If you’ve downloaded the map ‘Captured’ and are having trouble navigating through it, this guide is for you. I created this guide to help those who were unsure of where to go in the game. At the end of the guide, you’ll find the link to the map. So, let’s get started!
Before we start
Also, if you just want to know where the keycards, boss and armory is, skip to the end, there will be screenshots provided. if you want to know HOW to get them, read through the guide. First keycard is in Warehouse and the 2nd keycard is in Office. Armory has it’s own section.
This guide will also be set to True difficulty, will try to knock out as many as possible, and will stay at 3 speed the whole run. Don’t be ashamed of saving. There are also not a lot of screenshots, so I’m sorry if you don’t understand what I’m trying to say in the guide. The guide will be updated with more pictures soon though. You can leave a comment in case you don’t understand something or something I didn’t mention.
Staring the map
After saving yourself, you will be found in a new room. There are 2 options in this room.
A. Jump through the wall
or
B. Go through the other vent
Now for this guide, lets say you went through the wall. Steve will remark that there is a silenced pistol under the table. Jump through the broken window, knock out the guy on the bed and grab the pistol.
You could keep going through the house, but for now, were gonna go back out the window and back into the room with the vent. We won’t use the pistol until later on, but use it for self defense and what not.
Depending on how fast you are, the guard will either be on the other side of the map, or near you. If near you, simply wait until he’s on the other side of the map. Jump through the window, go down until you see a wooden door to your left. Make sure that a guard is not watching the door and go in.
The guard in question, highlighted by a red circle.
Where to go, when the guard has past, make sure no one is watching the door and get behind the red line.
Warehouse
This scene will begin to play, afterwards a guard will now patrol a part of the map near that area.
If the Sawed-Off shotgun guy is standing at the barrel, and no one is watching him, choke him out and put it him in the dark.
Make sure no one is watching him when you take him out, otherwise, it won’t go so smooth for you.
For this guide, were gonna knock out all the guards, so pick them off one by one. They can’t see each other, so you’re good to kill them. Once all of them are gone, enter the little office area and pick up the keycard.
Keycard can be used to open camera room door and other doors.
This keycard can be used to open up almost every keycard door! Besides the exit doors though. With our newly found keycard, we’re gonna go back to where we started, in the broken window cell. Make sure to not get seen by guards or wait for them to pass by. Now would be a good time to save. If you
see no guards approaching the area,jump through the broken glass and enter the camera room.
Knock him out and all the cameras will be disabled, good for you! With that out of the way we now need to make our way to the armory for some goodies.
Armory
Wait for the guard to go left, make sure to not get seen by the guard near the bottom of the path. Follow the guard going left and knock him out.
For this guide, we’re gonna take him out and hide him in the dumpster blocking the alleyway between the house and the cells. Once you’re done with that, go into the warehouse and wait for a guard to pop up near the bottom of the warehouse.
Go through the warehouse and wait for the guard to pop up at the end of the sidewalk. Take him out when he’s looking away.
Depending on how fast you are, you’re either waiting for him, is watching the burning barrel, or is walking away. If you’re waiting, that’s fine. If he’s walking away, knock him out and hide him in the warehouse. After hiding him, follow the sidewalk and go into bush maze.
Bush maze is found near the warehouse, or bottom left of the map.
Try to knock out the people inside the maze or get through the maze without going getting caught.
Once through the maze, follow the little trail upwards and lock pick the breaker box. Equip your pistol and shoot the light out. Turn off the breaker box and wait for the guard to go through the door, either knock him out or shoot him.
Shoot the light out, then disable the power. The guard will come out and check on it, giving you a perfect amount of time to kill or knock him out.
With him gone, you can now enter the armory and grab the HSR-EMP and other goodies! Highly recommend picking up the EMP, as the guide will also use the EMP. Go through the vent into the warehouse and leave through the top entrance. Good spot to save as well.
Boss & Office
Wait by the dumpster, Once the guard appears, shoot him.
Once you’ve taken care of the guard or waited for him to leave, follow the path shown in the picture.
Watch the sidewalk and wait for a guard to appear, Take him out via your pistol or some other way. Follow the sidewalk and get to the broken window. Good time and spot to save at would be directly in front of the breaker box. They can’t see you there so you’re safe.
Be careful not to get seen here, use your EMP and zap the bottom light. Then zap the middle right light and enter the building. If you are fast enough, both guards will be near the bottom of the office and can easily be picked off.
If you’re not fast enough, you can either wait for them to both be at the top, and THEN zap the lights and wait for them to go down and knock them out.
Once they are both knocked out, enter the room where the Boss resides…
Once you’re done with the cutscene, pick up the keycard on the table, leave through the door and enter the vent.
Escaping and Tips
Boom! Ya did it. Some helpful tips/facts before we end things off.
1. Breaking the window in the alleyway while both office guards are at the bottom of the office, will only attract the camera guy. As long as the alleyway guard isn’t there, you can get rid of cameras that way.
2. After killing the Boss, you can jump through the broken window and follow the sidewalk. Sneak past both of the guards, jump through the broken window, lock pick the door, follow the sidewalk and escape!
3. 0 Kills is possible! (besides forced kills) Going loud on this map also isn’t really a punishment, you only have to stealth the first half for good guns, you could go into the kill room and pick up the shotgun as well.
4. There are multiple ways to beat the map, this is just one way! There are probably less complicated ways to beat the map but this is the one I found most reliable.
5. The guide picture is in the game files.

Warehouse, bottom left area has keycard for cameras and other areas.
Armory, Use breaker box to distract guard, watch out for cameras
Office, Boss room near the bottom, don’t forget to pick up the keycard in the boss room! Lunch room has keys to skip lock picking doors. Good for hiding corpses as well
