Clearing the streets of Gotham City is one of the most rewarding challenges in Batman: Arkham Knight. The Arkham Knight's militia has established fortified checkpoints across Miagani Island, blocking civilian access and creating tactical obstacles for the Caped Crusader. Fulfilling the "Own the Roads" Most Wanted side mission requires players to track down and dismantle each of these encampments systematically.
Locating the Northern Bridge Checkpoints
The first major cluster of militia fortifications can be discovered near the primary transit lines linking the districts together. A highly fortified checkpoint blocks the eastern approach near Mercy Bridge, utilizing heavy barricades and automated defense turrets to restrict movement. Players must utilize high vantage points on nearby buildings to scan the layout before diving into combat.
Another notable barrier sits directly along the western pathways leading toward Founders Island. This location features multiple armed soldiers alongside automated scanners that can track Batman's movements if he approaches carelessly. Sneaking behind the main terminal allows you to disable the central command console safely.
Uncovering Hidden High Rise Fortifications
Unlike the standard ground barriers, several tactical checkpoints are positioned vertically within the urban infrastructure. One of the most easily missed locations is situated on a raised plaza near the Elliot General Hospital complex. This elevated zone is heavily guarded by martial artists and armed combatants, making a direct assault highly risky.
To clear these high-altitude positions effectively, players should upgrade their Disruptor gadget to sabotage enemy firearms beforehand. Dropping down silently from the hospital roof allows you to initiate fear takedowns and scatter the remaining forces quickly. Once the area is clear, detect the squad leader to destroy the terminal.
Dismantling Central and Southern Outposts
The southern reaches of the island near the iconic Wayne Tower hold the final set of strategic barriers. A massive checkpoint surrounds a small courtyard just southeast of the tower, packed with specialized brawlers and a heavy minigunner. Standard combat tactics can prove difficult here due to the tight space and overlapping fields of fire.
Utilizing the surrounding structural walls to break line of sight is crucial for thinning out the ranks. Luring individual guards away from the minigunner allows you to dismantle the defense piece by piece without taking heavy damage. Defeating the commander concludes your tactical sweep of the island's infrastructure.
