Spetsnaz commander

There are a number of different ways you can deal with the Spetsnaz commander, and how you choose to play these scenarios will have an effect on your game down the line. You'll find him in the building at the far end of the compound, on the right.

The best way to get through with the least resistance is to skirt around to the building on the left and take out the soldier on the top floor. Then head across the map, through the trenches, and stop at the edge of the road. You can use the grate here for cover by crawling underneath. You'll be able to get eyes on the commander through the window directly opposite.

When the coast is clear, make your way around to the left side of the building, entering the back gate. The commander may leave the building for a short stroll, so this way, you can approach from the side without the risk of him walking right into you. You can hop though the side window to take him down.

The building is well lit, so avoid standing at the windows as you can easily be spotted by the patrols. There are a number of resources in here, so be sure to collect them all before leaving the area.

If you want to extract the commander, you'll need to drag him outside to use Fulton. The spot by the back gate where you entered is a good place to do this.

The Haoma is directly to the south of the bend in the road between Shago Village and Spugmay Keep.

This is what it looks like.

Secure the processed materials hidden in Shago Village

Either learn the whereabouts of the materials through interrogating the soldiers, or have a good old fashioned nose about to find them. Your mission objective will be updated as soon as you find the materials the mission objective is referring to.
