Wildlands - Truck Depot Community Challenge - Bushwacker's Way

Truck Depot Mission - My Bane I must have tried this mission a million times when trying to complete the campaign. Eventually, I just skipped it and took the big bad guy down. Then comes the community challenge: Truck Depot mission replay with no guns! Ouch. Well I had to give it a try. Again, after a half dozen tries or so, I found I could bash them on the head all day long without penalty. See, I kept getting caught on the way out usually. One time I had it completed and was jumping off the compound wall when it failed the mission on me. That was it. It was bushwhacking time! My idea was I would take out all the guards encountered on my way to the intell. That way my escape path should be pretty clear. I didn't take that for granted though. Still, I almost got caught when I thought one marker was a guy out in the street, but he was inside! That was a close one. Should have checked my mini-map I guess. Here is how it turned out: The video is 1080p60fps so full...

The Yeti - Bagging The Yeti On Your First Try - I was either on advanced or extreme, not sure which. I think it was extreme though. There was a big build up about the Yeti. Like it as going to be an, forgive me, "extreme" challenge. One reason I suppose - the Yeti will one-shot-kill you. I think though if you know and use the tactics needed. Outfit with gear that will reach out and touch him. And you have characterized your sniper rifle and scope combo so you know where the scope's hash marks will hit at what range, then you should be fine. The hardest part is finding the guy. He isn't a yeti, but the Santa Blanca top sniper. I looked and looked and admit I had to watch some videos to find out where he was eventually. The reason I couldn't locate him was that I was searching for a sniper from a helicopter. Well, the Yeti doesn't spawn until you find a very particular boulder and interact with it. Kinda spoils the whole search for the Yeti thing doesn...

Sniping Helo's Just Shy Of A Klick! (Video)   -HTI Anti-Material Rifle & G28 Scope- Sniping helo's, chopper to chopper dog fights, exploding cars - just a normal day in the Wildlands. The video, "Hard On Helo's - Wildlands" will take you through a typical 24 hour day for the Wildlands. I was doing free play that 'game day'. Basically looking for trouble and finding plenty. A couple of good chopper dogfights with both guns and rockets. Then I take up station in Koani on top of the large natural stone bridge. It turns out to be a great place to snipe for for both autos and helo's. Two helicopters are sniped at extreme range, some at medium range. The two extreme range helo's were at 990 and 950 meters as best as I can tell. Much of the shooting is more by feel than science. The scope was only ranged, at the time, to 800m. Then after shooting the video I went back and doped it out to a kilometer. Needed help with that as I couldn't see ...
