The Escape of Lydia is a single-player narrative expansion included in the Season Pass or available separately. Released in mid-2017, this DLC serves as a short prequel to the main story, putting you in control of Lydia, the female sniper previously introduced in the main campaign.

Key Features

• Prequel storyline featuring Lydia as playable character
  Experience events leading up to the main game, including Lydia’s escape after the assassination of General Rokva and subsequent pursuit by Georgian forces.

• Two mission structure: infiltration and long-range takedown
  The first mission focuses on infiltrating an occupied village to extract intel and optionally acquire a custom sniper rifle. The second mission tasks you with securing high ground, tagging targets via drone, and executing a precise, high-distance headshot against a key figure.

• Focused stealth and long-range gameplay
  Emphasis is on subtle infiltration, drone tagging, and precise sniper execution—stealth-conscious design mirrors core mechanics of the main game.

• Unlocks weapons and gear carried over from main campaign
  Lydia retains access to your main-playthrough loadout, including custom rifles and gear, offering continuity in equipment between missions.

• Optional exploration for hidden gear
  Completing side objectives allows you to find exclusive gear like the custom sniper rifle, before exfiltrating the area.

• Compact but story-rich content
  With only two missions, the DLC offers a brief but meaningful narrative expansion and a different perspective on events surrounding the main protagonist.
