It took me a while to figure this out, but BY FAR the best weapon to use on the skulls is a SNIPER RIFLE. and the worst part is I still got an A rank after fumbling through the encounter and dying 10 times. I tried literally everything I could except the most fucking boring option which is jumping in a tank and driving in a straight line for 1 minute. If you don't manage to fulton the truck without getting spotted just restart. I didn't have a rocket launcher so I had to call that in loads of times but I guess they have a shitload of defence now so I needed over 4 rockets per guy, I tried a grenade launcher which doesn't do shit, you can't throw grenades because you get spotted instantly, tranqs don't do shit, the helicopter can't shoot at them, the sleeping gas airdrop takes of like 3/4 of their stamina and that's it, they regain health, I kept getting stunlocked by their aimbot rock throw, and you can't even steal the truck or it gets destroyed. Then I died constantly just trying different combinations of weapons and strategies. It started out fine, I found the route and ended up getting in front of the convoy when it stopped at an outpost just after the airport. I thought this mission was fucking awful. ![]() ![]() I even tried hijacking the tank but good lord are the vehicle controls complicated.worse than Battlefield and reminiscent of trying to go back and control Snake in MGS1.Īnyway, just looking for strategies since I've progressed through the game up to this point without too much difficulty, even S ranking several missions. I was able to take off chunks of life with RPGs/rockets, but would inevitably have a missile go astray and hit the extraction target (cargo truck) by mistake, or I would eventually succumb to their assault rifle barrage. Quiet's sniping does negligible damage to them, as do grenade launchers. I didn't have a tracking missile launcher like the first encounter, but I tried several load outs, buddy combinations etc with no success. I guess my question is- Since I'm assuming I'm going to face off against them again, how are you guys handling the Skulls in general? The hat makes it trivial and I cleared it on one go. With my time being limited, it was getting pretty late at night, yadda yadda yadda.I opted for the Chicken Hat after several failed attempts. However, I struggled completely with that ep 16 fight. I understand that in both instances, defeating the Skulls is technically optional, but during the first encounter (ep 6) it was relatively easy using the Honey Bee (and you can still get the Honey Bee ammo mission objective as long as you have just 1 rocket left), so I was set on taking them down. I finished ep 16 last night which contains the second fight with the Skulls.
