Tips for the battle at Hill Station for Biff
Where does the battle take place? You will receive hints that a team was already assigned to monitor the area: it was the lower-tier mercenaries from M.E.R.C. with the notorious scaredy-cat and so-called giant Biff.
During the story, you will receive a distress call from Biff, who asks you to quickly come to the coordinates A8. Apparently, the Legion has been sent after him.
On your way there, you will encounter enemy troops that you should ideally take out quickly before they reach Biff. This will make your battle on the hill easier.
What should the team look like? It is advisable to have at least one, preferably two snipers in the team. They will find a good position on the pedestal in the middle of the zone to take out the incoming waves from a safe distance.
Spread the rest of your team so that some are positioned to watch the huts and others to keep an eye on the diner. These are the two directions from which the enemy waves will come.
This is how the battle unfolds: At first, you have time to position yourselves. The battle only begins when you move towards Biff. Once you start the fight, you should keep your mercs safe but remain vigilant. The enemies will bombard your team.
With strong snipers, you should be able to handle the first and second waves well. After that, the battle will get tougher. If you have already been in Pantagruel to befriend the communists, Chimurenga will now show up with a few fighters. They will fight in two additional waves. In our case, they took out Biff, and afterwards, we were able to loot a valuable diamond from him.
For the third wave, you need to gather your entire remaining team. Good positioning against the bombardments is still important to win the battle. As Altchar.com states, you can position the snipers on the pedestal to the far right and far left so they can escape the explosive attack on the shield. You don’t need to send them all the way down.
If you did not take out the enemy waves on the way to Biff as preparation for the battle, you will face a total of 5 waves in the fight.
Save Biff or not? After the third (or fifth) wave, you will have successfully survived the battle. Biff wants to leave the scene now, and you have the choice to let him go or shoot him now (if he has survived until then). If you shoot him, you can loot a diamond that you can sell for $50,000.
No negative effects from taking him out have been observed so far. So it’s not worth wasting all your mercs for Biff’s life.
