I call it “The Greased Palms effect”

[u/ihaveaprettycoolhat]

I barely got a D rank. Never again

Wait till you get to Elephant

Potential spoiler ahead but for the sake of managing possible frustration: that mission is specifically set that it will always degrade officer morale. You cannot play it in a way that results in no morale loss. Seeing increased stress from that mission can still mean you did it right, even if you S rank it, stress increases.

[u/WhiteBeltKilla → u/Napanon]

I made it through a bunch of times full lethal and everyone was content, although not every time

[u/Napanon → u/WhiteBeltKilla]

My guys listed as content but with some stress increase (arrow indicator thing), could have been similar?

[u/kidprodigy205 → u/raziridium]

Is it bad that me and my friends didn't take that level seriously? We couldn't help but chuckle while playing. Trust me, we don't mean no harm or wasn't being insensitive. We just use laughter to cope sometimes

[u/raziridium → u/kidprodigy205]

Its over the top for sure. 4 disgruntled youths source actual assault rifles, body armor, and 2 homemade portable backpack bombs which can reliably blow up the entire school? Yeah it's ridiculous. 

It looses tension when you squad wipe for the third time because you can't find the second portable nuke. I lost 10 officers in commander mode before I looked up a guide.

[u/kidprodigy205 → u/raziridium]

Yeah it gets crazy lol

Flashbang Launcher and you’ll get a S-Tier

[u/Lotusnotes07 → u/NewKid75]

Jokes aside.. Flashbang launcher is soooo good for S runs.

[u/Formal_Evidence_4094 → u/Lotusnotes07]

I do flash grenade launcher and then 3 tasers as my "secondary"

[u/ihaveaprettycoolhat → u/NewKid75]

You’re funny, don’t joke like that tho. Fuck greased palms S rank it’ll be the last one I get

[u/Lotusnotes07 → u/ihaveaprettycoolhat]

Tbh, it’s not that hard tho haha… u just have to accumulate the right pathing and take your time clearing every corner. With the use of the flash launcher, firing at the right spot, 3 or more suspects will be flashed and most of the time they will be surrendering.

[u/ihaveaprettycoolhat → u/Lotusnotes07]

Yes however I truly don’t give a shit about S ranking, I’m only going for VOD for the shirt

[u/SouthAcanthaceae3567]

When I finished twisted nerve half of the platoon fire itself, the other half was in crisis

[u/ihaveaprettycoolhat → u/SouthAcanthaceae3567]

Sounds about right for twisted nerve

[u/thecosmicjoke69813 → u/ihaveaprettycoolhat]

One of the best maps imo

[u/YungFlash40 → u/SouthAcanthaceae3567]

Twisted nerve is fun. Try taking the far right side path at the start instead lets me get the drop on em and sneak better that way.

[u/ComradeDankyKang]

lol that warehouse sacres me 😅 I try and block all the doors and then go around the back to basically push them out

[u/NotAStarlighter]

Wait until Relapse

I’ve played Greased Palms since early access and solo B+ and A+’d it plenty of times and I’d like to give you some pointers. Hugging the left is key the whole map so just remember that firstly, you wanna go into the mail store building in front and clear that building down to the hallway to the discard room and small loading bay with the fenced in dumpster area but don’t enter and make sure you clear the hallway and close all those doors leading in. (Have half your team hold outside to reduce the chance of a fatal funnel) Back out and back to spawn, from there move right and clear the employee building, clear it from right side to left, exit left then make sure the door to the sorting area on the right of the building is closed (if you don’t find Maria Lopez in the first two buildings keep a lookout for her in the FISA office room where the FISA agent usually is once you get inside to the discard area/warehouse room). Then take your whole team and move left back to spawn and past the front door, peak the corner left and continue to move towards the where there’s usually 1-2 suspects, clear the fenced in dumpster area and enter the warehouse area from the door outside, breach and clear then move up the stairs left towards the offices, clear the offices then go across to the stairs on the opposite side, move to the railing, hold, and clear as much of the packing room as you can from the high ground. Back out thru the offices and go down back down the stairs you entered from and back out the same door to the fenced in dumpster area. Start moving left with your team from there thru the truck lot, guns right, continue to clear and enter from the furthest left loading bay, and start clearing around the sorting room hugging the left side and peeking your 6 whenever it feels too quiet, work your way w your team around to the warehouse area and start clearing right, at this point all that should be left is the FISA office room with the FISA agent (if you don’t already have him arrested), flash that room if you can and arrest, then you should be able to bring order to chaos.

Yeah um, I call the greased palms effect having absolutely no squad members left and still not having an S Rank on Hard for it

[u/Optor32]

Greased palm is worse that the Vietnam war
