Strike Force 01: SHIPWRECK | Strike Force: Challenges CoD: BO II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Attention! You don't have to complete the mission to pass the challenge - you have to lose (Mission Failed) or win (Mission Complete), but you can't leave it by exiting it (Quit).

 

Destroy CLAWs (x2) using only Soldiers:

Not a difficult challenge. You only need to check what kind of equipment the soldier you want to use to destroy a CLAW has. If he doesn't have a heavy weapon - a heavy machine gun or a sniper rifle - switch to a different soldier. You might also use all explosives, however, good weapon is the key, and you should leave the explosives for one of the remaining challenges. Perhaps one of your men will have a rocket launcher. If he does, naturally, you should use his help.

The first CLAW will most likely be standing by your main target, in the very center of the map (picture above).

When you destroy it, the other one will appear near the place where you started the mission (picture above). This may take a while, so start passing other challenges and only after that look for the second target.

Use only 3 network intruders to complete the mission

In other words, your enemies can't destroy a single hacking module (picture above). Guard it carefully with soldiers and ASD, even on Recruit level, to make sure you pass the challenge.

Complete mission with more than 2:00 remaining

If you are playing the mission through on Recruit level just to play it as fast as possible, then there can be up to six minutes left till the end of the mission. This is a very easy challenge, though you'll probably have to play the mission only to pass the challenge.

Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with Headshots

Ten accurate headshots is not much. A lot of enemies will be hiding behind various covers, so their heads will be "asking" to get hit. Several enemies are standing still on the containers surrounding the main target in the middle of the map. In addition, it's good to play as a soldier who has a gun with good zoom (picture above).

Melee enemy personnel (x15)

An easy challenge. Naturally, pass it on Recruit level, preferably at the beginning of the mission. Start with the soldiers dropped off by the helicopter (picture above). Run around and hit the enemies with combatant suppression knuckles.

Destroy enemy ASD (x3) as a CLAW

As a CLAW pay special attention to ASDs (picture above). If you can't see them, look out for the robots on the map. It's probably the best to go to the center of the map as soon as your CLAW appears. From there, it's not far to any spot. Another option is to wait at the starting point - the majority of ASDs are going there. Simply stand at the gate and wait for the robots.

Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with explosives:

An easy challenge. Some soldiers have explosive grenades (first picture above) and you can also use ASD and CLAW grenade launchers (second picture above), although the latter is far too slow. Don't use any other weapons besides the ones just mentioned, and after a few explosions the challenge will be yours.

When throwing any grenade, try to choose the most numerous groups of enemy soldiers - at least two. Look out for helicopters on the map - there are several permanent locations where they will drop off the soldiers (groups of 4 and 5 men). It is best to lie in wait for them. Wait till all are on the ground or catch them when they're running together to any side.

It's best to switch to the next soldiers, and if they have EMP grenades, to pass the challenge below, if explosive ones - the challenge that's being described now. When there are no more grenades, switch to another soldier. In the case of ASD, just keep going on the map, search for enemy soldiers and kill them with a grenade launcher.

Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) while they are stunned

This challenge can be a little onerous. You must recognize the grenade icons in the lower right corner, and select only those soldiers who have EMP or flash-bang grenades. Throw a grenade at the enemies (first picture above) and shoot them all (second picture above) or run up to them with combatant suppression knuckles.

Run over enemy personnel (x20) with ASD

This challenge can be a bit onerous and you'll probably need to dedicate one mission play-through on Recruit level to pass it. Your task is to run over twenty enemies. The problem is that, even on Recruit level, if you drive straight at a number of enemies shooting at you, your ASD can get easily destroyed (picture above).

At the beginning of the mission, capture the nearest target - you must do it, as only after that will the ASD appear. Then, simply drive and search for enemy soldiers (look at the minimap, it is very useful). Avoid enemy ASDs and don't get too close to CLAWs! In order to run an opponent over (picture above), your CLAW must be speeding - it's not enough to touch the enemy with the tracks. Sometimes it happens that, instead of running an opponent over, you are just "passing through" him without killing him.

Keep all your men and all robots in the starting place, so that they don't disturb you in passing the challenge. Keep in mind that later the ASDs are dropped off in pairs. Look out for any group, easy to be run over - for example, the soldiers running in single file towards your starting position (picture above). Don't stop searching and eventually the challenge will be yours.

Complete the mission in "tactical view" only

Immediately after the mission has begun and after you've started controlling any of the soldiers, don't do anything - don't move, don't shoot, don't look around, just press the change view button to go to tactical view. Don't turn it off till the end of the mission.

You may have some trouble when doing this mission because of the stupidity of the AI, which directs your troops and doesn't follow your orders. Remember about a few general principles. First, try to point at opponents yourself as often as possible. This will increase the survivability of your troops (especially in the first minutes of the game). Immediately after the mission has started, order everyone to capture the target in (2) (picture above). Defend yourself against the enemies, and if you don't manage to capture the target, because all of your men are dead, wait for the ASD. Clear the area around (2) with the robot, so that the next squad of soldiers can easily take and keep the target.

The next target you will capture will be the one next to which an enemy CLAW is standing. Don't be reckless, wait for some reinforcements - your previous ASD should have survived, after a while you'll get a second one and you should also have two squads of soldiers. If, for example, there's one soldier left in a squad, send him to die and wait for the next full squad. Go where there's no CLAW and separate the troops a little along the way so that the ASDs can go first and focus the enemy fire on themselves (picture above) (your soldiers are faster than ASD, so don't let them overtake the robots). Then, command the soldiers to capture the target and use the ASDs to drive around and point at the enemies. In the meantime, as soon as you have a CLAW, instantly have it destroy the enemy CLAW. Afterwards go back to taking the second target.

The last target remains. First destroy the CLAW with you own CLAW, if this has not yet happened, and then hit the enemy soldiers, ASD and quad-drones with all the squads. Command the soldiers to place the hacking module and protect it - put the CLAW in its place, while the ASDs should patrol the area and destroy enemies (picture above). After capturing the three targets, when an appropriate message appears on the screen, press the use button and aim the rocket at the designated ship.
