American Distillation medal objectives:
- Win the race back to camp
- Complete the mission without taking any damage
- Get 10 headshots
- Complete with at least 70% accuracy
You'll start this mission by visiting Dutch in Rhodes after completing The New South.
This is a slow going start - get off the wagon and look at the bodies when instructed, then head to the location on the map. After the cutscene you have a choice who to take down - we chose left - then to silently take down the two guards, indicated as red dots, on the map.
Approach from the back - wade through the water to the one by the bridge for one, then go over the bridge and round the side of the lake for the other - to do so safely. If you struggle to take them down, remember to hold L2 to lock on, then a prompt should appear.
After moving the second person, a firefight will break out nearby - nothing special or difficult here, but if you're after documents, there's an optional letter you can pick up by looting the bodies of this gang.
Once done, meet up with Dutch, who will offer you a race back to the camp. There's no reward for doing this, but if you want to win, keep an eye on your stamina meter, and don't be afraid to cut some corners.
