Hold down your crouch button and zoom in with the rifle. Listen to the banter, and eliminate the target. He's the one in front with the glasses. Be sure not to fire on him while the long-haired guy is behind him. The bullet will go right through the target and kill them both, costing you the mission. Once the target is dead, RUN through the doors on the right to avoid being spotted, and back down to the bottom floor.

If you want to make your exit a little easier, leave the rifle here, and pick up an AK on your way out. Otherwise, follow my above tips for avoiding detection as you make your escape. You can duck by the two guards inside the metro with more very careful timing. If you run, you'll generally be okay as long as the guard in the locker room doesn't get a good look at you. I recommend saving your game before trying this. It's tricky, and it'd suck to pooch the mission here.


METHOD C-  disguise first, rifle later
Run up to the locker room area, and take out the guard who goes behind the lockers in the manner of your chosing. Now run back to subway lockers and get your rifle. This way, the civilians in the metro won't cause you any worries, as long as you hoslter your rifle and walk like a normal soldier. Follow method B for the remainder of the mission.

Problem is, killing this guy can put you overbudget for Silent Assassin, and you're really going to have to hoof it to get the mission done before he wakes up.


METHOD D-  snipe this!
A couple people have written in to tell me about how they did this mission by going directly into the Pushkin building. Alas, none of them ever really describe it in much detail, but surprisingly, I found a way to do it and maintain Silent Assassin!

Start out by acquiring a disguise in the manner of your choosing as described above.
Leave the sniper rifle in the locker with the loot, and make your way to the back of the Pushkin building. Ideally, there shouldn't be anybody outside. Check the map to make sure the hallway is clear, and head inside. Quickly go into the room on your left (lower end of the map) and hide next to the far side of the door. This way, the guard who walks through here won't see you. Once he's gone, bolt into the next room, then up the stairs.

Break right, and then take the long hallway at the back of the building. Sneak near the end, and get right up next to the door. Look at the map to make sure the pacing
General is at the far end of the room, or heading that way, and open the door. Move so that you can just see the man in brown to the right of the door. From here, nobody will get a good look at you after you take the shot.

The target is the one on the far side of the table, blocked from here by the guy in brown. Bring out your silenced pistol. Eventually, the man in brown will lean forward, allowing you a shot at the exposed head of the target. Take it, then put your gun away and bolt backwards away from the door. The other Generals and the man in brown will all scramble to safety, and one guard will come up to examine the scene of the crime.
Keeping an eye on the map, it shouldn't be too hard for you to get downstairs and back out the way you came.

If you did it right in the doorway when you took the shot, nobody will know to look for a suspicious guard or soldier or whatever, so you can stroll to the exit with impunity, as long as you don't get too close to any guards or soldiers.


SILENT ASSASSIN
---------------
Use method B without ever letting the Suspici-O-meter get in the red, and be sure to knock out the one soldier, rather than killing him. If you give him a full rags worth, you'll have oodles of time. If you are having trouble, try Method D.


THE EASY WAY
------------
Method C is probably the easiest, assuming you kill the first guard. I suppose cross- ing the map is actually easier via method A, but the actual shot is easier with C. D can be easy too, but it's somewhat unreliable whether or not you can get away without having to dodge bullets.


LOOT
----
AK rifle-       On any soldier. Carrying it makes movement outside MUCH easier.
SVD sniper-     In the locker. Both of these available next level, so just pick one.
.54 pistol-     On some of the guards, such as those by the roadblock. Don't go out of your way to get it though. It's much easier to get later.





MISSION 3- KARIV PARK MEETING
======================================================================================

Another big map with a confounding sewer system. Consider your first several attempts at this map to be little more than exploration runs.

Tips-
1. The soldiers will get suspicious if you run, or if you're carrying an odd weapon.
2. The SVD looks enough like the AK that they will be fooled if you stay about 20 feet away from them, as long as you have it holstered.
3. Explore the sewer thoroughly, so you know where the MANY exits go.
4. All it takes is one audible gunshot and the targets will flee the scene.
5. Sniper rifles are very LOUD.


FIRST CHALLENGE-        Getting in and armed
--------------------------------------------
METHOD A-  stealth
Run over to the crates at the start, and hide behind the two that touch. The loot is in the corner they form. Hit sneak here so the soldier and limo won't see you. Start picking up whatever gear you want, and keep the camera pointed at the soldier. Once the limo has gone, slowly back away from him, keeping the dumpster between you, then sidestep to the left behind this second dumpster. The instant he turns his back, bolt for the sewers.


METHOD B-  violence
Run over to the crates at the start, and hide behind the two that touch. The loot is in the corner they form. Hit sneak here so the soldier and limo won't see you. Start picking up whatever gear you want, and keep the camera pointed at the soldier. Get your silenced pistol ready, and step out and shoot him when he turns his back. Drag him back to the dumpsters, and take his clothes. Holster your SVD, and you'll be able to pass for a soldier as long as they don't get too good of a look at you. Don't let the limo see your handiwork!

This is where I had my first problem with the SD Ballers. I plugged the soldier with them and he flew so far that people on the street saw the corpse and came running.
Hence my recommendation to use the 9mm.


METHOD C-  speed
If you're not planning on using the car bombs, you can simply bring a sniper rifle from one of the two prior missions with you. Once the mission starts, bolt for the nearest sewer entrance.


