🗺️ Main Story Walkthrough
Tick off each step as you go — your progress saves locally, no account needed.
You play as Dani Rojas on Isla Santuario, a coastal tutorial island under iron-fisted FND control. The opening sequence introduces core mechanics — crafting, FND base captures, and stealth takedowns — as you help Clara Garcia's Libertad guerrillas reach the docks. After a harrowing boat escape collapses your plans, you are pulled back into Yara and formally join the revolution. Before leaving Santuario, dismantle every FND checkpoint you can reach; the pesos and weapon parts fund your first Resolver upgrade at Montero Farm. Pay attention to the tutorial on Supremo backpacks — they are your most powerful tools throughout the campaign.
Reaching the main island, Clara sends Dani to build out Libertad's central camp on the outskirts of Madrugada. Construct the Hideout Network, Bandidos Operations board, and at minimum one workbench early. The workbench unlocks weapon modifications and the Resolver crafting station for unique guerrilla weapons. Talk to every camp NPC — each unlocks a separate recruitable Amigo animal companion. Chorizo the sausage dog, unlockable via the Montero questline, is the best early-game distraction tool. The camp upgrades gate later story missions, so invest resources here before rushing into regional operations.
Madrugada, the western tobacco heartland, is governed by José Castillo — Antón's nephew — who has enslaved local farmers to harvest Viviro, the cancer-treating drug derived from PG-240X-laced tobacco. Align with the Montero family, clearing FND road checkpoints and liberating key agricultural zones to build guerrilla momentum. The mission Blood Ties and Open Skies progressively weaken José's air power. Resolver weapons like the Tostador flamethrower shred infantry guarding the plantation strongholds. The region climax, Justicia Montero, has you destroy eight Viviro tobacco fields and then shoot down José Castillo's attack helicopter using anti-aircraft Supremo rockets — aim for the rotor assembly for fastest kills.
Valle de Oro sits in central Yara and is shaped by propaganda — Antón's cultural machine broadcasts relentless pro-regime messaging across the region. Recruit rap duo Máximas Matanzas (Taliá and Paolo) to use music and pirate radio as weapons. Missions like Radio Libertad and Hype Bomb task you with hijacking FND broadcast towers — use the Exterminador Supremo's homing rockets to quickly neutralize rooftop AA guns before ascending. The Break the Chains mission frees enslaved Yaran workers from a fortified sugar mill; the Volta Supremo's EMP disables the alarm systems silently. Complete every Yaran Story side quest in this region for the El Peñon de la roca trinket, which improves Supremo charge rate.
El Este's mountain jungle is home to two rival guerrilla factions: Jorge “El Tigre” Aguilar's veteran Legends of '67 and Yelena Morales's younger La Moral. The regime's enforcer here is Admiral Aña Benítez, who commands a naval fortress. You must broker trust between both groups through separate mission chains before they will unite against Benítez. Equip the Triador Supremo for its target-marking ability — it reveals every enemy inside buildings, critical in the jungle's dense foliage. The climax sends El Tigre's veterans charging the admiral's island while Dani infiltrates her command tower and eliminates her directly in close quarters.
Between regional story missions, systematically liberate FND military bases to raise each area's guerrilla rank, which unlocks better enemy loot tables and fast-travel points. Each base has a Weak Point — kill the commanding officer first to drop reinforcement call frequency. The Resolver weapons are the campaign's most distinct armaments: El Muro's ballistic shield absorbs tank rounds, the Zeusito EL delivers electric chain damage ideal for grouped infantry, and the La Varita is a powerful rifle unlocked from a hidden quest chain. Craft Depleted Uranium ammo using materials from FND armories for +50% armor penetration against helmeted elites. Use the Bandidos Operations board at camp to passively earn rare crafting components overnight.
Esperanza, Antón Castillo's fortified capital city, is the final major region and the most densely garrisoned area in the game. Street-to-street urban combat favors compact automatic weapons — the SSGP-58 with armor-piercing rounds clears FND riot shield units efficiently. Before the assault, complete the Triada Blessings questline to obtain all three Triada Relics, which unlock the La Varita rifle needed for the final showdown. Clara's united Libertad coalition attacks in waves; support their assault by destroying AA trucks and propaganda speakers scattered through the city districts. Expect helicopter gunships in the last approach to the Presidential Palace — stock Exterminador rockets.
The Lion's Den and the Battle of Esperanza are the final two missions. Dani fights through the Presidential Palace, defeating elite FND Fusileros and breaching Antón's last defensive line. The confrontation with Antón himself is narrative rather than a traditional boss fight — Giancarlo Esposito's performance drives a gut-punch conclusion involving Diego. For the best weapon loadout entering the palace: a silenced sniper for sentries, the Resolver Tostador for room clearing, and full Supremo charge. After completing the main story, all regions remain accessible for cleanup — DLC operations featuring villains like Pagan Min, Vaas Montenegro, and Joseph Seed become available and follow the same Supremo-driven combat loop.
