XP: 175

Reach Bridge

Head off the convoy by traveling through the mountains to reach the bridge checkpoint.

Money: $800 (on the high road after the patch forks).

Defeat Al-Samad Lieutenant

Boss battle: You have to fight Shaheed's 2nd-in-command, a hulking brute who is toting a gold-plated assault rifle ($40,000 resale in the Clearinghouse). This is still a relatively easy fight, and players who have chosen stealth/martial arts can take him on in hand-to-hand with no particular fears. Additionally, if you make it to the bridge without alerting his suspicion then you simply push him over the side of the bridge into the path of the car with no battle.

Destroy Stryker

Destroy the Stryker Assault Vehicle protecting the missile convoy.

Boss battle: Blow up the Stryker Ali Shaheed is riding in. There are missile launchers at various points on the battlefield. Timing your movements between the Stryker's machine gun volleys and rocket fire, sprint to each one in turn and fire at the Stryker (be careful - while you may be able to target the Stryker, standing too close to cover may 'catch' the missile, killing you).

XP: 300

After defeating the Stryker, you will confront Shaheed and have a chance to influence your reputation with him.

  • Interrogate (first, or second if Suave or Professional picked first, Aggressive node) Shaheed -1
  • Provoke (second, or third is Suave or Professional picked first, Aggressive node) Shaheed +1
  • Curious (second Suave node) Shaheed +1

If you found data Investigate Jizan Weapon Stockpile mission you will recieve +1 reputation with Shaheed.

In the conversation with Shaheed, there are three choices: Letting him escape, arresting him or executing him.

Letting him escape

  • Shaheed informs you of Halbech's sale of the missiles to him.
  • Before the Investigate the Ruins mission in Rome you may contact Shaheed, doing so causes the Al Samad troops in the first stage of the level to treat you as an ally, letting you walk straight through. However, the remaining troops in that mission will consist of Deus Vult agents.
  • In the final story arc, full circle, Shaheed broadcasts evidence of Halbech's sale of missiles to him (This likely only occurs if you are on good terms with him, investigation needed)
  • Dossier: unlocks a secret fact about Shaheed in his dossier.
  • Perk: Stay of Execution
  • Reputation: Shaheed +1

Arresting him

  • Shaheed informs you of Halbech's sale of the missiles to him and then dies in the missile strike.
  • Dossier: unlocks a secret fact about Shaheed in his dossier.
  • Perk: Stay of Execution

Executing him

  • You do not recieve the information of Halbech's sale
  • Perk: Desert Spear Can be gained at the next meeting with Shaheed along with the Unfinished Business Perk (if you choose to let him go, and contact him before the Infiltrate Alpha Protocol mission at the end.

Regardless of your choice, you are contacted by Mina Tang, who warns you that there are missiles inbound to your position. You have the chance to influence your reputation with her after a shot cut scene.

  • Suspicious (third Aggressive node) -2 Mina
  • Grateful (third Suave node) +1 Mina
  • Mina (Miscellaneous node after Name Suspect) -2 Mina

You will learn that you have been declared rogue, and intelligence agencies worldwide have been advised. Michael will head to a safehouse in Greece to regroup and plan his next move.

Optional objectives

Upload Data

Access the terrorists' servers in the control tower basement and upload the data to the CIA.

Money: $7,500

XP: 200

Disable Security

Find a way to disable the security systems in the warehouse.

XP: 100

Avoid Detection

Kill Shaheed's lieutenant without being detected.

XP: 350

Destroy Missiles

Destroy all of the trucks carrying the Halbech missiles.

  • This is somewhat bugged; the second truck cannot be struck by missiles or (seemingly), grenades. However, it is possible to shoot it's gas tank while still under cover from the Stryker. Although, it's very tricky and you can go through a lot of ammo trying to find the right place to shoot it. Suggest to just leave it alone and save the ammo. Unless you have lots and lots left over from the respawning ammo spots and don't care if you lose that much. Will be easier to find if you play through the game again though.

XP: 100

Choices and consequences

Consequences of previous missions

If you killed Shaheed's elite guards the last time you were at the airfield there will be less troops when trying to reach the convoy.

If you killed or arrested Nasri the terrorists will be poorly armed.

Consequences in following missions

  • Keeping Shaheed alive will make the Investigate Ruins Transmission mission in the Rome hub easier. With Shaheed's help, the Al-Samad cell in Rome will be told not to attack you and let you through. However, while the whole mission will have Al-Samad troops if you kill Shaheed, only the first few troops will be Al-samad if you decide to spare him, the rest of the enemies will be Marburg's men. This change in enemy troops does not have a big impact however, as the mission objectives will stay the same.
  • Along with the gold-plated AR, the Al-Samad Lieutenant's glass eye will be taken as a trophy and can be interacted with in the Russian safehouse.
  • Sparing Shaheed will unlock the Contact Sheikh Ali Shaheed mission in the last hub.

Notes

  • Killing or sparing Shaheed gets you an appropriate achievement.
  • You might want to wait until you get to your next safehouse and complete your first mission before going on a shopping spree at the Clearinghouse, as this is when new items and new suppliers unlock.
  • Alternatively, you might want to stock up on weaponry and items of Saudi Arabia before starting this mission, as they are of good quality, yet unavailable after finishing this mission, and it can take a while before equally good gear unlocks again.
  • Explosive grenades spawn infinitely during the STRYKER battle.
