Lonestar 11 Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Hi, Here's some feedback about PMC campaign's last mission. There's mortar in NTA Camp (the one in the south) but I can't seem to use it. It comes in two pieces: mortar and tripod but it's impossible to deploy the tripod. Is it a bug? I also found the Stinger in the other camp and when I took it, an optional task was succeeded. Thanks Edited December 4, 2010 by Lonestar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Maybe it is ,but you dont need mortar ,but keep the stinger ;) Did you finished this mission? if yes , i finished it with only xm8 and nothing else :D Edited December 4, 2010 by RobertHammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonestar 11 Posted December 4, 2010 I finished the campaign yea, Stinger is really a must have asset for the end. I was just wondering what went wrong and if anybody else managed to use the mortar. It looks like something didn't trigger when it should and the mortar is just a useless piece of heavy gear whereas it could have played a key role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfrug 0 Posted December 4, 2010 I was actually going to ask about this, if there was some more advanced way of finishing this mission. All I did was drive the SUV through the fence around the palace, sneak up past the helicopter and into the place, up the stairs, killing all the dudes, and finally knocking over Reynolds. Piece of cake. :) Although I did figure there had to be a less 'direct' way of doing this as well... Regards, Wolfrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted December 4, 2010 I had a champion time finishing this mission. I started off by bombarding the base, then basically hell-for-leather'd the SUV with Asano inside. Punted him out and told him to watch the secondary compound. Then I flanked right around the radar tower, put a couple of holes in some meandering guards and lay in wait by the chopper. Out comes Reynolds, jumps in the pilots seat, just in time for me to stand up, insert Dixon's AA-12 through the side door and ventilate his skull. Absolutely beautiful stuff. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) btw i was waiting at entrance of the base where i killed one guard and i was surprised when Reynolds tryes to escape (in that second i was thinking about mission fail)and then i shot down the helicopter with Xm8 - what a lucky shot that was :D Edited December 4, 2010 by RobertHammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malleus 0 Posted December 4, 2010 ...i shot down the helicopter with Xm8 - what a lucky shot that was :D Not to rain on your parade, but maybe http://dev-heaven.net/issues/15495 :) (though it still had to be a lucky shot...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedle 10 Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I used the mortar to destroy the helicopter (I knew where it was) and to destroy the villa (that crashed on Raynolds, killing him). Then some other mortar shells around the house to kill the guards. Then a nice trip to the house to collect the evidence and kill survivors ;-) To deploy the mortar: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1662940&postcount=2 Edited December 4, 2010 by Speedle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GCMC_i-jeanm 10 Posted December 4, 2010 The mortar works fine in my case (and I don't know how Renolds survive the big holes maked in ion QG, fortunatly I also had the stinger :) ). You need to lay down the mortar canon and have the tripod in the backpack, mounting is not the default action. Strings for radio miss when using the mortar. I obtain the STR_blabla_effectued, STR_blabl_cannot_do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonestar 11 Posted December 4, 2010 Ok guys, I managed to use the M252 mortar. Did you get an optional task added to your briefing when you found it? What I like in this game is that you can achieve a mission in many different ways ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FUNKSTAR 10 Posted December 4, 2010 Ive shot him down but when he dies it says retrieve materials, when I go to his brief case it does not do anything and I get no options to pick it up. Plus I also did not get to use the mortar. Also the guy with the shot gun, on my first attempt he died and I got a task to check his body, on my game now he didnt die he killed all the team, so I supose thats whats messed up my current game.

Malleus 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Ive shot him down but when he dies it says retrieve materials, when I go to his brief case it does not do anything... It was the same with me - I executed him and the mission completed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FUNKSTAR 10 Posted December 4, 2010 It was the same with me - I executed him and the mission completed. I tried that aswell but still the same, I guess its another level re-start, there lucky its a easy mission and dont take hours! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
draeath 10 Posted December 10, 2010 One single FN-FAL round through a window did it for me. All the way from the southern vantage point! Beautiful shot! ... now I just have to deal with the damn APC that wants to chew on me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L3TUC3 32 Posted December 10, 2010 I checked on Dixon (he was dead) and grabbed a bunch of ammo from the dead contractors. Then I headed for the NTA camps, nabbing the stinger and the mortar. I went to the southern vantage point where I set up the mortar (drop tripod and with M258 on back simply aim at the tripod pack on the ground to assemble with quick menu). Then I randomly spammed some shells into the villa compound. I don't know what I hit, but there was plenty of fire and explosions. Then Reynolds tried to escape with the chopper, but it was easily dispatched with the stinger. I drove over and grabbed the case and victory was mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
