Kuala Lumpur, BASEMENT KILLING (Mission #10) - Discussion Thread

47 — this is Agency, Diana here. So far no news on Father Vittorio, but we got a neat little mission for you in Malaysia.*

In Kuala Lumpur, you will find the headquarters of a very talented hacker and kleptology expert, Charlie Sidjan — he has managed to steal an extremely valuable piece of software.

It works as a key signature in military software, and was until recently the exclusive property of the US government.

With this nifty piece of software in the hands of an adversary, any incoming missile will be detected as American, which renders an otherwise clever missile shield worthless.

Our client wants to retrieve this piece of code and exterminate Charlie Sidjan and all records of this code.

He is running his business under cover of a company called Carniwarez Inc. Computer Systems. Their network is completely sealed off and inaccessible.

Your objective is to assassinate Charlie Sidjan and place a small dongle on the main server of Carniwarez Inc. Computer System.

This device will allow outside access to the systems.

There are guards with intercoms everywhere, closed circuit surveillance of all areas and elevators, metal detectors and reinforced steel doors with electronic locks. Your target is in the 2nd basement.

Continue from there with the direct elevator to Carniwarez main office. You will have to shut down some of the surveillance systems by the elevator.

The only visual ID we got is the footage of Charlie. It’s from his 6th birthday. From what we know, you should be able to recognize him from this.

Get your equipment in locker no 137. Find Charlie Sidjan in the basement area. Kill him and access Carniwarez by the direct elevator.

Objectives

  • Find and kill Charlie in the basement.
  • Disable the surveillance system for the direct elevator

After the very long stint in Japan, we have a flight to Malaysia to take out Charlie Sidjan. Should be a one and done thing, right? Nope! Turns out that there’s a twist!

What are your thoughts on Basement Killing? How do you normally take him out?

Basement Killing is up there as being one of the GOATs in H2SA. Like with the other great stages, it contains various methods to reach the target. There are two main obstacles going in: the metal detectors and the guards in the security room before the target.

The smoke bomb is a great way to overcome both issues, as that will clear out the security room and also give you an excuse to get in there as a firefighter fully armed - quite literally! You can even carry a massive sniper rifle through when dressed as a firefighter as the game doesn’t bother to check as to whether you’re carrying a fire axe or an overtly illegal weapon!

Whilst the firefighter is my own personal favourite approach, I have to give a quick nod to the delivery guy costume. Less panic overall and feels more assassin-like, even if it requires a bit more effort to successfully pull off.

Banger stage. I just wish you could destroy the computer with an axe!

Can’t wait to explore this mission. It was one of my favorites as a kid. I think this was one of the first missions (along with traditions of the trade) where the stealth/SA approach really clicked and made me want to play the real way with the firefighter thing and all that. I also sometimes like to bring the M60 into a replay of this mission and destroy everything that moves DOOM style haha

I remember the potato chips giving you away and the .22 you could smuggle through metal detectors :slight_smile:

True, although his reaction is so slow that you can run up to him before he sounds the alarm!

Yeah, it’s a great mission. I wish the level was bigger though as I just want to explore the whole building!
