NOTE: THIS IS A DECISION MISSION. IF YOU SELECT THIS MISSION, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAY MISSION 21: ELIMINATE THE ENFORCEMENT SQUAD UNTIL NEW GAME+.
My main suggestion when it comes to a build for Mission 22: Destroy the Special Forces Craft is to have a quick AC since your main strategy is going to be getting in close to the CATAPHRACT in order to hit its weak point. Since you will be getting in close, I would also suggest using SG-027 ZIMMERMAN shotguns to do massive damage to both the target’s health and ACS meter as well as the PB-033M ASHMEAD Pile Bunker for when you need to do a lot of Direct Hit damage.
The CATAPHRACT is the only enemy in this mission and has a similar weakness to the Juggernaut boss fight seen back in Chapter 8: Operation Wallclimber since it has a heavy layer of armor surrounding just about every piece of its body. The only way to deal damage to the CATAPHRACT is to attack the MT core controlling the entire tank. This MT is found in the central chassis in between the trends at the front of the tank.
While quick-moving, the CATAPHRACT will come to a stop during certain attack volleys, so use this chance to get in close and attack the MT core. Shooting both of the ZIMMERMAN shotguns will quickly fill the tank’s ACS stagger meter. Once staggered, use your Pile Bunker and your Back Unit weapon of choice to deal a great amount of damage. The CATAPHRACT has a lot of health, so you will need to repeat this process of getting a clear shot at the MT and staggering it a few times before the massive weapon eventually falls.
Once you destroy the CATAPHRACT, Mission 22: Destroy the Special Forces Craft will be complete!
