Walkthrough
10 steps across 7 objectives
- Find a way out of the trainyard
Get into cover as soon as you step off the train and fight the first Shadow Company wave.
Don't fire into the crowd; killing a civilian fails the mission.
- Find a way out of the trainyard
Once the civilians are clear, push south between the trains, watching for snipers near the Entrepot Nord warehouse, and wait for the squad to breach its door.
- Go through the warehouse
Follow the squad upstairs, past the office and through the production floor, where they make a worker open the shutter.
- Get through the shipping yard
Clear the enemies spilling out of the containers across the tracks, then climb on top of the containers and jump across them after the squad.
Watch the container rooftops for snipers and the gaps for attack dogs.
- Head toward the maintenance building
Move southeast along the tracks, staying behind the train cars while Graves's helicopter fires rockets.
A marksman rifle like the MAR-9 lets you shoot the RPG gunner in the helicopter from cover. Shooting the helicopter only drives it off for a while.
- Get through the maintenance building
Grab grenades and armor plates before going in, then clear the two-story hall, checking the upper walkways and service pits.
Cars and the gas tank here explode when shot, so don't fight next to them.
- Take down Graves's helicopter
Outside, pick up the grenade launcher and follow Valeria up the stairs.
- Take down Graves's helicopter
Hit the helicopter with the grenade launcher until it goes down, using the boxcars as cover. Valeria resupplies you if you run dry.
- Defeat Graves
Graves walks out of the crash in heavy armor. Shoot him from range and throw a flashbang when he gets close.
Grenades and the gas tank do big damage to his armor.
- Defeat Graves
When the final scene gives you the fire prompt, shoot straight away. If you wait, Graves takes your gun and kills you.
Achievements
Kill 50 enemies while standing on train cars. Kills add up across the whole mission, so use the slow or parked cars in the first yard, the cars near the maintenance building, and the cars around the Graves fight.
Rewards for finishing
- Dallas Operator
Story recapSpoilers
Story
Four days before the invasion, Price has joined forces with Valeria Garza and is helping her cartel move a package toward Paris. At a French rail yard, Phillip Graves and Shadow Company are waiting for them, and Graves taunts Price over the radio the whole way through.
Price and Valeria fight through the yard, a warehouse and a container maze while Graves chases them in a helicopter. Price brings it down with a grenade launcher, but Graves survives the crash and keeps fighting on foot until he’s beaten.
Wounded, Graves offers to clear Price’s name in exchange for the case. Valeria warns Price not to deal and walks off, and Price shoots Graves. The game treats this as a pass-or-fail moment: if you don’t fire, Graves kills Price and you restart from the checkpoint.
