The first step is to acquire a Pantheon uniform. As soon as the mission begins, turn right and head inside the watchtower. An enemy will be stationed in front of you. Take him out quietly, and you will automatically obtain the Pantheon uniform.

Surveil the Radar, SAM Site, and Attack Helicopter

Next, you need to survey the Radar, SAM Site, and Attack Helicopter. The locations of all three will be marked on your HUD, and each one will be within your line of sight.

To complete the survey, simply interact with each target, triggering a short conversation between Sev and Marshall. During these interactions, the two will discuss different ways to sabotage the equipment.

Here are the sabotage options for each target:

Radar Dish

Plant explosives on the Radar's power supply.
Plant explosives on the Radar dish.
Have a nice chat with a particular enemy to convince him to take it offline..

Sam Site

Sabotage the missiles and convince the SAM operator to get them installed.
Plant explosives directly on the missiles.

Attack Helicopter

Plant explosives on the helicopter.
Put water into the refueling truck.
Plant explosives on the cargo and convince a particular soldier to get it loaded.

Note: Even while disguised, you need to be cautious. Certain actions, such as lockpicking doors or pointing weapons at enemies, can raise suspicion and blow your cover.

The recommended order for sabotaging is to disable the Radar first, followed by the SAM Site, and, finally, the Helicopter.

Discover how to sabotage the Radar

To sabotage the Radar, head to the Radar Station on the left side of the camp. The best approach is to convince the Radar operator to shut it down himself. You will find this individual seated before some computers.

Approach him and initiate a conversation, selecting the following responses in sequence to successfully persuade him.

Response 1: Seems a bit overblown, doesn't it? Who would attack us out here?
Response 2: [Keen Eye] - Look for clues in the room to proceed. Check the monitor, clipboard, and the radio on the table.
Response 3: Something about a code 11A. Command's worried there may be a malfunction
Response 4: I don't know, it's just what Sgt. Whitman told me.
Response 5: He wants you to run the clutter simulation again. The previous one was incomplete.

This conversation will successfully convince the operator to take the Radar offline.

Discover how to sabotage the SAM Site

For the SAM Site, it’s best to plant explosives directly on the missiles. The area will be restricted, so proceed cautiously.

Before entering the site, go inside the building to the right of the Radar operator’s room just across the road. Inside it will be a room. Go through its door to find an explosive and a silenced handgun. Take both and head to the room that connects to the SAM Site.

The door to the SAM Site will be locked, but since no enemies are facing it, you can pick the lock without raising their suspicion. Once inside the area, move carefully to avoid detection.

Start by heading left, where you’ll find a small building with a single guard. Eliminate him silently and proceed through the building to the other side.

Now, on your right side, you will find another building. Go in and take down the guard quietly. Then, search the area to find an explosive.

Only one remaining guard will be patrolling the SAM Site now. Eliminate him and then plant an explosive directly on the SAM system to complete the sabotage.

Discover how to sabotage the Helicopter

Now, it’s time to sabotage the Attack Helicopter. The area it's in is also restricted, so you must remain stealthy.

As you approach the chopper, climb the platform above the helicopter site where a guard is stationed. Eliminate him silently and descend to the lower level, where another guard will be patrolling. Take him down quietly.

There will be three more guards near the chopper, each facing different directions. Carefully eliminate them one by one. With the area cleared, plant the explosive on the helicopter to complete the final objective.

Use the security station to locate the Cradle

Next, head to the marked location. Inside the building, you will find a laptop, but a guard will be stationed near it. Eliminate him quietly. Once the area is clear, try accessing the computer, which will be locked.

You must now complete an easy puzzle: Match the given numbers with the corresponding letters to form the eight words.

Once the puzzle is solved, you will gain access to the camera feed. Change the footage till you find an underground camera showing Harrow. This is when you get a twist — the bio-weapons have already been shipped and are not in Vorkuta.

Rendezvous with Sev

As Sev relays this information to the team, Marshall, Case, and Adler board a helicopter headed to Vorkuta.

Now, you will play the role of Case. While in the helicopter, you can operate the mini-gun to eliminate the enemies in Vorkuta, ensuring a safe landing.

Once you've touched the ground, your primary mission will be to capture Harrow.

Enter the tunnel and locate Harrow

Follow the marked location in your HUD as you enter the tunnel. Move with caution, as foes will be stationed throughout it.

As you navigate the tunnel, stick to the path and be prepared to encounter various enemy types. Use all necessary equipment to counter them. You will face shielded enemies as well, so deploy the Disruptor to immobilize them, causing them to drop their shields and become easy targets. Be mindful of traps, armored enemies with shotguns, and more.

As you progress, you will reach a point where you need to proceed alone. Eventually, you will arrive at a section where you must jump down. Be ready for an ambush when you land.

To survive, use a stim to boost yourself immediately after landing. Subsequently, you will find a ladder to climb.
