How do modern people deal with heavy armor

[Los Pisos]

I'm just passed through misdion 22, so I've unlocked online FOB mechanic. There is an ongoing event to infiltrate KillStreak's FOB, and guards here are equipped with really tough armor. I can't either tranq or stun them, my bullets just plink off their helmets and vests. Sneaking around and taking them out with CQC is really tiresome. I tried more lethal approach, and I figured out that only rockets and nades kill them fast. What do? Reflex mode is useless here, so I go loud instantly

Use more non lethal methods. You can throw empty magazines, leave behind a decoy, or make noise by hitting a wall.

So it's still all about CQC? It sure improves my skill, but I'm concerned about high price of my mistakes. I beat easy level, but guards basically wipe me out on medium and hard levels.

Anti-materiel rifles work fine (Brennan LRS-46, Serval AMR-7, Molotok-68), so does the Tornado-6 revolver.

Non lethal isnt always CQC. Use other items.

You don’t have to go lethal to deal with heavy armor. One of the easiest ways of cheesing past armored enemies is using an active decoy to distract a whole group of them and then using the rocket fist to knock them all out in one go. You can clear an entire platform with this method, pacify them by waking them up and pointing a gun at them, and then head to the core unhindered

I personally use AM D114LB-9 grade 5 or higher grade pistol. It's a one shot to the head kill on any armored guards, also way more silent than using a 1 shot penetration sniper. Try that.

D-dog is pretty good in some missions. Even if you are already detected it can work. Send d-dog on one guy who is just beyond a wall then you supress another guy with shotgun or rifle until you reach CQC range.

If there is 3 guys after you however you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and usually have to go lethal. Beware as heavy infantry with shotgun is just nasty in close range.

I recommend the silenced non letahl shotgun it's the only weapon that can effecitly neutralize them non lethally.

I had the same issue when I started doing FOB events. That one kind of sucks because you need to develop some weapons to be effective, but isn't a must have. I started using the AM D114-9. It's a handgun that can pierce helmets, one head shooting an armored enemy, but it's a lethal weapon and probably I'll put enemies in alert mode. After learn some routes, seeing some videos, I discovered that you can abuse the Smoke Grenade in you favor. For some reasons, when you use it properly, the enemies will pay attention to the smoke instead of you. Combine that with the Urban Camo, at night, and you can past most of them if you know where they're going. Later in the game you develop the S1000 AIR-S, at grade 7 with two shots you stun your enemies.

Start doing the easy mode, know how to get the most of the objectives in a run and you can get most of the costumes before the event ends (you got 2 days).

TL;DR: Being lethal: Use AM D114-9 to pierce through helmets, head shooting your enemy.

Being non-lethal: See some videos and learn how to use Smoke Grenades in FOB Events. Use the proper camo to be more stealth. Later in the game get the grade 7 S1000 Air-S for a two-shots stun. Play easy mode to learn how to use your gear. Do dolphin dive.

Hope that helps, that's how I deal with armored enemies.

This till you obtain the AM114RP. Then use that.

Smoke is kinda op in this game for sure. Just look at the stuff you can pull off with fully-upgraded smoke grenades
