Syndicate Wars Hints

Mission REF 18: Sevastopol (continued)

• 5 & 6. We are now going to take out the two platoons. The first one is pretty near on the right, accompanied by a tank (and this one already has a driver). The second platoon can be found on the left corner. Don't just walk towards it to attack them: we're going to lure them in a trap. On the left side of the first platoon, you'll find an area marked by yellow and black stripes on the edges. You can interpret it as if it's some sort of a road going further to the north, and at the northern border of the map, you can choose to go left or right.
  
  Take your trigger wire, and block this "road" with it every 20 meters or so. You should span the street with it 7 or 8 times. Don't get too close to the platoon with your first span, because it would alert them. When the trap is in place, it's time to notify the platoon that you're there. As you cannot shout in this game, it's time you use the nuclear grenade that you found in the previous mission. Throw it into the platoon. It will take out some Unguideds, and the rest (including the second platoon) will advance on you. Go full speed through the trigger wires to the north of the map. Now relax and enjoy the view. The wires will do all the work for you. It's a nice sight watching them fall one by one. Some will get through the first wires, but at the end, no one will survive. A tank is all what remains, and it is damaged already because of the grenade. Take it out with some plasma-lance shots. It's a great weapon against tanks.
  
  7. Now it's time to take out the last Unguideds. They are located on the left of the map .The only entrance to it is a large and steep bridge near the exploded motorcycle. The closest Unguided is in a building. Place a high explosive. Two are located more to the left in another building and will come to you when you get closer. Two long-range rifle shots will suffice. Follow the yellow/black stripes to the north, which become very small. At that point you can find some stairs going down, leading to two buildings guarded by four Unguideds. Again, trigger wire will be very helpful here. Trigger the stairs with the wire. Now go to the north, and do not take the stairs. Just keep on following the yellow/black stripes. You'll encounter some Unguideds, but they are nothing to be worried about. Long-range rifles will take them out before they can do anything. Don't get surprised, though, because some are carrying plasma lances.
  
  When you have killed them all, it's time to alarm the guards in the lower part. Shoot some of them with the long-range rifle while you are still standing on the higher level. Out of the two buildings many Unguideds will appear, and they'll start running to the stairs to attack you. The trigger wire you placed there will kill most of them. If someone gets through after all (or if someone refuses to use the stairs because he becomes suspicious -- who wouldn't with all those bodies lying over there) you can use the rifle to finish the job.
  
  That's all. You can reward yourself with a suitcase that can be found near the initial location of the second platoon. It carries $750000. An alarm will go off when you pick it up, but there's no one left to respond to it... thanks to you.
