Look for Red Markings

The game actually tells you this fairly early on, but it’s always good to have a reminder. When you’re getting ready to liberate your first town in Just Cause 3, always be on the lookout for objects that have red bandings around them. More often than not, these are the things that you need to destroy to take them off your checklist.

Billboards and speakers, in particular, may be a little tricky to find if you’re looking in the wrong places. If you’re having difficulty, just remember to look for the red and you’ll be set. Also, once you’ve spent enough time within the boundaries of the town itself, most of the chaos objects will be marked on your map when you pull it up.

Get Your Rebels In

Before you start blowing up statues and speakers, you’ll want to call in some backup first. This is done by entering the combat zone in town and wreaking havoc by eliminating all the enemies. When you’re in the combat zone, there will usually be two gates you can activate in order to let your rebels into town.

You’ll want to do this first because the rebels can help to take the heat off you, making the rest of the liberation significantly easier.

Stop Reinforcements

At the same time, make sure to take out soldiers before they get the chance to call in reinforcements. Occasionally you’ll see a walkie-talkie icon pop up on your screen, look for the icon to find the soldier who’s about to call for backup. If you don’t take him out before the entire red circle fills up, he’ll call two more envoys into town.

Be sure to make these guys a priority the second you see the icon on your screen to avoid a protracted conflict.

Rush to the Flag

Once you’ve destroyed all that you need to destroy in the town, the game will prompt you to raise the flag. A handy tip to keep in mind is that once you raise the flag, the town will be liberated and all enemy troops will disappear. This means that even if you’re in the middle of a really intense firefight, you can get out of it by running to the flag and activating it to end the conflict.
