Although Joanna stays in the chopper, she’s crucial to the
operation’s success and feeds you the information you need
to keep moving.
Brody Lukin
Chopper Pilot
Your helicopter pilot, Brody, drops you into hot spots without
breaking a sweat, and he’s known to crack the occasional
joke.

Move
You move your character using W, A, S, and D keys. This is what gets you
around the environment. Hold the Left Shift key to walk.

You can make your character stand or crouch by pressing the C key. This is
important in improving your accuracy and in making you less of a target.
4
Reload/Weapon Options
Reload
Press the R key to reload the weapon currently in use.
Weapon Options Menu
Certain situations call for specific weapon options. To access the Weapon
Options menu, press and hold the R key and make your selection using the
mouse. Here are the available options for your weapon:
• Laser: Laser sights allow for better accuracy without relying on the scope.
• Sound Suppressor: Suppressors let you kill targets without alerting nearby
enemies. They also reduce your damage against enemies.
• Rate of Fire: Rate of fire lets you switch between single shots, three-round
bursts, and fully automatic fire when these options are available.
Weapon Switch/Inventory
Take Weapons
Press and hold the E key to pick up weapons from the ground. This ensures

team to perform. Press the V, B, or N key to order the team to perform a
specific action. (See the In-Game Interface: Order Icons section for more
explanation.)

Pressing the left mouse button will fire the selected weapon as well as
mounted weapons.
Use Gadget
To use an explosive, press the Q key. Press the Q key again to trigger the
detonator.

Press the Space Bar to interact with certain objects, such as doors and rappel
points. Knowing where you can interact with the environment may give you
more options when storming a location.

Vision Mode
Press the Z key to activate Thermal Vision and the X key to activate Night
Vision.
• NVG: With night-vision goggles you can see better in darkness.

easily, as well as see through walls of a certain thickness/type.

menu. You can then use the mouse to select the vision device best suited to
the situation by moving it toward the desired selection.

Tactical Map
Hold down the Tab key to call up the Tactical Map on the screen. Releasing the
Tab key removes the map. The map not only reveals the lay of the land, it
shows you navigation points like ladders, doors, and rappel points, as well as
your next rally point. You can also use it to see enemies that your teammates
see, making it invaluable as a scouting tool.
Take Cover
Taking cover is a vital tactical tool for your survival. It allows you to seek
protection behind objects and walls and to see around corners and over
objects without exposing yourself to danger. From there, you can observe a
situation and plan ahead, direct your team, or blind fire to suppress the enemy.
Hold the right mouse button down near a wall or a cover point to switch the
camera to an exterior view of your character. Release the right mouse button to
return to first-person view.
Rules of Engagement

Assault and Infiltration modes.
Pause
To pause the game, press the Esc key.

Tag Terrorist / Tactical Map
Tag Terrorist
To help you plan and coordinate your assault with your teammates, you can tag
up to two terrorists as priority targets. To do this, aim at a terrorist and press
the T key. A red icon will appear above his head. This tells your teammates that
the terrorist you have tagged is their priority, leaving you to handle any
stragglers.
This is a crucial tactical skill that gives you two major advantages in any gun
battle – the element of surprise and control over the situation. Tagging
terrorists provides you with the following tactical advantages:
• It frees you from engaging the same target as your teammates.
• It allows you to handle specific threats, such as a terrorist guarding a bomb
or a hostage-taker.
• It works while using the Snake Cam or from behind cover, allowing you to
plan your assault better.
• You can use your teammates to distract the terrorists while you outflank
them.
• You can cover your teammates from potential ambushes while they take
down targets.
• Tagged terrorists show up on maps, allowing you to track their movements.
• You can designate targets during gunfights, giving you greater control and
room for improvisation.

IN-GAME INTERFACE
Tactical Interface
The Tactical Interface gives you greater control of your team, turning them into
an important tool in observing, planning, and carrying out your assaults.
Displayed in the Tactical Interface are three major components to help you
make fast and effective decisions:
• Team State: Displays your team’s current actions.
• Rules of Engagement: Displays the team mode for either Assault or
Infiltration.
• Order Icons: Displays the current available orders depending on the
environment.
Team State
Team state shows you exactly what your team is up to so you have a better
understanding of their current action and what you can do with them at a
moment’s notice.
Rules of Engagement
Rules of engagement allow you to decide whether your team operates quietly
and unnoticed or loud, hard, and fast. Change the rules of engagement by
pressing the G key.
• Assault: In this mode, your team will fire on the first target they see, hitting
the enemy before they can react, but generally attracting attention.
• Infiltration: Sometimes, the situation calls for covert action. That’s when
your teammates put sound suppressors on their weapons and engage
enemies only if engaged first. This is slower, but safer.

MENU
The Menu screen offers you the following options:
Profile Creation and Selection
Before you dive into the world of counter-terrorism you must either create a
new profile or select an existing one. Your profile contains all the important

Tactical Map
Picture-in-Picture
Joanna provides you with a live information feed throughout your missions
using Picture-in-Picture, your window into mission-critical events.
WEAPONS AND GADGETS
Weapons
You have access to the following weapons. Like any other tool in your arsenal,
weapon choice is another aspect of tactics, allowing you better control over a
situation.
• Pistols: You’ll find pistols useful when you don’t have time to reload your
main weapon or when shooting while rappelling.
• Submachine Gun: This close-combat weapon combines the automatic fire
of a machine gun with the ammunition of a pistol.
• Light Machine Gun: This support weapon generates a tremendous volume
of automatic fire at the cost of greater weight and higher ammunition
consumption.
• Assault Rifles: Use this weapon to neutralize targets in more open areas
through greater stopping power.
• Sniper Rifles: This weapon delivers single precise shots over longer
distances than other weapon types do.
• Shotgun: For the best in close-combat and defensive weapons, the shotgun
will serve you well with its shot range, low penetration spread, and high
stopping power.
Gadgets
A soldier is only as good as his tools and his training. Rainbow prides itself for
being the best in both. You have access to the following tools.
• Frag: This is your basic hand grenade, which is designed to shred its target
with a blast of high-velocity shrapnel.
• Smoke: This grenade releases a cloud of gray smoke that cloaks movement.
• Flashbang: This grenade produces a blinding flash and deafening bang to
confuse and disorient a target without causing serious injury. This is your
best tool for assaulting a room containing hostages.
• Breaching Charges: Use this explosive device against doors. A charge will
effectively destroy a door and kill anyone standing right behind it.
13
Order Icons
The Order icons allow for specific actions that do not break your team’s rules
of engagement. Once you send your team to a location, use the keyboard
arrows to select the action you want your team to engage in, even if you’re not
with them.

you to select a role during the game. Professions may include Demolitions

articles of clothing to lend a unique appearance to your character.

remote detonator.
• Tear Gas: Use this grenade to create clouds of irritants to impair the eyes
and respiratory system of anyone caught within its area of effect.
• Incendiary: These lethal grenades produce intense heat by means of a
chemical reaction. A single lit particle can burn through skin, muscles, and
even bone.
