TABLE OF CONTENTS

IntroductionThe year is 2005. In the minds of millions, the conflicts of the 20th century havebeen forgotten. Relegated to history books or dusty archives. They are subjectsfor movies. Stories told by aging grandfathers that seem less and less relevantin the brave new world of global terrorism and vicious international conflict.But not everything that is buried is dead. Old hatreds still linger. Old mysteriesremain unsolved. And old enemies may yet rise again, re-energized andprepared to pick up the tools of modern terror to carry on their ancient battles.Only one bulwark stands between the world and terrors both new andrevisited: RAINBOW, an international task force dedicated to combatingterrorism in all its forms. A top-secret organization consisting of the bestcounter-terrorism operatives the United Nations has to offer. Rainbow is themost potent weapon in the world's arsenal. Backed by the most sophisticatedtechnology available, and trained to the limits of human capability, they are ourbest hope in the war against terror.They may also be our last.

OverviewIn Raven Shield, you lead an elite, international anti-terrorist unit code named“Rainbow”. You assume the role of mission commander, before and after eachmission and plan out every detail of their missions from the operatives andtheir gear to their exact paths and actions. During missions you lead from thefront by controlling any of the eight Rainbow operatives as they engageterrorists and save the world.Raven Shield contains fifteen missions linked together to form a singlecampaign. During missions the action gets intense and with “one shot, one killlethality” the world of Raven Shield is extremely unforgiving. As your skillssharpen, the missions get gradually harder to keep up the pressure.Remember, when Rainbow gets called in, it’s because it’s an extremelyimportant mission and all other options have been exhausted…hit’em hard andhit’em fast!

Information AreaThis area displays both information and lists of items. When youselect an operative it displays their history, skills, health status,and campaign statistics. Operative skills are as follows:• Assault – Affects how fast your reticule adjusts from

maximum inaccuracy to maximum accuracy with all weaponsother than sniper rifles

• Demolitions – Affects how fast you can plant and disarmexplosives

• Electronics – Affects how fast you can plant and disable electronic devices• Sniper – Affects how fast your reticule adjusts from maximum inaccuracy to

maximum accuracy with sniper rifles• Stealth – Affects how much noise you create when moving• Self Control – Affects how willing AI controlled characters are to shoot when

there is a good chance of missing the target. The higher the value the longerthey wait, and more accurate they become before pulling the trigger.

• Leadership – Affects the length of time between you issuing orders andteammates responding to your orders

• Observation - Affects how observant characters when computer controlledand how likely they are to see and hear other characters in the game

As play through the campaign your operatives get better and their skillsincrease. Even operatives you don’t take on a mission train and get slightlybetter with time. The number next to each skill is the operative’s current skilllevel, while the number in parenthesis is the total amount this skill hasincreased throughout the campaign.When you select gear, this area displays a list of all the gear available in thatcategory and information about currently selected piece of gear. There are twotabs in the lower window for weapons. The first shows a text description of theweapon, while the second shows statistics for the weapon. The lower the ratingthe worse a weapon is in a given category.• Range – Maximum range of the weapon• Damage – Amount of damage the weapon inflicts at point blank range• Accuracy – Base accuracy of the weapon• Stability – How stable the weapon is when firing (i.e. the more stable it is,

the less it jumps when you shoot)• Recovery – How fast the reticule recovers toward the center of the screen

Waypoints and PlanningYour current waypoint appears in your screen as a floating circle with its rangein meters. If your waypoint is not in view an arrow appears along the edge ofthe screen indicating the direction you need to turn to find it. If you planned aspecial action for a waypoint, such as Wait for Alpha Go Code or Throw a FragGrenade, it appears in the center of the screen when you reach the waypoint.Below your health and name are the current Rules of Engagement (RoE). RoEdetermine how your AI teammates engage the enemy and changeautomatically based on your planning as teams reach waypoints (see EngagingTangos and Rules of Engagement section).

Other Operatives in Your TeamIn the upper right of the screen is your team’s status. Each team member has ahealth icon that functions identically to your own. Below, is your team’s currentaction, such as Following and Engaging.

Other TeamsIn the lower right of the screen is information about other teams that you’renot currently controlling. This information includes team names, health icons,and their current actions. Glance at this information occasionally to make surenone of your teams is waiting for you to issue a go code before they continuemoving.

MapBy pressing the Toggle Map key (G), a full screen map appears in your screen androtates to match your characters facing. This map depicts your current position,all of your unachieved waypoints, and any tangos that you’ve spotted. To zoomthe map in is press the Zoom In Map key ([). To zoom the map out press theZoom Out Map key (]).

In-Game MenuYou can pause the game and bring up the In-Game Menu by pressing the In-Game Menu key(Esc). This menu displays statistics on all youroperatives including health status, kills, hitpercentage, rounds fired, and rounds that hittarget. It also displays your mission objectivesand their status.

> 21 <

In-Game Interface: HUD The Heads Up Display or HUD, provides you withthe information you need during a mission. Thisincludes data such as your health status and theamount of ammunition remaining for yourweapons. Because you can filter things out ofyour HUD (see Options: HUD section above) youcan press and hold the Show Complete HUD key(F1) to see everything in your HUD at one time.

Your OperativeIn the upper left of the screen are your operative’s stance (standing, crouching,or prone), health, and name. If the health icon is full you’re healthy. If it’s halffull you’re wounded and can no longer run. If it’s empty, it’s time to switch toanother operative.

Your Weapon StatusThe status of your weapon appears in the lower left of the screen. In the top ofthe box is an icon of your current weapon, along with its name and attachment.Below this starting from the left are your Rate of Fire (see Shooting: Rate of Firesection), rounds in the weapon, and magazines remaining. As you shoot, thenumber of rounds in the weapon decreases. As you reload and discard emptymagazines the number of magazines remaining decreases.

ReticuleIn the center of the screen is your reticule, which consists of two pieces: thecenter dot and the four moving crosshairs. The reticule represents the currentaccuracy of your weapon (see Shooting: Reticule section). Bullets you fire hitsomewhere within the crosshairs. The longer you wait before taking a shot, thecloser the crosshairs get and the more accurate your shot will be.

Action IconBelow the reticule at the bottom center of the screen is the Action icon. Whenyou point the center reticule dot at something in the environment that you caninteract with, this icon appears. The icon symbolizes what you and your teamcan do at this location (see Interacting with the Environment section).

