We'll provide you a tip that involves parachuting inside!

How to Get Inside Fontana Fort

Important Tips
Fly in a heli towards Fort Fontana in increasing altitude
Increase altitude to near maximum before entering the red zone
Enter the red zone while maintaining altitude
Count to 5 then parachute off the chopper before getting blown up

You must first gain access to a helicopter which is available in the El Este main guerilla camp. That's one down in the list of things you need, just now are timing and patience!

Flying towards Fort Fontana

Fly towards Fort Fontana while gaining altitude, this is for a good set up once you're near the red zone. It doesn't matter whether you go in from the back, middle, or front of the fort. What's important is the altitude of the helicopter.

Increase Altitude to Near Maximum Before Entering Red Zone

You absolutely do not want to fly so high that your helicopter experiences turbulence and will cause the aircraft to restart. Gun in for near maximum altitude so you can still weave through the air smoothly.

If you're not sure how high you can go, just keep increasing your altitude and keep an ear out for the turbulence alert that will sound off. From there you can descend a tiny bit.

Enter the Red Zone While Maintaining Altitude

You must bob the helicopter up and down to prevent the chopper's engine from restarting. Maintain the altitude as much as possible and get nearer Fontana Fort.

Parachute off the chopper before getting blown up

Once you've entered the red zone, a prompt will show up saying: RESTRICTED AIRSPACE! LEAVE OR BE SHOT DOWN. Start listening for a cannon sounding off. As soon as the prompt shows up, you have approximately 5 seconds at your disposal before you jump off.

Continue pushing forward as much as possible, while mainting a high altitude, and then parachute off from the helicopter once you hear the sound-off from the anti-aircraft cannon.
