Couldn't See the Lunar Eclipse Yesterday (Sept 27, 2015; Local Times)

I couldn't see the lunar eclipse/super moon combo yesterday on Sept 27, 2015 (PST) [Sept 28, 2015 on UTC] due to freaking cloud coverage in my local area before around 6:00 PM PST which lasted until around 9:00 PM PST. Which by then the lunar eclipse is over. This is the last (total) lunar eclipse until 2019 in this part of the world; the lunar eclipse/super moon combo will come back in 2033. I did state I was taking pictures of lunar eclipse in my earlier blog, well I forgot to mention I posted those picture on wikipedia. I only took two picture of the "total" lunar eclipse out of four lunar eclipse that happen on this part of the world. The "2014 Apr 15" I didn't took the picture because I didn't have the camera to take it.

My two picture is in 2014 Oct 08 and 2015 Apr 04 are under the location Santa Clara County, California. I going post my picture for 2015 Sep 28 later of when the moon finally show up but after the full lunar eclipse. It just my luck that there cloud coverage in my local area, well lucky for people who live in the north bay while us south bay get cloud coverage (complain by me)

My Killzone Mercenary future Walkthrough?

Future Killzone Mercenary Walkthrough is on hold because I'm too lazy to write them and I'm playing some other games as well. Well, there probably one contract that I probably can not do and won't write while the rest of the unwritten one some far; I will challenge myself into doing it and then make an easy for even beginner gamer and/or to this game to be able to do it.

After all the Walkthrough that I can do and write, I will then post and link other Walkthrough and/or helpful advise sites and give my opinion how helpful they to experiences (hours played) but not so skilled player.

Noted that most contract mission is doable as long they (the player) played the game long enough to understand the game itself and how to move and shoot.

Killzone: Mercenary - Mission 4 (Diplomatic Incident): Demolition Contracts (walkthrough)

Contract loadout requirements: VC-G11 Gas, VC39

The mission requirements:
  • Kill 10 enemies with gas grenades 
  • Kill 30 enemies with VC39 Accelerator Rifle
  • Achieve 5 Mercy kills
  • Injure 10 enemies

My recommendation to bring along on this contract loadout:
  • Van-Guard Systems: Arc Missile
Please note that a Helghast flamethrower trooper cannot be injured in any way beside killing them normally while an officer cannot be "Mercy killed".   
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill 10 enemies with gas grenades  


There are plenty of enemies on this mission to do this objective; please note that VC-G11 Gas has zero to no affect on helghast flamethrower troops so don't bother try to gas them.     

  

Kill 30 enemies with VC39 Accelerator Rifle


There are plenty enemies on this mission to do this objective.
   

Achieve 5 Mercy kills


Methods and their chances of success (only will happen if the enemy are injured):
  • VC-G11: Low Chance even if the enemies is on the outer edge of the gas
  • Arc Missile: High Chance if it one vs one situation.
  • Melee: High Chance (100%), will not get mercy kill from enemy's officer    
      

Injure 10 enemies

 

Methods and their chances of success:
  • VC-G11: Average Chance if the enemies is on the outer edge of the gas
  • Arc Missile: High Chance if it one vs one situation.
  • M2 Tranquilizer Pistol: High Chance (100%) if you hit the enemy (will not work on Helghast flamethrower) 
  • Average or Low Damaging Gun: A chance if you attack their leg in one vs one situation where you might have more control of how many shot is taken.

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

Contract loadout requirements: STA-12, Sky Fury

The mission requirements:
  • Kill 25 enemies with STA-12 Inferno shotgun 
  • Kill 15 enemies with Sky Fury
  • End jamming in 4 minutes after it starts
  • Destroy 25 enemy proximity mines


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

Kill 25 enemies with STA-12 Inferno shotgun  


There are plenty of enemies on this mission to do this objective; I recommend doing this indoor or any location that the "Sky Fury" kills objective can't get to.     

  

Kill 15 enemies with Sky Fury


There are plenty enemies on this mission to do this objective; I recommend doing this outdoor since it can only be done outdoor.
   

End jamming in 4 minutes after it starts


The jamming starts along with the objective timer the second you enter the courtyard the second time.