What is My Mission?What do I do?Your mission is protect the innocent and stop the guilty. Rainbow only getscalled after all other options have been exhausted on situations ofinternational importance. That means when you go in hit hard and fast, but becareful what you shoot at. Shooting hostages and/or surrendered terrorists isnot acceptable. In fact, shooting hostages causes you to fail a missionautomatically.

Default Mission ObjectiveAll missions have a default objective, whether it is stated or not. This objectiveis to neutralize all terrorists. If you accomplish this objective you automaticallycomplete all remaining objectives. The only exception to this is on Reconmissions where you must remain undetected. Should you shoot a terrorist inthis type of mission you automatically fail the mission.

Who Else is in the World?You and your team aren’t the only ones in the world. There are three differenttypes of people you will encounter: Other Rainbow Teams, Terrorists, andHostages.Other Rainbow Teams

Switching Between TeamsWhen you plan a mission you have the option to field up to three teams. Thesecan contain up to eight operatives total. You can switch between teams byusing the Previous Team (Page Up) and Next Team (Page Down) keys. Whenyou’re not controlling a team directly, the team members follow their plannedwaypoint and actions. If they don’t have any waypoints they simply hold theirposition waiting for you to take control of them.

Go CodesOccasionally, teams you don’t control directly require orders from you. Thesesituations include teams waiting for Go Codes and Sniper Controls. Asmentioned in the Planning section above, Go Codes are a great way tocoordinate activities between teams. When teams reach waypoints withattached Go Codes they wait until you issue the appropriate Go Code. To issueGo Codes, simply press the appropriate key: Alpha Go Code (J), Bravo Go Code(K), Charlie Go Code (L), and Zulu Go Code (,). To know whether a team iscurrently “waiting for a go code” see the In-Game Interface: Other Teamssection.

How to PlayWho am I?My Role and Responsibilities

You are an elite Rainbow counter terrorism operative, trained to the limits ofhuman capabilities. In Raven Shield you play two unique roles: Mission Leaderand Individual Team Leader. As Mission Leader you are responsible for selectingyour teams, equipping them, and preparing a plans of attack. Once you begin amission you are responsible for issuing Go Codes and Freeing your snipers tofire when they have targets (see Controlling Other Rainbow Teams section).You also assume the role of one of the Individual Team Leaders with up to threecomputer-controlled teammates following you. You lead from the front and areusually the first to encounter the enemy. It’s up to you to decide how best toengage them, minimize your own casualties, and complete your mission.

Switching between Teammates and Team Hold

Behind you are up to three computer-controlled teammates. Each has their ownresponsibilities and sweep pre-designated areas for targets. When youapproach a door, your team automatically deploys around you to best coveryour entry into the room.Since each member of a team has their own capabilities and equipment, thereare times you may want to control them directly to best accomplish a particulartask. You can switch between your teammates by using the Previous TeamMember (Home) and Next Team Member (End) keys or by pressing and holdingthe Operative Menu key (7).You can also tell you team to hold position by using the Toggle Team Hold key(R). This allows you to leave you team behind, while you perform someespecially risky or sneaky maneuver. To have them reform on you again simplypress the Toggle Team Hold key again.

and beg not to be hurt. Hostages are physically and emotionally overwhelmedand otherwise not prepared for the situation they’re in. The only way to interactwith hostages is to rescue them (see Interacting with the Environment section).

Looking and Moving AroundTo look around the world move you mouse. This controls where you characterlooks. To move, use the Move Forward (W), Move Backward (S), Sidestep Left (A),and Sidestep Right (D) keys. You can move faster by pressing and holding theRun key (Right Mouse Button) at the same time as the Move and/or Sidestepkeys. Using the Run key, however, greatly increases the amount of noise youmake and also makes shooting accurately much more difficult.

Peeking and Changing StancePeeking is extremely useful for looking around objects without completelyexposing yourself to enemy fire. You can peek using the Peek Left (Q) and PeekRight (E) keys. You can also fluidly peek by pressing and holding the FluidPosture key (Left Control) and moving your mouse. This allows you to peek aslittle or as much as needed.When you’re trying to avoid being shot or detected it also helps to minimizeyour stance. The three stances you can assume are standing, crouching, andprone. To lower your stance, press the Stance Down key (X). To raise your stance,press the Stance Up key (C). You can also fluidly adjust your stance betweenstanding and crouching by holding the Fluid Posture key and moving yourmouse.While holding the Fluid Posture key your mouse changes your posture andpeeking only, and cannot be used to look around or aim. When you release thekey your posture and peeking status remain in their current positions andmouse once again allows you to look around. When you want to stop peekingand snap your stance to standing or crouching simply press the Fluid Posturekey twice.

Night Vision Rainbow is an elite unit and has access to all the latest technology. To helpRainbow operate at night and in darkened conditions, team members use nightvision goggles. To turn your night vision on and off press the Toggle NightVision key (5).

> 25 <

Sniper ControlsWhen a team reaches a Snipe Until Go Code waypoint (see Planning sectionabove) they stop and inform you if they have targets or not. If they have notargets you receive a message saying,“Green team, sights are cold.” If they havetargets you receive a message saying, “Green team, sights are hot.” If you wantthe team to fire on the target(s) you can free them by using the Toggle SniperControl key (T). From this point on they’ll shoot any terrorist they see. If youwant them to hold their fire simply press the Toggle Sniper Control key again.

All Teams Hold You can also tell all teams, including your present team to hold their position bypressing the Toggle All Teams Hold key (H). To have all teams resume themission and follow their preplanned waypoints, simply press the Toggle AllTeams Hold key again.

Call for Status ReportYou can ask your teams for a status report by pressing the Call for Status Reportkey (8). Your computer controlled team leaders respond with what they arecurrently doing and the number of team members out of action.

Terrorists

Terrorists, also known as “Tangos”, are the enemy.These guys must be stopped at all costs. Theyhave their own objectives, which usually involvehurting innocent people for political orideological reasons and/or destruction or theft ofproperty that doesn’t belong to them. Basically,there are only two ways to deal with Tangos: Stopthem by force if they’re armed (shoot them) ortake them into custody if they aren’t armed or have surrendered (seeInteracting with the Environment section).

Hostages

Hostages are the innocent people terroristsusually threaten to hurt. Hostages are panicky,unpredictable elements in an already wildly outof control situation. When they see you they tendto react in very unpredictable ways. Some run toyou or freeze in place, while others hit the ground

If you want to coordinate this order with another team, switch to another teamand issue another quick order on Zulu. Then switch to a third team, press theZulu Go Code key (,), and watch the fun.

