The mission is triggered under two circumstances: first, before Side Ops #6, the Side Op to obtain the Stun Arm blueprint becomes available early in the game after completing one of the missions between Missions 7 and 10. Second, before Side Ops #82, if Snake completes three of the four missions between Missions 7 and 10, the Emmerich Side Op is unlocked, temporarily setting aside the Stun Arm blueprint mission. Both Side Ops require passing through the Aabe Shipaf Ruins, which triggers the battle against Quiet.
If you want to defeat Quiet the old-fashioned way, your best weapon against her is a sniper rifle, although she can also be hit by a launcher under the right circumstances. Don't worry about using stun weapons, as Quiet moves rapidly from perch to perch, usually staying in one spot for only a few moments. She will often run and then perform a leaping teleport, sometimes dropping a grenade if she passes over your position.
The easiest way to take her down is by using the Fulton Supply Drop trick (details on the trick below) or by calling in a Sleeping Gas Strike. In either case, zoom in on her location and perform the action. The Sleep Gas attack can incapacitate her in one hit, while the supply drop will require two hits. However, be aware that the Sleep Gas takedown won’t earn you an S-Rank.
It's beneficial to go to one of the valley's tower ruins for a long-term engagement with Quiet. After flushing her out of her position—either by sneaking up on her or taking a shot—head to the tower and use the pillars as cover for protection.
Allow Quiet to spot you with her rifle, then quickly duck behind a pillar. Peek out and then duck back to draw her fire, causing her to miss. Next, use your binoculars to lock onto her position and duck back again quickly. Repeat this by ducking in and out to provoke another shot, then quickly line up your sniper rifle and take the shot. Since she tends to move frequently, repeat this process a few times, and you’ll be able to take her down with relative ease.
Another effective way to damage Quiet is by causing structural damage. Whenever she moves to a damaged structure, look for support columns that Snake can shoot. Shooting these columns will cause the structure to collapse on top of her, depleting her red health bar by 40% each time. Be sure to take advantage of this tactic!
After the battle, approach Quiet in the center of the ruins. At this point, you have the choice to either keep her alive or end her life. Think carefully before pulling the trigger! If you choose to shoot her, Quiet will disappear, preventing specific story missions from occurring and causing you to miss out on a valuable Buddy. To add her to the Mother Base roster, simply redo the mission and refrain from attacking her when Miller gives the order to kill her.
