Strategy - Stocks & Scares HARD Solo

[Relative007]

With this talk of Stocks & Scares being “IMPOSSIBLE” on Hard Solo following Title Update 1.13, I have decided to try my hand at producing a guide that indicates how I successfully complete the mission.

 

Requirements:

· Buzzard Attack Chopper

· Personal Vehicle (PV)

· Have arrived at Merryweather Docks

 

Starting Point:

As soon as the mission launches request your PV and call Pegasus to request delivery of your Buzzard which will spawn at the SW end of the docks. Get in your PV and proceed to drive toward the usual insurgence point, dispatching the lone Merryweather Guard outside as you see fit (I run him over). NOW, position your PV as follows to prevent any additional Merryweather reinforcements from gaining entrance into the warehouse from the outside:

 

 

 

Leave just enough room for you to fit in between the car and the entrance.

 

Hacking the Terminal & Cracking the Safe:

Dispatch the Merryweather guards that would otherwise excessively shoot you (i.e. within rifle range) while you are running up the stair well to the Merryweather Office as quickly as possible and then PROCEED to sprint up the stair well and hack the terminal to open the door. Quickly take care of the guard hiding behind the wooden crates along the hallway and the three guards inside the office itself. NOW, instead of proceeding to crack the safe, run back into the hallway and shoot the stock trolley in front of the door you hacked as follows:

 

 

 

This should prevent any Merryweather guards from interrupting your safe cracking. PROCEED to crack the safe and retrieve the briefcase.

 

The Great Escape:

 

Do the following at full sprint and avoiding shooting as much as possible.

 

 

INSTEAD of sprinting down the main stair well, exit the door you hacked (depicted above) and take the narrow access way immediately to your right. PROCEED to take the first right so that you are running WEST along the warehouse and after a few seconds of sprinting, take what is the next right, followed by a quick left. You should now be running on rusted metal flooring.

 

Sprinting forward you will a set of stairs to your left with yellow handrails which provide an alternate access to the Warehouse floor from the Merryweather Office. After descending the stairs, IF you have done everything right, you should be looking at the scissor lift depicted below, with a Mammoth Patriot to the left of it (not depicted below):

 

 

 

Run down the right side of the scissor lift and sprint toward the next Mammoth Patriot which will be facing toward the security gates further west along warehouse. Get in the vehicle and drive along the length of the port to your waiting Buzzard.

 

Fly to Lester’s warehouse and deliver the briefcase.

 

MISSION COMPLETED

 

Note: I typically get gunned down near the bottom of the stair well. It is a fairly simple task to run back to the briefcase, dispatch the handful of Merryweather Guards that will be firing at you and then sprint back to the Mammoth Patriot.