Situations and Default Actions

Doors (Open/Close)• Open (Default) – You or your team move to the door, assume room

entry formation, and open the door• Open and Grenade – Same as Open, but the team throws in a

grenade once the door is open• Open and Clear – Same as Open, but the team rushes through door

to engage all tangos• Open, Grenade, and Clear – Same as Open and Grenade, but the team

rushes through the door to engage all tangos

Locked DoorsWhen you order your team to interact with a locked door they treat itexactly like an unlocked door. This means that you can issue the sameorders as Doors and the team automatically unlocks the door beforeproceeding with their orders.When you unlock a door it does not open it automatically. It simply changes itfrom locked to unlocked. To perform this action, you must press and hold theAction key until it is complete.• Unlock (Default) – You unlock it

Windows/Shutters (Open/Close)• Open (Default) – You or your team move to the window and open it• Open and Grenade – Same as Open, but the team throws a grenade

through once the window is open

Ladders (Climb Up/Down)• Climb (Default) – You or your team move to the ladder, assume

ladder covering formation, and climb the ladder

Ground Not Near You• Move to – Your team moves to the designated location• Move to and Grenade – Same as Move to, but the team throws in a

grenade once they are within range of the location

Interacting with the EnvironmentHow Do I

Interacting with your environment is extremely important in Raven Shield. Itallows you to do everything from opening doors to securing surrenderedterrorists. To interact with your environment move near to and look at anarea/object you can interact with. When a bright, high intensity Action Icon (seeIn-Game Interface: Action Icon above) appears in the bottom center of the screenpress the Action key (Space Bar) to perform the action the icon represents.

How to Order My Team

Ordering your team to interact with the environment is just as simple as doingit yourself. Look at an object or area where you want them to do somethingfrom a distance. When a dull, low intensity Action Icon appears in the bottomcenter of the screen, press the Action key to order your team to perform thedefault action (see Situations and Default Actions section).

Team Quick Order Interface(QOI)

The default action is not the only action you canorder your team to perform. Instead of pressingand releasing the Action key, press and hold it.The team Quick Order Interface (QOI) appears inthe center of your screen and contains all theorders you can issue to your team at thatlocation. To issue an order, move your mouse untilyou highlight the desired order and left click on it.Orders that utilize grenades require one additional step to issue them. Afterclicking on an order the menu changes to all the grenades your team currentlyhas on them. Click on a grenade to finish issuing the order.You’ll know you’ve issued an order when the QOI disappears while you’re stillholding the Action key, and you hear your character vocally issue the order. Toexit the QOI without issuing an order, release the Action key before you click onan order.Issuing a Team Order on Zulu Go Code

By using the QOI you can even coordinate activities between multiple teams. Todo this, you need to issue quick orders that wait for the Zulu Go Code before theteams execute them. To issue a “quick order on Zulu”, access the QOI normally,but instead of left clicking on the order, right click on it. Now the team will waitfor you to issue the Zulu Go Code before executing the quick order.

same time as the Fluid Open or Fluid Close keys you can quickly open and closedoors/windows.And finally, there is a much more destructive way to permanently opendoors…explosives. A Breaching Charge, Remote Charge, Claymore Mine, or FragGrenade destroys most doors instantly (see Deploying Explosive Charges andMines, and Throwing Grenades sections below).

Using Ladders

When you interact with a ladder all you initially do is put away your weaponand grab onto the ladder. To go up or down the ladder you need to use the MoveForward and Move Backwards keys. You can also go up and down laddersquickly by holding the Run key while simultaneously using the Move keys. Butremember, climbing faster makes more noise and is more likely to causeenemies to notice you.

Switching between Weapons and Equipment Each Rainbow has four pieces of equipment they can utilize: Primary Weapon,Secondary Weapon, Item 1, and Item 2. Computer controlled Rainbow teammembers automatically switch between their available gear as needed. You canswitch your current operative’s gear by using the Primary Weapon (1), SecondaryWeapon (2), Item 1 (3), and Item 2 (4) keys.If you’re not sure what gear your current operative has, press and hold theInventory Menu key (6). This brings up a menu of your operative’s gear in themiddle of your screen similar to the QOI (see Team Quick Order Interface above).Use the mouse to highlight the desired piece of equipment and left click on it toequip it.

Engaging Tangos and Rules of Engagement(RoE)As the player, it’s completely up to you when you engage tangos and when youdon’t. Remember that on Recon missions engaging tangos is an automaticmission failure.Your team, however, engages tangos based on the current Rules of Engagement(RoE):• Assault – Engage all tangos• Infiltrate – Engage all tangos with silenced weapons only; If fired upon,

engage all tangos regardless of silenced weapons• Recon – Only engage tangos if fired upon

> 29 <

Ground Near You • Reform on me (Default) – Your team returns to you and follows

Usable Device Area (Activate/Deactivate) This one actually requires a little more explanation. Some missionsrequire you to do things like plant surveillance devices or disarmbombs. This action allows you to perform all these types of actions. Toperform these actions, you must press and hold the Action key untilthey are complete.• Activate (Default) – You or your team activate or plant a device

Securing TerroristsTo perform this action, you must press and hold the Action key until itis complete.• Secure (Default) – You or your team move to the surrendered terrorist and

handcuff him

Escorting Hostages (Follow Me/Stay Here) • Follow Me (Default) – You or your team move to the hostage and

tell him/her to follow

Player Death• Switch to Next Rainbow (Default) – You switch to control the next

Rainbow in your team after your current Rainbow dies

Using Doors/Windows

The process of using doors requires a little more discussion, as there are anumber of ways to approach it. Reminder, unlocking a door does NOT open it. Itsimply the door’s state from locked to unlocked.There is, however, another way to unlock doors…you can shoot out the locks! Byshooting at the locking mechanism, you cause it to sustain damage andeventually it breaks and becomes unlocked. Further shooting at the dooractually opens it if it opens away from you.Besides simply opening and closing a door/window all the way, you can alsoopen/close them slowly. By pressing the Fluid Open (Mouse Wheel Up) andFluid Close (Mouse Wheel Down) keys you can slowly open and close doors andwindows. If you press the Fast Fluid key (Mouse Wheel Button Down) at the

If the rate of fire is Five, which represents full automatic, you can hold the firekey as long as you like and the weapon continues to fire until you release or it’smagazine goes empty. You can still press and release the fire key to fire one ortwo rounds at a time.

