Are you playeing the vanilla game or are you using any mod? If vanilla you should have the silenced SR-25 and a ghillie suit, both very useful in this mission.

I usually split my team in two(I usually only have 2 or 3 mercs in my team), one doas the flanking manouver you discribed and the other team stays by the exit point. When you have 2 teams you can distract enemies and make the run in circles, just use loud weapons and supression fire from the exit point team, while the flanking team uses silenced weapons to kill most of the baddies.

I often use a scout to sneak into camp, crawling along the left side of the map until I breach the perimiter. Then you can attack them from behindk while your other mercs pick them off from a distance causing them to run back and forth.

Oh, and I always play this misison at night, otherwise they'll spot you too easy and your stealth/silence tactics aren't very effective.

I'm playing with your BSM. I've got one guy in ghillie + silenced m14 (seems to have better accuracy and speed than the SR25), 3 with silenced ARs (a G36, FAMAS, and HK416), 1 unsilenced AR (AN-94) and one unsilenced m21 (I guess not quite a DMR like I said, but close enough).
In the morning I'll try m21 + AN94 by the exit and maybe 2 ARs at one end of the map and an AR + m14 at another. (edit: morning my time, obviously you're right and silenced guns/sneaking will only work at night).

Thanks for the help!

What if one were to forget to pick up the Colonel's uniform from the guy at the police station? :P

There is a second uniform in "secretboat1.ini", but where is the location of this secret boat?

Hi, i want to do the mission "The Briefcase", i interrogated the enemy and told me the briefcase is full of llello. Whe i talk with some dealers about the briefcase and want to sell them, they dont want, who can buy the briefcase? i visited al the cities but the plantation and nobody want it.

thanks

Stuck on The HQ
 

'The HQ' is the mission title:P

It is the government side mission where you take your team to Cali Calientos and kill a bunch of military commanders or the alternative, which I cannot get to work, to get some dynamite and a timer and blow up a supply warehouse.

You get the dynamite from the Logistical Officer in the capital, but I cannot find the timer. After a certain amount of searching I tried it with just the dynamite, that went awry. No way to 'sneak past' the guard. I could not get a silent kill on him any way I tried and enemy troops are placed so that both of the guards (on two different entrances to the same building) are in sight of others about 99% of the time. I then attemped to just run into the building and set the dynamite via the interaction with a specific box in the warehouse, then run out of the town, which went fine, but the mission never updated and one assumes the dynamite never went off.

Is there a timer I missed somewhere or is there perhaps another bug? I could just go in and gun everyone down, but I was hoping for some serious commando type stuff...

Thanks

@Daxxad
Please tell me more about the mission, from the name I'm not sure which mission you're referring to.

@devintownsend
I haven't played that mission since I got the English version of the game, and before that I always just went there and killed everyone, it's more fun that way.

But since I've been looking into the code I know a few things about it. You need to use Pereira to get past the guards, and you should use the Palinero uniforms on your team as well. most of the events in that mission are triggered when you reach certain locations, I think the Pereira dialog is one of those situations. And the dynamite you get from the depot traders is all you need, when you reach the right spot it'll be planted and the mission should be completed. Hope it helps.

R@S, do you know anything about this "secret boat", or any other means to obtain a colonel uniform as worn by Emberto Lim?

Sorry, I can't remember which map the Secret Boat is located. You can buy any uniform at Billy-Bob's after CGL 6, I think the resque tanya mission is after that level so that should work out for you.

I suppose so. This is actually for a guy who, I think, plays vanilla. Oh well, he'll just have to go in guns blazing.

Hi R@S, let me put it in images and with a timeline... (i dont have saves before sorry)

I received the mission to trasnport a breifcase and the warning that some enemies could try to attack me.

Some enemies attacked me, but, in the start of the battle my main character appears in a dialog and says "i have to capture the leader alife to interrogate
him", believe me there are no enemy marked "Leader" but at the end i found him and leave him alive until everyones elese was dead and he surrenders. He told me the contents of the briefcase.... and then i went to a trader
