The game will show that man as its first objective, but if looked more closely, there will be a second guard who will be doing the patrolling, according to VideoGamer.
Now take up a position on the ridge and move back, there must be a distance of 100 meters. Players can use of the Focus Times, allowing the reticule to shrink before taking an aim at the Testicle.
