Rise of the Tomb Raider Soviet Installation guide: How to complete everything in the open area

Soviet Installation Challenges

Soviet Installation - Data Corruption


Destroy 10 red laptops.

Laptop #1

The fi🧸rst chance you have for this challenge is during your escape from the prison area, though you can come back later if needed. Most of the laptops are within the large courtyard where you have to open the gate, and the first is sat on a crate next to the gate itself.

Laptop #2

The second laptop is close by on top of another cra🥀te.

Laptop #3

The third laptop can🌱 be found outside the small office, where the gate controls are located.

Laptop #4 & #5

Go inside that same office, where two more laptops are sta🅺shed.

Laptop #6

After you've opened th🍷e gate𓄧, there's a laptop immediately on the other side.

Laptop #7

During yo𒐪ur fight with the Trinity soldiers, look on the right before you drop into the hole in the ground.

Laptop #8

Just past the gate𒈔 at the Gulag camp, there's a shack with the laptop inside it. This is easier to collect once the shooto🅠ut is done.

Laptop #9

Ac🐎ross the way is another shack with a laptop in it, and if you pꦑulled down the roof using your new rope arrows you might have already destroyed it.

Laptop #10

Inside the building with the dead so🐲🌜ldiers, you'll find the final laptop for this challenge.

Soviet Installation - Difference of Opinion


Burn 7 posters.

Poster #1

You can't finish this challenge until you have Fire Arrows available,ꦬ🔴 but you can use Molotov cocktails for most of the targets. The first poster is within a large building by the trains, and you should look out for a rope arrow door to open as you ascent to the upper area. The poster is displayed on a wall to the other side.

Poster #2

As soon as you learn howܫ to craft Molotovs, check the corner of that area to find a flammable barrier above a platform. Torch it and you can reach a poster on the otherℱ side.

Poster #3

After you get to the room with chutes, spot a rope arrow door that you can pu꧙ꦓll open. Slide down the chute then jump off the end, so you can climb to the upper floor of the building you couldn't reach previously, where the poster hangs.

Poster #4

From the same area wit꧒h the chutes, head to the fenced-in deck then turn around to locateꩵ this poster above the entrance.

Poster #5

When you're getting close to the m🌌ill's final section, lo🌊ok out for this poster hanging from a window.

Poster #6

From the previous poster, desce♏nd th꧒e ladder you used before and jump over to the ledge shown above. The poster is attached to the wall of that deck.

Poster #7

During the battle at the top of thꦡe mill, you can burn down the final poster. After you crawl into the last room, immediately check the walkway to find it.
