Campaign mission: Protect the VIP

[Darthvegeta800]

Any hints or tips? I'm quite stuck in this mission in the 2nd campaign.

Which one is that again?
The one at a train station where a baddie moves toward the vip and executes him if he isn't stopped?

If you have the problem, that the VIP will be killed, you have to hurry up. Move one or two troopers to the second train. Go inside and time the movement. They will shot the bad guy through the windows before he can find him in the restroom. Before you can move the VIP you have to get a trooper in his range. After that you can move him like one of your guys.

If you were killed before or after that point. You have to find save spots. Which means points where you can shot but don't get killed.

Remember, your primary missiontarget is to save the VIP. So if it gets to hard, just move him to the savezone. You don't have to kill all terrorists.

Excuse my bad english. It's not my native language :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. This however is one on the street with the parked vehicles. Buildigns at the top and at the bottom. You move from the upper right corner and the extraction zone is on the left down corner. Problem is baddies are very tough. One comes from below and throws lethal grenades. Takes a moment to even take him out wihtout dying. Moving onwards too slow isn't an option as grenades are even thrown into buildings. And as I move baddies tend to seriously wound my guys.

I try to keep all my guys alive and that's the big problem. That and the baddies soak a lot of hits.
Hurrying to the extraction point doesn't help too much either as it tends to expose my VIP... with lethal consequences.

I tend to go assault heavy on this mission. 3 assault guys.
I'm starting to wonder about perhaps playing some single missions just to be able to unlock some heavier armor. Which might be enough to keep me going.

Ah yes that one is a pain in the ass.

What I did for that mission is, I have all my trooper going as the stealth class wearing extended armor, and I avoid engagement if possible.

I have all my troopers carrying flash bang + stinger, and I always toss a bunch of grenades before crossing open area. If i locate a hostile with body armor, I toss a stinger right on top of his position, which usually is enough to incapacitate him.

I move my troops through the buildings as much as possible to avoid exposure to enemy fire, and I only tell my trooper to open fire when absolutely necessary to avoid unwanted attention.

Hope this helps. If you need more info, I can post a video of my replay. It wasn't exactly smooth or pretty, but it was a 3-star clear.

[Darthvegeta800]

Hmmm thanks for the info. Don't have the stealth class. Perhaps the game expects me to grind single missions a bit more to unlock the stealth aspect and some better items?

[Fish]

I wouldn't say that's necessary, but having more options for different situation definitely opens up more tactical approaches.

It's on german but if you watch it, you can see what I do to beat the mission without losing troops. The fails are in that video too :)

I'm Belgian so I know a bit of german. I'll take a look at it when i try again. Thank you! :)

I'm stuck at the one on the Train Station where do you have to escort the VIP. I kill all hostiles and come through the VIP without losing any men, but no matter whatever I do, the VIP won't follow me so that I can escort him. any tips?

You can move the VIP like any other trooper.
