Burning Bridges walkthrough

The Mendez mansion

Go to the mansion on Prawn Island, where the Mendez brothers are playing chess. A long conversation with Armando about the Vances’ dealings follows. When the scene ends, Vic and Lance are at the airport fuel depot and a fire has started, with Lance trapped behind the flames.

Back into the depot

Flames cut Vic off from Lance and gunmen are stationed in the yard. Head back toward the depot, shooting the guards you meet. A gauge in the corner shows the pressure in the tanks, and you do not have long before it fills, so keep moving and ignore any guards behind you if the path ahead is clear.

Shutting off the valves

Inside, shoot the valves to turn off the oil. Each one is marked by an arrow above it, and a message counts down how many are left. Some valves sit behind pipes and tanks, so move around until you have a clear shot. Switch to a rifle for the distant ones and shoot the remaining guards when they get in the way.

Out of the depot

When the last fire is out, find Lance and get him to the exit. A final timer starts, so run for the gate and use the bike parked near it if you like. Do not stop to fight. Get away before the depot explodes.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • Lance dies.
  • You are not far enough from the fuel depot when it explodes.

After the mission

There is no cash payment. Blitzkrieg Strikes Again opens once seven businesses are taken over.
