A routine sniper shot turned into a fiery explosion as the bullet triggers a chain reaction with an oil barrel. From elevated overwatch to brutal stealth takedowns inside the facility, each encounter was handled carefully, leading to a tense approach toward a lower level where the objective likely awaited.
I circled back for the highwayman who had been patrolling the area in a truck, curious about what he had stopped to inspect. From a distance, I watched him lean over the side, checking something near a cluster of supplies.
The bullet struck, and instead of a simple takedown, a burst of fire erupted around him. An oil barrel nearby caught the blast, and within seconds the entire spot went up in a massive explosion.
I climbed onto a shipping container overlooking the chaos, expecting reinforcements to rush in and investigate. Strangely, no one came. The fire crackled below, but the rest of the facility remained still.
Moving closer to the main building, I noticed one highwayman shifting crates near the entrance while another stood guard at a mounted machine gun. I prioritized the gunner and dropped him before he could react.
Two nearby highwaymen turned toward the sound, realizing something was wrong as their ally collapsed.
As I approached the doorway, a highwayman suddenly stepped out. Instead of forcing a confrontation, I jumped down from the ledge and stayed low, making sure he would not spot me.
He eventually noticed the bodies I had left behind. The moment he bent down to inspect, I steadied my aim and eliminated him as well, ensuring the area outside was clear.
Inside the building, I spotted another highwayman who seemed to be heading in my direction. Before engaging, I used the photo mode to carefully observe his movement.
It turned out he was focused on something off to the side, not advancing toward me as I first thought.
Seizing the opportunity, I moved in silently. Before he could react, I executed a brutal stealth takedown, driving the knife under his arm and then up through his skull. He dropped instantly without a sound.
A sniper began moving toward my position, alerted by earlier noise. I stayed hidden, letting her close the distance.
She noticed the body behind me and hesitated. That split second was all I needed. I lunged forward and ended her with a swift blade strike before she could fire a shot.
Reaching the pink flare marker, I saw an open hatch leading to a lower level. A few highwaymen were patrolling beneath me. I suspected the package I was searching for was down there.
instead of rushing in, I decided to survey the remaining area first, making sure no other enemies were left to surprise me.
How about we continue in another post?
Thanks for reading my post.

The way you took the sniper shots, I can say you're a pro shooter in this game. Headshots are so satisfying in these games.
Those finishing animation where you stab your enemies body parts, look too cool. The way you stabbed I the eyes of that lady there, it was just mind blowing.

I'm curious, how do you decide which enemy to target first in these kinds of situations? And, did you plan all the stealth takedowns ahead, or did they come naturally while plying?
