Rescue

Rescue Missions require players to locate and escort a hostage from a brig to extraction. The hostage is in a room with 12 prison cells, about half of which will be locked, and the rest hackable. The hostage is in one of the hackable cells. Once the hostage is free, the hostage will follow about 10 to 15 meters behind the player closest to extraction, somewhat taking advantage of cover.

The mission is failed if the hostage dies. The hostage tends to get stuck on short pathways, boxes etc. If freeing the hostage is impossible, a recommended course of action is to blaze to extraction as fast as possible, making sure to kill every enemy in the way. The hostage must simply be alive at the moment when the players reach extraction. It is unnecessary for the hostage to be present with the players at extraction for the mission to complete; therefore, if the players can reach extraction before possible harm is posed to the trapped hostage, all is not lost. Occasionally Lotus will find the hostage in one of the cells before it is opened. The hostage will appear on the minimap as an ally. At this point the hostage is considered freed, and the player(s) can head to extraction and accomplish the mission without the hostage ever being in harms way.

While it appears that the hostage has a pistol, he will never actually shoot and will instead take cover when possible. Enemies also tend to not attack the hostage intentionally. He also has a decent personal shield and health, so it is unlikely that the hostage will be put in any genuine danger.