⚔️ Boss Guides
José Castillo (Operation Justicia Montero)
Attack Patterns
José Castillo pilots a heavily armored FND attack helicopter above the burning Viviro tobacco fields of Madrugada. He strafes low with minigun fire in sustained passes, launches unguided rocket salvos that create wide ground explosion zones, and periodically calls in infantry reinforcements via drop-ship. His helicopter absorbs substantial small-arms fire and requires sustained rocket damage to bring down.
Strategy
Equip the Exterminador Supremo before triggering this fight — its homing rockets track the helicopter automatically, removing the need to lead a moving target. Use the burning tobacco fields as cover to break line of sight during minigun strafing runs, then step into the open only during his rocket-reload window. Fire two to three Supremo volleys per engagement window and retreat behind tree lines. Destroy any FND infantry reinforcements first with your primary rifle so they do not interrupt your aim during the helicopter phase. The fight ends in three to four clean Supremo engagements if infantry are managed promptly.
Admiral Aña Benítez (El Este Naval Fortress)
Attack Patterns
Aña Benítez commands from a fortified naval island accessible only by boat or helicopter. Her personal guard consists of elite naval infantry armed with shotguns and body armor. She does not patrol — she remains stationary in her command tower — but the tower's two lower floors are patrolled by three rotating guard pairs who radio command immediately if alerted. She is not a scripted combat boss but becomes a lethal high-alert encounter if the alarm fires.
Strategy
Use the Triador Supremo before ascending to tag every guard through the tower walls. Eliminate the two exterior roof sentries with silenced headshots before using the exterior grapple points to bypass the interior floors entirely. Enter through the tower's upper balcony door, which Benítez faces away from. A single stealth takedown ends the encounter cleanly. If discovered, the Volta Supremo's EMP burst stuns her escort long enough to finish her and sprint to the extraction boat waiting on the island's south dock.
FND Tank Column (Madrugada Checkpoint Assault)
Attack Patterns
Across Madrugada and Valle de Oro, FND tank columns form the toughest checkpoint obstacles. A standard column includes one main battle tank and two BMP-style armored personnel carriers escorted by four infantry. The tank's main cannon one-shots Dani from nearly any angle, and its turret rotates quickly enough to punish slow flanking attempts. Armored vehicles spawn reinforcement infantry when their hull reaches 50% damage.
Strategy
Always engage from elevation — hilltops and cliff edges overlook road checkpoints and remove the tank's cannon angle advantage. Fire two Exterminador rockets at the tank's rear engine block, which is visually marked by an exhaust vent on the hull. Immediately shift to the APCs before their infantry dismount. Use Depleted Uranium ammo in your primary rifle to punch through the helmets of dismounting FND elites. After the column is destroyed, loot the tank wreck for rare crafting metals used in Resolver weapon upgrades.
Sean McKay (Madrugada Yaran Story — The Missing Muse)
Attack Patterns
Sean McKay is an FND-aligned foreign asset holed up in a fortified compound in Madrugada. He relies entirely on his hired guard force — two snipers on elevated catwalks, four patrolling infantry, and a roaming patrol truck. McKay himself is unarmed and retreats to a panic room if the alarm fires, adding a secondary objective to breach a locked steel door before he can call for reinforcements.
Strategy
Approach from the northern cliff overlooking the compound to neutralize both roof snipers with silenced headshots before they can spot Dani. Drop into the compound via the northern wall, use El Muro's shield to walk through the remaining patrol's line of fire, and reach McKay before the alarm timer expires. If the panic room locks, plant C4 on the door — the explosive breach is faster than waiting for the scripted lock override. Grab the compound's intel cache after the confrontation for bonus Depleted Uranium crafting material.
Antón Castillo (The Lion's Den — Presidential Palace)
Attack Patterns
The final confrontation with Antón Castillo is the culmination of the entire campaign. The Presidential Palace approach is defended by elite FND Fusileros in full riot gear, rooftop machine-gun nests, and at least two helicopter gunships over the central courtyard. Antón himself does not engage in direct combat — the confrontation is a story sequence — but reaching him requires surviving the most intensive gauntlet in the game.
Strategy
Enter the palace from the eastern garden wall to bypass the front gate machine-gun nests. Use Exterminador rockets to eliminate helicopter gunships the moment they spawn over the courtyard — they will continuously strafe if ignored. The SSGP-58 with AP rounds drops Fusileros in one to two headshots through their riot shields. Ensure the La Varita is equipped and fully loaded for the throne room approach, as its unique bullet-ricochet mechanic clears the corridor's tight guard formations efficiently. Save Supremo charge for the final courtyard surge where four Fusileros rush simultaneously.
