This and I would recommend praying to a deity of your choice. Sacrifice a lamb if you struggle.

anti stab vest to run 15 items. bring lots of gas/flash nades to use because you will need them for when the hostages are being held up by the suspects. You shouldn't need to run armor if you are experienced enough at getting S-ranks that's why i recommend Anti-stab vest or run no armor for the no movement penalty but as a con you can only hold 9 items. I personally would run anti-stab for the extra items because that mission can be a little annoying. It also depends if you are going in SOLO or with Swat AI. With Swat AI you can just run no armor easily.

Bring mirror gun, 3 wedges and a looooooooot of grenades of your choice (though, I prefer gas for non-lethal). Have your wedges put on your AI so you can hold more grenades to manually throw. Have 1 AI hold breaching tool (shotgun or ram) and bring flash. Do not bring pistol ammo, or a shield. I personally equipped the other 2 squaddies with launchers. Whatever non-lethal weapons you choose, but if you use pepperballs you better wear a gas mask.

Try to conserve as many grenades during the set up until you get to Eugene Gomez.


WEDGE 3 DOORS TO TRAP:
-Move and Clear the front desk (first door you see), the bathroom/staff area behind it, and then the hallway past that with the 2 doors facing the factory + the 1 door facing the garage to the outside.
-Wedge the 2 doors facing the factory. Clear the door to the left towards the outside garage.
-The next door will lead to a fenced outside area with a lot of concealment. Queue your team to flash and clear the door as you walk outside the garage and clear the outside of the fenced area.
-Wedge the door from the outside fenced area that leads into the factory.

*Those wedges will make sure all enemies inside the factory are trapped when you push from the far side so they can't escape grenades.*

PUSHING FROM DOCKING AREA TO EUGENE GOMEZ
-After you clear the outside fenced area and wedge the exit leading into the factory, walk outside through the trucks and engage the enemies in the docking area.
-After you clear the docking area, enter through the VERY far docking bay. Push from that entrance point to the back and arrest Eugene Gomez.

CLEARING THE FACTORY
-From Eugene Gomez, fight through the factory from the back to the front. You will only be fighting from 1 direction the entire time, but you will be outranged by AR's.
- To counter, this is when you use all your grenades. Tell your AI to deploy grenades/launchers while you're telling them to move and clear.
-As this is going on, you're also throwing grenades.
-You must be pushing constantly because once you run out of grenades, you will lose your initiative.
-Push until the wedged doors/FISA Office.
-After FISA Office, clear Upstairs Office Area.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't gotten it yet but I'm getting closer now.

yummy gave good advice,

This is one of the hardest maps to S on so keep trying you'll get it :)

[Gonzo850]

I give up for now. I'm gonna wait till the game gets updated again. I tried a few mods but they made it too easy and I quit. It wasn't feeling as rewarding. That packaging area is an unfair nightmare. I really don't think the devs thought this through or ever playtested S Rank on this level.

The good thing is that after practicing so much on this level it made the next one really easy. I almost got S rank on the first try.

Nine S ranks in, but this one has been kickin' my butt.

Hoping we eventually get official controller support so I can have an easier time commanding the squad.

[Jamesinator]

my advice is wait until they fix the AI cause right now that one area that houses alot of suspects is an absolute death trap. can complete the whole mission but that one area in the warehouse makes it impossible.
