attack. DeFalco helps Menendez, who has regained his freedom, take hostages. When Briggs tells young Salazar to shoot Menendez and his men, he becomes a fraud and shoots his own men. Now there are four options. If Chloe and Farid are on the bridge, DeFalco throws Chloe to the ground, but is cut down in time by a headshot from Farid. If Chloe is alone on the bridge, DeFalco slashes her neck and throws the body on the ground. If only Farid is on the bridge, he shoots DeFalco in the stomach, but is himself taken down by a shot from his dying former boss. However, if neither Farid nor Chloe are on the bridge, DeFalco plays no part in Salazar’s deception.

As DeFalco is about to kill Harper, Mason interrupts this process with a KAP-40, ending the lives of DeFalco and his subordinate. If DeFalco died earlier in the story, his role will be replaced by another mercenary.
