Uncharted 2: Among thieves
Biography
Sarks are nicknamed the "Face-mask soldiers". They are always equipped with an RPG-7, but will use an grenade if you stay in one spot for too long, an easy way to see this is to play Chapter 20 - Cat and Mouse, the first Sark will be on the roof when you need to destroy the tank. They can be difficult to deal with due to their weapon power, but is otherwise easy to handle.
Combat Strategy
Single-player
- Sarks are one of the easier soldiers to defeat due to him wearing no helmet and having a quite slow reload time for the RPG (As well as the habit of shouting: "Fire!" or: "Get Down!" shortly before attacking, making him easy to find and his attacks somewhat easy to evade). Use a cover-chaining tactic to get close to him.
- Sarks will attempt to stay far away from you so he doesn't accidentally blow himself up. You can kill him using any weapon. Once he is down, you should take his RPG and finish off the rest of the soldiers you are fighting.
- You can also use a risky tactic before you kill him - friendly fire - by standing in front of enemies who are in front of a Sark. He might blow up his comrades. However this is very risky as he can easily kill the player this way.
Multiplayer/Co-op
- In multiplayer, Sarks appears much more than they doe in single-player. In Co-op Objective games (in The Sanctuary and Nepal Warzone maps), you will need to find a Sark, kill him, and use his RPG to blow up a wall or door preventing you from going on.
Multiplayer
Sark is also available as a multiplayer skin, and from the start, for free.
Uncharted 3: Drake Deception
Multiplayer
Sark is available in Uncharted 3 multiplayer, as part of the Classic Skin DLC that was released. In Uncharted 3 multiplayer, compared to the other soldiers who had their models changed in noticeable ways, Sark's character model is largely unchanged besides the colors. His outfit is now a mixture of gray and black, as opposed to the green color theme from Uncharted 2, the two rockets on his backpack now have a bronze tint to suit the RPG-7 model of Uncharted 3. Losing his iconic voice from Uncharted 2, the player now has to choose between the five default custom voices.
