In a lawless open-world paradise, use whatever means necessary to achieve your objective. Use land, sea and air to your advantage and use a wide range of weaponry to cause as much chaos as possible. You are skilled agent Rico Rodriguez. An Agency asset has gone silent on Panau; a huge paradise with a corrupt leader. Your orders are to find and "dispose" of this asset. The only problem is that this "asset" is actually Tom Sheldon. The man who taught you everything you know.
