Carriers of the Vine is a rather expansive compound with plenty of open spaces outside and tight corners in the central buildings. As such, players will want the most optimal loadoutfor an S Rank. The recommended loadout involves the Beanbag Shotgun for non-lethal takedowns, and a Riot Shield as the tactical equipment instead of something like a Mirrorgun, since the Riot Shield will act as a defensive shell to block all damage from behind. Ceramic plates with Light Armor covering just the Front is also a great idea, as it provides the best speed and mobility without sacrificing damage absorption. Carriers of the Vine is rather simple to complete, as most hostiles are easily intimidated, and the only real risk comes from neglecting to check corners and staying in open spaces.As for AI teammates, ensure that they are using VPL 25s for a non-lethal assault rifle, as that’s all they will need to be armed with to aid you, but aKicker officer traitmight also be useful, as there are plenty of locked doors here.
How to Bring Order to Chaos in Carriers of the Vine
There are around 13 suspects in Carriers of the Vine, equipped with a total of 17 evidence. This means that, like always, players should arrest a suspect and immediately pick up the weapons that they drop, which could be both a primary weapon and a sidearm, or one or the other. The best way to Bring Order to Chaos in Carriers of the Vine is by clearing a room at a time by first entering the main compound and then sweeping to the right. The main buildings will not be difficult, as the real challenge comes from the enemies outside. There can often be a suspect perched on top of a tower, so try and stick close to walls when moving across open areas to avoid getting shot from afar. Don’t forget that beyond the courtyard area is an abandoned church ,which can also be filled with enemies, so be sure to go here last as it’s a dead end beyond that building. To safely navigate the building, players will want to follow it around to the right to head upstairs and clear it from top to bottom.
How to Find Eve Nader in Carriers of the Vine
Eve Nader is an NPC with different clothing from the rest of the suspects and civilians, and unlike Elaine Raskin, she is unarmed. Eve Nader will usually be found in the living room of the main compound, which can be accessed immediately from the entry point where the officers spawn. Enter the main living room and then take a right through the corridor. This will lead players to a room filled with paintings, where Eve Nader usually waits. While she doesn’t have a gun, she will be hostile, so demand that she get down on her knees with commands and by aiming a gun at her.
How to Find Elaine Raskin in Carriers of the Vine
After heading through the living room compound, head out to the courtyard, where to the left will be a large tower. Be careful of this tower, as there is usually a suspect up top who will shoot to kill. Players should hug the left wall to find a gated door to open, where inside this tower’s central floor is filled with rooms. Players will find Elaine Raskin in one of these rooms, marked by a carpet and a few luxury chairs. Be careful, as Elaine Raskin has an assault rifle and won’t back down easily, so be prepared to enter the room withyour Beanbag Shotgunraised. This objective will fail if players do not arrest Elaine Raskin alive, so try to hold off on firing any lethal shots, and definitely do not aim for the head if she is refusing to comply.
Where to Find Conspiracy Evidence in Carriers of the Vine
The Conspiracy Evidence soft objective can be found in the same place every time, which is also usually the area where players will find Eve Nader. All players need to do to find the Conspiracy Evidence is to head from the yard’s spawn area, through the living room, and to the right. In this right corridor, players will find a room that leads to an open greenhouse filled with wooden boards that have piles of notes, newspaper clippings, and photographs of men and their crimes. Look at these wooden boards and interact with them for the Conspiracy Evidence soft objective. Like Elaine Raskin, this objective will fail if players are unable to arrest this specific suspect alive, so aim for the stomach or the legs with the Beanbag Shotgun to make her drop the gun she is carrying so that she can arrest her.
How to Rescue All Civilians in Carriers of the Vine
There are only 5 civilians in Carriers of the Vine, and each of them will be rather resistant when it comes to being arrested, since they are part of the cult. The problem with these civilians isn’t just their lack of compliance, but the fact that they wear the exact same outfits and masks as the armed suspects, so players might have to be a tad hesitant and observe these NPCs before shooting them, so that players do not accidentally get a reduction to points with an unauthorized use of force.
