Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Walkthrough
This walkthrough is written based on the normal difficulty. If you’re playing on the highest difficulty, you’ll want to rely more often on smoke grenades to avoid getting hit; going silent whenever possible and eliminating enemies before they spot you will also be beneficial to you. If you want to try a difficulty level between normal and hard, try playing normal without any armor on; it makes it much more difficult to survive gunfire, but you still have a bit of a gap between getting shot and instantly dying.
Pyrenees: Negotiations
At the very start of the game, you’ll have to lead a three-man team of soldiers into a hostage situation in the Pyrenees Mountains. As you may expect, the first section of the game is fairly simple, but you can still die quickly if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Head along the catwalk and get ready to make your first kill. You may want to switch your weapon over to single-fire mode, which will let you get a little more accuracy than you’ll achieve in rapid-fire mode, which in turn will let you peg enemies with headshots and earn some marksman points.
Make your way past the snipers and down the stairs to the outside balcony. Get used to the controls here, which the tutorials should be telling you all about. In general, any door you reach can be safely opened and breached by your team; use a flash-and-clear or frag-and-clear command to clear out the rooms as you go along.
There will be a couple of times here when you have to rappel; you may want your team members to take the lead here, as they’ll be capable of firing while dangling a bit more easily than you will. Continue through the level, capping any terrorists you see, until you reach a mined door. Order one of your team members to open it, then head through to reach the area where the hostages are being held.
While the negotiator speaks to the hostages, move around to the left and position yourself near the top of the stairs there. You may want to switch yourself over to smoke grenades before entering the room here. As soon as your teammate rashly opens fire, throw a couple of smoke grenades into the room, then start firing away at the terrorists. You may want to command your teammates to head down the stairs into the room, as a large number of terrorists will be coming your way. The hostages will run, but you’ll have to kill all of the enemies before you can move on.
Ambush
After refitting yourselves at the outfitting stations (you can use these even if you don’t want new weapons; they’ll still refill your grenades and ammo), head out to the area beyond this to meet up with an ambush. Feel free to set your teammates to fire first with the select or back button on your controller.
There’s another large assortment of enemies here, so feel free to use grenades to clear some of them out, and be sure to position your teammates in such a way that they’ll be able to fire on your foes. Be especially careful of the soldier on the rooftops; he can kill you in just a hit or two, especially if other enemies are firing on you. Getting through the assault will be a tricky proposition, but there is a large building to your right that you can enter if you need cover. There’ll be a soldier with a shotgun on the top floor, though, so you may want to lead the way with frag grenades.
After busting into the next building, take a left and head into the door there to bypass the gunner around the corner. Head up the stairs, where you’ll start hearing more chatter from alpha team, indicating that the terrorists are cornered. Unfortunately, pinning them down in the control room will require you to head across the open platform between you and it, and a horde of terrorists are intent on stopping you. Walk out behind the numerous obstructions, drop some smoke in the middle of the area, position your team behind one of the wooden barricades, and go to town. Keep in mind that most of the wooden barriers here won’t stop bullets, so feel free to retreat back to the doorway if needed.
When you’ve crossed the area, you’ll come to the control room. Kill any soldiers inside, then size up the bomb. You need to send your team in to disarm it, but they’ll refuse to do so unless you’re standing away from them. Get underneath the flags first, then find one of the corners on that side of the room. The two shutters nearby will open up and reveal turrets when the disarming starts, so you’ll want to be out of their field of view. You may want to drop a smoke grenade directly on top of yourself before ordering the bomb to be disabled, or just liberally throwing them all around the room. When the bomb is disarmed, another ambush appears; survive it for a few seconds, and you should eventually automatically win the mission.
Old Vegas
Rooftops
Equip yourself well here; you’ll want a close-quarters SMG, of course, but you might also want an assault rifle with a 6x scope, if you can find one.
Make your way across the rooftops and into the building nearby. Eventually you’ll come to a room with two entrances that your handler will jabber about. Set your boys up for a flash and clear while you head outside and take out the soldier outside the windows. At this point, have your soldiers move to the doorway exit from the room that leads outside while you take the nearby ladder up to the rooftops. If you have a weapon with a decent scope, you can start picking off opponents from long range here for extra marksmanship points.
