Hack 32. Get Out of Outskirts


Get onto the rooftops and circumvent Sniper Alley.

This level is interesting because the rooftops allow for a great deal of movement. By moving above this urban level, you can find skulls, skip battles, and move around the level quickly. There are many options for getting onto the Outskirts rooftops.

Figures 4-5, 4-6, 4-7, 4-8 through 4-9 use a two-player split screen to demonstrate the action.


One method is to use the awnings in Sniper Alley (see Figures 4-5 and 4-6).

However, an easier option is to use a grenade jump right at the beginning of the level. The first doorway in the level gives you access to the roof. This is the same technique that is used to find the Blind skull [Hack #8].

The first step is to crouch jump [Hack #1] onto a light fixture; then another crouch jump gets you onto the roof (see Figure 4-7).

Once you have made it to the roof, turn around and jump across to the adjacent roof (see Figure 4-8).

From this area, you can easily grenade jump [Hack #2] to the next level and get free reign around the map (see Figure 4-9).

If you want to skip Sniper Alley, you can simply run across the roofs and then down to the Zanzibar hotel. Have fun exploring!