SECOND CHALLENGE-       Doing the deed
--------------------------------------
METHOD A part 1- car bomb the Mafia boss
Grab both carbombs from the equipment depot, and enter the sewers as described in methods A & B above. To the north of the map are two exits close together. You want the one that's slightly further away, the northernmost sewer exit on the map.

Look around with the camera before sticking your big, shiny, bald head up. Ideally, there should be a man peeing in the corner. He is Mafia boss's driver. If he's not there yet, then climb out and crouch behind the box to wait for him.

Those who played the original should be able to figure out what to do here. Snuff the guy in whatever way pleases you, take his clothes, and walk out to the street. Try not to let any of the other guys get a good look at you, and walk up and plant the bomb on the car. Calmly walk back to the sewer.

METHOD A part 2- car bomb the General
Once in the sewers, you're headed for the exit close to the west of where you enter.
It's the exit furthest south on the map. As you climb the ladder, you'll notice a car parked right on top of it. Attach the bomb, and make your escape through the sewers.
Easy, eh? If you're quick, you'll make it back to the exit point in time to see the
General's car go up.


METHOD B-  snipe from the church
The church is pretty much a wash if you want a good rating, but it's there if you want to try it. If you followed method B for insertion, you can just walk over to it, as long as you give any guards a wide berth, don't let them get a good look at you, and don't run too much. Head around the back side.

If you don't have a uniform, you can use the sewers. There's an exit right in front of the church, but there's a soldier who looks right at it, so it's not recommended. You can, however, go the LONG way 'round. It's best to use method C for insertion if you plan to do this, because you're going to be pressed for time. If you use the sewers to go to the northern most exit, you can run around behind the backs of several buildings to get to the back of the church. Careful hiding and timing should get you by any soldiers along the way.

Once you're there, you'll probably need to cap the soldier out here with the silenced pistol. You CAN chloroform him if you use the dumpsters for cover, but there's no point; you'll be raising alarms later anyway. Pick the lock and head in the side door.
At the top, whistling, is another soldier. Take him out with the silenced pistol too.

Line up your shot. If you were fast, they hug twice at the start of the meeting, and you can sometimes kill both with one bullet. More likely, however, you'll have to plug one and try and get the other while he's running away. It's probably easiest to shoot the Mafia guy, as you have a better shot towards the General's car from here. You can also use either part of Method A as "insurance" in case you miss.

Either way, once you've pulled the trigger, the soldiers will be all over you. There's nothing for it at this point but running, I'm afraid. Ugly, but it works.


METHOD C-  snipe from the tower
Use the insertion plan of your choice, and enter the sewer. If you want, you can take the time to use either part of method A to plant a car bomb as "insurance", since this is a very difficult shot, and you're in the sewer anyway. It's preferable to bomb the
General's car, rather than the Mafioso's, in the interests of time. When ready, head to the second most western exit.

Look around with the camera here before you stick your head out. You'll probably have to spin the camera around to find the tower. The guard here stops out on the road, then goes back and looks in on the tower, then turns with his back to the tower.
He stays there for a while, then walks around the other side for a little while. When he starts to walk away from the road, run out and stand against the wall of the nearby building.

Next, make your move when he starts to go around to the other side. The easiest way to dispose of this guy is to shoot him with the silenced pistol. It doesn't matter where the body winds up; Nobody sees it.

If you're trying to be stealthy, then run to the door the instant the guy starts to go around the far corner. Pick it, then turn and back up against the door and the dumpster's side. Hit the stealth button, and the soldier should walk right by you, once he does, open the door, and run inside the fence, and hide behind the tower. He'll eventually come back and look in on the tower, but if you're behind it, and sneaking, he won't see you. Then he turns his back on the door and stands there for a while.
Open the door, and sneak up behind him, and knock him out. Depending on how fast you can snipe, you only need to give him about 3 bottles worth.

Head up the tower, and find the destroyed wall through which you can snipe the targets.
You might want to save here, since sniping can be tricky.

If you planted a car bomb, then you only need to snipe one target here, and let the other blow himself up. If you snipe the General first, you can probably take the other target as he stops to get into his car.

Remember in the last mission, how the sniper rifle can kill two people with one shot?
Well, you get an excellent chance to exploit that feature here. Watch the targets in the park. Eventually, they stop and talk. Aim at the general's torso. When they go to leave, the other guy walks in front of him, and they briefly overlap. Pull the trigger.


METHOD D-  walkin' in the park one day
Use method B for insertion so you have a disguise, and carry the AK instead of the
SVD. Now simply stroll into the park, giving all soldiers as wide a berth as possible.
Find a secluded spot, and wait for the targets to stroll by. From behind, pull out your silenced 9mm and quickly drill them both in the head. If you're good enough with the pistol, you can drop 'em both before anyone gets to scream. Now simply walk back out.


SILENT ASSASSIN
---------------
Use method A for insertion, then use method A to carbomb both targets. If you use the chloroform on the driver, instead of killing him, you get a Silent Assassin rating.
The harder, but more satisfying way to get Silent Assassin is to use either method A or C for insertion, then method C to get the kill. As long as you use chloroform on the tower guard, you're good. I think you also need to get both targets with one bullet, but I'm not 100% sure about that. You can also get Silent Assassin if you mix and match; snipe the Mafioso and carbomb the General.


THE EASY WAY
------------
For my money, carbombing both is the easiest way to do this mission, assuming you just shoot the driver. You might also want to try method D, but it can be a bit unreliable.
