Mercenaries 2 Walkthrough

 

The story follows the player's hunt for Ramon Solano, a druglord who contracted the player's mercenary for a job. Following a militaristic coup, Solano becomes the dictator of Venezuela. He uses his position to seize control of the country's oil supply, resulting in an international incident and distress among OPEC.

 

Alongside Solano's Rebel Forces, a large portion of the Venezuelan army fiercely supports the dictator's cause.

 

The other rebel forces, in opposition to Solano, have risen under the name of the PLAV--the People's Liberation Army of Venezuela.

Soon, numerous other factions join the fight for control of Venezuela's oil. Among them:

 

• The massive Universal Petroleum Corporation and its private military.
• The Rastafarian Pirates (the equivalent of the Russian Mafia)
• China's People's Liberation Army; and the Allied Nations.

 

These six forces will inevitably form the backbone of a war to determine the fate of the country's oil supply.

 

Betrayed, the player's mercenary will ally him/herself with any of the other factions to get even with Solano, and make some money along the way.
