08: Birds of Prey

The mission will take place on the large, offshore industrial complex off the Gulf. Once you've reached the complex, go weapons-free and engage all targets. Start off by destroying the immediate ground vehicles. Alternate between your 30mm gatling gun and missiles. Press RB to shoot your gatling gun and RT to lock on and fire missiles. Your gatling gun overheats over time so remember to release the trigger to let it cool down. Engage the ground vehicles and the AA emplacements on the platforms.

 

Trophy / Ahchievement: Burn Baby Burn
During the first sequence where you'll have to control one of the attack choppers, you have to find and shoot as many fuel containers as you can. These are white fuel tanks located on top of the buildings. There's a lot of them in this section so take your time before completing the objective to unlock this achievement.

 

Press LT to release flares which will enable you to evade enemy heat-seeking rockets. You'll get an alarm when there's a missile incoming so make sure to release the flares quickly to avoid getting damaged. After clearing the first area, you'll encounter gunboats and more enemy AA positions. Prioritize destroying these as fast as you can.

 

 

Continue flying deeper in the complex while destroying all hostile forces on the rooftops of the buildings. Aside from the AA positions, you have to be careful of RPG troopers as well. Later on, you'll encounter enemy choppers as well. Use your homing missiles to deal with them. Remember that they pack some firepower too so avoid getting hit by their attacks too much. After dealing with the first pair of enemy choppers, another group of choppers will arrive. Engage and destroy them. Keep the skies clear of enemy choppers until your objective is updated.

 

 

Head to the next enemy position and keep clearing the targets on the rooftop and in the dock. These positions will be marked in the map so you won't have problems finding them. After clearing the dock, the allied Blackhawk will land and you'll be controlling Logan.

 

Follow Hesh and Merrick and head to the nearby warehouse. Engage the hostiles and take them out as you move inside. Don't advance too far; stay near your team and keep sweeping the targets as you go. You'll have to go through multiple industrial buildings inside the complex. The sequence will end as soon as you reach the elevator. The control will switch back to your one of your allied attack choppers.

 

 

Attack the targets in the building ahead. They're clumped near each other so well-placed missiles will be enough to take them out immediately. There are also a couple of choppers past the target building but you don't need to engage them to complete this current objective. After destroying all targets on the side and on the top of the building, the control will switch back to Logan.

 

 

Continue upstairs and clear the rooftop. Enter the building ahead and kick open the last door to find Rorke inside. The Rorke File is also in this area so after storming the room, immediately pick up the laptop on the table behind him.

 

Collectible: Rorke File 8
After finding Rorke inside a room at the rooftop near the end of the mission, approach the table he was leaning to find the laptop.

 

 

 

Rorke will be thrown out of the window. Jump out as well and wait for the mission to complete.
