Part of
- CheckpointsCheckpoints are small FND roadblocks you capture for XP and intel. Each one has a locked room you open with a key earned on capture, and a local who marks nearby anti-aircraft sites, ambushes and bases.
EsperanzaEsperanza is Yara's capital and largest city, and the heart of Castillo's regime. It is under martial law, most open streets are restricted areas, and the story only really sends you there near the end.

Good to know
- Esperanza's sky is covered by two invisible anti-aircraft defences that can never be destroyed, so reach it by road.
- Its locked room opens with the Esperanza South Checkpoint Keycard, which you get for capturing the post.
- Esperanza has 2 checkpoints in all.
- Spike strips across the road will pop your tyres if you try to blast through in a car.
- Guards have to run to the alarm to trigger it, so drop anyone heading for it first.
What's here
A small cluster of huts and outpost buildings around the road, manned by a handful of FND sentries. Expect an alarm and spike strips laid across the lane. A few checkpoints also carry an Antón Castillo billboard.
How to take it
Scout from a rise first and tag every sentry with your phone. Shoot the alarm box, or stop any guard who runs for it, and reinforcements will not arrive. Keep in mind that a guard who spots the broken alarm can still alert the rest. A suppressed weapon and a quiet approach keep this a short fight. Do not try to drive through, since the spike strips stop most vehicles.
Rewards
Clearing the post gives Dani XP and the key to the checkpoint's locked room, the Esperanza South Checkpoint Keycard. A local you can talk to after the capture reveals nearby anti-aircraft sites, ambushes, FND bases and other checkpoints.
Worth knowing
Esperanza has two hidden anti-aircraft defences that cannot be destroyed. They will shoot down aircraft and even kill you in a wingsuit or parachute, so come in on the ground.
