meh i just drove d walker in the sandstorm and made it to the end in under 5 with no traces why y take long way?

I doubt that. They aren't that blind in a sand storm plus you wouldn't be able to avoid the walkers

And the video as promised. Obviously spoilers.

The one thing I think that makes this mission tricky compared to other missions as far as an S-rank goes is that playing it like the others where you can just tranquilize/neutralize enemies left and right to get through seems to work against you if you're aiming high. When you actually completely disregard enemies and opt to sneak through without interacting in any way with the enemy, it's pretty much the express route to a good score, and it actually isn't too hard this way, you just have to be cautious while inching forward.

Sort of reminds me of the jail escape in MGS3.

What!? Seriously? C'mon guys, this mission is easy. No need to have pro skills neither crawl or play hide and sneak. You can complete the mission under 3 minutes with S-Rank in a broad daylight. Here's my gameplay and walkthrough (no spoilers: skipped the cutscenes):

Doing the side objectives of the mission is also easy: we are not aiming for S-rank completion so you can go with your guns blazing and shoot down everything that moves. For walker gears objective where you need to fulton them: stun or tranq the drivers.

But if you want to achieve "no trace completion" the mission becomes whole different. But is it really worth of your time? You can farm GMP and Heroism from other missions more efficiently.

Hope this speedrun method helps! =^.^=

If you skip the "cutscene" once you get to the helipad, it will save a lot of the time bonus.

lol well yeah walker gear is easy

the no trace run tho, that is pretty impressive. thanks for posting OP!

[Hazy_Maze_Cave]

Well, when you've 100% the game, you gotta find something other than FPB's to kill time. Why not try to beat missions the hard way? Think of it as like european extreme difficulty for this game.

Done it couple three times. You can crawl the mission in under 9 minutes. And it's easy when you follow the specific route: advance on the right side of the map. It's nothing but crawling so take a soldier that has a "Climber" skill - he/she crawls faster. You can workaround the slow start with D-Horse.

There is another route on the left side of the map where you can climb over the cracks you can find while watching the iDroid map. On that route you encounter more enemies so advancing can be challenging. Done that too :)

Edit: and yes, I've been killed many times in there XD

All you have to do is to toss a smoke grenade into a car and you can just drive straigh through there.It's actually pretty funny.

@ OP, Well I dont think so, it would have been quite visible during the car monologue scene. Maybe his lust for revenge wasnt that strong after all...

[Carnaga]

@ OP, anyways, this is fun game cause you can complete the same mission in different ways :) I believe your run was EPIC and I'm sure you enjoyed the run and a-lot!

For those whimps, get a jeep dropped in, toss a smoke grenade in, and ride off into the sunset. Garunteed S-rank, even if you do wind up getting too close to someone, it's usually only near the end, unless you suck.
