Quick Answer: How Do You Complete And Your Enemies Closer?
The safest way to complete And Your Enemies Closer is to treat it as a stealth and surveillance mission, not a normal outpost assault.
The basic route is:
- Scout the cultist outpost from outside the jammer's effective area.
- Locate the drone jammer near the large antenna.
- Keep your AI teammates outside the base.
- Sneak around to the rear of the outpost.
- Disable the drone jammer.
- Find a concealed position.
- Deploy your drone.
- Locate the Cultist Lieutenant on the second-floor balcony.
- Record his prayer.
- Stay hidden until the recording is complete.
The critical point is not alerting the Cultist Lieutenant. Current mission coverage describes the objective as a stealth eavesdropping operation and warns that alerting the lieutenant can fail the mission and force a restart.
The mission can therefore be reduced to:
Scout → Disable jammer → Hide → Launch drone → Record prayer → Stay concealed

Why Is And Your Enemies Closer So Easy to Fail?
The biggest mistake is approaching this mission like a conventional Ghost Recon Wildlands outpost.
Normally, you can scout a base, eliminate enemies, call in support and gradually take control of the area.
And Your Enemies Closer is different.
Your objective is to gather information from a Cultist Lieutenant without alerting him.
A loud assault can therefore make the mission harder rather than easier.
The Golden Rule
Don't clear the base just because you can. Your priority is the jammer, the drone and the recording.
Current coverage specifically warns that if the lieutenant is alerted, the mission fails.
That makes controlled infiltration much safer than trying to eliminate every cultist.
Where Is the Drone Jammer?
The drone jammer is located toward the rear of the cultist outpost, near the foot of the large antenna.
The antenna is therefore your most useful visual landmark.
Look for:
- The large antenna
- The jammer equipment near its base
- Enemy patrols around the rear of the outpost
- Routes that let you approach without crossing the main compound
The important thing is to identify the jammer before committing to the infiltration.
Why Does the Jammer Matter?
The jammer restricts your drone reconnaissance around the outpost.
Since the mission ultimately requires you to use the drone to observe the Cultist Lieutenant, restoring drone access is your first major priority.
Think of the objective as:
Reach the jammer → Restore drone access → Gather intelligence
How to Disable the Drone Jammer
Once you've identified the jammer, approach it carefully and interact with it to disable it.
Don't rush directly across the compound.
Instead:
Scout → Find a safe route → Reach the rear → Disable the jammer
Once the jammer is disabled, you can prepare for the actual surveillance objective.
Keep Your AI Teammates Outside
For the safest approach, order your AI teammates to Hold Position before entering the outpost.
This prevents them from unnecessarily crossing enemy sightlines while Nomad is trying to remain concealed.
Recommended Setup
AI teammates: Hold Position
Nomad: Infiltrate alone
Priority: Disable jammer
Combat: Only when necessary
You don't need your squad inside the base to complete the surveillance objective.
Alternative: Disable the Jammer's Generator
There is also an alternative way to deal with the drone jammer.
Current walkthrough coverage identifies a generator on the southeast side of the outpost that can be disabled to shut down the jammer.
This gives you another option if reaching the jammer itself is awkward.
Two Ways to Restore Drone Access
Method 1 — Direct
Approach the jammer near the large antenna and disable it.
Method 2 — Generator
Reach the generator on the southeast side of the outpost and disable it.
The direct jammer interaction is the easiest method to explain, but knowing about the generator is useful if the normal route is blocked by patrols.
How to Infiltrate the Outpost Safely
Once you've identified your route, move around the perimeter instead of walking through the center of the compound.
Watch for Bear Traps
Bear traps are another hazard around the outpost.
They can damage Nomad and disrupt an otherwise clean stealth approach.
So:
Slow down near the perimeter and watch where you step.
Don't sprint blindly toward the jammer.
Use Sync Shot Carefully
Sync Shot can help remove individual enemies who directly threaten your route.
But don't turn the mission into a full base-clearing operation.
The better rule is:
Clear the route, not the entire compound.
