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.

Get used to letting your teammates take the initiative in going through doors.

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.

Smoking up this area before the ambush occurs will help you survive.

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.
