Quest Group: Ghost Recon: Wildlands - Fallen Ghosts DLC
Type: Story Mission
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the missions Cruzar, Hide and Seek, To the Death.
Colonel Merlo's out of his lair. The disruption of the Extranjeros operations and the death of 3 of his top men forced him out to handle the situation. This is the moment we aimed to create. Eliminate him.
Go to combat outpost, SW of Puerto Chico village in eastern precinct.
It was enough that I used rebel spotting skill on the central part of the outpost and the mission objective changed.
The pilot is in the building in the center of the outpost. To get there you need to go through Armeria building or use a Unidad vehicle to open one of two closed gates.
Start by eliminating four elite snipers on the towers and alarm ofc :-)
Get to the pilot, grab him, and interrogate him.
Colonel Merlo is waiting for you on a bridge about one kilometer away. Of course he will not be there alone.
Colonel Merlo is on top of the bridge. All roads leading to the bridge are blocked. There are plenty of special forces in the area, elite snipers, jammers, armored, and covert ops soldiers. There are also Unidad helicopters flying around.
Hint: You can use an explosive drone to destroy the helicopter(s) and stay undetected.
Kill as many as you can from a long distance, use sync shots, etc. Try to stay undetected as long as possible, when some of them start hunting for you, stay hidden, wait for them, and kill them one by one.
When it's possible, go to the container where Merlo is hiding, kick the door and kill him. He has a gun so ... throw in grenade? ;-)
Go to Caimanes Charlie rally point. Don't worry, you will be able to continue your Bolivian adventure, get more weapons, skill points, etc.
We leave Bolivia once again with the sense of a well accomplished mission. It's been an honor serving with you. Mè kheíron béltiston.
