Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Walkthrough – Mission 45: A Quiet Exit

You will complete the first objective almost immediately. As you approach the Palace, a cutscene will trigger in which you meet up with Quiet, successfully finishing this task.

The real challenge of the mission kicks in right after the cutscene with Quiet. Waves of armored vehicles will start attacking your position, and the best strategy is to stand your ground in front of the palace. Instead of hiding from the tanks, confront them directly using your CGM rockets. Take cover behind the large rocks situated in front of the palace and utilize the CGM Lock-on feature to fire your rockets whenever the opportunity arises.

No need to worry about running out of ammo; once you're low, an automatic supply drop will be called in at no cost to you. After you take down the first seven vehicles, you'll get a brief reprieve before the next wave arrives. Keep pressing the attack with your CGM launcher, focusing on eliminating all remaining vehicles while letting Quiet take care of the standard soldiers. Once you destroy the final vehicle, a cutscene will trigger.

Once the mechanized unit is defeated, you'll need to carry Quiet through a sandstorm to the landing zone (LZ). The challenge here is the near-zero visibility! Stick close to the mountain walls and proceed cautiously toward the LZ to the south. Be aware of two soldiers you might encounter when you're about 150 meters from the LZ, as they'll require careful navigation to avoid detection and successfully complete the mission.
