Side op 150 will kick off this episode, and there’s no way to back out of it. As implied by the episode title, Quiet won’t be available as a buddy after this, so make sure you’re ready to have her leave the team.
Make contact with Quiet
Head to Lamar Khaate Palace to find Quiet.
Eliminate the Soviet mechanized unit
After Quiet is free, a large number of armoured vehicles and tanks will show up.
Homing missiles and mines are a necessity. Plant the mines on the road – although the vehicles aren’t confined to them and can enter the area from another direction.
Keep supply drops coming in and relocate to the drop point. Plant more mines, shoot off more missiles, call in a resupply and move again.
Obtain Quiet’s cassette tape
After a cutscene, there will be a trail of footprints in the sand. Follow them to find the tape hanging from a tree.
Extract 7 tanks and 7 armored vehicles
The wormhole fulton is your best chance of extracting vehicles, as the enemy soldiers will shoot down the balloons.
