Cave Caches; how do you deal with them?

[Bringerof_D]

you either get in real quiet and take it out in one go or alternatively storm it from every possible entrance.

If you can be really stealthy and calm, that would be the best option. BUT you are screwed if you are seen. because for this to work you cannot shoot anyone or use any grenades, nothing that makes any sound (so dont fall down either. the only thing that should make any sound while you're in there is the exploding cache. I did it once and once only. if the cache is well defended it will be tough, however it is the least costly method and has a slightly higher chance of success than any other form of assault feasible within a game. Remember that you dont need to get right up to it or even see it, you just need to be able to land an incendiary within a meter or 2 of it

-clearing the surroundins first is a good idea..
-good cqb
-going from top to bottom

We tried taking the cache under hospital but its absolutly futile once there are more than 4 insurgents under there. Often they can just constantly spam nades out the door on a rotating shift, similar to how people used to do it with molotovs when blocking the door to the cache room.



We pulled out after about 4 minutes of smoke, grenades and SAW spam as it was just useless even trying. Cave caches (especially the ones where the only way in is going up with a grapple) are just stupid as there is no real tactics or strategy in taking them down or defending. The Insurgents/Taliban can just spam endless grenades off of it keeping the BLUFOR at bay.

First and most important thing to do is kill their supply/reinforcement route. Search around the cave for hideouts before entering. Enter though multiple entrance. Throw nades around corners even if you cannot see someone to make people camping bleed.

Even if you do manage to 'stave them out' they are pretty hard to get, it is worth searching for the other cache if you know one of them is in the cave - this makes the defenders (at least some of them) bored and walk out to the battle. Then you can move in.

2 things are important:

1) Block reinforcements - they get more guys in, your job will be impossible
2) Explosives. If this fails, use more explosives. If that fails, more explosives

In CQB in PR, unless you're quite good and your enemy is not, you won't be able to kill more than 1 enemy who is prepared for you. However, grenades are very hard to dodge, much more effective than a shotgun or file

[Haji with a Handgun]

Irons/reflex scopes, and LOADS of explosives.

I would also say shotgun, but it seems to be pretty much useless against someone spraying a PPsH or an AK 74u.

[Trooper909]

Lots and lots of smoke the enemy cant defend an entrance if thay cant see there hand infront of there face.

Id say flashbangs but wrong version

[Tarranauha200]

1.How to deal whit them? Trow grenades in and rush so many peoples in they dont have enoug time to kill everyone. (You will likely lose...)
2.Or you can send in skilled squad whit experience in CQB.
3.So much exblosions bf2.exe says memory error.

Some caches ARE impossible...very sad. Every cache cave needs 2 entrances and at least one without needing a ladder/rope.

Then again there are caches that spawn 50m away from the blufor main. (I really mean 50m) These caches should just be removed so that ins is less about luck on cache locations...

[Arnoldio]

Very complicated, might work.

Cut them off via destroying hideouts in area.

Get your team in and cave in all enterances but one, (requres 2 engies). Keep the opened enterance guarded with 3 men, rest moves in slowly and tries to get cache.

Its kinda risky, but might work.
