Snipers in code talker mission, I hate you!!!!!

[every1hasnames]

Alright, I am currently playing another playthrough of the game. And Ive playing the mission you contact code talker. Before reaching him you have to deal with 4 skulls which are snipers.


There pissing me off lol. Im going lethaly. Using the serval amr 7 with a suppressor.
The way I am going about it this should be cake walk. They shouldnt spot me whatsoever.


This is what im doing. Im doing it at night time. IM always prone never do i crouch or stand. I sneak around and mark all 4 of them using nvgs following their lazers to find them. Once their marked. I move to a spot behind a rock or a tree that is also away from anywhere their lazers are pointing to. Meaning IM shooting from a direction they are not even looking.



I shoot one. IT hits. Gets the one i hit down to 1/3 health. (headshot with a powerful sniper rifle)


Before making my next shot i move to the opposite side of the map. Meaning I change locations significanly. Enough that they shouldnt be able to track me down after making my next shot.


But they do anyways. As soon as i make my next shot i just see another of the snipers lazer immedieatly go towards me i get the sniper crosshair on screen indicating they see me and i get shot. And before I can react one teleports to me and stabs and kills me with a mechete.


I shouldnt have been spotted in the first place grrr.


This is mostly venting btw. But I am wondering did they change the fight somehow or made it harder.


Because this is the strat i always used to defeat them cause i like out sniping them. But it doesnt seem to be working. When frankly it should be working.


btw i dont have a lazer on my sniper rifle so they cant bee seeing that or anything. It almost like the game is cheating lol.

No, they didnt change anything. You are just very bad at sniping

[JasonBourne]

use smokes

[Lar Dass]

One of the easiest missions. You really should grind your weapons and get higher grade equipment. I beat this mission after 60 hours of so of doing side content and fobs

A few things you can do (not against their cheating AI aimbot behavior tho):

- You can avoid them by crawling at the right of the river and near the end you'll find a waterfall, on the left side of the river you'll find a cracked rock you can climb meaning you can climb it in order to skip them, they'll come back later tho but you should use this opportunity to extract like 100 soldiers (wich is the max)

- If you manage to get behind them (by using what I said above for exemple) if you kick them it should be an instant KO.

- You can CQC them when they are close (see video)

- You can try to spot one, mark it and drop a supply box (or a tank) on them just like you can do with Quiet, not sure if that work tho.

Yes, you don't need to fight them. You can easily skip them without getting any attention. Take a look.

Thx for the replies and I already know about the other ways to deal with them and also have done them in other playthroughs.


I simply forgot about throwing smoke and shooting through the smoke. Which is necessary for the way i chose to go about this boss fight. Hehe.

[JasonBourne]

Glad to be of assistance

Just go prone
And crawl on the edge of a cliff
After mansion you will figure it out

You can't do anything to avoid them, they'll laser in on you no matter what. And every time I leave cover, whether it be after 5 seconds or 50 seconds, they track me through cover and spot me when I try to sneak out.

I ended up having to tranq them.

[Turkish Sharpshooter]

Use smoke and brennan. Throw the smoke and they will aim at smoke. When they do, you will have chance to shoot them. I farmed a lot of S soldier from that mission. Get noctayanin to spot them when they move. Very hard but you can take them out. Also you can sneak out when they distracted by smoke.

thats an option too

here's mine old safe attempt

nothing crazy and could be done much faster (first two minutes are obvious but mansion and past mansion are trickier due carrying Code Talker, zombie noticing you dont count as alarm)

ps quality is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it may hurt eyes
