Alright, let's get this mission done. This one, M26, is all about tracking down a human trafficker. It sounds straightforward, but there's a bit of legwork involved if you want to do it efficiently. You'll be given a general area, but finding him can be a real pain if you don't know where to look.

Walkthrough

1
Pinpointing the Trafficker: You start with no idea where this guy is. He's just out there somewhere in the savannah, usually with a bodyguard nearby and other escorts spread out. Your best bet is to bring D-Dog; he's a huge help in spotting targets. However, the most efficient way to find him is to get an intel file. This intel is located at Ditadi Abandoned Village. Be warned, the village has a few guards: two near a tent with a prisoner, and three more by the intel file itself, which is next to another tent. Clear them out carefully. Once you grab the intel, the trafficker's destination and predicted route will appear on your map.

Hunting the Target: With the route marked, head to that area on your map. Keep your eyes peeled for any enemies moving around. If you spot two enemies close together, one of them is very likely your trafficker, with the other being his bodyguard. Use your binoculars to mark both of them. Now, carefully approach, making sure to avoid any other enemies in the vicinity. Your goal is to incapacitate both the trafficker and his bodyguard non-lethally (using tranquilizer shots or CQC) and then Fulton extract the trafficker. This completes the mandatory objective. Once he's extracted, you can exfiltrate the area to end the mission.

Optional Objectives:

Eliminate the trafficker before he reaches Kiziba Camp: This is a time-sensitive optional objective. If you've got the intel, you can often intercept him before he gets too far, especially if you move quickly.
Extract the trafficker and 5 escort soldiers: The trafficker has a small entourage. These soldiers are usually spread out. If you're heading to intercept him based on the intel, you can try to take out the stragglers first before you focus on the trafficker and his bodyguard. Fulton extracting them along with the trafficker will net you this objective.
Extract 4 prisoners at Ditadi Abandoned Village: While you're at Ditadi to get the intel, you might as well go for the prisoners. There are four of them, and they're usually found inside tents. It's a good idea to clear the outpost of enemies before you attempt to extract them. Note: The game mentions illness spreading at Mother Base, so consider if rescuing them is worth the risk at this point in the game.
Extract a side-striped jackal: This can be a bit tricky. You'll want D-Dog with you for this. The jackal is typically found west of Ditadi Abandoned Village and northwest of Guardpost #14. Keep an eye out for it in that general area.

Tips

Bring D-Dog. He's invaluable for spotting both the trafficker and the jackal.
Prioritize getting the intel from Ditadi Abandoned Village. It makes the entire hunt significantly easier.
Be mindful of the guards at Ditadi when you go for the intel and prisoners.
If you're going for the escort soldiers, try to pick them off from a distance before engaging the trafficker and his bodyguard.
Non-lethal takedowns are your friend here, especially for the trafficker and his bodyguard, as you need to extract the trafficker alive.
