The Guns Of Tharsis is the only Free Fire Zone liberation mission in Red Faction: Guerrilla, where the Red Faction must traverse the zone by dodging the gun blasts, among side Alec Mason who needs to reach the EDF Artillery Base in order to destroy three main power cores which powers up the guns, allowing the Red Faction to move into Eos sector.
Briefing[]
Hugo Davies: Welcome to D-Day, Mason. Parker, Dust and Oasis are now free of EDF control. These guns are all that stand between us and Eos. Colonel Broga's data has exposed gaps in their artillery coverage. We've plotted multiple lines of attack to exploit them. Here's your path, Mason. Follow these waypoints and don't wander off. The odds are against us, and a lot of people won't be coming back. But if we can't silence those guns, the fight for Mars is over.
Walkthrough[]
First off drive your vehicle to the rendezvous point where you'll meet up with three Red Faction drivers. Join them and traverse the zone by following each yellow waypoint without being hit by other drivers that could block your way and the gun blasts rain.
Checkpoint!
Once you reached the bridge you'll have to destroy three power cores with explosives or rockets located within the EDF Artillery Base. Each building will be heavily guarded so its the best way to fly through each building and killing every EDF soldier in your way. When all the power cores are destroyed, the mission is complete and the sector is liberated.

After Meeting Up with the Group

Trivia[]
- As this is the sole mission in the Free Fire Zone, it is highly recommended that the player raise their morale before doing this mission. This can be accomplished by earning killing sprees.
- It is possible that the name of this mission is a reference to the song The Guns of Brixton by The Clash
