METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

[Extreme] Cloaked in Silence non-firearm task?
What is the deal with this task? I've seen a couple videos showing guys using a stun grenade and sleeping grenades to get this task. I've taken her out twice with stun grenades, and I don't get completion of this task.

When I Google about it I find forum chat verifying what I'm saying, and most of them are using melee after calling in Sand and Rain storms to beat her and get the task. One of the vids using stun and gas grenades has the author verifying task completion is hit and miss with that method.

So, do you have to use melee to get this task?

You can also do it by dropping a supply crate on her head, but the timing is tricky.

The way I eventually did it was to use Stealth Camo, wait till she was within reach, and just cold-clocked her repeatedly until she got knocked out.

Yeah I know some use drops, but it's too risky without a certain helmet you can equip, via playing as one of the Diamond Dogs other than Snake. Even then it only survives one shot from her.

I got this task in the normal non Extreme version via drops easily, but in the Extreme version I keep getting killed or having her dash before it gets there.

She's quicker and more aware in Extreme. Quicker, more aware, but mostly, more lethal. I only have this and the Keep Quiet from taking damage in Mission 45 left for all missions.

Got it on my first try by dropping supply crates. Needed to drop it 4 times. Sure she moves around but you will eventually get to it.
You can use anything to bring her hp/stamina down, then dash-punch her. IF you keep the pressure on her (chasing her), she will sometimes stop and turn around to shoot you, if you are close, you can strafe/circle and punch.

I'm pretty sure if you shoot the structures weak points to make it crumble over her, it will also count towards the task.

It's not that hard, get behind cover, call in the supply drop, pop your head out when the box is 100m away from hitting her and then inmediately go back into cover, that'll get her to shoot and get stucked in ther animation as the box drops on her. Just do this about 3 or 4 times and you're done.

Again, stealth camo and just donkeypunch her at your leisure. That Stealth camo makes a lot of annoying side objectives much more doable.

That task is a little bit glitched you can do it with stun and sleeping grenades, its just the game doesn't register sometimes. For me it counted only on fourth try with stun/sleep grenade combo.

If you're getting hit you're peeking way too long.

The ideal way is to call in supply drops. Make sure you have your helicopter as basic as possible, absolutely no upgrades as your cost for calling in a supply drop also factos in your helicopter cost.

The next thing you want to do is know which spots are hittable. Some areas she jumps to are impossible to hit her with a supply drop.

If you want her to stay in a certain spot, peek your head out for a second. I mean just tap rightclick and thats it. Do this every now and then and she wont change positions. When you call in the care package, at 10m or less to impact, peek! She will notice the package and jump away on extreme otherwise. The other thing to remember is to know her cooldowns. If you peek too close to 10m but not close enough for her to get hit, she will recover and hop away. On the other hand her cooldown may still be in effect and you may not get her to shoot at you at 10m and she jumps away. So the timing is crucial.

give her the back of your hand

If you have it, using Fakel (Sleep) is probably the easiest way without having to get close. (It doesn't count as a firearm)

find her and kick her, or throw stun grenade, or sleep grenade...

i am going for this side task and having no luck. i just completed the mission two times, the first time using Stun Arm the second using Rocket Punch. neither of them gave me credit for a non-firearm takedown!

she runs when you call a supply drop on her,

one of the methods i've read was placing a sleeping gas mine on her sniper spots.

You didn't read my post did you. If you force her to fire by peeking when the supply drop is at 10m she won't run in time.
