Episode 36: (Total Stealth) Footprints of Phantoms
Mission Objective: Eliminate all the Walker Gears deployed to Ditadi Abandoned Village.
S Rank Requirements & Tips: Bring some active decoys and C4 to this mission. Use the sneaking suit and infiltrate at night. Approach the enemy camp from the east and crawl up to the walkers. They are guarded by enemies, so throw your decoys to distract them. Now crawl up to the walkers and place some C4 on the ground next to them (one C4 per walker). Leave the camp and blow up the C4, then leave the hot zone on horseback.
Note: “Total Stealth” means complete stealth is required, and you’ll go ‘Game Over’ upon detection by an enemy. Also, Chicken Hat and Reflex Mode is unavailable.
Episode 37: (Extreme) Traitors’ Caravan
Mission Objective: Extract the cargo a PF convoy is believed to be transporting as payment to Cipher. The cargo must be extracted along with the transport truck.
S Rank Requirements & Tips: Very easy if you already know the location of the truck (mission target). It always has the same location, just go where I go in the video. Use the Fulton device to extract it, then escape the hot zone on horseback.
Note: “Extreme” means it’s a high difficult level, where Chicken Hat and Reflex Mode is unavailable.
Episode 38: Extraordinary
Mission Objective: Using the photograph in an informant’s final transmission, retrieve the film canister containing classified information.
S Rank Requirements & Tips: Your only objective here is to find a tiny film canister collectible and leave the area. The canister has 3 different spawn locations, all in the ruins close together. I show you all 3 possible spawn locations in this video. Infiltrate at night, equip the sneaking suit and night vision goggles! With night vision you will see the film canister highlighted in yellow color, which makes it much easier to see. In the iDroid’s mission tab you can see a blurry picture of where the canister will spawn.
Episode 39: (Total Stealth) Over The Fence
Mission Objective: Extract the engineer who tried to defect from a Soviet base camp and is now being held at Wakh Sind Barracks.
S Rank Requirements & Tips: On the west side of the enemy base is a crack in one of the rocks. Climb up and you can skip almost all enemies. There are only two guards where the prisoner is. Put them to sleep and get the prisoner. There’s a hole in the ceiling, put him there and use the fulton device to extract him.
Now simply get back to your horse and ride away to escape the hot zone. Mission complete!
Note: “Total Stealth” means complete stealth is required, and you’ll go ‘Game Over’ upon detection by an enemy. Also, Chicken Hat and Reflex Mode is unavailable.
Episode 40: (Extreme) Cloaked In Silence
Mission Objective: Eliminate the sniper known as Quiet.
S Rank Requirements & Tips: This S-rank is all about speed. Unlike the previous encounter with Quiet in Episode 11 you cannot use supply drops to defeat her this time. She will always jump away in the last second. So instead you should defeat her with a sniper rifle. Stay near the starting point (you can see the spot where it is in the video). From there you can always see Quiet and defeat her quickly. Aim from cover for half a second to make her shoot at you. Then you have 2 seconds to aim at her before she fires the next shot. If you miss she will jump away and you have to search for her again. So make every shot count.
Note: “Extreme” means it’s a high difficult level, where Chicken Hat and Reflex Mode is unavailable.
