Another prisoner interview. This time in the small village of Culta.
I opted for approaching from the southern cliffs to get a good vantage point and be able to snipe my way through the cartel members without alerting the whole camp.
1. Landing area. 2 recon and sniping line.
The prisoner is located in the church, I guess it is possible to enter it stealthy without eliminating all hostiles first. But I like sniping so I tend to go for the overkill approach.
At one point, two car arrived in the camp and alerted everyone. I have no idea how that happened as there was no indication of trouble before that.
Beware of the sniper on the church roof.
If you stay on the cliffs, then even if you get spotted on the ground, you will be able to keep them on a distance, only approach after you have removed all hostiles from the area. I.e. the all clear from your team.
Two part mission where we will start with questioning a Santa Blanca lieutenant that is located in the hills in the middle of Itacua.
There are different ways to do this, during my first playthrough I entered from the West and moved towards East through the camp. The lieutenant fled when he noticed what was going on and there was a chase to get him.
Pink enter by car and park at 1. Blue is where the lieutenant is. 3 should be the whole area of operation needed. Once interrogation is done, leave same way you came.
So this time, I thought I would enter the camp through his escape route, i.e. from the east and up the stairs.
I parked my vehicle behind a rock and used the drone to spot enemies.
When the cartel noticed me, the lieutenant fled right towards me and I was able to catch him before he entered a car. I dragged him back to my car and interrogated him behind the same rock.
Part two.
I started with getting a helicopter to make the mission a little easier. One is located downhill to the east. There is actually no need to get a helicopter at this point. You can just as well enter by car or foot.
1, leave you vehicle here. Blue line can be used for scouting with drone and sniping cartel members.
Move to the mission area and park you vehicle to the south out of vision from the cartel house.
Enter the bush-line and use your drone to spot enemies. Once you are comfortable with spotting. start sniping the lonely walkers first. I.e. those who wander the longest way from their friends, i.e. cull the herd.
If you get noticed at any point, just move to a different position in the bushes. Moving 20 meter can keep the men that are investigating a sound or hunting you from finding you. And you will have the possibility to flank them once they get closer to your previous position. Be a ghost.
Last part of the mission is to extract Amaru. There is a helicopter to the north of the house and you should just be able to fly all the way to the northern safe-house with little interruption.
