Recommended routes
Car park gear loop
- Start at Marano Station parking; clear trunks for Rusted Gears.
- Rotate to Santa Maria Houses for dog tags and household loot.
- Exit via East Tram to avoid central crossfire.
Pharmacy quest line
- Hit Grandioso Apartments and both Pharmacies for meds/quest items.
- Swing by Red Tower for dog tags; stairwells are close-quarters.
- When heavy, leave via Southern Highway for cover and elevation.
Pro tips
#1
Shotgun/SMG excels here—expect stairwell and alley ambushes.
#2
Quest items get heavy; plan to leave at half-full rather than full.
#3
Sound cues (metal/vehicle steps) reveal enemies; smokes save lives in tight lanes.
