impossible to get S tier on neon tomb because muslim enemies blow themselves up

[ghoul]

How are you supposed to obtain an S tier on the level 'Neon Tomb'? In order to obtain S tier, you cannot have anyone die. This includes your squad, the hostages and the terrorists. However, on this particular the map the religious enemies blow themselves up, its impossible to even arrest them, let alone negotiate.

Every other map I get S tier within a few tries, sometimes even first go. Neon Tomb I've been on for 2 days now.

as soon as they lie eyes on you, they run away and explode instantly.

Can you even get an S tier on this map wtf?]

EDIT:
Managed to unlock it using 'Stinger Grenades' instead of Gas and Flash grenades. Also for my squad traits I had:
Pacifier
Negotiator
Intimidator
Paramedic.

The top three all help each other in disarming opponents, as I managed to have every enemy drop their gun and surrender 'almost' instantly.

i managed to get S tier on that map, the problem is one of the suicide vest guys (their leader qusamani or whatever) takes a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ton of non lethal untill he finnaly surrenders

once you find him you need to hit him with non lethal for like one minute straight WITH NO PAUSES
if you stop hitting him with non lethal for more then 2 seconds and he stops getting stunned HE WILL BLOW UP

if you are doing the mission with AI they will empty their magazine on him and when they reload he will blow up

you have to time correctly so that when your AI is reloading you are shooting at him and vice versa

you also need some good luck to find him in some closed space with not alot of enemies so you and your team can focus on him because i have found him in the middle of the dance floor and only 1 AI was trying to stun him and i couldnt get there in time

I have the same problem, I can do whatever and somehow I never get S tier. Maybe the map needs re-balancing so that a blown up terrorist wont prevent you from getting S

It's definitely doable, I set all of my AI squad to have less than lethal and removed all the mags for their sidearm and increased the mag capacity for the less lethal guns.

I managed to get it after a few tries, you gotta be persistent that's all

Oh my God I just got S tier after posting this, used similar tactics to you and luckily had a great spawn for their leader. Also the "stinger" grenade was way better in making them give up compared to gas grenade, at least from my experience just then.

Also changed my squad so I had 1 negotiator, 1 intimidator and 1 pacifier. I guess those 3 all help each other since they make enemies surrender.

Yes I reckon the squad traits also impact this mission specifically A LOT more.

Sounds like fun [/s]

Not having a go at you, just the way the game has been done.

My setup was that two team members had shields, while the other two had heavy armor instead. All of the grenades were smoke, and each unit had at least one stinger. I checked between each room and used a stinger on rooms with immediate threats if I couldn’t throw smoke beforehand; otherwise, I just threw smoke in large rooms. I tried to engage enemies before they could see me. I had a pacifier and a negotiator on my team. On my first try, I almost S-ranked it, but my team members got incapacitated—not from an explosion or anything, but because they sometimes just stood there with their riot shields up while the enemy team kept shooting, breaking their shields and hitting them. 😅 I couldn’t reach them in time to stop it or gas the room.