Reloading

When your weapon’s magazine goes empty or “dry”, you need to reload it. Usethe Reload key (Z) to reload a weapon. Reloading when the weapon iscompletely empty is the most time consuming reloading method, because youmust swap magazines and load a round into the firing chamber by pulling thecharging handle.You may also want to reload when your weapon is simply low on ammunitionor before you enter combat. This method of reload, a tactical reload, is muchquicker than waiting until a weapon goes dry, because you simply need to swapmagazines. Don’t worry, if the magazine isn’t empty. Your characterautomatically saves it for later use.

Zooming

All weapons have a default, concentration based, zoom of 1.5x. To zoom yourweapon use the Zoom key (Left Shift). To zoom out with your weapon simplypress the Zoom key again. Sniper rifles have a special scope that allows them tozoom to 5x and 10x magnification.

Weapon Attachments

You can customize your weapons by using one of four weapon attachments.Each of the weapon attachments in Raven Shield affects your weapon in aunique way.Mini-ScopeA Mini-Scope simply changes your default zoom from 1.5x to 3.5x.However, the scope itself takes up considerable screen space on topof the weapon.Sound Suppressor (Silencer)Sound suppressors are used in conjunction with special subsonicammunition and greatly reduce the sound emitted by a weapon.The subsonic ammunition has less power than standard rounds andtherefore has less range and is less lethal. The weight of the suppressor alsoslows the reticule recovery time, making it less responsive than a non-suppressed weapon.

> 31 <

To change the RoE press the Change Rules of Engagement key (F). As you pressthe key the RoE indicator in the upper left of the screen cycle between the threeoptions.

ShootingReticule

Now that you know how to equip your weapons you need to know how to usethem. The best place to start is with the reticule. The center of your reticulerepresents the center of your screen and is where your bullets hit when you’re100% accurate. This however rarely happens, as there are a lot of things thatinfluence you accuracy with a weapon.The other pieces of the reticule are four lines that move away from and towardthe center of your screen to represent your current accuracy. When you fire aweapon the bullets hit somewhere within these four lines. As you move andlook around the reticule lines move away from the center of your screen. This iscalled “reticule bloom”. When you stop the lines move back toward the centerof the screen until they reach the weapons best accuracy. The rate at which yourreticule expands and contracts is unique to each weapon. It’s always best towait until the reticule shrinks completely before firing, but sometimes you justdon’t have that luxury…tangos shoot too.Reducing your stance down, standing to crouching and crouching to prone,increases your weapons base accuracy. This however decreases your mobility, sobe aware.

Firing

To fire a weapon press the Primary Fire key (Left Mouse button). The first thingyou should notice is that your screen jumps when you fire. This reflects therecoil of the weapon. Each weapon’s recoil is unique. To compensate for thisjump and stay on target you can pull your mouse down, but this may cause yourreticule to bloom if you pull too fast.

Rate of Fire (RoF)

Not all weapons fire a single round when you press the Primary Fire key. Eachweapon in Raven Shield has one or more Rates of Fire (RoF). You can cyclebetween your weapon’s RoF setting by pressing the Change Rate of Fire key (B).If the RoF is set to One there is no difference between pressing and holding thefire key; you always fire a single bullet or round. If the RoF is Three you can holdthe fire key to fire a burst of three rounds or press and release it to fire one ortwo rounds.

Using Other ItemsPassive Items

A number of items that you can take on missions do not require you to holdthem in order for them to work. These items are called passive items and arelisted below:Defuse KitThis item allows you to activate and deactivate bombs andexplosive devices much faster. It does not help you deploy ClaymoreMines, Breaching Charges, and Remote Charges faster.Electronic KitThis item allows you to place and manipulate electronic devicessuch as bugs and security systems much more quickly.Lockpick KitThis item allows you to unlock doors much more quickly.Gas MaskThis item negates the effects of gas grenades.Primary Magazines This item provides additional magazines for your primary weapon.Secondary Magazines This item provides additional magazines for your secondaryweapon.

Heartbeat Sensor

The heartbeat sensor must be equipped to operate and displays theelectrical signals emitted by beating hearts as pulsating whitecircles. These circles pulsate at the same rate as the person’s heart. Since thesensor cannot tell whether the person is a Rainbow team member, Terrorist, orHostage, you’ll have to figure that out by yourself. Here’s a hint, when peopleget scared, run, and get wounded their heart rates increase.

Deploying Explosive Charges and Mines

Breaching ChargeBreaching charges are small explosive devices designed to instantlyopen/destroy any door. To deploy a breaching charge, equip it,move close to a door and press and hold the Primary Fire key. Once deployed, adetonator appears in your hand. Move a meter or so away from the door andthen press the Primary Fire key to detonate the charge. > 33 <

High Capacity Magazines

High Capacity Magazines greatly increases the ammunition capacity of aweapon resulting in less frequent reloading. However the increased weight ofthe extra ammunition slows the reticule recovery time, making it lessresponsive than the same weapon with a standard magazine.Thermal Scope Attachment (Sniper Rifles only)The Thermal Scope Attachment appears on the left side of sniperscopes and allows you to see thermal signatures up to 3 metersthrough walls and other obstacles. To activate it you must be zoomed to 5x or10x magnification. Press the Secondary Fire/Toggle Weapon Attachment key(Left Alt). While in thermal vision mode you can look through almost anything,but can only shoot through doors. To deactivate it simply hit the SecondaryFire/Toggle Weapon Attachment key again.

Auto-Aim

Auto-Aim helps you target quickly by snapping your crosshairs to tangos asthey appear. You can toggle through the auto-aim settings by pressing the CycleAuto-Aim key (F2): None, Low, Medium, and High. At Low setting Auto-Aim onlylocks to tangos near the center of the screen. At High setting Auto-Aim lockson-to most tangos in the screen.Auto-Aim is a great tool when you first begin to play, but as your skills increase,you may want to turn it off and take your chances aiming on your own. Auto-Aim only works against medium to short-range targets. If you want to aim atanything farther and you’ll have to hit it on your own.

Bullet Penetration of Doors

As stated in the Thermal Scope Attachment section, bullets only penetratedoors. They do so based on the door material and the bullet’s energy when itreaches the door. Bullets are less lethal when they emerge from a door, but forlarge caliber weapons like the M82A1 .50cal sniper rifle, it really doesn’t makemuch of a difference.

