Friend or Foe? walkthrough
Meet Chen at Chase Point
Read Hsin’s email and head for the warehouse at Chase Point in Industrial. Chen, one of Hsin’s men, is waiting there. He explains that Hsin has authorized them to do whatever it takes to get the Korean gang’s files, so they will start by collecting some explosives. Chen is not exactly impressed with you, but he drives the plan, and you follow him to the van.
Collect the explosives
Get into the van and drive to a back alley in Industrial to collect the explosives. You have to get out of the van to pick them up, then climb back in. Then drive to the Korean gangsters’ hideout and keep the van in one piece, because you need it later.
Blow the wall
At the building, Hsin’s men take position at the entrance while you plant the charge. Get out and go to the market area to set the charge, which is a memory minigame. The explosion blows a hole in the wall, and Chen and the other man walk in. Climb back into the van and reverse it up to the hole.
Hold the compound
Then guard the entrance to the back alley from the cover of the wall. Gangsters roll up in cars and get out to try to enter the alley. Molotovs and a sword work well against them. Watch the radar for a second group that enters from the opposite side. Once Hsin’s men have the safe loaded, jump back in and leave.
Back to the warehouse
Drive the safe back to Chase Point. Expect only weak resistance on the way, and ignore the Koreans’ cars. When you reach the garage, a touchscreen minigame lets you crack the safe: put the stethoscope on it and turn the dial until it beeps, then turn the opposite way for the next number. There are three numbers to find. Chen reads the files and finds your name is not in them, which will disappoint Hsin. He lets you go with a warning, and you answer in kind.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- The van is destroyed
- Chen or Hsin’s men are killed
After the mission
The files do not incriminate you, and the mission ends with Scrambled opening up from Wade Heston.
