GRAW 2 Tips from Prima Games

The situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is intensifying, and you and your squad members have to be ready to get your hands dirty in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter™ 2. Use these exclusive tips from the GRAW 2 Prima Games Guide to keep the border peaceful.

You turned on your Intel Display, right?

Weapons
Most assault rifles and all sniper rifles have scopes. To switch to scope view, click the right analog stick. Clicking again cycles through increased magnification, when available, and then returns to standard view. When peering through a weapon's scope, hold down the left trigger to hold your breath. Always aim for the head to guarantee a kill. At medium range, you can also hold the Left trigger to enter precision aiming mode.

The SR A550 sniper rifle can be used against vehicles. If you don't have a satchel charge, you can shoot at it instead. It will take a lot of damage, so start firing as soon as you can track it. The Intel Display on your heads-up display shows the damage percentage of the truck. You did turn on the Intel Display right? Turn it on under Options, and then General Options to make sure there is data on enemies and friendlies on your HUD.

The chain gun takes a second or two to spin up to speed before it will fire, so you have to pull the trigger early. Because of this delay, it is always best to fire the chain gun in long bursts.

The MULE
You can use the MULE as cover, when there is none. It cannot, however, take much damage, so use it only as transitional cover, or it will be destroyed. Remember also to return to the MULE to stock up on medpacks if you use them up in combat.

Use the MULE for cover if you need to.

Mission Tips
In the mission Need Your Cojones, Son, the hill is a good alternative from which to clear the village since you have a marksman along. Have your team move to the southern edge of the hill and choose your targets. In Recon mode, give a snipe order. After taking the first shot, switch to Assault mode to help your team clear the village. You are at long range, so the enemy should rarely be able to hit you.

In Knock 'em Dead, if you are unable to surprise the enemies, throw a smoke grenade to generate concealment. Then you can activate your Night Vision Goggles so you can see through the smoke and take out the hostiles. Be sure to act quickly and switch back to regular view before the smoke dissipates, or you will be vulnerable.