> 32 <

Tear GasTear Gas grenades detonate after a short delay and leave a toxiccloud of smoke, which causes coughing and blurred vision. These arealso good grenades to toss into rooms with terrorists and hostages.

Finishing a Mission: Debriefing Screen A mission ends either when you complete all ofthe mission objectives or when you fail one ormore of them. In both circumstances you go to the Debriefing screen, which displays the missionobjectives and their status, your operatives andtheir status/statistics, total team status, and yourcampaign statistics.If you complete all of the mission objectives you have the following options athe bottom of the screen:• Go to the Main Menu – Returns you to the Main Menu• Go to the Options Menu – Allows you to change your options and then

return to the Debriefing screen• Retry Action – Restarts the current mission• Go to Back to Planning – Restarts the current mission in the Briefing Room

so you can rework your plan• Accept Mission Outcome – Accepts the mission outcome. If you’re playing a

campaign it takes you to the Planning Computer for the next mission. Ifyou’re not in a campaign, it takes you to the Custom Mission screen.

If you fail one or more of the objectives you get the same options as you dowhen you succeed, except for the Accept Mission Outcome option.

MultiplayerDifferences between Single and Multiplayer PlayThe main difference between multiplayer and single player play is that inmultiplayer there are one or more other human players playing with or againstyou. Computer controlled characters are challenging opponents, but otherplayers are another thing entirely. Once you’ve mastered the single player

Remote ChargeRemote charges are small explosive devices designed to destroyeverything in a small area. Think of them as extremely powerfulfrag grenades that can be remotely detonated. To deploy a remote charge,equip it, look at the ground near you, and press and hold the Primary Fire key.Once deployed, a detonator appears in your hand. Move away from the areaand then press the Primary Fire key to detonate the charge.Claymore MineClaymore mines work almost identically to remote charges exceptthat they focus the destructive effect in the direction you face whendeploying them. Deploy and detonate a claymore the same way as a remotecharge, but make sure you’re behind it when it goes off.

Throwing Grenades

Grenades give you a lot of flexibility during a mission. To throw a grenade,equip it and point in the direction that you want to throw. Press the PrimaryFire key to throw it overhand or the Secondary Fire/Toggle Weapon Attachmentkey to throw it underhand.You can also press and hold the Primary Fire or Secondary Fire keys to pull the pin,but not throw it. However, at this point you are committed, as you cannot put thepin back into the grenade. When you release the key, you toss the grenade.With practice you’ll be tossing frags through windows in no time!FragFrags are destructive grenades that detonate after a short delay,destroying everything and everyone nearby.Flashbang Flashbangs are distraction grenades that confuse and blind anyonenearby, while doing inflicting no damage. Toss these into roomswith hostages and terrorists to give you an edge over the enemy beforeentering.SmokeSmoke grenades detonate shortly after being released and emit alarge cloud of concealing smoke. Use these grenades to cross openareas and to conceal your movements. But beware, thermal vision sees directlythrough smoke making you vulnerable to snipers who are thus equipped.

IntroductionStory

The year is 2007, and Team RAINBOW is triumphant. The world’s premierecounter-terrorism team has defeated the decades-old plot to resurrect aninternational fascist regime, and foiled the attempt to use weapons of massdestruction in Rio de Janeiro. The plot’s mastermind is dead, and his right-hand man, Argentine politician Alvaro Gutierrez, is in prison. The world is safe – or so it seems.But Gutierrez still has one card left to play. One cell of his terror organizationis still out there. Its members are dangerous, desperate men who will stop at nothing to continue the program of murder and terrorism their comradesbegan. And now they want revenge.On a warm night in Milan, the terror begins again, and only RAINBOW canstop it.

OverviewIn Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3®: Athena Sword™, you lead an elite international counter-terrorist unit code-named RAINBOW. You assume therole of mission commander, both before and during each mission. You planout every detail of every operation, from the operatives who’ll be going intothe field to the equipment they use to the plan of attack they’ll follow. During the mission, you'll command up to 8 Rainbow operatives as theyengage terrorists, rescue hostages, defuse bombs and test their abilities to the utmost against deadly enemies.Athena Sword™ contains 8 missions linked to form a single campaign. It is a sequel to the story presented in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 : RavenShield®, picking up where Raven Shield® left off and immersing you rightback in the world of anti-terror operations. During missions the action getsintense, and with “one shot, one kill” lethality, the margin of error is small.Make one mistake, and a team member could pay the ultimate price. As your skills sharpen, the pressure increases. The terrorists you face growsmarter, better armed, and deadlier. Remember, RAINBOW is the best of the best. They are only called in whenthe world has no other option. If they fail, the consequences will be catastrophic.The team is all yours – if you think you’re up to it. Good luck. You’re going toneed it.

INTRODUCTION In 2007, Team Rainbow is called in to clear out the last of theterrorist group responsible for the actions in Athena Sword.Flushed out of their initial position, they have taken refuge in themain building of EVTIMOV UNIVERSITY, where they have beenpinned down by police and are now taking hostages. But is thisthe last move of the endgame, or the start of a new fight againstterror?

Overview In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3: Iron Wrath, you lead an elite,international anti-terrorist unit code-named “Rainbow.” Youassume the role of mission commander before and after each mis-sion and plan out every detail of their missions, from the opera-tives and their gear to their exact paths and actions. During mis-sions you lead from the front by controlling any of the eightRainbow operatives as they engage terrorists and save the world.

Iron Wrath contains seven missions linked together to form a sin-gle campaign. During missions the action gets intense, and with“one- shot, one-kill lethality,” the world of Iron Wrath is extremelyunforgiving. As your skills sharpen, the missions get graduallyharder to keep up the pressure. Remember, when Rainbow getscalled in, it’s because it’s an extremely important mission and allother options have been exhausted…Hit ’em hard and hit ’emfast.

New Weapons

PistolModel 17 (9 mm)The Model 17 is an extremely reliable, lightweightweapon. Designed with a smooth double-action triggersystem and no exposed hammer, it is ideal for closecombat and concealed carry situations.

SMGM7 PDW (4.6 mm)The MP7 PDW is designed to be theapproximate size of a large pistol but

has an extremely fast, full-automatic fire rate. There is little doubtthat it will soon be in service with police and secret-servicedepartments around the world.

Assault RifleType 89F (5.56 mm)Built with a folding stock and firing alethal 5.56 mm round, the Type 89F is

more than capable of being used in CQB environments as well asthe open battlefield.

