Yes you have to extract (since that marks the end of the mission). No, you do not need to do anything else such as antivirals, craft a flare gun or even kill your hunter but of course SOMEONE has to craft the flare gun to call the extraction and kill the hunters before the chopper lands but it doesn't have to be you to succeed.
I don't PvP so I wasn't sure I was going to try to get this one but one night I was on very late (~3:30 am local time) so I thought why not try it. I only ever saw mention of one other player in-game, and I never saw them.
The one I am having trouble progressing much on is the Vulture one about looting other players. Partly because if they are still around I'll revive them, and partly because I generally play slower pace and they are usually looted by the time I get there. I have thought about going in with a couple of friends and just waste an evening re-running and dying. The waiting to load period would make this awful slow though.
Most GE's make Survival easier. Also, early on during a GE, many people are playing it instead of survival. So, while Outbreak is going on, just go on in middle of the night in the next day or two and within a run or two you should be able to get it.
When I follow that formula (late night, during GE) I often will run the entire survival, be first in DZ (which normally doesn't happen) and extract first on chopper. So, if there are other people, they are really slow since I generally go slow too.
Good luck ToxicFrag. you should be able to get it within a run or two.
GG on getting your commendation patch.Originally Posted by toxicFrag Go to original post
I only need to get the 'loot other players' one still. he quirkiness of the map has kept me from getting as many as I should. I have not understood at all why sometimes the player icon shows up on the ma immediately, other times not at all. Sometimes the spot shows up the whole time, even when I am clear across the map in the DZ. If it worked, you could set a marker on/beside them, I would have it already. I am just not mean enough to let someone downed die, at least if I have a med kit.
