Recruiting a strong team is fundamental. Here's how to maximize your recruitment efficiency:
- Tranquilizer Headshots: A headshot with a tranquilizer weapon (Mk. 22, Mosin Nagant) is an instant knockout, making recruitment much faster and safer.
- CQC Choke & Drag: For enemies you can get close to, a CQC choke is silent and effective. Immediately drag the body to your truck.
- Scout for High Stats: Before engaging, use binoculars or your Spy Unit to identify soldiers with high stats. Prioritize these recruits.
- Wi-Fi Scan Exploits: Regularly use the Wi-Fi scan feature. While it's designed for local connections, sometimes it can pick up 'ghost' soldiers even without an active access point, or you can use a second PSP as a dummy access point to generate recruits.
- Recruitment Missions: Focus on Extra Ops specifically designed as 'Recruitment Missions' as they often have a higher density of valuable soldiers.
- Truck Capacity: Be mindful of your truck's capacity. If you're full, you'll have to leave valuable recruits behind. Plan your extractions.
A well-oiled recruitment machine will quickly fill your base with top-tier soldiers, boosting all your units.