ShotgunMK3 Auto SGTaking advantage of a bullpup designand 10-round rotary drum, the

Jackhammer can lay down a devastating field of fire. However,this weapon becomes somewhat unmanageable during sustainedbursts on full automatic.

9

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 8

Sniper RifleSR-25 (7.62 mm)Based on the proven M16 design andchambered for 7.62 NATO rounds, the

SR-25 packs a devastating punch in a small package.

Light Machine GunUM-100 (5.56 mm)

Hailing from Singapore, the UM-100machine gun holds the record for being

the lightest 5.56 caliber machine gun in existence. Its unique“constant recoil” technology allows it to be fired one-handed orfrom the hip with minimal loss of accuracy. It uses a 100-rounddrum for ammunition and can be fired with the butt detached.

Virus Upload

BackgroundThere’s important data being kept on a system inside the base.One team needs to protect it, while the other seeks to corrupt itwith a virus.

Objective • Red team: Protect the electronic system in the base; one

laptop is ideal for a Virus Upload. In order to win, this teammust either prevent the Green team from uploading the virusor kill the other team.

• Green team: Upload a virus from a disc that is given ran-domly to one member of the team at the start of play.

Rules • There are two teams, Green and Red.• The disc is given randomly to some-

one on the Green team. • The player who has the disc can give

it to another member of the sameteam (when he’s close to anotherplayer on his team, he gets a cir-cumstantial action icon showing a hand passing a disc andcan use the Space Bar to pass it).

• If the player doesn’t give the disc to another player within30 seconds, he will become detectable in the level (on theRed team’s radar, the signal from the heartbeat sensor will beperfect).

17

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 16

• The player who has the disc is detectable by his team (thesignal from the heartbeat sensor will be perfect).

• A counter appears when a player has the disc; this counterwill inform the player how much time is left before hebecomes detectable. This counter disappears when the playerpasses the disc to someone else.

• A message will also appear to inform the team that the onewho has the disc has exceeded the time and he’s detectable.

• The player who takes the disc will have 30 seconds before hebecomes detectable.

• If the player who has the disc is killed, the disc is droppedand a member of the same team must pick it up and try toupload it.

• If a player is killed while he passes the disc, the disc is alsodropped.

• The opposite team cannot take the disc from its initial posi-tion or when it’s dropped by a killed player.

Victory ConditionsThe Green team has to upload the virus onto the laptop or neutral-ize the other team. The Red team has to prevent the Green teamfrom uploading the virus or neutralize the Green team.

Free Backup

BackgroundThere are many neutral fighters in the level.The two teams (Red and Green) should lib-erate them to gain their backup in the fire-fight.

18

Objective • Red team: Wipe out the Green team while taking advantage

of more backups from the level. • Green team: Wipe out the Red team while taking advantage

of more backups from the level.

Rules • There are two teams, Green and Red.• Teams spawn on the map at the same distance from the

neutral fighters (the positions of the neutral fighters will berandom).

• To make a neutral fighter his ally, a player must move closeto the fighter and press the Space Bar when the appropriatecircumstantial icon appears. Consequently, the fighter joinsthe player’s team and starts following him. From this pointon, the neutral fighter will engage members of the oppositeteam, including the neutral fighters controlled by them.

• Each player can work with up to three liberated neutralfighters.

• Any player can kill a neutral fighter while he’s in his initialneutral state or under control.

• A player can only give a neutral fighter the order to followhim or to stay in position.

• When a player reaches the maximum number of controlledneutral fighters, he can’t control any more (the icon thatallows him to control neutral fighters won’t appear on-screen, even if he moves close to another neutral fighter).

Neutral Fighter BehaviorNeutral fighters begin at the same distancefrom both teams. Although they are wellequipped with assault rifles and heavyarmor, they don’t shoot until they are liber-ated, reacting more like hostages – immo-bile and crouched.

19

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 18

When a player controls a neutral fighter, the fighter attacks theopposite team, including that team’s co-opted fighters. He alsotakes the color of the team he’s working for (Red armor = con-trolled by Red team, Green armor = controlled by Green team).

A neutral fighter won’t shoot another neutral fighter who is in theinitial, neutral state. If the player who controls them dies or leavesthem, neutral fighters can be taken over by any other player (friendor enemy).

terminals (but it will take more time to do it if you’re not theintruder).

20

The Intruder• A member of the Green team will be

chosen as an intruder. • The intruder will be inserted with his

team, but he will appear with thesame color as the opposite team.

• The intruder has the ability to destroyterminals faster than any other team member.

• To identify the intruder, center your crosshair on a memberof your team. If the color of the crosshair changes to red,you have found the intruder.

Victory Conditions

How to Order My TeamOrdering your team to interact with the environment is just assimple as doing it yourself. Look at an object or area where youwant them to do something from a distance. When a dull, low-intensity Action Icon appears in the bottom center of the screen,press the Action key to order your team to perform the defaultaction. It’s just that simple.

Team Quick Order Interface (QOI) The default action is not the only action you can order your teamto perform. Instead of pressing and releasing the Action key, pressand hold it. The team Quick Order Interface (QOI) appears in thecenter of your screen and contains all the orders you can issue toyour team at that location. To issue an order, move your mouseuntil you highlight the desired order and left-click on it.

Orders that utilize grenades require one additional step to issuethem. Once you click on an order, the menu changes to all thegrenades your team currently has on them. Click on a grenade tofinish issuing the order.

You’ll know you’ve issued an order when the QOI disappears whileyou’re still holding the Action key, and you hear your charactervocally issue the order. To exit the QOI without issuing an order,release the Action key before you click on an order.

Issuing a Team Order on Zulu Go CodeBy using the QOI, you can even coordinate activities between mul-tiple teams. To do this, you need to issue quick orders that waitfor the Zulu Go Code before the teams execute them. To issue a“quick order on Zulu,” access the QOI normally, but instead ofleft-clicking on the order, right-click on it. Now the team waits foryou to issue the Zulu Go Code before executing the quick order.

HOW TO PLAYInteracting with the Environment

How Do IInteracting with your environment is extremely important in IronWrath. It allows you to do everything from opening doors to secur-ing surrendered terrorists. To interact with your environment, movenear to and look at an area/object you can interact with. When abright, high-intensity Action Icon appears in the bottom center ofthe screen, press the Action key (Space Bar) to perform the action.

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 26

If you want to coordinate this order with another team, switch toanother team and issue another quick order on Zulu. Then switchto a third team, press the Zulu Go Code key (,), and watch the fun.

