"The war for this city is nearly over, and we are gonna end it today."

— Cole, briefing Campo and Blackburn

Night Shift is the ninth Single Player mission in Battlefield 3. The Misfit team is back in Tehran, Iran to take down Faruk Al-Bashir.

Synopsis

Clearing the way for the Marines

The mission starts out with Henry Blackburn and Steve Campo on a building overlooking the Misfit's LZ, and the player is ordered to take out the lights. Throughout the rooftops, the player then needs to protect Cole and the squad from PLR forces across the streets.

Stealth priority

When allowing Cole to reach to the next street, Blackburn and Campo goes down on street level. In these events, the player must avoid contact with the PLR as it is required for the player to sneak through checkpoints - from alleys up to overpasses. When you reach another rooftop, you are again required to secure Cole's team.

Al-Bashir's location

The player then goes down a few buildings and finds the place where Jonathan Miller was executed, you then fight your way down to another sniping point, then you assist with Misfit teams's assault on Al-Bashir's presumed location. It takes several enemy waves as the Misfits search the location. After fending off the PLR, Al-Bashir tries to escape in a vehicle, the player sprints to the top of a nearby building, in which you shoot Al-Bashir's vehicle, disabling it and incapacitating him.

Defending Campo and the HVT

You then go to a mall where you fend off the oncoming PLR forces until you can be extracted with Al-Bashir. Afterwards, when extracted by a V-22 Osprey, on the verge of death after a medical injection, he then tells you information about Solomon, and his plan to detonate the two remaining nukes and how he was betrayed by Solomon. Al-Bashir then dies, while Campo and Blackburn check his cellular phone for extra intel.

Trivia

• During part of the mission, Cole states that he does not want a "Bin Laden style revolution", which is a reference to how the US Navy killed Osama bin Laden during a kill/capture mission.
• If you shoot out all the lights with only 4 bullets of your sniper rifle, you can earn the Army of Darkness Achievement/Trophy.
• When you and Campo are in the room where Miller got executed, you can see his dinsoaur toy on the floor near the chair. Campo will examine it.
