  • Extract the Intel Team member
  • Extract the Intel Team member before he can have an accident

Extract the Intel Team member

You'll find the Intel Team member at the outpost to the southwest of Kungenga Mine.

As you head towards his position, he will commandeer a vehicle in an escape attempt, only to crash it shortly afterwards.

Follow the plume of smoke to the crash site and extract him before the enemy soldiers reach him, as they'll execute him immediately.

Extract the Intel Team member before he can have an accident

Tranquilise or fulton your target before he makes off in the truck to prevent his accident. Move through the base quickly if you want to intercept him before he makes it to the vehicle.

Exfiltrate the hot zone with Intel Team member by land

If your target has gone for a joyride, he'll be injured and getting out of the area by land will be a given, as you'll be unable to fulton him off.

D-horse will be a helpful buddy to bring along on this excursion, otherwise hoist him onto your back and run like the wind.
