    Enemy Outpost reset???

    I rushed through the early stages , took the outposts quickly.
    Is there any way of resetting the outposts so I can get the no alarms/no detection to progress my skills?
    I tried redoing them with the outpost master, but that didn't help advance the skills even with success.
    I have more outposts to capture but they are at the harder levels and the AI is really aggressive and detects things it really shouldn't.

    Not aware of anyway to revert the previously captured outposts while you remain in the play through (i.e., haven't finished the game yet) - in order to advance your skills.

    However, there are multiple ways to advance your skills in this game besides capturing outposts. Since there are remaining outposts to capture, there are royal cargo trucks roaming the landscape for example. Start napping them and drive to a close-by captured o/p. Great chunk of XP for doing so.

    Thanks, but the issue is that I have to capture 2 undetected/no alarms to unlock a tiger skill. All I have left are the harder outposts and they are virtually impossible because of overly aggressive AI and how easily they can detect you. So yes, I know I can get lots of skill points doing other things but you can't unlock them without doing specific things/missions.
    I was hoping that the reset outpost option would work, but I have to finish the game 1st.

    My friend finished the Campaign and Reset the Outposts (option in the Main menu I believe) but he does not believe it will reset the skills options as well. Good question though.

    I am witcha though, some outposts are a breeze to take while others, no matter what you try, someone out there is alerted to your presence... its like they can see you through walls. I killed a guy on a roof and a Heavy walking away from where we were started to yell that there was a dead man in the camp

    It would have helped if the needed specific skill point had been mentioned ...

    For those remaining outposts, I suggest a break from the campaign and do some serious studying of what it might take to get two with no alarms. If looking for pointers, take a look on youtube.

    Make it a personal challenge. Similar to a personal challenge of how perhaps to do a specific mission by only stealth, etc, etc.

    If your normal game play is "run and gun", then you'll have to switch IMHO for what you wish to accomplish related to the specific skill point.

    Good luck, and happy gaming.

    Outpost Master will not give you the achievement. Resetting after the game will not get it for you either. If you've north outposts left try this. Use the Z-93 sniper rifle, silenced and stay as far out as possible. You don't have to stay in one place. AI's might know something is going on, but if you're not detected, they will move on. Take out the alarms first. IF you are detected, go get killed. Game will reset with you outside the outpost and you get another chance for the achievement. Worked for me. Good Luck, man.

    Thanks, it appears to be my only option now.

    I second this. I took out a few outposts completely undetected this way. What I do though is go to HIGH ground. I keep FAR away, crouched, under cover as much as possible. I use the upgraded hunting syringe that makes animals ignore me (one time I was heard from 90m away, shooting wolves with a silenced SMG, and it totally blew my cover and surprise).

    Before I fire a shot, I move around, use my camera and hunting syringes to find out where everybody is, I plan out the best locations for shots and whether or not I can take out the alarms. If I'm far enough back, they don't seem to bother with alarms. It's all "Where did that shot come from?"

    Thanks, got it done--the Z-93 was the real key.
