This stealth-focused guide explores two essential non-lethal tools in Kojima Productions’ latest title. The silenced long-range incapacitator and concealment device become accessible after completing specific covert operations early in the Australian chapter, though many players might overlook this critical mission chain.
Acquiring the Phantom Marksman Kit and Obscuration Devices
These tactical tools become available after fulfilling the Shadowed Relics Retrieval Operation at the Isolated Command Post. Successful completion of this ghostly terrain infiltration mission enables network synchronization, subsequently unlocking both specialized items for fabrication.
Tactical Employment and Strategic Considerations
Long-Range Incapacitator [Fabrication Matrix: 80 Polymers, 100 Alloys, 80 Compounds]
This precision instrument specializes in neutralizing organic threats through pharmacological payloads, though ineffective against spectral entities or automated defenses. Operators should note the conspicuous audio signature and implement counter-detection measures when deploying. Strategic positioning combined with obscurants creates effective hit-and-run tactics.
Operational controls include:
- L2 trigger activates telescopic targeting
- R1 input stabilizes respiratory interference
- Right stick depression modifies ocular magnification
- R2 actuation discharges payload
Projectile trajectory follows parabolic physics, requiring elevation compensation for distant targets. Marksmen must account for environmental variables and gravitational influence when engaging beyond medium range.
“Engineered for discrete neutralization, this gas-powered launcher delivers specialized anesthetics through rifled barrels. Integrated variable optics facilitate precision engagements, though operators must remain mindful of acoustic consequences.”
Visual Obscuration Device [Fabrication Cost: 125 Polymers]
Access this concealment tool through the radial menu’s projectile section. Deployment involves directional pad navigation followed by trajectory alignment using shoulder triggers. The generated vapor screen enables rapid positional adjustment while disrupting hostile tracking systems, particularly effective against enhanced optical surveillance units.
“Pyrotechnic canister emitting dense particulate clouds that impair visual acquisition and respiratory functions. Effective against both biological and paranormal observers, with minimized acoustic detection risk during deployment.”
Ectoplasmic Zone Infiltration Protocol
Initiate this operational chain through the Weapon Components Delivery: Isolated Command Post side objective. Post-delivery authentication requires completing the subsequent Phantom Zone Artifact Recovery mission within spectral territory. Mission parameters emphasize non-confrontational infiltration amidst persistent paranormal activity.
Critical infiltration considerations:
- Maintain crouched traversal with active spectral detection systems
- Employ respiratory suppression near hostile presences
- Monitor companion unit stability parameters
- Optimize climbing apparatus usage through terrain analysis
- Utilize directional scanning for path retrospection
Post-mission unlocks enable subsequent assignments involving governmental outposts, optimally tackled during Chapter 3 progression. The Surveillance Gear Retrieval operation provides ideal field testing for newly acquired tactical systems.
