How do I beat mission 29?

[Vallorfax]

Includes spoilers. After the mission where you pick up Code Talker, and he tells you about the language parasites, after you take him to the chopper and then the skulls shoot you down, how are you supposed to kill them? Theres too many of them and I can't find cover.

The hangar towards the side is perfect for cover. Just watch out for the rocks they throw. You can break the rocks with a rocket launcher before they throw them.

[Vallorfax]

When the helicopter crashes, should I go left or right? I'm using the gromm 11 grade 3 and the un-arc hb modified.

equip an anti-material rifle, start the mission with a tank, equip Quiet with the anti-material rifle

You need a weapon with high penetration and impact, especially if it's rapid.

They have a sort of 'shield' that they regenerate once it depletes, then you can do true damage to them.

Since they are all boss units, they can't be affected by certain things that affects normal units.

Rockets... I also had Quiet hitting them with lethals to distract them. Shotguns might work too but you'd have to get too close. I did it with rockets and an assault rifle with the most damage.

Also you can run over to the terminal to avoid the zombie like soldiers, leaving you to face just the big guys

Right. There's a ladder to get on top the warehouse. Up there only 1 attack of theirs can hit you, and they make easy targets for you and Quiet if you position her to overlook it.

[Xarathox]

You have to stay on the move and having Quiet with you also helps a lot. I have also noticed that they tend to get "trapped" inside buildings, specifically the main tower.

Heavy battle armor, heavy machine gun, rocket launcher, grenades, and supply drops for more ammo

So if I dont consistently damage them, their shield will regen?

Pretty sure it's to the right. This fight is easier if you get closer to them actually. If you're too far you can't stop them from throwing rocks and they won't try to melee you (which you can counter by spamming CQC, left mouse if you're not on controller).

Don't forget that you can use space (on keyboard) to jump. If you can't stop them from firing rocks then jump out of the way and fight one skull at a time. Kite them. Wear combat armor.

Open the map and use the W/S keys (Up and down on d-pad I imagine for controllers) to switch from placing markers to calling a supply drop, it's faster than going through the missions menu.

The grom 11 is fine I think. I used the other one just below that in the research menu but it's pretty much the same.

[Chewiechanga]

Don't forget the anti material rifle if you researched it. That thing packs quite a punch.

[(Not) Very Nice]

Run away, pick up an rpg + c4... play cat and mouse. Super easy.

[Vallorfax]

Thanks for all the support guys!

[Shinn]

Bait them into CQC counters as much as possible, you can empty an entire clip into them while they are stunned from the counter.

The way I killed them was with a MG+ generade launcher and parrying the Skulls. Only took 5 minutes at most, but died after getting hit by one of the rock moves.