Your goal is intelligence gathering, not domination of the outpost.
How to Record the Cultist Lieutenant
Once the jammer has been disabled, find a concealed position before deploying the drone.
A safe approach is to remain hidden near the jammer and use the drone from there.
Then:
- Deploy the drone.
- Fly toward the objective.
- Locate the Cultist Lieutenant.
- Position the drone carefully.
- Begin recording.
- Remain concealed.
- Wait for the prayer/monologue to finish.
The Cultist Lieutenant is positioned on the second-floor balcony of the large building inside the outpost.
Don't Approach the Lieutenant With Nomad
This is a surveillance objective.
You aren't supposed to walk directly up to the lieutenant and listen manually.
The drone is the important tool that allows you to gather the required information without exposing Nomad.
What Should You Do During the Recording?
Once the drone is in position, don't get impatient.
Keep Nomad concealed and let the lieutenant finish his prayer.
Avoid:
- Firing your weapon
- Moving into exposed areas
- Deliberately alerting nearby enemies
- Approaching the lieutenant
- Starting an unnecessary firefight
- Moving the drone into an unsafe position
The objective is to record the conversation, not interfere with it.
If the recording has started, patience is your best weapon.
What Happens If the Lieutenant Spots You?
This is the mission's most important failure condition.
If the Cultist Lieutenant becomes alerted, the objective can fail and you may have to restart the sequence.
If You Fail
Don't simply repeat the same approach.
Instead:
- Keep AI teammates outside.
- Scout the outpost first.
- Approach from the perimeter.
- Avoid unnecessary kills.
- Watch for bear traps.
- Disable the jammer.
- Find cover.
- Launch the drone from a concealed position.
- Keep Nomad hidden.
- Wait for the prayer to finish.
The key is controlling where the enemies can see you.
What Does the Cultist Prayer Reveal?
The prayer is more than a simple gameplay objective.
It provides another clue in Nomad's investigation into La Llorona.
Current mission coverage describes the objective as gathering information about La Llorona and how she operates in Villa Verde.
The prayer therefore fits into the wider investigation.
Think of the progression as:
Vargas evidence
↓
Evidence of the cult's violence
↓
Cultist surveillance
↓
Prayer recording
↓
New information about La Llorona
↓
Further investigation
The Vargas bodycam and the cultist prayer serve different purposes.
The Vargas evidence helps establish what happened to Vargas.
The prayer gives Nomad another clue about the cult and La Llorona.
What the Mission Establishes
The mission gives you several direct pieces of information:
- Nomad infiltrates a Los Penitentes outpost.
- A drone jammer restricts drone reconnaissance.
- The jammer is associated with the large antenna area.
- The Cultist Lieutenant is the surveillance target.
- The lieutenant is located on a second-floor balcony.
- Nomad must use the drone to record his prayer.
- Alerting the lieutenant can fail the mission.
- The recording provides information connected to La Llorona.
- The investigation continues after this mission.
The important distinction is between what the mission directly shows and what the wider story eventually reveals.
The prayer is another investigative clue. It should not be treated as a complete explanation of La Llorona or the entire Last Rites storyline.
Why This Mission Feels Different From a Normal Wildlands Outpost
A traditional Ghost Recon Wildlands objective often gives you considerable freedom to choose between stealth, coordinated assault and direct combat.
And Your Enemies Closer changes that formula.
Here, information gathering is the actual objective.
You need to:
- Infiltrate
- Disable equipment
- Restore drone access
- Observe the target
- Avoid detection
- Record the information
- Continue the investigation
That makes the mission feel more like an intelligence operation than a conventional outpost assault.
Current coverage similarly describes it as a stealth mission centered on eavesdropping on a Los Penitentes officer with the drone.