The jammer is on right corner on the opposite side where you just exit into the courtyard. It only take a few second to walk or dash across the courtyard. How you go about this is up to you (the player).
      

Destroy 25 enemy proximity mines

 

There are more then 25 enemy proximity mines on this mission to do this objective but there will be no more proximity mines when you re-entering the courtyard and thereafter on the mission.

Killzone: Mercenary - Mission 8 (Blood Money): Demolition Contracts (walkthrough)

Contract loadout requirements: STA-G2 Pyro

The mission requirements:
  • Burn an enemy in the incinerator in Lab 01
  • Kill a rocket trooper with a Brutal Melee
  • Destroy 3 Intruders
  • Kill 8 enemies with STA-G2 Pyro grenades


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

Burn an enemy in the incinerator in Lab 01 


There are two ways to turn on the incinerator in "Lab 01"; one is to physically push the button to turn it on and the other way is shoot the button to turn it on. 

I recommended when going to the "Lab 01", go climb the ladder on the left side to enter the lab 01 and when your top jump around to make your presences known. When your presences is known they will be alerted and ready to fight while using cover, you then proceed to climb down to lab 01. Make sure that you lurk some into the incinerator as a cover before you climb down to lab 01. If this didn't work the 1st time, fight from the top and lurk some until you get the objective done.   

  

Kill a rocket trooper with a Brutal Melee


The objective is asking you (the player) to melee a rocket trooper from the front.

Rocket Trooper Location:
  • (1) The start of the mission
  • (1) The area after "Lab 02" but before the vault door area.
   

Destroy 3 Intruders


Location of destroyable "Intruders":
  • (2) The start of the mission on the deck.
  • (1) Lab 02; this intruder will not stay long, so it hard to destroy it given the time limit to reload and shoot it twice (not recommend for beginner and/or unskilled player)
  • (1) In front of the vault door area; it will stay and fight if the alarm was rise but if no alarm was ever rise it will leave. If the intruder stay and fight, do not kill off the soldiers on top of it unless you kill all of them along with the intruder all at once. 
You can uses the Van-Guard: Sky Fury on the Intruders at the 1st and 3rd location but not the 2nd. You can also uses an "explosive" type of weapons of your choice to destroy the Intruders. 
      

Kill 8 enemies with STA-G2 Pyro grenades

 

A simple objective where it should be easy to complete. I recommend when doing this objective is to do it in enclose spaces or crowd places.

Killzone: Mercenary - Mission 5 (The Package): Covert Contracts (walkthrough)

Contract loadout requirements: Vultur

The mission requirements:
  • Stealth through the Market
  • Backstab 5 soldiers near the elevator entrance
  • Kill 20 enemies with the Vultur active
  • Stealth into the Outpost


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

Stealth through the Market 


This apply only when you at the "Market" until you exit the "Market".  

Remember stealth kill here. Eliminated the left side and the right side soldiers first before taking out the officer at the center. Do not kill the officer when he is still interrogating a civilian, only kill the officer after the civilian leave. Move forward a little after you kill the officer to see a new enemy will spawn in front of an enemy that already there on your radar. Move in for the kill after the spawned enemy starts walking away. Now you done and you can finally exit the "Market".
  

Backstab 5 soldiers near the elevator entrance


This apply to the 5 soldier near the the elevator entrance after the "Outpost"

It is recommend you do "stealth" on this objective and uses "Ghost" for the Van-Guard. Nothing will count for this objective even if you did backstab in this area if the alarm was rise.

There are only 5 soldiers in this area just like the objective asked. 2 soldier will not move, 2 soldier will be moving, and 1 soldier will only move when you (the player) just turn the corner. My advise is to kill all moving soldier first before the non-moving one.
   

Kill 20 enemies with the Vultur active


This is simple to do and can be finish at any time during the mission.    
      

Stealth into the Outpost

 

This apply only at the start of the mission until you reach the inside the "Outpost" structure.

Remember stealth kill here. If you move forward and shoot stealth kill everyone in the following order. soldier that trying kill a civilian, an officer, a soldier on the right, a soldier way in the back just standing, and finally the soldier on the left side.

You then move on to the next area which is the "outpost", you can switch weapon before you come here or not but before you zipline kill the sniper. You just need to enter the "Outpost" structure to complete the objective.
