METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Any tips for "extreme" code talker?
The eliminate the skulls task? Extreme cloaked in silence was bad enough with the one-shot sniper kills. Now there's 4 of them.

Throw a smoke, equip NVG and shoot with AMR. Even better if you bring D-Walker as it won't be attacked, will mark everyone and help you rush to the cliff at the start.

Take a light APC (armored personnel carrier) and drive through the valley to the jungle. If you cant make it, take a tougher armored vehicle. The problem here is the terrain and getting your vehicle stuck. So the route you take is vital and usually means trial and error.

Edit: oh, you want to kill them. Take your time and patiently take them down one by one.

Extreme Cloaked in Silence was frustrating, but beatable with just 2 sleep grenades. I would suggest the same.
D-dog or scouting D-walker, sleep grenades and launchers. Sonar and night vision to know where to hide. And good luck.

As GrayHound put it, pop a smoke gernade and use the NVG to snipe them through smoke. Use the brennan LRS-46 sniper as level 5 will 3 shot them.

If you dont care to S rank it you can always use Stealth camo and make it a joke.

You can run down the river and avoid the sniper skulls completely if you wish.....easy S rank ;)

i forget if this is blocked but if you can make it rain they will literally stand still for a minute

I just drove up to them in a heavy tank and then u just have to rotate the tank gun and shoot.
took me 3-5 minutes and the tank didnt get destroyed.
just drive up there so the skulls are only a few meters away, they will change their position but there are only 4-5 spots.

those 4 sniper chicks don't use antimat rifles so heavy armored vehicles arn't in danger

I didn't even bother, I just rushed to the waterfall and climbed up.

Thanks, but you're all missing the point of the thread, which was tips on how to take them down not avoid them.

If you have a hard time beating them in a "fair" duel, keep in mind that you can always summon a tank to your aid (if you have one, of course). Summon one, hop in and blow them up in no time. They can destroy it, but a) the tank can take many more hits than you can, and b) you can summon another one if necessary.

What also works, but takes alot more time, is to "hit&run". Use your binoculars (or DD) to mark them, hit one of them with a Brennan shot, then immediately run to a spot to your left or right. Once they focus on your last position (watch their lasers to confirm), you can take another shot. Rince and repeat. This is still fairly risky, but with enough patience, you can take them all down one by one eventually.

Edit: I should point out that in order to fulfill the Eliminate the Skulls task, it´s sufficient to kill one of them. Same goes for extracting the Skulls. You don´t need to kill all of them necessarily.

Only 1? Thats a time saver. Thanks, man!

Nothing to add here.

Has anyone used the forest camoflauge? Does that work against them? Because they see you instantly in the sneak suit.

Get your D-Walker with a gatling gun, try to do as much damage as you can with that one first
Then finish them with the Brennan sniper rifle
You should be able to get on the roof of that building that's to your right at the start of the fight (there's a ladder), the only way they can attack you up there is their teleport melee attack which you can counter
