Run 1: The Last Charges, Fortune and Fatman

Freeze the Strut A and Strut B charges, take the late guards' tags, then run the two timed legs to the Deep Sea Dock and the Strut E Heliport and win both fights there.

You come back into Strut A over the F-A bridge with the Coolant Spray, Sensor A, the Lv.1 Card, the M9, the SOCOM and the Mine Detector. This stretch freezes the charges left in Strut A and Strut B, takes the guards who only turn up on this second pass, then picks up Sensor B, which starts the first of two timed legs. It ends on the Strut E Heliport with a new card and a uniform. Left for later: the guards who only show up after the Heliport fight and the Lv.2 rooms in Strut F, which the next section sweeps.

Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Pump Room – From the F-A bridge, enter the Pump Room and take the door into the south room full of pipes. Keep to the right-hand side, step over the low stairs beside the pipes and crawl left beneath them, then turn and crawl along the red pipe: the charge is at its end. Freeze it with the Coolant Spray.
Requires
Summary
One of the charges the bomb hunt asks for, tucked among the pipes in the Pump Room's south room.

Box 1 (Plant, Pump Room)ItemMissablePoint of no return
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Pump Room – Same room of pipes as the charge. Go over the small steps in its bottom-left corner, crawl under the first pipes on your right, then climb over the low block below them: the box sits there.
Why you can lose it
Pick it up while the charge brings you here; the Shell 1 struts are out of reach once the Shell 1-2 bridge falls, except for a short timed dash through Strut E much later.
Point of no return
Shooting out every Semtex control unit on the Shell 1-2 bridge: walking on starts the fight that wrecks it, and Shell 1 can't be walked back into this run.
Requires
Summary
A cardboard box for perishable food, one of the five Plant boxes. Every box in the game counts toward the all-boxes trophy.

Dog Tag: Strut A, Roof, guard 1 (Normal)CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Roof – Climb the Pump Room stairs back up to the Roof and look for the guard now posted there; sweep the roof if he is not in sight. Come up behind him with a gun out, step round to his front and aim at his head until the tag drops. Taking him now, before the dock charge, beats coming back later, when mines are laid on this roof.
Why you can lose it
He is posted here only after Stillman's briefing; the Shell 1 struts are out of reach once the Shell 1-2 bridge falls, except for a short timed dash through Strut E much later, so take it on this pass.
Point of no return
Shooting out every Semtex control unit on the Shell 1-2 bridge: walking on starts the fight that wrecks it, and Shell 1 can't be walked back into this run.
Requires
Summary
One of Normal's 49 Plant tags, held by a guard who joins the Strut A Roof once Stillman has been met.

Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Roof – Still on the Roof after his tag, equip Sensor A and look past the fence gate in the corner you crawled through. If the sensor finds a charge there, freeze it. If the roof reads clean, there is no charge on this difficulty: go back down to the Pump Room.
Requires
Summary
A charge is reported on the Strut A Roof on harder settings; on Normal the roof is expected to read clean. A quick look settles it while you are here for the guard.

Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut B, Transformer Room – The other guard in the Transformer Room; sweep it. Hold him up the same way, from behind and then from the front. If he won't give in, wound him once in an arm or a leg with a suppressed gun and aim at his head again.
Why you can lose it

Two timed legs ahead

Taking Sensor B starts a countdown of a few minutes to the Deep Sea Dock, and the fight there is followed by a second countdown, about as long, to the Strut E Heliport. Take the two Dining Hall guards before you open the pantry, and save through Rose first. Running out of time ends the game, but the ring of struts stays open once both legs are done.

Dog Tag: Strut C, Dining Hall, guard 1 (Normal)CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut C, Dining Hall – From the Strut B charge, leave by the far door, cross the B-C bridge and enter the Dining Hall. A guard in the Dining Hall; sweep it. Hold him up from behind, then from the front, before you go near the pantry.
Why you can lose it
He appears only on the return for Sensor B; the Shell 1 struts are out of reach once the Shell 1-2 bridge falls, except for a short timed dash through Strut E much later, so take it on this pass.
Point of no return
Shooting out every Semtex control unit on the Shell 1-2 bridge: walking on starts the fight that wrecks it, and Shell 1 can't be walked back into this run.

Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Deep Sea Dock – Run back through Strut B to the Pump Room, up the stairs to the Roof and down in the freight lift.

Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut A, Deep Sea Dock storage room – After the Codec call at the pool, walk into the storage room with the first Node.

Requires
Summary
A fight you can't win by damage: she shrugs off every hit, so the goal is to stay alive until it ends.

FatmanHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMinor spoiler
Location
The Plant: Shell 1 · Strut E, Heliport – The fight starts when the centre charge is frozen. Each time he plants charges, find them with Sensor A, on the sides, tops and undersides of the containers (crawl under, or look in first-person view), and freeze them before they go off. In between, knock him over with a punch-punch-kick combo, a Claymore or shots while he stops to catch his breath, and hit his head while he is down. Use the M9 for those head shots: a non-lethal win is the safe way to get his tag. His trophy comes with the win.
Requires
Summary
The bomb expert behind the charges, on roller skates. He plants fresh charges round the pad while you fight him.

About this guide

Four runs of the Tanker-Plant game on one save chain, each started from the last run's clear save. Run 1 on Normal sweeps every pickup, secret and dog tag. Runs 2 and 3 on Easy and Very Easy collect that difficulty's dog tags, because tags add up across difficulties and the Stealth rewards need more than one difficulty holds. Run 4 on Extreme is the Big Boss run: under three hours, no kills, no alerts beyond the scripted ones, no special items, few saves. The VR and Alternative missions, Snake Tales, Boss Survival and Casting Theater sit outside the runs, in the menu.
