(Extreme) Backup, back down - Mission Task - Extracted 3 tanks

[TheQuestion]

I can't seem to get the last reinforcements(three tanks and one chopper) that spawns when you are leaving the hotzone, basically at the end of the mission.. can't do the last mission task. I've never have that happen in the ordinary back up back down mission which I've done all the mission tasks for..

I'm thinking that there might be some kind of trigger, like taking down all vehicles in a certain amount of time or something else for them to spawn that I youst always did without knowing.

So for anyone who has done it on the extreme version, did you do anything particular?

You need to eliminate ALL the original targets to make those other spawn

basically they spawn to get revenge on you for being a pain in the behind

Not sure if necessary, but I always get the jeep with the prisoner and the truck with the rocket launcher too

[TommyEV]

The jeep and the truck are not compulsory. Once you destroy the other 5 vehicles, a helicopter and 3 big tanks will spawn.

[TheQuestion]

Yeah I did it again with like 8 minutes left and bom, reinforcements, thanks.

[DeColon]

I'm not playing on PC but I also have this problem.

The reinforcements doesn't appear for me too even though I destroyed all 7 armored vehicles, I need to capture those 3 tanks.
I've done the normal one with no problems.

EDIT: I think it has something to do with fultoning most of the vehicles to activate the armored vehicle reinforcements.

[TommyEV]

It MUST be a bug because the mission is just like the normal one. Sorry to hear that

[DeColon]

Nvm, it's not a bug.

"Tried it again", captured most of the vehicles (6/7 captured, 1/7 destroyed) and its passengers/drivers then the reinforcement came.

I'm not sure why destroying the 6 armored vehicles wouldn't activate the reinforcements.

[TommyEV]

But you meant you also destroyed the jeep with the prisoner?

That was what I did when I destroyed all 7 vehicles, I destroyed the truck and the jeep w/ a prisoner.

What I did yesterday was to extract 6 of the armored vehicles, the truck, and the jeep w/ 2 guards and a prisoner, I only destroyed 1 armor vehicle which is the wave where both of them are really close to each other.
This is what I did to make the reinforcements appear.

You should read my last reply, I indicated that "I tried it again" which means I got it working on my latest try.

Yeah, the prisoner was screwing you over.

Well, i choose the upper spawn and run (with D-Horse) to the base from behind and extract the first target (Inside), killing all soldier and waiting/hiding in the road for other target and surprising them at close range (you can use those seconds in Fulton) for the last two target, you need a rocket (1 shoot = immobilize for run) now you need to use the AAW or rocket for choper and extract the 3 tank (to sell after all vehicles) you can run with d-horse next to the tank and wait for reflex mode and again using those second in fulton , with this, a wild "S" appear...

[SaltyOneOne]

You can buddy with D-horse, equip 4 mines that disable vehicles, and a rocket launcher.

Drop off at the northern spot and camp on the road behind the base. Move D-horse to the middle of the road and then wait, when the armor vehicles stop to chase off D-horse, go behind them and fulton.

Drop a couple of mines in case D-Horse failed, during the prisoner car, have D-horse poop on the road then wait, they will spin out and everyone in the car will be stun, fulton.

This tactic is slow but should give you a perfect stealth score right up to the bonus objective of the 3 tanks and 1 chopper. Since you're not timed, you'll have to take your time and go to each of the tanks and fulton or destroyed them. I recommed fulton, just follow and run behind them with D-horse until they stop then fulton.

Take out chopper with rocket launcher and that's the end of the mission. If everything goes right, you don't even need a resupply. 4 mines, rocket launcher, a horse and some poop is all you need.

If people still care.

I did extract every single armored vehicle but only 2 tanks appeared.
I did eliminate every single armored vehicle but this time 2 tanks appeared.

Note when I had 3 tanks appear, only one around then the other 2 came after a period of time. If you first see 2 tanks without 1 appearing first it is I think safe to say you won't be able to extract more than 2 tanks thus making it impossible to complete the challenge task.

I don't think it was because I eliminated the armored vehicles. I think it was because the time I was able to eliminate them. First time I pretty much cleared everything before the tanks with 10 minutes to spare. The next time (I died by fall damage and didn't finish the mission so I had to do it all over again) I did it again but with very little time remaining. I don't know the time exactely but it was around more than 5 minutes less than 10. That had me thinking the only real thing that stopped me before was the time going under 5 minutes which had the timer go red (earlier playthroughs before I had them appear and died by fall damage). I think this is the reason.

Note I didn't have to extract any prisoner to get the 3 tanks to spawn in so I think it is safe to say you can extract the 6 prisoners and do the challenge task on a new playthrough without worrying about extracting the prisoners as well.

This is speculation and I think it will stay that way because I am too annoyed about the mission to see if my theory is correct. All I can say is whatever was stated here didn't work but when I completed everything before the timer went red 3 tanks appeared twice. I think the time goes red the moment there is less than 5 minutes remaining. If not then I guess you have more time to do this mission.

The best weapon to eliminate the armored vehicles is the CFM 25 6 star. It is good to have a grenade launcher if you miss and/or run out. To extract the tanks you can use a decoy by placing it in the way of a tank run towards the tanks from either the left,right or backside of the tank and fulton or wormhole it out. There is another way but it is difficult to get it right and this mission is already annoying in the first place given the checkpoint starts you at the start of the mission so it is best to just use a decoy.

Hope this helped anyone.

thank you. facts. you need to destroy the 7 armored vehicles with more than 5 minutes remaining to spawn the 3 tanks. 5 or less minutes remaining will result in only TWO tanks
