BASE (3) in Against the Storm offers 4 mission choices, allowing you to complete 3. Recruit up to 6 mercs and find Shade.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You are presented with a choice of 4 missions.
  2. 2
    You can only complete 3 of these missions unless you intentionally fail one.
  3. 3
    After each mission, you receive a cash reward and more items become available in the arsenal.
  4. 4
    You gain access to the merc list in the Commander's room.
  5. 5
    You can hire up to 5 more mercs, increasing your total squad size to 6.
Tips
  • It is highly suggested to hire additional mercs before starting other missions.
  • Consider doing random encounters and selling the gleaned equipment to fund merc recruitment.
  • You can complete missions with undermanned squads if you desire a challenge.
  • There is no reason not to go with 6 mercs if your goal is to beat the game.
  • You will almost certainly need at least 4 mercs for the next compulsory mission after completing 3 of these 4 missions.
  • This is an excellent time to head to Switzerland to recruit Shade if you wish.
  • Shade is powerful and free to recruit.
  • You only need patience to wait for his random encounter to appear, which has an unspecified wait time.
