Pitch Dark "Exfiltrated the hot zone before Mfinda Oilfield is Sealed Off"... how?

[Dast'ro]

I'm doing this as quick as possible (was trying to evac with heli after explosion at the oilfield but damn cutscene make heli vanish...), so i was going to far spot to detonate c4 and run like hell on D-horse/D-walker and still nothing... any solutions?

[Vassago]

It should work. Have you shut down the oil transfer pump?

I finished this mission by shutting down the pump first, got my way out of the hot zone, blew a rocket on the tank and ran away.

[Dast'ro]

Ok i did it... needed to clear whole base from enemy and set decoys on "sealing squad" route before that... so cheap. :P Anyway i was able to do all optionals to this point, if anybody need help, just ask.

What is this sealing route? I've seemingly done everything now including putting up decoys along the road where the first 2 walker gears spawn. I see the guards walking around inspecting the decoys etc. I run off on D-horse exfiltrate and nothing.
this is like my 7th try

There is an extremely simple way to do this I recently discovered. Near the North Entrance to the Mfinda Oilfield are two material containers. Set some C4 on the oil tank, detonate your C4 near the containers, and then fulton/ride one out

I snuck over to the tank, planted C4, then went and shut off the other thing. Then while inside of there (though I could have went tot eh exit to make things easier) I blew up the tank.

Then I simply, but quickly, snuck out through the back. It was an easy mission tbh. Wasn't caught once.

im not questioning how to get out fast, if you read my comment, the problem is that i'm not getting a clear even though ive done exactly what you just mentioned as well.

[A fist full of kappa]

Okay i got a clear on the objective as well now. The problem was i did the same thing ive already attempted 3 times and didnt get clear for.
Clean up base and fulton everyone out till base it captured. Then go shut off pump. Plant C4. Got to both entrances and move a bit out about 50 meters should do. And started planting decoys everywhere. I planted a 6 at each entrance for a total of 12 decoys. Went back to exit of base. sat on D-horse ready to run postion facing exit. detonated C4 - skipped cutscene and just started running to the other end of the area until i left the hot zone, got the clear.

I tried 6 hours today to do this, but it failed hard. Tomorrow i´ll try to lay some mines across the road and etract via chopper *4 from the point inside the facility.

EDIT 40 minutes later: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ , i did it! Same way as Dastro and Fair Warning.

I just finished this task after a lot of the same trouble as mentioned above. I tried the above and didn't work so after I blew up the tank near the N/E exit I left down the path, used my rocket launcher to blow up the first two metal walkers I encountered, gunned down the guys in the hills and then blew up the near by check point with my rocket launcher for kicks and then walked out of the hot zone and got it, go figure.

I think it was because I destroyed the metal walkers before they got to the oilfield it didn't count as sealed and thus I was able to get the objective. Hopefully that helps someone, when in doubt go loud.

I had no idea this could be done. Thanks!

note that this wont work if you are using wormhole

[Dast'ro]

You can wormhole out of the mission on the container as well, like with fulton, you need to grab to the wormhole heh.

This is so stupidly scripted. The game forces you to do it the way it wants. The fist logic that comes to your mind is to clear whole base from soldiers, shut down the oil transfer pump, plant the C4, call helicopter, get in to the helicopter, then detonate C4. No way anyone would come to seal the base before you're gone. But nope, the stupid cut scene must erase the heli you called and place you on the spot the game/devs wants. Stupid as hell.

[joxertm22]

As said in other threads.
Press the button, plant C4, return to containers, detonate C4, the game teleports you again near those containers, climb up one then ride it (hold E twice in a row).

Sadly it's one of those missions where you can't finish all objectives in one run.
You can prevent 2 D walkers from coming by fultoning/killing everyone in outposts/village outside the Oilfield before the detonation, but you can't prevent all 4.
