Mission 22: Retake The Platform

Missino 22

- This mission automatically starts when you arrive to do main Mission 21. Select it from your iDroid - priorities and such. There is no official ranking for this mission, and you cannot order any supply drops either. Worse, you have no buddy available for this mission, so you really are on your own. Pack your tranquilizer gun, a regular machine gun (with suppressor) and perhaps a tranquilizer sniper rifle. If you have developed sleeping gas grenades, those may come in handy too.

- Th[Subsistence] mission's goal itself is straightforward; move from platform to platform and climb the last one to the top. There, neutralize Mosquito, the enemy leader, to automatically finish the mission. That's easier said than done, of course. A few tips:

- Yo[Subsistence]'ll want to take it slow and easy for this mission. There are no checkpoints whatsoever, so if you die, it's back to the drawing table (and back to the start of the mission). There's no mission ranking, so speed isn't important. Stealth IS important, however, and makes it much easier to advance.

- Since you lack buddy support, you'll want to interrogate some soldiers at the beginning of the mission and when you enter a new platform. This can help you immensely as they locate other enemy positions.

- Fulto[Subsistence] extract most enemy soldiers after taking them out. This removes them from the battlefield entirely (as usual), preventing other soldiers from waking them up. Save at least one Fulton device for the enemy captain's extraction.

- On the first platform, rescue the several prisoners in the middle of the platform after taking care of most enemy forces.

- When crossing bridges between platforms, always take the lower route via the stairs for a Stealth approach. If your suppressor runs out, switch to sleeping gas grenades or your regular machine gun (with suppressor).

- At the final platform, take the grey stairs up and neutralize the enemy commander at the top platform.
