- I[Subsistence] order to start mission 11, either approach Aabe Shifab Ruins during freeroaming, or mandatorily when you choose to do Side Ops 82 (Make Contact With Emmerich). Mission 11 is essentially a traditional boss battle against Quiet, the deadly and stealthy female sniper, (put in an outfit by Kojima and co. that can only be described as sexist - we don't see Snake in speedo as regular outfit with 'penis-bouncing gameplay dynamics' - most likely pulled off to boost sales, but that aside. And no, the in-game bogus story that is told later on as 'reason' for her outfit is a very poor cover up for this sexism (a simple tank top and shorts would suffice) - there's even a 'special scene' if you stare at her breasts later on in the game).
- The first thing you should do is mark Quiet by pulling out your Int-Scope and locate her (look from where the gunfire is coming from).
- Although thi[Subsistence] guide will in a future update return to more strategic options, for now simply resort to a trick that makes the battle considerably easier. Once you've marked Quiet's location, open your iDroid while in a cover position and order a supply drop at he exact position. Simply wait until the package drops on her head and drains half of her stamina bar. She'll move to another position, so walk around a bit and locate her again, then perform the same trick to end the battle. Move to the mission marker to trigger a scene.
- Do NOT choose to kill Quiet, she can become a buddy later on.
