Mission 45, Quiet keeps destroying the 7/7 equipment before I can get to it.

[[W] Wolfgang]

I'm trying to clean up the few mission checks that I am still missing. While there are a LOT of complaints about this mission, I loved it. It's one of the few "just blow sh!t up" missions in the game.

Trying to extract the 7/7 goal, however, was quite difficult (for me, at least). I got the mechanics down pretty well, either full up battle dress and sandstorm, or parasite armor, but Quiet keeps destroying them as I run around like crazy, esp the BTR types. I've gotten pretty good at running and extracting, but it keeps happening that I run up to one just in time to see it start to brew up, and I can no longer extract it. I tried equipping Quiet on another mission and giving her a normal lethal rifle, but she's just back with the .50 and killing my prizes. :) Even during a sandstorm, she's still tearing them up. I'm trying to kill them as soon as they arrive, but still no good.

I can't change her weapon, or dismiss her (obviously).

I've watched videos, and other than a comment here and there, nobody else seems to have this problem.

Help?

Ask her to stop providing cover fire.

[[W] Wolfgang]

That simple? In every other mission she starts again as soon as I get shot at. Which is this entire mission. I did see some videos using the take aim command. Well, I'm about to try it again. Will try.

[[W] Wolfgang]

Yup, that simple. I was actually trying to go too fast. Just slow down, take cover for a moment at a time, and have her target the infantry one by one. Esp. the snipers that keep knocking me down. After that, it was just the right combo of challenge and fun.

I do wish that I could just tell her to "Target Infantry". (Spray paint noise.)

Thanks!

Glad you got it, you're welcome!

im going to take this optional objective on soon so im glad u posted this, i need some tips going in!

[No_Quarter]

parasite suit, armor parasites, run for tanks and you're done. I did it on second try, Quiet managed to destroy one tank while I was on the other side

I've just told her to stand down, she didn't shoot at anyone and I could extract them RELATIVELY safely. :|

(Already done, but for conversation) I tried Raiden and stealth camo. No dice (for me). Armor on that thing SUX and during combat alert (the status I guess they are in) stealth camo seems to instantly be inop. Fast, yeah, but I always got slaughtered in like 2-3 vehicles and with no bandana on I'm limping around to try and first-aid myself. They could see me the entire time.

Parasite armor = no damage (except when I forget to re-juice).
Battle Dress can have bandana = no injuries (but the occasional 125mm HEAT to the face)

This game is crazy slow to 100%. I play for like 10 hours and saw it go from 96% to 97%... (I guess that's good though.)

Also I love how .50 cal takes down the (sort-of) T-72. The BTR armored cars, sure... eventually. On a T-72 it could do minor operational damage, that's about it. But, it's not a T-72. And there are no wormhole fultons. I sure wish we got Battle Gear at 100% instead of the dude in Bond style paint / GoldMember. Ugh. The highest level reward is the dumbest, trans-sexual-ist, thing in the game. Just make Battle Gear a level 7/8 style vehicle that's super expensive to deploy. Oh well. Still fun to play!

I've got 100% after 197 hours going in a leisure pace for the first 120 and then doing all the missions on S, objectives, catching the pokemons and whatnot.

97% with 500+ hours. I like the events, but they are getting a bit old now that they are recycling and seem to be always FOB. (Events in theatre, please!) I have all animals, normal S-ranks, side-ops, and 90+% mission completion. Haven't been trying for it, (because I don't care at all for the super gay gold outfit) but now that I'm so close...

Also, my CIA agent mission is bugged. (Another of my threads) so I can't 100% most likely, unless something resets. The assassin never shows up. I can do the exact same thing as my wife, sitting side by side, and he never shows on mine.
