About now, Grimshaw will radio in informing you of the hackers. The hackers are stupid: even if they leave their computers to chase you, if they're not all dead by the end of the time limit, you've lost. Fortunately the limit is the easy part to beat. Health and ammo are the difficult factors.

Switch rapidly to your Laptop Gun as you shoot right through the kitchen and up the nearby stairs. Check the magazine and make sure you have at least 150 bullets. If not, don't bother quitting and restarting, you can still use the practise upstairs. Run through the door at the top to end up on the balcony, folding the thing up to throw (press B and Z) as you run in and take aim to throw it. Once thrown, you can stay and watch it to make sure it falls in the right place, but that's not essential. Pause and switch to Disarm again (as you now have ''zero ammo remaining'') and open the next double doors.
 +
 
 +
Rapidly disarm both of the guards inside, making sure you get BOTH of them, even if it takes longer than you'd like or they manage to shoot you once or twice. Once weaponless they are effectively neutralised... more or less. More importantly, you now have 20 precious CMP-150 bullets. Run left and open the door out to the main entrance to the villa, run in under the porch and look up and right to find the last safe sniper. Shoot him - exactly one CMP-150 bullet will do the trick, so try not to waste them by hurrying.
 +
 
 +
With a further three or four guards from the main entrance area now on your tail, run back in the villa and right. Go right again into the large room with two guards and a hacker at the far end. Run in a few steps to vastly improve your chances of shooting the hacker, and empty your CMP-150 at him. Sometimes a guard will run across between you, this doesn't help but it doesn't necessarily mess everything up either. Once the clip is empty, leave. Don't bother waiting to see if you killed the hacker or not, as there are now about six guards chasing you, and even though two are unarmed they still have a nasty punch on them.
 +
 
 +
Now out of ammo for the second time, run down the stairs and right-strafe along the hall towards the room with the final two hackers, switching to Disarm again as you do so. About now, the Objective 2 Completed message will appear to inform you that the LSG has done its job. If not, never mind, keep going. Right-strafe into the room and whirl around, then disarm the left-hand hacker from behind to knock him out: this completes Objective 4 if you haven't already done so. Your CMP-150 will now come out automatically as you pick up the ammo, and for some reason, the other hacker won't have noticed your presence, so you have plenty of time to take aim and shoot him in the head with as few bullets as possible. If the Objective 3 Completed message now appears, this means you killed the hacker upstairs as well. Good job.
 +
 
 +
Turn and leave fast, heading back towards the kitchen. There are now roughly twenty guards on your tail, but luckily eight or so of them are upstairs still chasing after you. However the rest are scattered along the route between the kitchen table and the door to the lower basement. You may lose a lot of health or get killed if you run blindly towards them or pause for even a fraction of a second to shoot or disarm them. Switch to Disarm and just run, strafe, and dodge as fast as you possibly can past all of them, only disarming if someone gets in the way or you can do it without slowing. Remember that a target that is moving from side to side is harder to hit, and know the capabilities and behaviour of the guards. This bit is never the same twice. Just be lucky.
 +
 
 +
Run down the kitchen stairs and go LEFT around the wrong side of the curved wall panel. This will protect you from gunfire from the guards who are waiting in this area. There are usually a bunch of guards near the door to the next set of stairs, be especially careful not to get caught behind the doors. Zoom down the steps and change direction, there are sometimes more guards by this next door. Strafe through the basement switching to your CMP-150, open the door to the lower basement, and jump down to face the shock troopers.
 +
 
 +
Shoot the first trooper on the right just as you arrive and he starts to run away from you. CMP-150s are very powerful so use the minimum of ammo required, as you may have as few as 10 bullets remaining at this point. Grab his ammo and reload before going around the next corner to face the next two troopers, whom you should also shoot fast and efficiently. Grab their ammo and reload as you sprint back the way you came and into the second part of the lower basement.
 +
 
 +
Now, if you didn't complete all the required objectives upstairs, this shock trooper will not be there, preventing you from completing the mission. But if he is: open fire just as you open the door to take him out fast, then quickly dodge left and behind the wine rack to grab his ammo. Strafe out and shoot the other trooper quickly with the rest of your clip, then grab the ammo and pause-reload (pause, select Unarmed, select CMP-150, unpause).
 +
 
 +
Try not to get too jittery as you enter the final tunnel. Strafe along to the start of the second wine rack and use your vantage point to quickly murder the shock trooper hiding behind the first one. DO NOT RELOAD. Strafe out and hope that the trooper right at the end doesn't shoot you as you take out the second trooper in much the same way.
 +
 
 +
The penultimate trooper could be anywhere: right around the next corner, behind the shelves, anywhere. Just be prepared and improvise to get him killed as quickly as possible. Finally reload if necessary and shoot the last trooper fast and grab his keycard, whirl and run forward and hit B to open the door, then back up so it can open quickly.
