Phnom Penh ’86

Now that you’ve uncovered the thief’s hideout, Diaz lends you his helicopter to assault Prawn Island and collect the loot. As Lance pilots the chopper, you must use the heavy-duty M60 to clear a landing space. Your enemies try to shoot you out of the air, so work fast and watch the chopper’s damage meter.

Begin a continuous stream of fire (you have infinite ammo) and make tiny targeting adjustments to pick off the shooters. Also note the explosive barrels. Be sure you kill all shooters or Lance won’t move on. The first few waves of attackers are easy, so beat them quickly to avoid taking damage.

After you reach the backyard and tennis courts, shooters start hiding behind cars—blow up the cars to wipe them out. The final waves of shooters can inflict serious damage on your chopper, so blow them away with a non-stop hail of lead. Once you’ve cleared the immediate area, Lance sets you down next to the fortress.

Though you keep the M60, you should switch to an auto-aiming gun like the shotgun or Uzi before entering the hideout. Inside, your enemies wield wimpy TEC-9s and shouldn’t pose a serious threat, but don’t give them any opportunities. Work your way up the staircase, picking off enemies as you move.

Blast the guard at the top of the staircase, then step out onto the roof. Grab the briefcase and wait for Lance to pick you up. Once you make it back to town, you earn $2000 for completing the mission. Cortez’s final missions are now available.

Sir, Yes Sir!

Cortez asks you to steal a high-tech tank from an Army convoy, then stash it in a nearby garage before its self-destruct mechanism activates. Grab a car and a sniper rifle, then head for the radar blip. Prior to crossing the bridge, be sure to damage your car enough so it spews black smoke.

The soldiers and Barrack OLs protecting the tank are too tough to tackle head-on, so you must use a trap to temporarily clear a path to the tank. Once you approach the military convoy, go down the road and park your car in the street so it eventually blocks the tank’s path. This damaged car will serve as a crude bomb.
