Tier 1 Ghost Mode missions guide with videos

Things to have:

  • Helicopter with rockets
  • Fully upgraded skills and rebel ops
  • Equip HEAL drone

Inca Camina (if you have these missions). The 3 downed plane missions can be done in 1 spawn.

  • Northern Plane
    • Activate the mission, fast travel to Inca Camina Alpha and spawn a rocket helicopter. Proceed to blow up the crates
  • Southern Plane
    • Activate the mission, fly there and blow up the crates
  • Eastern Plane
    • Activate the mission, fly there and blow up the crates
  • La Cabra

Remanzo

  • The Mule Doctors
    • Activate mission, fast travel to Marcavi. If daytime, redeploy for 2300
    • Mission video

Koani (Boston Reed can be activated and completed immediately finishing The Convoy, or complete as per the video. Up to you)

  • The Convoy
    • Activate mission, fast travel to Koani Charlie (I got lucky with how the convoy spawned, usually it is on the move)
    • Mission video
  • Boston Reed

Ocoro

  • El Emisario

Libertad

  • The Refinery Chief
    • Activate mission, fast travel to Viloma
    • Helicopter is not needed, just makes it quicker
    • Mission video

Espiritu Santo (The Adviser, Gold Rush North and La Santera's Chapel can be done consecutively if you wish)

  • The Adviser

    • Activate mission, fast travel to Espiritu Santo Alpha
    • Once the target as been marked with sync shot, be as quick as possible to execute
    • Mission video
  • Gold Rush North

    • Activate mission, fly there after completing The Advisor
    • Mission video
  • La Santera's Chapel

    • Activate mission, fly there after completing Gold Rush North
    • When parachuting out of the helicopter, hold in the ascend button as you jump out. Occasionally, parachuting out of helicopters can kill you from a hit with the rotor which is a game over
    • Mission video
  • La Santera

    • Activate mission, fast travel to Espiritu Santo Alpha. If daytime, redeploy for 2300
    • Mission video
  • The Quinoa Factory (this can be tricky, time consuming and dangerous. I only did this a few times before I stopped taking the risk)

    • Activate mission, fast travel to Acevedo (or anywhere close, doesn't matter). If daytime, redeploy for 2300
    • Take out the alarms and snipers first. If it ends up as a gunfight, goosing it out of there is pretty hard with an enemy chopper shooting you.
    • Mission video

General tips

  • Night ops help with stealth a lot
  • Use Tier XP Boosters (I did have a glitch where the mission XP did not reset. Possible workarounds for me were not having any mission active when starting the booster and exiting the game before the booster ends)
  • Single shot, not full auto unless engaged in a gunfight. Stealth kills require only 1 bullet with an AR. Pistol's may require 2-3 shots in Ghost Mode
  • Patience is paramount
  • Unless you are going for absolute immersion and purity, remember to redeploy or just close the game to avoid death. However, if you are down and have not been revived, leaving the game will end your character (post 2026 update, I could be wrong but don't risk it)
  • If you become hunted or suspected, move asap because enemies somehow just "know" where you are when you tip them off. Guerrilla tactics work if you get hunted or suspected (e.g sync shot a few enemies, move, repeat)
  • Don't experiment with different weapons in Ghost Mode. Pick something you are excellent and consistent with
  • If you don't have the Inca Camina missions, Framing El Way and Miners Strike (Villa Verde) and Soldiers of La Santera (Espiritu Santo) are manageable

If you made it this far, I want to thank you and I hope it helps. This is a great game and it was fun putting this together

Tier 1 Ghost Mode XP bug

I have a feeling there's a glitch with tier 1 xp on ghost mode. I'm at tier 11 and the base xp for some of the harder missions is 4200. 5600 with booster.

I thought the xp reset when you go down a tier but I activated a booster right at the start of tier 11 and all the missions went to half the amount of xp (2600) when I completed a mission.

What the fuck? I'm using prestige credits to get a booster and it does the literal opposite. I'm usually pretty chill with this game and it's bugs but this is next level fuckery.

Anyone else having this problem?

Do team members still target enemies inside cars?

I remember being able to target all 3 drivers of the convoys with the team and I'd use the explosive drone to blow up the chopper overhead.

I can't target drivers anymore, only gunners. Just wondering if this is happening to others.

I haven't maxed out the Squad skill tree yet as I'm doing another play through before going back to ghost mode.

Any help would be awesome!

EMP drone bugged

Like 4 times I've used it on convoys, the sparks go across the engine but the truck keeps driving wtf. I'm starting to remember how much this can really suck sometimes.

Also, how does an UNIDAD soldier survive a barrage of mortars!!!

Almost 6.5 years since I put decent time into this game. I started again so my active is the level 04 one but I'm keen to give Ghost Mode another go. Got to Tier 2 and was merk'd by a chopper convoy, so close to the gold
