In this scenario you may still be able to finesse the mission if the evac zone is near the target. Unfortunately, this will not be possible if the VIP is in a command center, as is often the case. Your shinobi will need to play spotter, and the rest of your team should sneak to a position somewhere between the VIP and the evac zone, so that you can dash away after the deed is done. Either a Sharpshooter, or a Technical firing a rocket (to explode the vehicle) can make this happen. This is possible when the VIP is out in the open, usually standing by a car surrounded by an entourage. This means executing the VIP from range, then dashing. Because of the additional enemies and sped up RNF timer the key to winning Lib 3 is to Finesse the objective. Besides adding combatants, the presence of hidden Faceless makes it much harder to navigate the map once you break concealment They can easily expose your Shinobi when they run at your squad. I’ve seen 9 Faceless on this mission, and that is in addition to the regular troop strength. The big difficulty with Lib 3 is that on one of the mission types (Neutralize VIP) every civilian on the map has a high chance to be a Faceless. You must move fast, push the fight, and perhaps commit to just killing the VIP, then running to the evac. In the Neutralize VIP variant the RNF timer begins immediately, and so you will not have much time before it starts raining Advent.


For the Destroy Relay variant you will definitely want to sneak all the way to the objective before going loud. Lib 3 has +2 Advent Strength so the RNF timer is shorter. Even with 7 soldiers, this can be a tough mission. Often Advent vigilance will be high, and enemy strength will be Light or Light Moderate. With this much time it is a good idea to send 7 of your best soldiers. In practice this means you will always have 8+ days to infiltrate Lib 3 no matter how much intel you generate. Fortunately there is a bug that works in your favor! Lib 3 will be immediately detected on respawn after you detect it for the first time. To make it easier you will want to wait until it is found with lot’s of time to infiltrate. This can be one of the hardest missions in the campaign. Enemies may be harder, and the RNF timer will be shorter. For example if Advent Strength in this region is 4, Lib 2 will be treated as though it were 5. In a tactical sense, there is really only one difference for Lib 2 compared to a normal Rescue/Extract VIP mission Lib 2 will have +1 Advent Strength. Choose whether or not to run extra missions in that region accordingly. This will make it harder to complete both Lib 2 and Lib 3. Running lot’s of missions in a region in a short period of time will increase Advent Vigilance, and with it Advent Strength in that region.

Region Vigilance is hidden unless you install certain mods, which you probably should, because its an important but opaque mechanic, especially for beginners to LW2/LWOTC. And if you pursue many of them, this can present a different problem spiking Advent Vigilance. With all this scanning for Lib 2 you will usually end up finding many other missions in the region. Just keep trying to find it with everyone in the haven on intel. Allow the mission to expire, and it will immediately respawn. If the mission appears with 3 or less days, don’t try to stealth it. And to boost it you will need some Intel (30 at Legend difficulty). And scan with the Avenger as well, if you can. To make this happen, you will need to put all your personnel on Intel, even if you have 13 guys in your haven.

Your goal should be to get enough time (5+ days), that with an Intel boost you can send a full team. The second mission is much harder to stealth, and so you will want more time to infiltrate a full team.
