Yeah, this was the really hard mission I mentioned earlier in the thread. I just S-ranked it today with some experimentation. Here is a general way to do it:
Use CIWS!! Keep your distance, avoid the missiles, and proceed carefully. (Should probably use a gat/battle rifle or something to take out targets.) Make good use of scan mode, recons, and the enemy counter at the bottom-right to make sure you don't overlook any enemies. Try to take out all the other enemies and turrets before engaging the Scavenger.
When fighting the Scavenger, I recommend switching to a laser rifle and just spamming it on him rapid-fire without charging. He'll go down relatively quickly. Just don't stand still, and don't sit in front of it. Expect it to HB to the sides and use cover.
Outside of those strategies, it's just practice and skill.
When trying to get the 'charge master' subquest on the last boss, I dropped all my weapons when he was at critical AP. I missed a few kicks and on the last one, I obviously was going to come up too short, but then he did his blade charge and rammed his head into my foot, killing him, and taking out half my AP. It was hilarious.
Mobius, here are the matches where you hid underground and came out at the last second to kill us:

Our territories are losing AP, but I can't get anybody to attack, let alone some people to help me defend.
I had a fucking awesome time in Free battle today. I didn't get to record them unfortunately, and I likely won't be able to until I get a new wireless router that won't disconnect every 2min. Here are some highlights:
-People have no idea how to counter tanks. Not even tank players. In one match, there was a tank charging my team, so I went around a building and flanked it. After hitting it from behind for a bit, it turned around and we damage-raced--I won. That tends to happen when I can hit you with 12 VTF missiles simultaneously.
-Destoyed a bunch of people with my shotty/pulse gun ACs.
-In a couple of 2 on 2 matches, my opponent and I kept destroying each other simultaneously. It happened several times in different matches.
-Won about 85% of team matches. I usually ended up with the most damage, but usually with more kills. One team I was on did extremely well. We never even had anyone shot down even once. Unfortunately, I lost contact with them when my ps3 exited the game suddenly on its own.
You know, Free battle is a good way to get in contact with other teams, especially if you can get a hold of teamleaders. If you can friend them on psn, we can have an easier time arranging Invasion/Defense missions with other teams. Get on it!
