Before you start

Fit out for a long gun fight by arriving with full health and armor. You spend most of the mission shooting from the air, so there is nothing to carry in beforehand.

  2. Gonzalez’s truck has stalled! Protect him!
  3. Destroy the roadblock.
  4. Defend Gonzalez’s guys protecting the airport entrance.

  7. Defend Gonzalez’s plane.

Farewell To Arms walkthrough

Diaz’s orders

Walk up to the group by the mansion’s lawn. Diaz is talking to Gonzalez about loyalty and tells you to escort him to the airport. Gonzalez leaves in a truck, and you board the helicopter waiting nearby to cover him from above.

Covering the truck

Once you are airborne, steer with the crosshair and shoot any vehicle that closes in on Gonzalez’s truck. The truck heads for the airport, so keep the camera on the road ahead and take out cars before they reach it. Switch targets quickly and aim at the drivers.

The stalled truck

On the way, the truck stalls and a gang moves in. Concentrate on the cars closing from the sides and on the men who jump out, because the truck cannot move until you thin them out. A roadblock then stands across the road, so destroy it to free the path.

The airport entrances

At the airport, Gonzalez’s guards hold the entrance and you cover them. Look for the arrows above the attackers and fire until the entrance is clear. A message then warns that the other entrance is under attack, so fly across and repeat the job there before the guards fall.

The runway

The Sharks break into the airport and head for Gonzalez’s plane. Shoot them as they cross the runway and clear any vehicle that tries to block the plane. Keep firing until the mission passes.
