(William Hawkins [Sniper] only) — Use the sniper rifle 

to selectively eliminate enemies without revealing your position. 
The precision crosshairs have an enhanced zoom that takes some time 
to stabilize. To do that, press the d button to hold your breath 
while looking through the scope.

(Captain O’Brien [Green Beret] only) — This enables you

to carry two guns at once, giving you a constant supply of firepower.

— Use these

weapons to inflict massive damage on the enemy.

— These canisters release a gas that will

eliminate the enemy. They will also eliminate your Commandos.

— The gas mask protects against gas attacks.

— Smoke canisters release a dense gas that

obscures enemy vision and causes choking.

Each Commando has the ability to perform stealth kills that will eliminate
the enemy with the minimum amount of noise.

ANTI-TANK MINES — Mines can be deployed on any type 
of ground (visible for soldiers but not for vehicles) but can only 
be buried on soft ground. Mines explode when shot and are
mission-specific.
