Well, it looks like it worked just fine. I tried it the first time, placing everyone but one merc inside the exit point. They were all crouched, too close together to prone. But even then, when I upset the whole camp they were able to see and fire at my team and they beat them up pretty good while I waited for the timer to count down. So I tried it again, the second time around I popped a white smoke to screen my team at the exit point while the one guy went forward and killed Vittori.
After that I went back to Calderon and paid the 50k to make peace with the rebels again. He also had the option to pay 100k to make peace with the government, even after I made peace with the rebels. I haven't been back up there since I turned the quest in, not sure if that option is still there now. If so, what will that do? Does that mean I can be friendly with both sides again even though I'm technically a rebel member?
I'm finding a few new interesting items. The first one is some SWAT tactical vest, but I'm not sure if it's better than the M500 assault vest with a level IV ceramic plate insert. I can't believe my mercs can carry so little, as an infantryman I was humping about 200lbs of gear and still able to run when needed. Do mercs gain storage ability over time, or is there something in particular that I should work on to get their carry capacity up faster?
I'm also finding a couple grenade launchers available, one for the AK variants and one for the M16/M4 and HK models. I just found one of each, and one round of ammo for each, so I'm hoping more will pop up as I do more missions. I'm already on my 90th day and already my people are loaded up pretty well. I still see a lot of misc magazines for weapons I haven't spotted yet, like the L96 sniper rifle is only showing the rare magazine but no weapon yet. I'm also finding it impossible to find more magazines for my SR25 rifle.
I'll be off to work on more quests from Tanya. Since I can't easily enter towns she is pretty much the only one giving quests at the moment. I have everyone wearing police uniforms, so that might make it easier to enter towns as you suggested. Will find out later.
