    Must be done in Co-Op.
    This can be done split screen or on Live.

    There are four missions for this:

    Smugglers Compound
    Missile Plant
    Voron Station
    Abandoned City

    These are missions with check points that you have to go through and finish to complete each. There are also Dead Drops, Laptops and HVTs to capture.

    If you are having difficulties with the game glitching out on the last mission, set the difficulty down and do not die. Your failing this mission at that point seems to trigger the glitch. Thanks to azGRIMES for finding this out.

    SirLugashShould've read people's comments earlier xD
    Did Mission 2 solo, the escape scene was really annoying but after the 10th or so try I did it.
    If you are going to do it solo, I recommend starting to run as soon as possible, you can make the left turn quite easily as the camera automatically follows you while running.
    The most important part however is to navigate both players close to each other so you can observe both of them on one screen, making going through the rest of the section a little easier.
    It's still very hard because of all the explosions and stuff going on in the background and keeping track of both.

    AnguilleArnalI just did all the missions solo with 2 controllers. Nothing besides the extraction in mission 2 is very difficult (as long as you play on rookie difficulty obviously ;). The similar sequence in mission 4 is much easier because there aren't many objects against which you might get stuck. To finish 2 I put down both controllers on a table, one next to the other making sure that they were stable and that I moved Sam with my left hand and Briggs with my right one. I only used my index finger and my pinkie to move stick and press A. It took me a dozen tries to get it done. Maybe this technique might help someone ;)

    WrathofzarDefinitely possible to do the second mission by yourself. Waves of enemies are easy. Just keep ur co op partner upstairs the whole time. The escape scene took me about an hour of practice using @SirLugash Method above. It is hard tho. So Definitely recommend finding a partner. But if you cant be bothered like me, expect to be stuck practicing on the end of that mission for about an hour.

    I agree with this. After reading the comments on here, I expected that the extraction in mission 2 would be extremely difficult but that is not the case at all. I got through it in 5 minutes. So definitely try this if you don't feel like finding a boosting partner.

    King CrepesWhile you're getting all collectables keep on checking after every mission. I had on HVT which wasn't captured for me but for my coop buddy.

    GS PleaseAlso agreeing with Wcbezoeker, I thought it would be hard after reading the comments...

    Took me TWO tries to do the extraction with 2 controllers.

    So for anyone hesitating because you don't have a friend... It isn't hard whatsoever.

    You simply just have to follow the other character, not actually focus on both at once. Very simple.
