Terminal Rescue

**Terminal Rescue** is a Hostage Rescue Operation. It takes place on the Airport map.

## Overview

Each player spawns in the far-right of the level in an underground room. They are equipped with a Honey Badger with the Suppressor and Laser attachments, along with a USP .45 with the Laser attachment. They also have 2 Flashbangs, with only 1 Flashbang available on Veteran difficulty.

On the ground is an M1014 shotgun with FMJ rounds, along with an M4A1 with the Laser attachment, and FMJ rounds.

There are 2 hostages in the mission to be rescued; one is located in the plane in the map's centre, while the other one is located at the far left in the small building's second floor.

The operation's primary threat, however, is a Reaper drone patrolling the air. It is equipped with missiles, with one being enough to kill the player instantly. However, it will investigate loud noises like gunshots, explosions, etc.

## Strategy

Upon spawning in the small room underground, take the M1014 from the ground. It is best to replace the USP .45 with it.

Next, climb up to the roof of the building above, and kill the enemy sniper with the M1014. Be warned that on Veteran, he will inject himself with a Stim Shot when on low HP. The M1014 will make short work of him, and stop him from using the Stim Shot.

The gunfire will attract 4 soldiers who are armed with AK47s. Head towards the ladder within the same building, then lure the soldiers to climb up the ladder. As they climb up the ladder, unable to shoot, kill the 4 soldiers with the M1014.

Once the soldiers are all killed, head down the underground terminal. In the middle are 2 Sentry Guns waiting for intruders, though they can be easily destroyed; simply throw a Flashbang towards the Sentry Gun at the lower level, then punch it while it's disabled by the Flashbang. Go around the Sentry Gun above and punch it from behind.

After destroying the Sentries, there is a machine gunner armed with a PKP Pecheneg. Go around him, and kill the soldier with the M1014.

Continue towards the left, and climb up into the first floor of the left building. To the smaller building on the right is a sniper and a soldier armed with an AK47. The soldier with the AK47 will strangely climb back and forth using the small building's ledge. Approach the door when the soldier is at the same height as the sniper, then shoot the explosive barrel behind the sniper to kill them both.

Once again, the gunfire will have created attention. The Reaper will fly over to investigate; fire into the ground to attract it. The Reaper will then fly into the same room as the hostage is, and it will slowly peek out of the room. Use the M1014 to shoot the underside of the Reaper, but be careful to not get blown up.

If need be, lure the Reaper over again by shooting the ground; the bullet impact will create attention. Repeat the above step until the Reaper is destroyed.

Once the Reaper is destroyed, climb into the hostage's room through the left. Use the shotgun to shoot open the door and kill the machine gunner behind it.

Then, climb down and into the plane using the 2 central ladderways. Kill the lone rifleman in the plane's cockpit and secure the other hostage in the plane.

From here, climb to the roof of the plane and use the M1014 to kill the sniper on the plane's roof.

If it is too risky to kill the sniper, avoid him by travelling throught the underground terminal.

Whichever option is chosen, take the hostages to the Rescue Zone before time expires, and the Operation is complete.

Another, more stealthy, method, is to replace the USP .45 with the M1014, then wait at the door holding the shotgun. On Veteran mode, enemies running from the left one by one will barge through the doors. You can kill them with the M1014 as soon as they open the door, then close the door and repeat until all the enemies are gone.

Same as above, use the Flashbang to disarm the bottom Sentry Gun, destroy it, then destroy the top one, shotgun kill the machine gunner.

Then you can proceed to the left building, Climb up the ladder that leads **inside** the building, then climb up the ladder to the left. You can jump directly through the window into the hostage room, and the door is closed, so assuming you don't make noise or fire guns, the soldier outside the hostage room won't notice, and you can extract the hostage from the room without the enemies ever knowing you were there.

The hostage can then be taken into the underground area. Run far ahead so he stops following you, then climb up the central shaft and quickly run into the airplane's right room using the ladder on the underside.

When ready, open the door and run to the sandbags. There is an enemy on the other side, he can be dispatched by shooting at him. You may end up hitting the hostage, but if you shoot fast, you can kill the enemy without killing the hostage. As long as the Reaper isn't hovering above, you can extract the hostage.

Run back down the central shaft and pick up the other hostage. Then run all the way to the right. Wait until the Reaper flies to the left side, then climb up and use the M1014 to kill the sniper. Then move the hostages to the Rescue Zone.
