Best Friends is the fifth episode in Manhunt 2, taking place at Fisto Sugar Manufactory Depot in Blackwell Island, Cottonmouth.

Plot Summary

Six years ago, Daniel Lamb; under the influence of Leo Kasper threatens his friend (and fellow co-worker) Michael Grant with a Light Handgun into removing the Pickman Bridge, so Leo could have free reign over Daniel's mind. However, he suffers from some sort of mental attack, which causes him to be left dazed, allowing Michael to slap the handgun away and arm himself with a Flare gun. Leo, recognizing that Michael is the only way off the island when the Project Militia comes to exterminate all 3 of them, makes his way through the factory, slaughtering soldiers and eventually murdering Michael Grant to leave so he can make the next move in his plan.

Episode

Introduction

The Project Militia close in on the island for an ambush to kill both Danny and Michael, which causes the latter to flee and prompting the killer duo to chase him for the boat keys so they can escape. Leo goes upstairs into the factory while avoiding the gunshots from the Bloodhound Maverick.

Sugarcane Grinding Room

Leo chases Michael throughout the factory's platforms, eventually finding a Sickle in one of the control rooms. In an attempt to stop Leo, Michael fires a flare at him and flees, but is caught by a group of armed mercenaries waiting outside. The group leader orders two teams of mercenaries to go inside the facility and capture Leo - one team coming from the yard and the second one coming from the harbor side of the building.

Leo may use the sickle to execute the mercenaries or push distracted goons into the sugarcane grinders. Lights can be destroyed with a melee attack to create hiding spots.

Once the two teams are eliminated, the team leader in the yard outside will suspect something wrong is going on, and tells the other mercenary to keep an eye on Michael while he's going to check it out, also warning him to watch out for anyone coming from the front doors of the factory who's not from the team.

The player is instructed to acquire a gun before going to yard. Leo must kill the mercenary coming inside the factory in any way of his choosing, and pick up his Light Handgun with 12 rounds available. Ammunition may also be conveniently found in nearby lockers.

Factory Yard

As Leo leaves the factory armed with a gun, the one mercenary left keeping Michael hostage is alerted, with the latter quickly runs for his life with the boat keys. Leo kills the mercenary and goes after Michael, who escapes to the nearby building within the sugar factory complex and locks the door.

Leo has no option other than making his way through the factory's loading bay, heavily guarded by mercenaries, and find another way in into the building. Packaging crates and industrial vehicles may be used to get some cover during the shootout.

Packaging Machine Hall

Eventually, Leo encounters another team of mercenaries inside the building, patrolling the packaging machine area. In order to progress, he must find a way to open the gate of the conveyor belt system used for packaging. The warning note on the machine informs the player to ensure the correct weight of "sugar" is on platform before turning on the packaging machine.

Leo must use place a dead body on the platform and turn on the packaging machine, which will open the gate for the conveyour belt and for Leo to continue his chase. Eventually, Leo chases Michael through the platforms of the factory, leading him into the rooftop.

Rooftop

A gun confrontation between Leo and Michael happens in the rooftop. Leo may use the sugarcane bales for temporary cover while avoiding Michael's flares. Michael will be eventually cornered in a dead end on the rooftop, in which Leo can finally put him down and collect his boat keys.

Shortly after, the Bloodhound Maverick locates Leo and starts firing its guns at him. Leo makes his way through the factory once again, passing through the previous areas while facing more Project Militia mercenaries while heading back to the harbor, making his escape on Michael's boat and ending the episode.
