Action stealth

Made with Far Cry's 4 map editor, the player's goal mission is to eliminate all the enemies without letting the alarm to be triggered.
Therefore, the player must complete this mission in a stealth way, avoiding being detected by the enemies and killing them silently.
Based on an "outpost" game mode, this mission centered on a stealth approach, forces the player to observe well his surroundings to understand how to use the environment at his advantage, as well as define clear action plans in order to take down the targets without letting a chance for them to detect his presence.
