Encountering the Skulls in Side Ops is a significant challenge. These missions require heavy firepower and tactical awareness. The Skulls are fast, resilient, and can inflict status effects. Shotguns, assault rifles, and rocket launchers are effective. Focus fire on one Skull at a time. Using Quiet as a buddy can provide crucial sniper support. Be prepared for a prolonged engagement and use your supply drops for ammunition and health. These missions often reward rare materials.
