Tips for S Ranking Story Mission 08?

[DuplexGemini]

It’s the only S Rank I have left and with the servers closed (did it online on PS3 but doing it on 360 now), you can only do it solo.

 

There have been videos on players doing it solo but some of them don’t even show what build they used so I’m confused what weapons they had for me to try and replicate their strategy.

I’ve done all the S ranks now solo on the Xbox 360 version and the sub quests (even the infamous No Allies Lost one on Mission 03 on first try!)

 

for Mission 08, I learned how to time to the heat pile drivers and melee’d the 3 AC’s as I swapped out the weapons via the bay units.

Just hardcore mode left to do on both versions. Will see how that fares out

That one is a bitch. Try bringing tank legs and TE weapons. I think those mess up Blue Magnolia. Just scan her to be safe.

EDIT: nvm, I had this tab opened before the OP replied that they had done the mission.
