Mission 21: The War Economy
A very easy and quick mission if you already know the location of the CFA Official. He will always be in the same building, just go where I go in the video. Kill him, then escape the hot zone. A speedrun will easily earn you the S-Rank, you don't have to be stealthy.

There are two golden rules for getting S-ranks:
1. Don't try it on your first playthrough (a lot of strategies only work when replaying missions and you will unlock better gear over the course of the game).
2. Skip all cutscenes to save time (yes, cutscenes add to your time and will greatly reduce your points!)

S-Rank Strategies, basic tips and things you should know:
- Getting 130,000 points in a mission unlocks the S-rank (same score requirement for all missions)
- Only main missions have a ranking system, side ops don't. Main missions 02, 22, 43 are an exception, they don't have any ranks. There are 50 main missions in total.
- Completing the missions as quickly as possible without being seen is usually good enough. Skip the bonus objectives, they take too long and will complicate things.
- Equipping the Invisibility Camo, Parasite Suit, Raiden Suit, Cyborg Ninja Suit, Chicken-Hat, Infinity Bandana, using D-Walkers Fulton Ballista or calling in air strikes / helicopter support will void the S-rank. With these items you are limited to A-rank at best. So don't use them!
- On your first playthrough of the missions, always try to take out the enemy radar stations. This gives you a huge tactical advantage because you can call the extraction helicopter directly to the enemy base (or start the mission there).
- S-Ranks earn you a lot more money and heroism than lower ranks

With these tips in mind you should have very little trouble following these video guides and obtaining all S-ranks. Be warned, however, that the game uses a variable difficulty system. If you use a lot of headshots, enemies will get helmets. If you always infiltrate at night, enemies will get night vision goggles. If you always use sleeping grenades, enemies will wear gas masks etc.
In this walkthrough series I stick to the basics to make it as easy to replicate as possible. These guides are fairly spoiler free as I skip the cutscenes to save time.

There's an even easier way to do this. Deploy at 0600, and Equip a Sniper (Preferably a powerful one like the Brennan). On the NW side of where you spawn there's a hill past the road. Get to the right-ish side of the hill. You'll be able to see the target walk past an open window (You may have to re-position a little to get a clear shot). Wait for him to walk past the window and take him out. Then run backwards to leave the hot zone. 2 minutes, and an S rank.

The S ranking in this game makes no sense at all... u get it even without doing optional objectives.. its all about less time.. not a good ranking system..
Ps :- I still love the game

THANK YOU Pyx! This mission has been a HUGE pain in the ass and this helps a lot!

Thanx my man, without your quality example video's I never get a S rank

I did it in half a minute by perching up a hill near the deploy point and just firing a cgm 25 launcher in the window, but you need to id the target first then shoot.
Easiest S rank of my life.

These are out-F*ing-Standing! Massive help. I tried doing it “My Way” and I end up alerting enemy, having to kill everyone or call in QUIET for backup just so I can get it done.

I think I did too many night missions

Has anyone else come across the Silent Hills PT radio in the tent right before you head into the factory area. That was lowkey creepy the first time I heard it playing in this game.

I S-Ranked it by waiting at the hangar where the truck they drive off with is, tranq. + fultoning them both and riding a materials container out. My cleanest mission to date ;)

Start with a suppressed sniper rifle with 8x zoom and just snipe the guy from the rooftop on the west side. It's far easier, quicker, and makes an easy S even for the Total Stealth version.

Wow! I didn't think it could be done that way! Thanks for the video! I'm now going to complete the mission in that way.

your videos are incredible, it's just this particular mission can be done in less then 4 min no kills reflex alerts, the back entrance to the main compound just above where you put the marker, there is a small gate, rush to it then there is just one walker gear to get past, go straight upstrairs for the cfa guy, Fulton, done !

Why is your airport empty? Mine is full of guards. Add to that, there is a sniper at the roof of one of the buildings taking potshots of me the moment I try to get near the airport.

Автор

I dont get it, you didnt do any of the objectives.
Meanwhile, I extracted the arms dealer and escort, id'd their faces all stealth and only get A rank

I did it without reflex or killing but I extracted the CFA official only and didn't go near the Arms Dealer as I already extracted him in a previous attempt but only this time I got an S-rank, strange, I try to follow in your footsteps but it turns out that I surpass as I always get the FoxHound badge though I'm kinda lethal but only when the other alternative is death by the enemy.

Wow this was the easiest one by far. First try! Thanks

Easy way to do this is to fire rockets into the building from either an open space from the back or through the front.

I knew that entering the airport from the eastern entrance was mucking me up.
Target's AWOL by the time you get there.

You can snag an S rank here easy just by waiting at the hangar they go to first and fultoning them. You'll want to countersnipe the sniper on the rooftop though.

It's better to extract him, he becomes a valuable asset to your combat unit.

I think the way some of these S Ranks work are great, you really need to think outside the box for this one.
No way you could complete it this way first time you play the mission
