How to complete the mission?
Step 1: Choose the Right Mode & Timing (Very Important)
This mission is much easier if you control player density.
Best Options
- Normal Mode → safest and cheapest
- Lockdown Mode → faster PvP, higher risk
Best Time to Queue
- Early morning or late night (low player population)
- Increases chances of:
- Fewer squads
- Easier third-party kills
Step 2: Recommended Loadout (PvP-Focused)
You need fast operator kills, not prolonged fights.
Primary Weapon
- Assault Rifle: M4A1 / AK-74M / AKM 7.62x39mm
- OR SMG: MPX / Vector (close-range ambush style)
Ammo
- High-penetration ammo is mandatory
- BP / M855A1 / equivalent
Armor
- T4 armor minimum
- Helmet strongly recommended
Utility
- 2 frag grenades (very important)
- Painkillers
- Optional smoke for disengaging
Step 3: Best PvP Hotspots in Valley
Focus on areas where operators naturally converge.
High-Probability Locations
- Small Factory & Courtyard
- Supply Camp
- Noan Courtyard
- Eastern approaches (as described in mission flavor text)
💡 You do not need to stay in the east – it’s just narrative context.
Step 4: How to Secure Operator Kills Safely
Recommended Method: Third-Party PvP
- Move toward gunfire, don’t initiate first
- Let squads fight each other
- Clean up wounded players
- Reposition immediately after each kill
👉 Grenades are extremely effective for finishing operators behind cover.
Step 5: Squad vs Solo Strategy
Solo Players
- Play slow and opportunistic
- Avoid fair 1v1s
- Third-party only
Squad Players
- Operator kills usually count for the whole team
- Coordinate pushes and share kills
- Faster and more consistent completion
Step 6: Extraction Tips
- You do not need to extract to lock kills, but dying resets that raid’s progress
- Once you reach 3 operator kills, disengage and extract safely
- Do not chase extra PvP – it adds unnecessary risk
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Killing AI instead of Operators
❌ Playing during peak hours
❌ Taking fair fights instead of third-partying
❌ Staying too long after reaching 3 kills
Final Verdict
Special Operation tests your PvP awareness, not brute force.
The mission becomes easy if you:
- Control when you play
- Let other squads fight first
- Pick your engagements carefully
Play smart, third-party aggressively, extract early – and this mission becomes one of the most consistent operator-kill quests in Season 4.
