Welcome to the complete walkthrough for SOCOM 4 on PlayStation 3. In this guide, we’ll take you through all 14 levels of Sony’s frenetic shooter.
First Strike
Once you gain control of your character, use the right thumbstick to look up at the helicopter. Shortly after you do this, it gets shot down and crashesinto the building. Use the left thumbstick to move to the waypoints. The waypoint with the gold star is your objective. Move to it and press Circle to get behind the cover. A truck busts through the gate ahead and enemies will start pouring out. Use the left thumbstick to look over the cover and press R1 to shoot. Use Square to reload and press Start to bring up your Tac-Map once you receive your next objective. While looking at the Tac-Map, use the left thumbstick to move it around and use the right thumbstick to rotate your view and to zoom in or out. Pressing Square here will move the map back toyour current position.
When you pass through the gate you might walk over another weapon. Hold Square to exchange it for your current one. Clicking in the left thumbstick allows you to sprint. At the next waypoint you’ll encounter more enemies on the road. Use L1 to zoom in. While zoomed in, you can click in the right thumbstick to aim down sights. After these guys are downed, move forward. You can press L2 to quickly switch to your secondary weapon, though it’s not useful at this point. Hold down L2 to bring up your gear menu. The D-Pad selects your weapons, and if you press the D-Pad in the same direction twice, you can change the rate of fire for the appropriate weapon. Use the right thumbstick in the gear menu to select from grenades. You’ll need to equip frags to take out the RPG wielder in the building next to you. Don’t worry about running out of grenades. There’s an ammo crate in front of you. Hold Square to resupply, then press X to vault over the roadblocks.
Take cover at the end of the road and wipe out the enemies below. Frags are handy here. After the next cutscene you’ll have to deal with two tanks. Hold down R2 and you’ll call in an airstrike on the spot you’re aiming at. You will have to try to call it in so that the tanks move into the path of the strike.After the tanks are gone, one of your teammates will use C4 to blow the truck out of the way so you can continue. After he does this, press Down on the D-Pad to force your squad to regroup on you. There will be more enemies just beyond the truck, including a guy with an RPG in the stopped train further down. Take him out first or he’ll just keep pelting the area with missiles. Once he’s down, press Left on the D-Pad to order blue team, that is, your two squadmates, to move to wherever you’re pointing. You can order multiple waypoints and your squadmates will move along them. This is great for issuing flanking routes or if you just want them to move up tactically while you do something else.
After you’ve cleared those enemies out, you’ll eventually have to go down some stairs. Before you do, check a nearby circular table for some weapons and intel. The next area has you fighting more enemies, including an RPG soldier on the second floor of the building on the right. This is a good place to practice using waypoints for your squadmates. After you take down the first wave of enemies, move forward and you’ll have to deal with more. Take out the RPG soldier in the building on the left first. He’s pretty high up. When you get closer to the artillery, call in an airstrike on it. Once it’s down, move to the waypoint to complete the mission.
