| - The opening cutscene is a continuation of the events that occured in Preston Hotel. It shows Agent Dorland and Agent LeRue attempting to outrun a gang of rioters while carrying Malcolm Vanhorn's body. Ethan is also present, but is lagging far behind. In a desperate attempt to shake the rioters, Dorland draws his handgun and shoots several of them, before turning his attention to a nearby transformer. The resulting explosion sends Ethan flying into a fence and creates a wall of fire, trapping Ethan with the rioters. By the time Ethan recovers, Dorland and LeRue have gone on without him. Ethan fights his way through the swarms of angry rioters into a nearby apartment building. There, Ethan battles a Steroid Thug and destroys meth labs, as he did in Preston Hotel. Radio messages and Channel 10 News broadcasts reveal that the rioting outside is getting progressively worse and that both the police and SCU are desperately trying to put a stop to it. After making it to the top of floor of the building, Ethan ziplines to another building across the street. Here, Ethan learns that the helicopter sent to extract the trio cannot stay too long due to the riots, and so Dorland and LeRue agree to load Vanhorn's body on board while they evacuate on foot. After making it down to street level again, Ethan finds LeRue alone in a fenced area, however, the agent refuses to open the gate and allow Ethan inside. LeRue flees the scene, forcing Ethan to find an alternate way inside. Once inside the fenced area, Ethan is ambushed by Inferi, whom he had previously encountered in Rock Bottom. After killing the thug, Ethan enters the factory next door via a large wooden plank. The ending cutscene shows Ethan being approached by a mysterious bum who briefly explains the Oro to Ethan before disappearing. Rosa then contacts Ethan, stating she will drive down there and personally transport Ethan to safety.
