MaceoMaceo is a Special Operation in a sealed-off town wrecked by a mudslide and a poison spill. You slip in through the evacuation area, take a key card from the airbase commander and steal the PG-240X stored at Omaja Airbase.

Good to know

Mastery 3 gives you only 3 lives and fills the map with Special Forces and Commanders; the game suggests rank 18.
Maceo sends you through a town ruined by a mudslide and a poison spill, then into Omaja Airbase.
You need the key card from Captain Ramón Gallegos at Omaja Airbase before you can take the PG-240X.
The PG-240X does not heat up in shade, while sun and fire speed it up; water cools it, so shoot holes in water barrels as you go.
0.5% of Steam players have it.

How to unlock it

1. Talk to Lola to open Special Operations and pick Maceo. 2. Set the difficulty to Mastery 3. 3. Get the key card from Captain Ramón Gallegos at Omaja Airbase. 4. Carry the PG-240X to extraction, keeping it cool. 5. Hold off the enemy waves until you are pulled out. The trophy pops when the run succeeds.

Tips

Gallegos sits inside a working airbase, so take out alarms before you go for him. The run back out is long; mark water sources on your first Standard run so you know where to cool the canister.

Before you try it

Clear the operation on Standard and then Mastery 1 and 2 first. Each step adds tougher troops and takes away lives, so you learn the route and the shade before the stakes are high. Bring armour-piercing ammo for Special Forces, and a co-op partner if you can.
