*spoiler* Biff

[echoes222]

So, just witnessed radio exchange and apparently, there is a squad on its way to kill Biff. SHould I rush to the other side of the map? What will happen if I'll ignore this event/quest (I am a bit deep into freeing Cacao so that's that :D )

[Mikhail }>СМЕРШ<{]

He'll die, and it's not an easy mission, so unless you're prepared for alot of combat I'd suggest a second play-through for him.

I had finally taken Cacao and was about to take mine #3 when I got the message from Biff, about the squad coming to kill him. So I fought my way across land to get to him. It wasn't that hard getting to him, but the battle to protect was heavy duty and he reveals a massive (if obvious) plot twist that felt very premature for where I am in the game (just getting started).

Apparently, defeating the squad sent to kill him is sufficient to protect him (for a while?), so I think I will reload to that point and just not enter his sector, instead building up my squad.

This sequence confused me. After the radio event, there was a squad on the way to A8 and I went out of my way to quickly take Pantagruel and haul ass to A8. I intercepted that squad on A9. So, what then? The game still seemed to want me to go to A8 to save him and I did. Fight was long but not hard (hey Fox), on First Blood. Barry and his shaped charges and fully modded Dragunovs make short work of everything.

I've intercepted that squad and going to leave Biff alone for a while. Will see if that will break some quests or not, heh.

If u go to biff it seems it triggers the refuge camp scenario. I killed (intercepted) the attacker and just went on doing different missions. The refuge camp scenario then got triggered later on without the biff interaction. I am assuming refuge camp scenario is time triggered unless u force it by visiting biff. Also not sure if communist rebels come for the green diamond if u make their leader retire and give the rebels to mercs. (I saved biff in one of my saves without interaction with rebels, mid fight rebels showed up demanding the green diamond. I reverted my save and skipped helping biff not wanting to have refuge camp scenario triggered).

[Lightning]

I intercepted the squad first then took over some south areas and managed to stop biff from dying for like 2 weeks or something completely forgot about that thing he sent out earlier

[Paul]

How the hell do I keep Biff alive? And is it actually worth it?

I cannot heal him (says full HP) but he bleeds out on next turn..

[Yuri Kossori]

my note about him is red. i assume he is dead. no way i can reach him coz my team just captured the mine on the top left through boat and half my team is tired.
maybe next playthrough

[Bloodwest]

I saved him. Decent 6-man comp piloted by a competent player(s) can takedown all those waves with ease even on max difficulty. The only annoying thing are random bombardments which AI isn't too keen on avoiding. I can tell he isn't supposed to survive all this on his own.
After I was done with attackers, I had two options:
A) Take green diamond by force, it's worth 50k;
B) Have him provide valuable intel on one of your shady contacts - Corazon
While hefty sum is tempting, I went with B.

Did Chimurenga showed up to collect back the green gem? he did in my previous playthru, but some how i can't seem to reproduce that outcome.

And i don't have the option for biff to surrender back the gem

I think he shows only if you haven't make him retire. Also, because of Grizzly, I've started calling him Chimichanga and I'm lovin' it :D

So apparently when you enter A8 and speak to Biff the game turns into a Battle Royale. No RETREAT!

If you bring Larry and Smiley then Biff gives them the gem and he gives you the intel. You can give the gem to the Museum.

If you keep the gem in inventory of squad B and give it to the museum with squad A it lets you keep the gem (same as any other relic)
