Elephant did everything right but only got A+

[Barnables]

got all enemies surrendered and found everything
in the end screen i saw i wasnt missing anything at all but the score was just short of an S

what happened then?

[Arckeiner]

To get an S rank, you need to complete everything in A+ AND go less lethal and kill no one.

that is what i did ....

[CapoFantasma97]

Probably didn't save some civilians that got gunned down

[RICARDO DA SILVA]

you gotta stop the terrorists before they kill a SINGLE civilian wich is almost impossible to do. Welcome to the A+ Club

[SkebbZ]

That mode has a timer of 120 seconds from spawn before they shoot a civilian, then every 10 second they shoot another civilian.

i think one of the civies was wounded but not dead so it didnt give me all the points despite him still counting for me getting 100 % of all civies secured

I have done this a few times across different levels and still get stuck with an A+ rating. I just ran 23 Megabytes Per Second twice and A+ even though both were spotless.

Have to split ya team, attack from the two entrances, hoping you get 2 shooters aside. Don't ♥♥♥♥♥ foot around, get in and go hard.
I was left side entrance, shooter 1 was behind the entrance which sucked but is a good spot, it's just likely to take a hit. Second shooter was at the steps, this is vital, if you don't surrender him, he will run and kill.
I haven't been a right side breacher, so can't give info on that side, but I know it's alot more rooms to deal with.

i managed to do it by just sprinting arround the hallways trough and ignoring all the locked doors
it seems that after 2 or 3 minutes the shooters will shoot a kid in the shoulder and leave him wounded but alive and thats what made me fail before

I've S'ed every mission in the game as of today. It *is* doable but its very difficult and yeah Elephant's a b*tch. The part that kind of sucks is you can do everything less lethal, and the contacts will still pop the civvies or their buddies you've arrested (caught in cross fire or contacts go and take the cuffed person hostage) and it rips the S rank from you (to be fair you can pick up and move arrested persons so you could lock them in a safe room with wedges.

For Elephant in particular, I found it best to wedge a couple doors to split the area in half. Then split the team with one holding a doorway that commands vision on as much area as possible and just rush to find and arrest each shooter in one half of the building with 2 team members. Since the shooters can roam, they can run into your team holding the doors which makes it a bit easier. Once you've secured half the building, move on to the second and wedge the door behind you to delay/discourage flanking. When you encounter contacts, as soon as you have the cuffs on, leave them there (dont even secure the weapons and dont secure civilians) and move on. Mentally note the bomb locations as you discover them. This may still require you to repeat the level, there is unfortunately some luck involved... took me a couple tries.

Also side note to this - Gas mask, pepper balls, and CS gas are your friend for less lethal in most situations (I tend to carry a beanbag shotty and have the team run pepper balls). Gas masks stop pepper ball effects on you, and the balls have a short-ranged effect similar to gas grenades. The gas grenades have the widest and longest subduing effect as well (but its obviously not instant and the enemy will try to flee the effect area).

got S on this too after many tries, go fast, dont cuff civilians, i found you can command them to run to the exit, saving you time to clear the area and focus on finding the active shooters.

[Major Issue]

A+ too, light armor, sprinting since the beginning, leaving civs and bombs behind for later, after many many tries my best was one civ killed.

[Werebuns]

Just S'd it. Took me a few tries but I ran through looking for suspects and ignoring everything else. My team all had pepperball guns. Went into the main entrance, had one team clear the right wing initially while I went upstairs, had the other team clear the lecture room, went through the library and hall next to it, after my team was done clearing I had them fall back in on me. One thing to note is you move faster at the low ready.

[[BLK] Telu]

It's simple, S Rank = Need 35 points per suspect arrested. And collecting all evidences and save all civilians (+35). If you didn't got that, you did something wrong.

[Wallstrider]

How I did: Everyone in heavy armor with pepper guns. Equip a shield and spam yell for complience (important) it distracts active shooters then rush every door with the shield while your team using pepper and restraining. After all suspects are restrained just defuse 2 bombs and cuff civilians.
