Investigate Jizan Weapon Stockpile is a mission from Operation Desert Spear set in Saudi Arabia.
Summary[]
An Al-Samad detention camp on the outskirts of Jizan had a spike in network activity, suggesting Al-Samad is stockpiling weapons there and possibly the Halbech missiles as well. Infiltrate the camp, search for weapons stockpiles, then find their communications hub and upload any information from their server to our databanks.
Available Intel[]
| Intel Type | Source | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Additional On-Site Acquisition (1) | Nasri | $3000 | Additional supplies added to the mission area. With a few dollars to grease the wheels, you can have Al-Samad's weapon supplier shuttle in more weaponry at bargain rates — which you can then swipe during your mission. |
| Additional On-Site Acquisition (2) | Nasri | $4 | Additional supplies added to the mission area. Seeing as Nasri owes you his life, the least he can do is send supplies to your mission site for you to procure — all for an insultingly low price. |
| Mission Intel | Anonymous | $3500 | Bonus objective added to the mission. Nasri's captor is offering information on items of interest located in the Al-Samad Jizan compound. |
| Mission Information | Anonymous | $3000 | Bonus objective added to the mission. Darcy's contact in the area is willing to provide you with special instructions on disabling the compound's security... for a price, of course. |
| False Attack | Anonymous | $1500 | Reduction in enemy strength in the mission. An American private military company is offering day contracts anywhere in the Mideast. For a small fee, the PMC will run a sortie not far from Al-Samad's location and draw out any alert staff — leaving only the second rate guards on duty when you show up. |
- Additional On-Site Acquisition (1) is only available before the Intercept Nasri the Arms Dealer mission.
- Additional On-Site Acquisition (2) is only available after the Intercept Nasri the Arms Dealer mission, and only if you opted to extort Nasri.
- Neither of the Additional On-Site Acquisition intel options will be available if you kill or arrest Nasri.
- Mission Intel is only available if Nasri is arrested.
If you buy the Acquisition (1) intel before doing the Nasri mission, and then extort him and buy Acquisition (2) after that, you can get a total of 4 intel for this mission. In either case, the intel seems to be bugged as nothing much changes and you don't receive any of the promised supplies. Still, it would be a good idea to purchase both if you're aiming for the Ready for Anything perk (buy the majority of all available intel in the game to gain +25 Endurance).

Find Alternate Access[]
Get to the main base.

Access Detention Cells[]
Go inside the Detention Cells building.
Zip down or sneak past the newly arrived guards and enter the building they've unlocked.
- XP: +50
Upload Security Data[]
Go to the main computer and upload data.
After you get inside, follow the tunnel and on your right you can pick a door lock, that will also auto-unlock the door below, and go downstairs to find a Duffle Bag with $2,000. There is also a Briefcase $1,500 hidden behind the stairs. After going up the stairs, in the next room there is a first aid kit on the wall and Duffle Bag with $2,000. As you get down deeper into the base, look for the old cells and bypass the keypad which will trigger the bonus objective.
- Money (Total): $5,500
Unlock Cells[]
Bypass keypad on the old cells.
You complete this bonus objective by unlocking the doors. Inside you will find 2 Briefcases and, with Mission Intel purchased, a laptop.
- Money: $5,000 - Laptop that only appears with Mission Intel purchased.
- Money: $1,500 - Briefcase #1.

Next, pick the lock on the door, and proceed towards the main objective.
Gather Detention Records[]
Search the detention center for the additional records.
You can complete an unmarked bonus objective here by picking the briefcase in the room on the right.
- XP: +100
Upload Security Data[]
Hack the main computer.
In the computer room you will find a first aid kit on the wall, a remote mine, and an incendiary grenade.
After you hack the main computer several guards will rush to the room. You can place mines near the closed iron gate before hacking it, which is where the guards will come from. If you don't have enough mines to take out all 5 enemies, then get ready for a fight. Sneaking past the guards is doable, but would require either Shadow Operative or quickly sprinting past everyone with Evasion + Silent Running.
- XP: +300
Rendezvous with Darcy[]
Leave the cell building.
- XP: +100
Secure the Landing Zone[]
Kill or knockout all enemies with rocket launchers.
You can deal with 4 elite guards with rocket launchers in stealth by always staying crouched, sneaking behind them and then subduing them (waiting 10-15 seconds for them to lose you, when necessary, if they detected you during your approach).
Also, there are several piles ammo scattered on the ground outside the building you exited.
- XP: +200
Board the Chopper[]
Get across the fence and inside the chopper.
After you dispatch 4 enemies with rocket launchers, Darcy will land the chopper and the reinforcements will appear. To reach the chopper, you can either climb one of the ladders near the gates and hop over them, or unlock the gates with the gate controls and walk through. You can take the enemies out first before escaping, or try and evade them. To evade, either run past them after stunning them with multiple flashbangs, which is risky, or use Shadow Operative and hop over the gate while invisible.
- XP: +100

Results[]
Agent Thorton was dropped off on the outskirts of the camp via helicopter, then infiltrated the camp utilizing cover in the local geography. After cutting power to the camp, he proceeded to enter the detention cells, where he accessed the terrorists' computer, gaining intelligence on Al-Samad in the region.
- Bonus Objective: Agent Thorton discovered detention records in the camp, providing more information on Al-Samad in the region.
- Bonus Objective: Agent Thorton thoroughly explored the cells beneath the camp for stockpiles, and his thoroughness was mentioned by Agent Darcy in his report.
Agent Thorton returned to the surface for extraction by helicopter. Cutting the power to the control center allowed Agent Darcy and a team to approach the camp and engage the terrorists.
If you already completed another mission:
- With the information obtained from the mission, Shaheed's location in Saudi Arabia has been discovered and the final phase of Operation Desert Spear is active.
- New Mission Gained: Intercept Shaheed and Recover Missiles
Choices and Consequences[]
Consequences of Previous Missions[]
- Depending on how you dealt with Nasri during Intercept Nasri the Arms Dealer, the price and availability of intel in this mission will change.
Consequences in Following Missions[]
- If you gathered detention records from the cells, it will give more info for your colleagues to analyze. If you don't immediately kill Shaheed in Intercept Shaheed and Recover Missiles, it will earn you +1 reputation with him, after he will compliment Thorton for being thorough in his search.
Notes[]
After the mission you will receive an e-mail from Darcy, which will differ depending on whether any alarm were sounded, as well as whether Mike took a lethal or non-lethal approach.
