Sharpshooters at Devil's Den

**Sharpshooters at Devil's Den** is the fourth mission in *History Civil War: Secret Missions*.

## Walkthrough

"Sharpshooters often came from humble backgrounds but possessed immense value
nevertheless. From out of nowhere, they took their deadly toll on
unsuspecting soldiers who had no warning their last minute on earth had
suddenly arrived."

Mission Briefing - Sharpshooters at Devil's Den:

"The Union Army has taken a strong position west of Gettysburg, at Little
Round Top. You must destroy their artillery positions situated on a ridge.
Between you and that objective, however, lays a rocky formation known as
Devil's Den. It's been reported that enemy sharpshooters are camping there.
Eliminate any enemy sharpshooters, and destroy enemy artillery."

The mission begins with General Lee instructing your unit to provide
assistance to second battalion at Little Round Top. You need to help them
survive so Confederate artillery can get into position and hammer the Union
army.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Kill the enemy snipers.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Follow your fellow soldiers straight ahead and run past the large rock on
the left side of the road. You should spot some soldiers using a felled
tree as cover from the snipers on the ridge to the left. Head over to them
to find the first wounded soldier in this mission. You objectives will
also update at this time.

Turn around and spot the two wagons on the road. Run to the left wagon to
find the second wounded soldiers in the mission.

From this location, take cover and begin killing the Union snipers on the
ridge above. This is an excellent location to earn headshots for the
"Sniper" achievement.

After killing a few of the snipers, the objectives will update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Defend your position.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

From the wagons or tree, follow the path to the right. There will be a few
tree stumps and a burning wagon. Several Union soldiers will begin to
attack when you reach this area. Defend yourself and after killing some of
the soldiers, the objectives will once again update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Eliminate the cannon crew.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Once all of the Union soldiers are killed, a Confederate soldier will go
running past you. Follow him and it will take you to a river.

Turn left and wade through the river until you reach a spiked barricade.
You should see a broken wagon and a dead horse in the distance. An
explosion is set off right behind them. Head over to the wagon and horse
to find some ammunition on the ground.

When you reach the horse, some soldiers will attack from down the river.
Kill them and walk to where they were standing. On the hill to your left
you should spot two more spiked barricades. Approach them and you will find
the hidden letter in the mission highlighted in red.

By now you should be taking fire from an area back where the horse was.
Return to the horse and move to the clearing on the left. There will be a
couple of Union soldiers that will attack from the rocks. Kill them and
take up a position to shoot the cannon crews on the hill in the distance.

Once they have all been killed, your objectives will update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Kill the artillery crew.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Walk down the hill to the clearing with the dead Confederate soldiers. As
you walk down, you should spot the large elongated rock on the left. Walk
behind this rock to find the third wounded soldier in the mission.

Head to the left to the broken wagon to find some ammunition inside of it.

While standing at the wagon, look North-east and spot that giant oak tree.
Run to the backside of it and sticking out of the bushes a little past it
will be the fourth, and final, wounded soldier in the mission.

With the fourth soldier revived, the objectives update to remove the bonus
objective.

Turn around and find the rock and downed trees and use those as cover to
fire on the attacking Union soldiers on the hill above the two dead soldiers.

Once you kill all the soldier on the hill, take aim at the artillery crews
on the hill in the far distance. Continue firing at the artillery crews
and eventually, when they've all been killed, the objectives will update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE:
- Retreat to a safe position.

Turn around and run to the tree wall in the west. Turn to the right and
follow those tree around down a large hill. Stay against the trees and
shortly before reaching the river, you should find the hidden picture in
this mission.

Run to the river and hang a left and follow the river back towards where the
dead horse is laying. Run through the barricade in the river to complete
the mission.

At the Level Statistics screen, at least two achievements should unlock.
"Gettysburg" for finishing the mission and "Captain".
