Killzone: Mercenary - Mission 7 (Hostile Takeover): Precision Contracts (walkthrough)

Contract loadout requirements: M42

The mission requirements:

• Kill 1 enemy by detonating an enemy proximity mine
• Headshot both of Savic's guards
• Finish off an Exo with an explosive barrel
• Get through the interior courtyard without triggering a proximity mine

My recommendation to bring along on this contract loadout:

• Secondary Weapons: VC9
• Armor: Blast
• Van-Guard Systems: Carapace

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill 1 enemy by detonating an enemy proximity mine 

This objective can be done at the start of the mission. At the start of the mission after you drop from the dropship, shoot and detonate a mine near the nearest enemies to you. Which is a little to the left side but in front of you.

If you miss this kill, try to at less get this objective done on this starting area because it almost impossible to do it later in the mission.  

Headshot both of Savic's guards

It should be fairly easy because when you push open the door, both the guard will turn around and start shooting you. They will not move much nor will they try to melee you, so as long as you are alive you should be able to take the time but not too much time to aim and headshot them.
  

Finish off an Exo with an explosive barrel

I personally find this the hardest objective out of all four objectives for this mission. The above recommendation is for this objective alone.

You have two chances to do this objective and both of them is near the end of the mission; and both of them is needed to be done in front of the embassy building where there are actual explosive barrel around. The first chance is a 1 vs 1 when you just came out of the embassy building. The second chance if you (the player) did something wrong on the first chances but still have plenty of barrel around, will be after you go out of the gate and push a button to lower the bridge and come back to the embassy building. Now in the second chance you will face off in 1 vs 4 plus "X" number of soldiers. The second chance is much harder to do.

Assuming you have and is using my recommendation from above, like wearing the Blast armor and activating Carapace at all time while doing this objective.


The way to do this objective is shoot the EXO two time with a VC9 to damage it but not destroy it. Then the hard part is to somehow make the EXO go next to a barrel and you shoot the barrel with a gun and it will blow up. Do not uses any other method to blow up the barrel beside a gun to stay on the safe side of the objective.

Note: 3 shot with an VC9 will destroy the EXO.         

Make 3 Long Range kills with the M42 sniper rifle

Taking the same self made map from my previous walkthrough and reuses it for this walkthrough.

The above map is for an area where you trying to get to the lower rooftop and into the building, this after the the start of the mission area.

Assuming you kill the sniper in position [A] from above and wait until his dead body disappear before you jump down and uses position [A] location.

From position [A] take out [1], once you did that alarm will rise. Stay in [A] and snipe all enemies within your visual range until there no more.

Jump down from [A] location and back up to the wall and corner which I call [B], adjust yourself to be able to see the enemy and try to snipe [2]. Please note that this kill on [2] does not always give [Long Range] kill if you off a little bit.

After you kill [2], go to [C] location and have your back to the wall then adjust yourself until you can see the enemies [3] & [4]. Once you adjust yourself, shoot [3] & [4] and you done with this objective.