Situations and Default ActionsDoors (Open/Close)

• Open (Default): You or your team move to the door, assumeroom-entry formation, and open the door.

• Open and Grenade: Same as Open, but your team throws in agrenade once the door is open.

• Open and Clear: Same as Open, but your team rushesthrough the door to engage all tangos.

• Open, Grenade, and Clear: Same as Open and Grenade, butyour team rushes through the door to engage all tangos.

Locked Doors When you order your team to interact with a locked door, they treatit exactly like an unlocked door. This means that you can issue thesame orders as you would above, and the team automaticallyunlocks the door before proceeding with their orders.

However, when you unlock a door, it does not open automatically. Itsimply changes from locked to unlocked. To perform this action,you must press and hold the Action key until it is complete.

• Unlock (Default): You unlock the door.

Windows/Shutters (Open/Close) • Open (Default): You or your team move to the window and

open it.

28

Ladders (Climb Up/Down) • Climb (Default): You or your team move to the ladder,

assume ladder-covering formation, and climb the ladder.

Ground Not Near You • Move To: Your team moves to the designated location.• Move To and Grenade: Same as Move To, but your team

throws in a grenade once they are within range of the loca-tion.

Ground Near You• Reform on Me (Default): Your team regroups and follows

you.

Usable Device Area (Activate/Deactivate)

This one actually requires a little more explanation. Some mis-sions require you to do things like plant surveillance devices ordisarm bombs. This allows you to perform all of these actions. Toperform these actions, you must press and hold the Action keyuntil they are complete.

Player Death

• Switch to Next Rainbow (Default): You switch to control the nextRainbow in your team after your current Rainbow dies.

Using Doors/WindowsDoors require a little more discussion, as there are a number ofthings you can do with them. Just as a quick reminder, unlocking adoor does NOT open it. It simply changes it from locked tounlocked.

There is, however, another way to unlock doors…you can shoot outthe locks. By shooting at the locking mechanism, it sustains dam-age and eventually breaks and becomes unlocked. Further shootingat the door actually opens it if it opens away from you.

Besides simply opening and closing a door/window all the way, youcan also open/close them slowly. By pressing the Fluid Open(Mouse Wheel Up) and Fluid Close (Mouse Wheel Down) keys, youcan slowly open and close doors and windows. If you press the FastFluid key (Mouse Wheel Button Down) at the same time as theFluid Open or Fluid Close keys, you can quickly open and closedoors/windows.

And finally, there is a much more destructive way to permanentlyopen doors…explosives. A breaching charge, remote charge, clay-more mine, or frag grenade destroys most doors instantly.

Using LaddersWhen you interact with a ladder, all you initially do is put awayyour weapon and grab onto the ladder. To go up or down the ladder,you need to use the Move Forward and Move Backwards keys. Youcan also go up and down ladders quickly by holding the Run key,while simultaneously using the Move keys. But remember, climbingfaster makes a lot of noise.

Switching Between Weapons and Equipment Each Rainbow has four pieces of equipment he can utilize:Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon, Item 1, and Item 2.Computer-controlled Rainbows automatically switch between theiravailable gear as needed. You can switch your operative’s gear byusing the Primary Weapon (1), Secondary Weapon (2), Item 1 (3),and Item 2 (4) keys.

If you’re not sure what gear your current operative has, press andhold the Inventory Menu key (6). This brings up a menu of youroperative’s gear in the middle of your screen similar to the QOI(see Team Quick Order Interface above). Use the mouse to high-light the desired piece of equipment and left-click on it to equipit.

Engaging Tangos and Rules of Engagement(RoE)As the player, it’s completely up to you when you engage tangosand when you don’t. Remember that on Recon missions, engagingtangos is an automatic mission failure.

Your team, however, engages tangos based on the current Rules ofEngagement (RoE):

• Assault: Engage all tangos.• Infiltrate: Engage all tangos with silenced weapons only; if

fired upon, engage all tangos regardless of silencedweapons.

• Recon: Only engage tangos if fired upon.

To change the RoE, press the Change Rules of Engagement key(F). As you press the key, the RoE in the upper left of the screencycle among the three options.

Shooting

Reticle Now that you know how to equip your weapons, you need to knowhow to use them. The best place to start is with the reticle. Thecenter of your reticle represents the center of your screen and iswhere your bullets hit when you’re 100% accurate. This, however,rarely happens, as there are a lot of things that influence youraccuracy with a weapon.

The other pieces of the reticle are four lines that move away fromand toward the center of your screen to represent your currentaccuracy. When you fire a weapon, the bullets hit somewhere with-in these four lines. As you move around and look about, the reticlelines move away from the center of your screen, or “bloom.” Whenyou stop, the lines move back toward the center of the screen untilthey reach the weapon’s best accuracy. The rate at which your reti-cle expands and contracts is unique to each weapon. It’s alwaysbest to wait until the reticle shrinks completely before firing, butsometimes you just don’t have that luxury…tangos shoot, too.

Reducing your stance – standing to crouching or crouching toprone – increases your weapon’s base accuracy. This, however,decreases your mobility, so be aware.

FiringTo fire a weapon, simply press the Primary Fire key (Left MouseButton). The first thing you should notice is that your screen jumpswhen you fire. This reflects the recoil of the weapon and is uniqueto each weapon. To compensate for this jump and to stay on target,you can pull your mouse down, but this may cause your reticle tobloom if you pull too quickly.

32

Rate of Fire (RoF)Not all weapons fire a single round when you press the PrimaryFire key. Each weapon in Iron Wrath has one or more Rates of Fire(RoF). You can cycle between your weapon’s RoFs by pressing theChange Rate of Fire key (B). If the RoF is set to One, there is nodifference between pressing and holding the Fire key – you alwaysfire a single bullet or round. If the RoF is set to Three, you canhold the Fire key to fire a burst of three rounds or press andrelease it to fire one or two rounds.If the rate of fire is Five, which represents full automatic, you canhold the Fire key as long as you like and the weapon continues tofire until you release the key or until the weapon’s magazine isempty. You can still press and release the Fire key to fire one ortwo rounds at a time.

ReloadingWhen your weapon’s magazine goes empty or “dry,” you need toreload it. Use the Reload key (Z) to reload a weapon. Reloadingwhen the weapon is completely empty is the most time-consumingreloading method, because you must swap magazines and load around into the firing chamber by pulling the charging handle.

