This guide will walk you through the ‘First Strike’ SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs mission. Let’s get started!

As the game starts off, you will be playing in tutorial mode. For those FPS veterans, there shouldn’t be anything new here. Pay close attention to the waypoints part of the tutorial though, you might need to pick that up. Move to find cover and take out the Insurgents that are coming your way. You will have an ACR and a KP5 to start the mission with. The Insurgents will drop AK-102s and M4A1s. Listen to your objectives and then proceed.

When you reach the highway, you will learn more about the game basics. Take out the Insurgents in the building up ahead with your frag grenades when prompted to do so. Aim high in order to make the grenades reach them, it can be quite frustrating at first especially if you’re not too into the FPS genre but you will get used to it. Move to the large crate and you will discover that it is an ammo cahce, hold the appropriate button to refill your ammo supply.

When you reach the mobile HQ, take out the hostiles near the area. Watch the cut scene and a few tanks will be coming your way. Stay behind cover. You will now have the ability to call for air strikes. Hold the air strike button when the tanks stop moving to do so. Move ahead when both tanks are destroyed.

Time to finish the new objective. Your teammates will plant a C4 on the truck to the left. Take cover as not to get hurt by the blast. There should be a short tutorial on how to use your teammates, listen carefully as this is very important. Take out the hostiles behind the cars along the highway.

When you reach the small building with the two tables up front, pick up the PDW-46 and AMELI, as well as the intel datapad on the table. Proceed to the next area for another tutorial. Send your teammates down the stairs behind cover. Take the stairs behind you and watch their backs. Make sure they do not get flanked. Take out all the hostiles in the area. There should be another intel datapad, as well as your very first tarocco in the area. Pick them up before you proceed.

Stick to the cover and take out the remaining hostiles. Call an air strike to take out the artillery. Pick up the lone intel datapad along the way to the extraction point. The mission will end when you get there.
