    the game is too hard

    I'm having a hard time playing this even on the easiest difficulty. I just can't give damage to the twins in that boss battle.. On FC5 the gameplay was easier in my opinion

    Easiest difficulty and can't give damage? You are waiting for cheating advice? Any advice - how to beat - is cheating. You should understand how and do it yourself! Try different tactics and weapons! Try yourself and your victory will be more valuable! Don't give up! (Advice - next time upgrade everything.)

    I'd say I'm probably a little more than halfway through the game, but I have all facilities maxed (but haven't bought any intel maps yet). I could tell as soon as I experienced the armor of level 3 enemies in the outposts that it's going to be one of those games you have to gear up for. I just started taking level 3 outposts last night. What makes it a lot easier is getting the best Bow and sniper rifle, more so the bow. I just sneak up within 20-30m and pop them in the waste between their armor or their butt. It produces 1200 damage and takes them out instantly. It's also very useful to have all the takedowns unlocked. Being able to takedown level 3 or elite enemies is a huge plus. It was quite a rush to get the level 3 island outpost undetected. I've only done 2 expeditions so far though, and just first level each. Higher level expeditions might be a bit tougher with the GPS broadcasting your location, especially if they throw in elite guards like outposts.

    There's actually two silenced Elite level sniper rifles. I chose the "Guerilla-Gear" MBP .50 over the Space Force due to a higher accuracy rating. The Sapce Force has about 8% higher RPM, but I don't see that as something that helps when you're talking a stealth sniper rifle.

    Do keep in mind if you get it you want to equip armor piercing rounds as terry said for any enemies with armor. Or, you can actually go for pelvis shots, because they have no armor there.

    BTW SCHLIRi, I just got the Elite MG42, the one they called the "Buzzsaw" in FC3 and 4. I'll let you know how effective it is, but I'm pretty sure it would be a good one for any boss fight. My fave weapon so far though is the Elite "Lucky Shot" Compound Bow. I took out the Monstrous Bison with it in 3 or 4 shots easily. Never even got charged as Timber was distracting him.

This helps a lot if taking out a guy at long range and just wound him with the first shot, you have to wait a second or two for the MBP-50 to reload to take a second shot but with the SA-50 you just pull the trigger again immediately, those few seconds can mean the difference between someone hearing the guys calls for help or not I have found. The semi-auto helps in lots of places as well, say taking down a shield guy running at you at longer range, the first shot is to the legs which makes him lower the shield and stumble a bit, you can immediately put a second round in the middle of his chest and wham, he's done.

    On the MG42, I found it sprayed bullets everywhere with lots of muzzle walk and the BP-2 with AP rounds was just as effective. But it's personal preference in the end and what you feel comfortable with.
    I guess you can look at it two ways, get one that's less accurate and risk you're target yelling if missed, or shoot them dead the first time. I'm pretty good with sniper rifles and I don't tend to push the distance beyond reliability. I also haven't even had to use AP rounds yet. I mean the trick is just aim for the pelvis like I said if they're armored. It's also a bigger target than the head by at least twice. I also look at stealth maybe differently than some do. I tend to actually enjoy it more if I have to stalk at least half of them to do takedowns or sure shots if their soft parts are concealed behind cover. That's what makes an otherwise good game great.

    The MG42 in FC3 and 4 was pretty accurate even at mid distances, but I got the one in this game mainly for close up combat when you're being rushed (waiting for the chopper on level 3 expeditions, etc). That's where the high fire rate and huge mag come in handy. It's like hold, aim, pull trigger, and say "Come at me you filthy animals!"

    This isn't a game to rush through; you have to be prepared for those last missions.

    What I recommend:
    - liberate each Outpost at least twice stealthily; that will get you enough ethanol to upgrade the key facilities to level 2 (Workbench, Training Camp, Infirmary, Expeditions)
    - get Horatio the Boar as a companion as fast as possible and get his 15-kills ability (self-revive)
    - play each Expedition at least twice; this will get you enough materials to craft a few high rank weapons; since Expeditions have infinite enemies, they are a good place to complete the weapon challenges and gain a lot of Perk points
    - complete the Treasure Hunts for more perk points and some crafting materials
    - craft the purple bow and whatever weapons you like from that rank (e.g. MS-16 rifle or the LMG)
    - important Perks to unlock: binoculars (to mark enemies in Outpost; no need to buy it if you have Timber as companion), crouch fast walk, takedowns, weapon slots, more medkits, more ammo; as for Eden Perks - double jump is mandatory, wrath is also good (especially if you can combine it with the melee damage perk)
    - once you are here, you can move to liberating rank 3 outposts; these give 300 base ethanol, so you don't need to worry about completing them stealthily (though you should destroy the alarms so that they don't call for reinforcements)
    - upgrade the important facilities to the final rank; also upgrade the Explosive Lab in order to be able to craft Armor Piercing ammo and some better explosive throwables
    - play some of the rank 3 Expeditions if you are low on materials
    - craft Elite weapons (Assault Rifle, LMG are mandatory; if you have extra materials, get a pistol and SMG or Grenade Launcher; if you have good aim, get a Sniper Rifle or Bow)
    - destroy the Twins and whatever challenge comes after them
