How do you take out the skull soldiers non lethally?
The zombie guys, is there a way to take them down non lethally? They have a blue stamina bar but I don't know the best way to fight them without just using rockets

Use some kind of stun gun and aim for the head.
Focus on one and dont let him recover his stamina.
Be ready to call a lot of supply drop, even better use the flare for that and dont be greedy,better loose some GMP than die for lack of ammo.
When the fog intensified they will go melee, counter the attack(just use CQC when the icon pop up) and unload the magazine in his head during the animation.
They shoot in burst, so hide, wait, exit from cover and shoot, hide.
You can't fulton them in the "Honey Bee" mission, can't say for the other.

I almost forgot: "Be carefull down there Boss".

I found that the sleeping gas bombardment is useful, just make sure to compensate for their movement since they walk in your direction no matter what

Why would you want to do it non-lethally? There's no benefit?

In past games you did get some bonus, kinda sad it seems useless in this one.

That as so far you can jut run past them.

As far as I know, no mission requires you to eliminate the skulls completely.
Do they even count as a kill? I don't think they do, but I may be wrong.

Because you get a suit of armor that gives you there abiolities BUT you have to fulton them to get the items that power the suit.

In the story missions they kill themselves i think, i only ever knocked out the sniper skulls and all i heard was a gun shot before i could get to them, and then the marker that was on them goes away as if they died. Im not sure if you can actually find skulls outside of main missions though.

After mission 50 you unlock the ability to make the skull suit. i assume its because you take skull faces body or because you get the parasite.

Even if you "stun" them, at the end of the fight they will disappear.
I made a promise to my self: fulton everything... promise broken.

If you knock them out they go lay down in a nice line and then get up and jump away after a short amount of time. Same with the others.

No no no, I will just tell you.

*MID-GAME SPOILER*
*SPOILER*

It is the one in Africa, where you have to fulton the cargo truck. Now, if I just tried it would be super easy but I waited on the road for about 20 mins real time and the truck never came, then I got a cutscene of the truck leaving the area and I failed. This made me angry and I tried it again.
Quiet, because I forgot she doesn't have a silenced gun yet, fired at my command and got me seen. The truck then went straight to the escape place and I died chasing it.

Now I was furious, I can only be patient on my first playthrough because I had done every level up until then without getting an alert first try (I'm quite good at stealth games). This tiem I went for an arial assault, I got shot down. By then I was DONE so I quit, I will re-do tomorrow, right now, I cannot be asked.
