Greased Palms breaks the singleplayer

[commandernikz]

Up until this mission, I was able to beat every level within 1 or 5 attempts. Ides of March was tough but you can plan effectively after a few attempts.

I have no faith that Greased Palms was tested before release. You have an armed suspect that you must arrest with team AI that will instantly shoot them, let alone the fact suspects now rarely surrender. You have to clear out a huge warehouse were the AI can and will easily snipe you and your teammates between boxes, conveyors, corners and railings that they will shoot through.

I'd take flopping on this mission on the chin just so I can see more levels but I can't. Multiple users have commented that even after passing the mission, there's no campaign progression. Do I spend another 2 hours trying and Alt-f4ing before passing to see no new levels unlocked?

I generally do not understand the intent behind the developers: Force me to install mods to access other levels *that I could already do prior to 1.0*? Just abandon the SP and focus on multiplayer? It's as if Void baked a nice cake but before serving it, let a stray dog take a bite before offering you a slice.

Yeah, getting killed by suspects you cant even see sucks. I dont know if I will ever complete this mission

[Trash]

Maybe I was just lucky but I beat this on my first/second try

[🪐Space_Owl🦉™]

Yeah, the warehouse with the conveyor belts is hell, at least with this AI. About the Agent you have to arrest, in my experience the best tactic is to pray that he's at the parking lot and you can shoot a couple well placed shots to his legs and incapacitate him or that he's inside his office and you can breach in with C2 or a flash/stinger.

If he's anywhere else, chances are the AI will notice him before you do and kill him.

[Namdaets]

This literally just happened to me.

SWAT instantly headshots the FISA agent across the warehouse because he's armed and hostile, and the mission fails. Brisa Cove was a tough challenge, but I don't even feel like trying on Greased Palms.

Edit: Luckily, occasionally the suspect gets shot by SWAT AI and goes down but is considered incapacitated but not dead, so there is hope.

[IFaceCamp]

Yep took me nearly 4 hours. If you're not willing to download and AI mod, I would recommend using a shield and letting your AI team follow you and kill everyone. Play wack-o-mole at different entrances to take out a few guys and then back out and go to the next entrance

Easy mission. The agent is always outside, nearby the vehicle park.

And there are usually 2 or 3 AIs accompanying him.

So clear that area first, I never had AI killed him, he has just a pistol so you can keep shooting his legs or torso so he is unconscious then tie him up. If you keep your distance, he is barely able to deliver any damage to you.

Or you can use flashes, gas to make him and other armed guards surrender and get close.

I don't understand you, people, you never try anything, no new approach, do not wedge doors, different areas, flashes, gas nades etc you just cry on the forums.

I have repeated this mission like 7 times already because I wanted to get A at least, and if one approach didn't work, I tried different one with different path and eventually I managed to get A and got all the objectives.

The game is hard, if you want to complete all the objectives and not fail, you need to think and reconsider your approach.

You can cheese it by swapping all your SWAT officers gear to pepperball guns, but it's kind of a meme. And they will sometimes pull a sidearm and shoot them anyway.

On these HVT capture missions you either have to cheese it or hope you get lucky and the HVT surrenders from a flashbang before the SWAT AI goes ham on them.

For this map specifically, it's very difficult to capture the HVT due to the AI having unrealistic sightlines in the warehouse/conveyor belt area and just shooting through tiny gaps.

Why would you say this when it's patently false? He can spawn in the main processing area, in a side office, and he's even spawned upstairs on the catwalk.

30+ tries, always at the same spot. Statistically implausible.

6 tries and he's spawned only on the catwalk, office, packaging area for me.
Stop making stuff up

[GothTrad]

He can actually spawn in the office downstairs by the catwalk. Other than that, I got a tip for you guys : two bullets to the chest. Enough to incapacitate him but not kill him. That's enough to complete the missions, and that's gonna be the key advice to complete others arrests like this one.

[NOF]

I completed all the missions almost on the first attempt at S rank. Until I got to this mission... after 40 attempts, I realized that it is impossible to walk with non-lethal weapons here (I am very stubborn). But, the fact is that even with firearms, this looks extremely difficult with this AI. On the one hand, the "special forces" go at the enemy with their backs, catching all the bullets, on the other hand, enemy bots that shoot at you through 9999 obstacles through the entire workshop when you physically cannot see him. C-c-combo! I've been trying to get an A grade for 5 hours now.
* It is fair to say that it is quite possible to complete the mission, but not above grade B

[Barnables]

I just finished it after some 30 tries or whatever (lost count)

so the best way i find of doing it is clearing the front area first then locking the warehouse doors and clearing the outside of the entire map withough getting infront of the loading bays (just kill whoever is outside and turn back) and then clear the other small building at the other end of the map

then send in your team to the back door next to that small building and as soon as they kill whoever is infront of them call them back out and lock the door

go back trough to the front door into the warehouse and breach from 2 doors at the same time

then work with one team at a time and send them to move ahead and clear everything

if you can manage to push both teams from different sides it helps a ton because if one of your teammates gets stuck in a AI blindspot where they just go stupid and cant shoot back at whoever is shooting at them the other team might be able to save the cop with the broken AI

[Beanis11]

Shoot the fisa dude in the stomach with an AP round and he should be incapacitated and you can arrest him

[Mikail]

Go from behind of warehouse by left side, it helped me alot u will kill snipers with pistols and after that go inside, its much easier to do.
