Mission 6: Where Do The Bees Sleep?

- From the Landing Zone (LZ), head south; the north is blocked off by your mission radius.

- Avoid the first enemy outpost by moving past it to the right. Continue down the long road until you reach the Mountain Relay Base, which you'll notice is located in a vast ravine and essentially consists of a large bridge with snipers, plus various guards at several camps.

- Firs[Subsistence] scan the area and spot several guards with a prisoner at the far end of the bridge. It's possible to rescue and extract him right away, but it's more likely that you're too slow, requiring an (optional) extraction later on.

- There are various ways to approach the base, but by far the easiest is to crouch-walk to the northwest, then crawl to get behind the two guards stationed here, taking them out, and then walk to the far north over the rocky terrain to bypass the main road entirely. Around halfway you'll want to be sure to climb some rocks instead of sliding down, because the latter is irreversible and only gets you back to the main bridge.

- Continue to Da Smasei Laman, which can be approached by a south or a north entrance. Take the latter; it allows for a better recon vantage point and shortens your sneaking route.

- After reconning th[Subsistence] base, particularly note the anti-air radar. Destroying it unlocks a landing zone, but there's no need for you to attempt this right now; it's quite difficult to reach.

- Instead, curve around the base via the northwest side, crawling the last 40 meters as you get closer to the prisoner. Take out any enemies along the way when required, and place them in the nearby dumpsters or portable toilets. Extract the prisoner when you reach him.

- The Smasei Laman tunnels have two main entrances, one on the east (largest) and one on the west. Various Rough Diamonds can be found inside the tunnels. Take the one on the west/left to reach the first floor. From here head east, then follow the tunnel to reach the Honey Bee, which is also marked if you extracted the prisoner. In any case you will reach a small creek. Head left and continue to the small rooms at the far back; the Honey Bee is located in the one at the end.

- Head back outsid[Subsistence] to trigger several scenes. Afterwards it's boss time.

THE SKULLS:

- Ther[Subsistence] are various ways you can deal with the Skulls. In fact, if you're attempting an S-Rank, fleeing is a wise option.

- If you choose to fight, first mark all four Skulls. In case you were wondering, yes, using the Honey Bee will easily allow you to defeat the Skulls, but unfortunately it reduces your mission ranking as you're supposed to retrieve the Honey Bee without using any ammunition.

- Retreating to th[Subsistence] first floor of the tunnels allows you to use Grenades more effectively, especially if you manage to lure the Skulls into the tunnel. On the ground level they won't follow you, but you can still shoot them, albeit this is a slow process.

- If you're daring, counterattack The Skulls' dash attack (a prompt will appear on-screen) and empty your regular gun at the Skull that attempted the attack, who will be temporarily dazed (and dead afterwards - unless they're (un)dead to begin with).

- Exfiltrate out of the hot zone after the fight.

- [Subsistence]-Rank Tips: Speed is of the essence. Rush over to the Mountain Relay Base, preferably extract the prisoner there. At Da Smasei Laman, don't use the Honey Bee and preferably destroy the anti-air radar, then defeat the Skulls by exploiting the counterattack move; immediately order the chopper and exfiltrate with it. Not using the Honey Bee, defeating the Skulls, and exfiltrating immediately by chopper will give you huge bonuses that will almost guaranteed grant an S-rank.
