Best gun to kill the Skulls
Anybody know a good gun or item that I can use to kill the skulls without them knowing where I am or even if they did I just want them did within 1-2 shots!

I'm on level 29 just to let you all know as that's how far I got until I keep on dieing from it -_- but any help I need is very helpful!

I cant remember which skulls they are... if its the armour skulls just take d walker in with at least 1000 gattling gun rounds and mow them down with that... should take 5 minutes and you should get an s rank! ;)

ah thank you! I always been trying to find a way around them but all they did was kick my ass in the air!

Once you unlock it, which will be a while tbh, the Serval AMR-7 is great for skulls (and helicopters)

Serval or brennan sniper do lots of dmg on headshot

no problem dude! alternitively you can stay in the hanger and pick them off without them getting too close but the quickest way is d walker and probably the safest!

I was planning to do head shots only seems that's the week spot on them but the types I was fighting had loads of health and there health was blocked under a blue bar?

I did use tanks on them and it did seem to work but for some reason after it took to many hits my chatacter dump out of the dam thing so now from now all I will take any tank I see and use it for that level :P

Yes, if you damage them a bit they summon armor. if you focus one skull at a time you can kill them easily before they summon the armor. you can also shoot it off

If you're having trouble staying alive don't forget to use level 5 Battle Dress for the best defense possible. The Sneaking Suits will help you recover faster, but believe me when it comes to hardcore armored Skulls fights like mission 29 having more HP is more helpful than regen speed.

The most powerful sniper rifle you can use will always be better than explosives. (with some exceptions) During the mission where to the Bee's Sleep it's better to use your best grenade launcher because the Honey Bee missile launcher takes up your alternate Primary weapon slot.

Don't forget that mid-mission you can call a supply drop for new weapons without any penalty to your rating unless it's Stealth Camo or RANK 6+ gear that's for FOB missions. During Traitor's Caravan to complete all tasks you need to eavesdrop on 3 conversations before triggering a Skulls fight. It could be to your advantage using silenced tranq Sniper throughout the mission, then at the last pit stop you could call in a drop for a powerful sniper riffle before the fight.

Calling in a cheap rocket launcher drop to blow up the oil refinery at the end of Pitch Dark is an excellent way to save time and stealth. Follow that with a resource crate fulton extraction to end the mission if you have that ability.

The semi auto 50 Cal. sniper rifle for mist and camouflage skulls, and grade 5 rocket launcher (the one you get from a key dispatch mission) for armor skulls.

Use grade 5 sneaking suit, hell, you don't even need that, you can use olive dab fatigues and you'll be fine, unless you're doing the extreme version of those missions.

Skulls can't enter buildings, very helpful with that airfield mission.
