Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Walkthrough – Mission 8: Occupation Forces

While the Occupation Forces mission can be facilitated by developing a rocket, don't worry if you haven't done so yet. You can still successfully complete the mission using C4 and some clever tactics.

Before you can launch an attack on the convoy, you first need intel on its deployment. Infiltrate the base, as the information you require is located in the far upper corner inside one of the buildings.

Sneaking in from the right side, relative to the road and starting point, while moving through the back end is an effective approach. The cliffs provide continuous cover, shielding you from most lines of sight.

As the convoy approaches, call your horse and follow it closely. If you’ve already designed a launcher, the next part is straightforward: blow up both tanks from a distance on a secluded stretch of road, starting with the lead tank. Be sure not to destroy the truck! If you don’t have a launcher, continue shadowing the convoy until they reach a checkpoint, where they will come to a stop.

Approach a tank quietly and place C4 on its treads and rear, then retreat to a safe distance. Remotely detonate the C4 to disable the tank, and use a supply drop to replenish your C4 supply. If you set this up near a guard post equipped with a mortar, you can then use mortar shells to destroy the tank.

If the truck reaches its destination, you can infiltrate from the cliffs above the supply tents, then drop down to gradually take out the outpost. Keep in mind that the tanks' fields of view are indicated by the direction of their gun turrets.
