How do you beat mission 42?

[Qwertion]

Non-extreme was hard enough, but this one is beyond me.

[Bordo]

If only we could Pequod...

Almost everyone agrees though. Dwalker gatgun sidestrafe.

You can use tanks and rocket launchers to kill the skulls. Try to keep moving so the red mist won't destroy your tank.

[Linnéa]

Anti-material rifle. and Quite with the same thing. it destroyes them.

[Qwertion]

They jump onto the tank and destroy it after do it twice. What's anti-material rifle? It's like quiet's brennan? high-penetration guns? Besides note says I shouldn't use quiet in there as it will break my game and kill my saves.

select Quite as a buddy and use a tank (any tank that has mini guns ,not rocket) , you can also use 4wheel vehicle and just run around and let Quite do all the work !

D walker withmini gun, you can beat it within a few min.

[Xarathox]

Or just stand on top of the tower and call in air strikes.

[karl-emil]

Brennan and stand on the roof, easy S rank.

Amazing. That advice right there is why you're the best, boss.

[Anmer]

Anti-material sniper rifle to remove their armor easily, you can also try blocking with cqc and use a Heavy Machinegun when they are stunned.

I spent 600k for dwalker equipment and killed them all with gun, easy ahah... use it...

[Greb]

Smoke grenades, clever use of tree canopies, and running backwards so you only have to fight one at once. A tank provides excellent mobile cover, too, allowing you to create cover in otherwise barren areas.

I beat it by dying several times until I figured out you can hit them as they get back up from a 50.cal to the face before they relocate, allowing you to kill them in one relocation rather than having to follow them all over the place. It is possible to run or sneak by them, but they'll just come back later on and turn all the guards into zombies as you try to move Code Talker out of there.


You know I just realised you meant Metallic Archaea. GAH. Apologies :x

I stood in the Precious Metal hangar and used D-WALKER until he died and then switched to the SERVAL AMR 7 to finish them one by one. Died a few times to stupid rocks spawning under you and exploding instantly, but got it done eventually. Trick is to focus and not miss shots. Flare Supply very good for restocking accurately, too. Just focus on one and whittle them down, don't let others get flank shots on you but make sure you don't let a Skull put armour on a second time. Noctocyanin helps a lot, as does Acceleramin.

It's also possible to just climb up on one of those warehouses and the Skulls will just not be able to comprehend it and let you pretty much blow their brains out with impunity.

Also Quiet. I never used her, but my friend did and she solo'd the mission for him. To each their own.
