Special Operations are bonus missions you start through Lola Tafalla, set on separate maps outside the main island. Each one has you steal a PG-240X chemical weapon, keep it from overheating and survive the escape.
Lola drops you at a fixed point. You get through the area to the cooling unit holding the PG-240X, kill the target carrying the key card and take the weapon. You carry it back to where you landed, then hold off enemy waves until the area is clear and Lola picks you up.
The current missions are Mesozoico, Maceo, Cocodrilo, Los Tres Santos and Puerta del Edén. A sixth, Malagua with Danny Trejo, was removed on December 16, 2022.