You may also want to reload when your weapon is simply low onammunition or before you enter combat. This method of reload, atactical reload, is much quicker than waiting until a weapon goesdry, because you simply need to swap magazines. Don’t worry – ifthe magazine isn’t empty, your character automatically saves it forlater use.

ZoomingAll weapons have a default, concentration-based zoom of 1.5x. Tozoom your weapon, use the Zoom key (Left Shift). To zoom outwith your weapon, simply press the Zoom key again. Sniper rifleshave a special scope that allows them to zoom to 5x and 10x mag-nification.

33

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 32

Weapon AttachmentsYou can customize your weapons by using one of four weaponattachments. Each of the weapon attachments in Iron Wrathaffects your weapon in a unique way.

Mini-ScopeA mini-scope simply changes your default zoom from 1.5x to 3.5x.However, the scope itself takes up considerable screen space ontop of the weapon.

Sound Suppressor (Silencer)Sound suppressors are used in conjunction with special subsonicammunition and greatly reduce the sound emitted by a weapon.The subsonic ammunition has less power than standard rounds andtherefore has less range and is less lethal. The weight of the sup-pressor also slows the reticle recovery time, making it less respon-sive than a non-suppressed weapon.

High-Capacity MagazinesHigh-capacity magazines greatly increase the ammunition capacityof a weapon, resulting in less-frequent reloading. However, theincreased weight of the extra ammunition slows the reticle recoverytime, making it less responsive than the same weapon with a stan-dard magazine.

Thermal Scope Attachment (Sniper Rifles Only)The thermal scope attachment appears on the left side of sniperscopes and allows you to see thermal signatures through walls andother obstacles. To activate it, you must be zoomed to 5x or 10xmagnification and then press the Secondary Fire/Toggle WeaponAttachment key (Left Alt). While in Thermal Vision mode, you canlook through almost anything but can only shoot through doors. Todeactivate it, simply hit the Secondary Fire/Toggle WeaponAttachment key again.

34

Auto-aim Auto-aim helps you target quickly by snapping your crosshairs totangos as they appear. You can toggle through the Auto-aim set-tings by pressing the Toggle Auto-aim key (F2): None, Minimum,Moderate, and Maximum. At the minimum setting, Auto-aim onlylocks onto tangos near the center of the screen. At the maximumsetting, Auto-aim locks onto most tangos on the screen.

Auto-aim is a great tool when you first begin to play, but as yourskills progress, you’ll want to turn it off. Where it fails is when youhave multiple tangos in view and it locks onto only one of them,leaving the other to shoot you. If you don’t use Auto-aim, you canspray-fire the whole area quickly and engage multiple targets atthe same time. If you are using Auto-aim, you must take out thefirst tango before attempting to take out the second...a very riskyaffair.

Auto-aim also only works against medium- to short-range targets.Anything farther and you’ll have to hit it on your own.

Bullet Penetration of DoorsAs stated above in the Thermal Scope Attachment section, bulletsonly penetrate doors. They do so based on the door material andthe bullet’s energy when it reaches the door. Naturally, bullets areless lethal when they emerge from a door, but for large-caliberweapons like the M82A1 .50cal sniper rifle, it really doesn’t makemuch of a difference.

Using Other Items

Passive ItemsA number of items that you can take on missions do not requireyou to hold them in order for them to work. These items are calledpassive items.

35

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 34

Defuse KitThis item allows you to activate and deactivate bombs and explo-sive devices much more quickly. It does not help you deploy clay-more mines, breaching charges, and remote charges more quickly.

Electronic KitThis item allows you to place and manipulate electronic devices,such as bugs and security systems, much more quickly.

Lockpick KitThis item allows you to unlock doors much more quickly.

Gas MaskThis item negates the effects of gas grenades.

Primary MagazinesThis item provides additional magazines for your primary weapon.

Secondary MagazinesThis item provides additional magazines for your secondaryweapon.

Heartbeat SensorThe heartbeat sensor must be equipped to operate and displays theelectrical signals emitted by beating hearts as pulsating white cir-cles. These circles pulsate at the same rate as the person’s heart.Since the sensor cannot tell whether the person is a Rainbow, ter-rorist, or hostage, you’ll have to figure that out by yourself. Here’s ahint: just as in real life, when people get scared, run, or getwounded, their heart rates increase.

Note: On Rookie difficulty level, tangos appear red, hostagesappear white, and Rainbows appear blue.

Deploying Explosive Charges and Mines Breaching ChargeBreaching charges are small explosive devices designed to instant-ly open/destroy any door. To deploy a breaching charge, equip it,move close to a door, and press and hold the Primary Fire key.Once deployed, a detonator appears in your hand. Move a meteror so away from the door and then press the Primary Fire key todetonate the charge. Voila…no door!

Remote ChargeRemote charges are small explosive devices designed to destroyeverything in a small area. Think of them as extremely powerfulfrag grenades that can be remotely detonated. To deploy a remotecharge, equip it, look at the ground near you, and press and holdthe Primary Fire key. Once deployed, a detonator appears in yourhand. Move away from the area and then press the Primary Firekey to detonate the charge.

Claymore MineClaymore mines work almost identically to remote charges exceptthat they focus the destructive effect in the direction you’re facingwhen deploying them. Deploy and detonate it the same way as aremote charge, but make sure you’re behind it when it goes off.

RSIW0014_PCS_MNL.qxd 5/4/04 5:00 PM Page 36

Throwing GrenadesGrenades give you a lot of flexibility during a mission. To throw agrenade, equip it and point in the direction that you want to throw.Press the Primary Fire key to throw it overhand or the SecondaryFire/Toggle Weapon Attachment key to throw it underhand.

You can also press and hold the Primary Fire or Secondary Firekeys to pull the pin but not throw it. However, at this point you arecommitted, as you cannot put the pin back into the grenade. Whenyou release the key, you toss the grenade.

FragFrags are destructive grenades that detonate after a short delay,destroying everything and everyone nearby.

FlashbangFlashbangs are distraction grenades that confuse and blind anyonenearby. Toss these into rooms with hostages and terrorists to giveyou an edge over the enemy before entering.

SmokeSmoke grenades detonate shortly after release and emit a largecloud of concealing smoke. Use these grenades to cross open areasand to conceal your movements. But beware, thermal vision seesdirectly through smoke, making you vulnerable to snipers.

GasGas grenades detonate after a short delay and leave a toxic cloudof smoke, which causes coughing and blurred vision. These arealso good grenades to toss into rooms with terrorists and hostages.
