Slip through enemy territory undetected — wits over firepower.
Setting: Vorkuta, U.S.S.R. · 15 February 1991
You play most of it as Sev, and her Keen Eye is the mission. Each of the three sabotage targets has an operator you talk to and three things to examine — the examining is what opens the sabotage. Using Keen Eye on all three operators is its own achievement, so do it even when you already know what to do.
The three targets
The objectives are short — surveil, sabotage, capture Harrow — but the middle one splits into three, and each can be done more than one way.
The radar dish
Talk to the radar operator, then use Keen Eye on the monitor, the clipboard and the radio. What you learn there is what lets you answer him correctly.
The SAM site
Talk to the SAM operator and read the clipboard, the work order and the calendar. You need wire cutters from the restricted area — northwest of the SAM site, through a lockpicked door and past a bunker on the left — and the sabotage itself happens in the warhead swap room. If you go the computer route instead, hack the SAM site console for the “Orion” and “Target” codes, then again for “Icarus”, and the nearby surveillance building console for “Panoptes” — that combination is what lets the SAM Site target itself and the helicopter, which is also how Skewer the Winged Beast below actually works: hacking the terminals and making the SAM fire on both targets are the same sequence, not two different ways to get it.
The attack helicopter
Talk to the helipad operator and use Keen Eye on the tattoo, the forms and the picture. Then plant a charge on the cargo and get a soldier to load it for you — the helicopter carries its own bomb aboard.
What finishing it gives you
- Consolation Prize — for completing the mission.
- Keen Eye — use Sev’s Keen Eye on all three defence operators.
- Skewer the Winged Beast — hack the SAM site and surveillance terminals above so the SAM Site targets itself and the helicopter, then finish the resulting minigun section.
- Missing Persons — a separate Dark Ops challenge from Keen Eye: stash five bodies in lockers after a silent takedown. There are lockers in the RADAR Dish building’s second-floor armory, in the SAM missile trailer, and two more in the SAM area’s desk room.
- Mindstorm loading screen for completing the mission.
