Kill 40 enemies with M66 SMG

There more then enough enemies on this mission to spare to kill with your M66, especially near the end of the mission.

Rescue the Helghast hostages

Total number of Hostages: 6

• 1: Under the landing platform where you landed at the start of the missions 
• 1: After you finish "Stealth the lower roof" objective and just enter the building through a hole, before you jump down to the ground floor in another hole. Next to the hole that lead to the ground floor to the courtyard, the hostage is behind the doorway on the second floor that can look down to the courtyard. (beware of mines)  
• 2: After you finish the "Get through the interior courtyard without triggering a proximity mine" objective and enter the building. The hostages is upstairs on the opposite side of the stair. (beware of mines on both side, surrounding the hostages)  
• 2: When you arrive at the front of the Embassy lobby area (where you can see the front gate outside the building), go up stair.  

Stealth the lower roof

Above is a self-made text map of the rooftop and the order you should kill the enemies in.

[0] is the sniper and should be killed with your M66 from above with a headshot. Do not jump down to where [0] position yet after you kill [0] and head back up to Back Jack and switch your gun to M33. Wait a bit so the dead body of [0] disappear, and when it does jump down to [0] position.

From [0] position, you can head shot [1], [2], & [3]. Remember [2] must be kill exactly where it is written on the map or he be spotted as a dead body.

Jump down from [0] position but have your back still touching the wall, head shot [4].

Next head toward near where you took out [2] and finally headshot [5] and [6].

Get through the interior courtyard without triggering a proximity mine

This objective start the minute you on the ground level until you enter the opposite side of the building.

The objective will not hold against you if you blow up any mines up from where you save the 2nd helghast hostage where you can look over the courtyard, because the objective did not start yet.

Just have and activate the Van-Guard: X3-JMR and you can walk through the courtyard, there will be no more mines once you reach where the Black Jack supply is. Just don't shoot or try to blow up any mines once on the ground level when the objective is activated.
