while on mother base call in a helicopter to pick you up. while ur sitting in the copter before it takes off hit square to pick another strut for the helicopter to take u to. in the top eight of that screen it should say 'press triangle to go to animal conservation platform'

So how often are people completely stealthing?

I've done it for a lot of the side ops but I suck at doing it for the main missions. I'm assuming I suck because I don't game as much as the good lord would want but idk. I kind of just want to stop trying to stealth everything so I can focus on dope poo poo like helicopter friend blowing enemies up.

I finish a lot of missions with the enemy in search because he found a body or something but never saw me.

I also finish a lot of missions by sneaking all the way in and getting the objective then messing up at the last second and having to run like hell with a pow on my back, thats fun too.

I've ghosted a few of the missions but in some it gets hard like the ones where you need to blow up multiple vehicles and poo poo. It's also hard in some to not interrogate at least one guard to help you find the objective in the missions where you don't know where that is. It's fun to try and ghost the first time through a mission but also really tough so I say just go ham and enjoy yourself then go back and stealth them when you've got more cool upgrades.

Why the gently caress does everyone in my army speak Kikongo after I arrived in Africa? Did they all decide to take an obscure foreign language together? Like, is this gonna be explained in the story or is it just the game glitching up.

Those Heavy Infanty units may be to withstand two full slips from my rifle, but they fall like wheat to the reaper when I send DDog to slit their throats.

Later on you can develop an anti-materiel sniper rifle that wrecks their poo poo, but it's drat near the end of the game before you get it. Those guys are the bane of my existence in really wide open, daytime areas when I am tying to be stealthy. Especially when they get those shotguns that just knock me on my rear end when I'm trying to close in for a CQC takedown.

Non-lethal sniper rifle + suppressor = headshot extravaganza. I did the first tedious escort mission and it took me 52 minutes, but the 33 headshots at 1000 points apiece ensured I got an S rank. My third, I think. I wish I had picked up a translator so I could understand my wards' exclamations.

Quiet with the suppressed sniper is so loving sick. I drove through an outpost while a sandstorm was rolling through and she solo secured it just by covering me. Crazy

For me this game is like a much better Dishonored in that it's really fun to infiltrate and try to sneak through a mission but sometimes it all goes to poo poo and you just have to go guns blazing. That's why I really like the prisoner rescue missions where you can't Fulton them out I usually sneak in undetected and then either as I grab the prisoner or immediately after I get detected and have to call in fire support and just get the gently caress out
