Can I make the missions easier?

Question

I'm having trouble with a mission, and I'm retrying over and over again without any success.

Is there any way to make the mission easier or some sort of assistance that I can call in?

Answer 1

Getting the odds in your favor

Sometimes the game can seem daunting and difficult, sometimes it just feels like you've hit a brick wall.

Here are some features to help you clear your missions.

Buddy

Having a buddy in the game is awesome. But, sometimes, you need to make sure that you're using the correct one.

For example: there's no reason to be using Quiet if she can't access the area where you're carrying out the mission.

Chicken Hat

If you've struggled with the mission for a long time and had to retry several times then you might already know of this one.

The chicken hat is given automatically to anyone struggling with a mission, but you can also activate it manually in the Game Settings menu.

The feature of this very stylish looking hat? You will be a lot harder to spot. And I really mean a lot.

The hat grants a form of quasi-invisibility, rendering you almost invisible.

Please note, however, that use of this hat will restrict the mission score to a maximum of an A grade.

Air Support

Air support is a big, big advantage for you.

You can knock your enemies out with sleeping gas, change weather conditions or disperse smoke.

Think of this as a get-out-of-jail-free card. If you've been on a long mission and see a heavily guarded outpost up ahead. Just use the sleep gas and make them go nighty night.

Air support, just like the Chicken Hat restricts your mission score to that of an A grade.
