Guide to Coveted 1.14 (Hard Mode, Zero Deaths)

[ctan800]

 

1) Green is the Pilot/Assault Team that will make the way towards the Cargobob landing. Their responsibility is to FIRST shoot where they spawned with a sniper rifle. Once targets run out, quickly advance to the cargobob landing site before the two minutes run out.

 

2) Red is the Sniper Team, their mission is to snipe the Guards at the OLD landing spot (Yellow Dot), and then snipe the people guarding next to the SUVs across the bridge. Finally, make your way to the top of the hill overlooking the new container location (Blue Dot) to get easy kills on the RPG wielding guards. Make sure they are dead before the Cargobob shows up! After killing the New Location RPG guards, make your way across the cove and start killing off any surviving Guards across the bay.

 

3) Purple is the "2-Minute Timer Trigger" it is imperative that no one just runs down that hill at the beginning and set it off by accident. Only advance and cross the purple line once all possible targets for sniping down the Cargobob hill are dead.

 

 

As far as flying the cargobob to Lester's Warehouse goes... its simple, balance the little lines on your minimap to gain maximum speed and fly over the water because the pursuing chopper wont be able to catch up. It's not even a Buzzard. Just a ordinary Maverick with armed Merryweather looking people inside.

This is like some form of Military Plan.

We go in at 0600 hours

How about everyone start grinding "Bust Out" and leave this mission for dead. Maybe then R* will stop nerfing missions when they see the result is no one playing them after they get updated.

[Jehannum]

Agreed. Nerfing is always simply an admission that they planned things badly.

[luisniko]

The biggest problem with the current coveted is when your teammates aren't sniper shooters and can't fly a heli.

Finally... FINALLY, someone uses strategy around here!

 

I always loved playing with small tactics.

[Grumpy-Goat-]

Good plan but way too involved. All you need is two competent (I stress competent) players to run through this swiftly. I agree with the 2 minute barrier not being breached and flying over water, but there is no need to sweep an entire second team to the opposite side of the cove. A two man team making their way down the spur of the hill as usual gets the job done swiftly.

[JC Hammer]

This latest update has made an abomination of Coveted.

 

I used to enjoy a perfect Coveted run, 6 shots, no hits, pick up the Bob in one sweep..... no more

 

Retire it, I wont play it again...

[Wombater]

I just snipe everyone before the 2 minute marker...

[JaegerV2]

I never knew this mission needed an actual strategy lol all I do is use a silenced sniper rifle and Kill everything in sight.

 

After its just a case of grabbing the Bob / Container and use the sea. The chasing helicopter never gets close. job done.

[BigStu4q]

Although I love the lengths you've gone to in making that strategy. You have really overcomplicated it

 

all you need is 2 players, snipe everyone. one guy gets the heli and container then hovers for a few minutes while the 2nd player takes out the attack chopper

You don't even need to bother with the chopper. Just grab the container and go over the water. It only catches up just at the end and won't be able to do any significant amount of damage for you to worry about.

I've heard alot of people say this, but it never seems to work for me. the chopper finds me and kamikazes into me.

Then (not to sound like a d-bag but it will...) it's your flying.

Make sure you've turned the cargobob to face the drop-off before you pick up the crate, so you're getting up to speed from the moment the enemy chopper spawns.

I found the easiest way to deal with any NPC helicopter is to fly low right through the turbine wind farm, then follow the highway low as well. It always crashes before getting 2 shots off.
