, head over to the island to the north. There are some jetskis you can use on the northern tip of the island.

On the south side of the island is a small base and a road leading up to the main base. Along this road are several outposts, two tanks, and a helicopter parked on the ground. You'll want to either hijack or destroy the helicopter. The tanks are a great way to assault the main base, so you may want to hijack one of them.

The only entrance to this base is on the west side. There are several guard towers, and five barracks to destroy. The final two are next to the bunker you must destroy, one of them will be destroyed in the explosion, the other is hard to get to until the main bunker is destroyed.

The bunker, is a flat topped, low building. You may want to take out the building in front of it with a bunker buster so you can get a better view of it. You have to point the laser at the roof of the bunker. You might also want to stand on top of something (like a vehicle) so you can get a better view of the roof. There is a spare part in front of the entrance to the bunker (the ramp). If you use more than one bomb, you'll have to grab some of the fuel that's scattered around.

Once you've destroyed the bunker, you'll find yourself back at your villa. Misha Milanich, the drunken pilot will now join your group.

Introduction to the P.L.A.V.

When you start this mission (by talking to Fiona) she'll tell you about the P.L.A.V. A marker will appear on your map and you can go to the P.L.A.V. headquarters as soon as you are ready.

You'll meet a new contact (Martinez) who will offer you an new mission. You'll also gain a new landing zone. You can now return here just by speaking to Ewan.

Orinoco River Outpost

This is an easy mission. Head over to the base and kill all the soldiers there. You can snipe from the hill to the north, or you can steal a vehicle and drive in guns blazing. There are no alarms or vehicles to destroy. When the area is clear (or mostly clear) call in the troops the same way you call in support. They will take over the base. You'll unlock a new landing zone and a faction HQ where you can go to get new missions. You'll also get a new contact, Maria.
