After using the huge magnet to destroy the machine guns, as described in the previous section, climb the stairs near the CRANE CONTROL ROOM, vault carefully over the railings...
...return to the long ladder...
...and climb back down. (Again, with tank controls, you can release and re-press Action to descend ladders quickly.)
The third soldier (6) is still here, but if you stand at the bottom of the ladder, he should approach, turn around, and head back the other way.
NOTE: If you don't mind missing the ammo he'll drop, you can take another shortcut here. See below.
Run toward him then switch to Stealth when you get a little closer.
Sneak up behind him...
...and knock him out.
He also also drops Mag Vega ammo (7). Move to the middle of the catwalk.
Vault over the railing to land on the shipping container below. Drop down, and exit through the green door at the end of the tracks on the floor.
- OR -
Alternatively, if you don't care about that last pickup, after destroying the guns and climbing down the long ladder, head back toward the control room where you killed the first soldier. Climb down the ladder on the right.
Then proceed to the exit. The soldier above should remain unaware.
As long as you didn't alert any of the first 6 enemies, the "Silent as a Mouse" achievement/trophy should pop as you enter the next room.

DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
