This War of Mine 2022. Combat Guide. Military Outpost. Part 1 (of 2).

Looks at how to take out the first 4 of the 8 soldiers at the Military Outpost in a consistent way. Main variation is timing as sometimes it can take longer than others depending on their pathing, but most of the time can get the first 4 in time for looting and filling the backpack with lots of guns and other goodies.
Note there is a potential morale hit.

Finally thank u for making this guide mate 😍, can't waiting for second part 🙏

[@yurychan]

The fact is u don't use strong characters such as roman, arica and Boris make this guide 10x more good

[@kagang8959]

Second part coming out today.....

[@TruPunx89]

Yessss! Thank you! Love the new logo haha :)

[@kagang8959]

Thanks, appreciated.

I think, if you have a radio and you hear that the military is committing attrocities against civilians, the morale drop will be less severe or non-existent. I've seen characters get sad after clearing the military outpost in such runs, but it's rare.

[@kagang8959]

Interesting - will try that out

[@unclebary1866]

Im on ps5, when I go to attract the trader guy he sees me even when im in scavenge, probably because I have to manually run to the spot

[@guillaumepaquet5116]

At that point in the game, you probably have a reinforced door anyway and you can afford leaving her in bed to recover, wouldn't you agree?

[@vcbur]

Trader doesnt move anymore. Not working!

[@NoMerchy]

Same here, first time he left and everything was fine. But now he doesn't move anymore, think it glitches out when you rush through the dialogues

[@Anonymous12881]

idk if its bc a update but i cant steath kill the first guy, it always normal atacks him:(

[@kagang8959]

Hmm, sounds strange as there haven't been any updates for quite a while, so unlikely different. Make sure you have that sneak-kill icon before you attack (sort of a head with a knife going into the back of the neck) and should work. If not, haven't seen that before I'm afraid.

[@moonlitxangel5771]

Responding in case someone else has this: My guess is that you were using a different weapon or a different character or both.
Each character has a separate proficiency when it comes to combat. Roman is the best at combat (obviously - it's his ability) closely followed by Arica and Boris. All three of them can do those instakills from stealth with their bare hands. Henrik, Bruno, Emilia, Christo, Marin, Marko, and Pavle can do the instakill from stealth with a crowbar, knife, shovel, and hatchet. Anton, Irina, Katia, and Zlata need the knife, shovel, or hatchet. Cveta can't do one at all regardless of weapon with the SINGLE exception of the old couple at The Quiet House.
The only other reason I can think of that might cause what you're describing is if the NPC moves quickly and you THINK you hit for an instakill backstab and you were a second too late.

That guy never leave tried 10 times

[@kagang8959]

If you mean the guy at the front, you have to speak with him first and say 'not interested' to trigger the guy at the back to come get him. If that doesn't happen, bug.

[@mysticumel]

@@kagang8959 i did :/

[@kagang8959]

@@mysticumel that sounds odd, I've never had him not leave , after offering to trade and saying no thanksso something buggy must be happening

[@NoMerchy]

Damn, playing this now and he doesn't leave with me neither. Think it has to do with the dialogue