As you make your way to the railing of the rooftops, have your soldiers enter and clear the lower area while you offer up your gunfire from above. You should be able to clear out the area relatively easily with your team supporting you, then rope up and descend into the building below you; check your map for rope spots if you can’t see them.
Eventually you’ll pass through a basement area and hear Neville’s cover getting blown. Defeat the enemies and head out to the rooftop. There’s a rappelling point directly to your right; if you can shoot the snipers on the far buildings, it’ll probably be the best way to reach the lower level below you.
Fight your way through the building here until you reach Neville’s position. Climb the ladder to the rooftop above his little holding area, then breach through the skylight. You can’t save Neville, so don’t worry too much about it. Break the skylight with smoke grenades, send your teammates down, and snipe the enemies from above before following yourself.
There are two exits from Neville’s room. Set your teammates up at one of them, snake the door, tag some terrorists, then head back for the other exit by yourself. You can feel free to set your ROE to fire at will, and thus use either a breach or frag-and-clear maneuver to pop off the first few enemies. There are more below you, on the lower level of the casino, so you’ll have to be somewhat careful when proceeding to the stairs; all of the railings and slot machines will make it difficult to see enemies below you. At any rate, you need to get downstairs via one of the two stairwells and proceed to the main rear door of the casino.
Garage
The parking garage here will be the scene of another ambush, so move your soldiers up a bit before the soldiers come in. You may want to send them up the left side of the area as you proceed up the right side. There are a ton of enemies in here, and most of them are behind pretty solid cover, so make the most of your grenades and smoke grenades as you proceed.
As you pass through the last tunnel, you’ll overhear more terrorists talking about your approach. You can send your team to stack up at the door nearby; they’ll kill one or two terrorists as they walk by the mouth of the garage, and then you can have them breach and clear into the small room there. You’ll need to clear out the street beyond the garage as well. A clear maneuver from the other side of the small room will help flush out any remaining enemies.
After hitting the checkpoint, you’ll head into a construction area. There’s plenty of cover here, so there’s little reason not to send your team in first, but be careful of snipers and the odd frag grenade that’ll be coming your way. You’ll probably have a couple of cheap deaths in here unless you get pretty good at hearing that soft landing sound of a frag grenade.
Sweatshops
Beyond the construction site are the warehouses and sweatshops where Cabrero is manufacturing his explosives. After passing through to the parking dock, you’ll come across a young woman who is key to your moving on through a nearby gate; if she dies, you have no hope of moving on. Keep her alive by telling her to stay put near where you found her, then have your soldiers breach and clear through the door at the top of the ramp. Heading around the corner is suicide, thanks to a turret gunner and a sniper on the rooftops. Stay in the garage as best you can and attempt to flank your foes before taking them out.
After clearing out the garage, have your new friend open the gate. She’ll move around to the door and attempt to lure one of the soldiers there out into the parking lot. Wait for him to come out and drop him quickly! This will probably lure out a few more soldiers if your suppressors are off, but either way you’ll need to clear out the warehouse. There’s a small room in one corner of it with more hostages; quickly move to the door and order a flash and clear to rescue them.
With that done, move out to the next warehouse. In the first small room, you’ll find a door on the ground floor and a ladder leading upwards. Have your team stack up on the door while you head up the ladder. After clearing out the small office, order a breach and clear, then sneak out onto the walkways up top and support your team with fire from above.
Head out from there into the loading bay, where more soldiers will appear. Your team can hopefully take a few of them out if you tell them to hide behind the truck here, while you sneak around to the left and get up around the corner and use your grenades to flush out any stragglers. You’re almost at the end of the level, so feel free to use up all of the grenades that you have, if you like.
The last room is inside the warehouse. Stack up your soldiers at a door and have them flash and clear while you move around to the rear and fire through the windows at the soldiers as they take cover. When these soldiers are down, head outside to meet with the helicopter and move on.
