3 The Bureau: XCOM DeClassifieD GaMe GuiDe the invasion After the cutscene Carter wakes up in the hotel room. Apparently the gunshot wound is now healed. Curious. There isn t actually much to do in this room. However, when you approach the burned lady Carter will comment on it. Carter also comments on the briefcase on the floor by the coffee table. Exit through the only door at the far end of the room when you re ready. When you re out the door head straight down the hallway and take a left. After taking a left sprint down the hallway and take cover under the windows immediately. There s a gunship right outside the window that will kill you if you aren t in cover. Shimmy to the right. Make sure to get used to crossing gaps as I found it very important to maintain movement while in cover throughout this game. Continue to the right, remembering to cross the gaps while in cover, and then when you re out of sight of the windows cut to the right and go through the door on the left. Once inside go left and vault over the filing cabinet. Head further down the hall way and then take a right and go down the stairs. You can cut a left at the bottom of the stairs or go 3

4 straight but you re heading towards the next doorway ahead either way. Once inside the cafeteria go straight (towards the fallen vending machine). You can explore a little if you want (it s safe) but there s not actually anything to get in here. From the vending machine head left into the room with the pool tables and then to the right through the door ahead there. From this hallway head to the right. Head outside the door ahead. Again you re in a bigger open area but there s still (realistically) no cause for alarm yet. You can explore if you want, but there s really nothing to find here. So, when you re ready, go towards the crashed plane and watch a short cutscene. An agent went inside the building ahead- he could be a valuable ally during this invasion. When the cutscene ends you will be attacked. There isn t any strategy to use yet beyond just kill them. Shortly after confronting the first two Sectoids three more will come at you from over the roof. A little after confronting them you will have 3 more come at you over the roof as well. In total there are 8 Sectoids (this second wave is the last). Once they re all dead vault over the plane wing and head into the door just ahead (the one the agent slammed shut). Head to the left and through the doorway at the end of 4

5 The Bureau: XCOM DeClassifieD GaMe GuiDe the hall. There is nothing in the room on the right side. You ll meet Agent Nils, who teams up with you, in here. When you re ready to continue just pick up the radio reciever on the desk next to Nils. In true Gears-esque fashion when Carter uses the radio he will only walk at a slow pace. You are, however, free to move on still- it will just be slower until he s done talking on the radio. There s nothing more in this room so go around the front desk and head through the door in the back. Take a left at the door and go up the stairs. Then head left into the next room. Before you go through the door where Nils is standing there s a glowing picture on the desk that you can pick up on the right. There s nothing else in here so head out the door where Nils is. Take a right to go outside and head left down the stairs. Head across the lot towards that staircase and head up. This will trigger a short cutscene. After the cutscene head to the left inside the building. Right next to the entrance is an M14 you should pick up. If nothing else always pick up new weapons so they are added to your armory. This will be important later. Right now you only have a.45 so it is a good idea to use the M14. Directly to the left of the dead soldier that had the M14 is a button on the windows. Push it to open the door so 5

6 Nils can get inside from below. This will trigger a short cutscene. The cutscene is basically telling you that you should know the battlefield and pick effective strategies. Flanking is mostly what they mention. My biggest tip is to always be moving around while in cover. You ll understand why later in the game. When you re ready to continue open the window. You can pick out targets from here. They re just Sectoids so it doesn t require much strategy to take them out yet. You have high ground as well as having Nils below, anyway, so it shouldn t be difficult. When all the Sectoids are taken care of head to the left and open the door. Head down the cat walk towards Nils who is standing by the next door. Open the door to move forward. Then head right and jump down into the pit and head to the left from there. Head outside and you will probably see a Sectoid dragging off a soldier. You can try to kill it but I don t know if you can or not- I wasn t able to. Head around the crashed jet and towards the tank all the way on the other side. From the tank head to the right into the pit ahead- be careful not to get involved with that gunship fighting the tank ahead. There is ammo by the dead body just before you drop down if you need it. Dropping into the pit triggers another cutscene. 6