Best Route for And Your Enemies Closer
If you only want the safest route, use this:
Approach the Villa Verde outpost
↓
Stop and scout
↓
Find the large antenna
↓
Locate the jammer
↓
Order AI teammates to Hold Position
↓
Move around the rear
↓
Avoid traps and unnecessary patrols
↓
Disable the jammer
↓
Hide in cover
↓
Deploy the drone
↓
Locate the second-floor balcony
↓
Find the Cultist Lieutenant
↓
Record the prayer
↓
Stay concealed until the recording finishes
↓
Complete the mission
This route focuses on the actual failure condition rather than wasting time clearing enemies that don't need to be cleared.
Do You Need to Kill Everyone at the Outpost?
No.
This is one of the most important things to understand.
The objective is to gather intelligence, not completely clear the compound.
You can therefore focus on:
Jammer → Drone → Lieutenant → Recording
If a particular enemy blocks your route, use a stealth kill or Sync Shot if necessary.
But there is little reason to turn the entire outpost into a firefight.
Should You Bring AI Teammates Into the Base?
For the safest approach, no.
Order them to Hold Position outside.
The goal is to prevent unnecessary movement and reduce the chance that an AI teammate crosses an enemy sightline while Nomad is infiltrating the outpost.
Best Setup
- Nomad: Infiltrate
- AI teammates: Hold Position
- Drone: Surveillance
- Sync Shot: Remove only necessary threats
This keeps the operation predictable.
5 Mistakes That Can Ruin the Mission
❌ 1. Going in Guns Blazing
The mission has a strict stealth failure condition around the Cultist Lieutenant.
A firefight can cause the objective to fail.
❌ 2. Sending AI Teammates Into the Compound
They can create additional sightline problems during the infiltration.
❌ 3. Ignoring the Drone Jammer
The drone is required for the surveillance objective.
Restore drone access before attempting to record the lieutenant.
❌ 4. Running Through the Perimeter
Bear traps and enemy patrols can disrupt your approach.
Slow down and watch your route.
❌ 5. Leaving Before the Recording Finishes
Reaching the balcony with the drone isn't the end of the objective.
Wait until the prayer/monologue has been recorded.
Best Loadout for And Your Enemies Closer
You don't need a specialized combat build.
The mission rewards stealth and positioning more than raw firepower.
Useful Tools
- 🛰️ Drone — essential for surveillance
- 🔭 Binoculars — useful for initial scouting
- 🔇 Suppressed weapon — helpful for isolated threats
- 🎯 Sync Shot — useful for selected enemies
- 🥷 Stealth approach — the most important part
The Most Important "Weapon"
Positioning.
If enemies can't see Nomad, they can't alert the lieutenant.
What Happens After And Your Enemies Closer?
After completing And Your Enemies Closer, the Last Rites investigation does not immediately force you into a single next mission.
After Deadly Obsession, the game opens two investigation missions:
- And Your Enemies Closer
- Vow of Silence
Both must be completed before the story advances to the next stage.
So if you've completed And Your Enemies Closer first, your next priority is:
Complete Vow of Silence.
After both investigation missions are finished, the story moves toward With Extreme Prejudice.
This distinction is useful because Vow of Silence isn't necessarily a forced "next mission" in a strict linear order. The two missions are available at the same stage of the investigation.

Final Thoughts
And Your Enemies Closer becomes much easier once you stop treating it like a normal Ghost Recon Wildlands assault.
The safest approach is:
Scout the outpost → Keep your teammates outside → Reach the rear → Disable the jammer → Find cover → Launch the drone → Locate the second-floor balcony → Record the prayer → Stay hidden until it finishes.
The most important thing to remember is the mission's failure condition:
Don't alert the Cultist Lieutenant.
You don't need to dominate the entire outpost.
You need to restore drone access, gather the intelligence and keep the lieutenant from becoming alerted.
The prayer also gives Nomad another clue about La Llorona, making the mission an important step in the investigation into Los Penitentes.
And if you're wondering what to do afterward, remember that Vow of Silence is the other investigation mission unlocked at this stage. Both missions must be completed before the story moves forward.
If you're struggling with this mission, prioritize:
Stealth over firepower.
The jammer over unnecessary kills.
The recording over clearing the base.
