I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but some members are on Contract. They cannot be fired or reassigned. Most can be manually checked off Contract status.

It should show a Lock, though, not a crossed box.

For instance, this guy.

His checkbox is crossed. He does not have a lock symbol, and he is not in the combat unit. I can't select him, and thus can't reassign or fire him, and I also can't use the "Direct Contract" option. He is also not in sickbay or in the brig.

I've progressed quite a bit in the game, but I'm still wondering about something in the prologue.

Spoiler

Was that Quiet who attacked Snake in the hospital room? It totally looked like her.

 

[Voidwolf]

Does anyone know how to unlock the

headpiece?

 

[Roussow]

One thing I could really use some help on:
Can I manage my teams in the Combat Unit for when they go on ops -- I've been constantly sending out 2 - 3 automated teams on missions, but I just don't understand the interface at all -- the peace walker one made sense to me immediately, but I just have no idea what's going on in the menus for this one specific part of the iDroid.

 

[.Anema]

Is it 'Extract the highly skilled soldier' side op?

Spoiler

Nope, if you know Quiet (by trailers and everything) you will notice immediately.
Just don't kill her.

 

[platypotamus]

Beat the prologue on ps4. Now it says installing game data do not turn off the system 203 seconds

But the seconds aren't counting down and it's been a few minutes. Borked?

 

[Stiler]

IS there a way to set the time the Phantom Cigar Passes?

Like to do missions at night, I used it when it was daytime and it passed it right through most of the night until it was almost the next morning...

 

[kris.]

Hanging out on Mother Base, jamming Rebel Yell while a chopper comes in overhead. This game is unbelievable.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Gotta wait till at least Friday to get this. I'd love to just go into a coma for three days but I'm afraid it may turn into nine years.

Is anyone else having an issue where you cant connect online?

 

[Stallion Dan]

question for Extract Wandering Mother Base soldier side op:

Spoiler

how?? I used up all my tranq ammo and it didn't seem to do anything, I can't punch him because he punches quicker and knocks me down and diving at him doesnt seem to do anything. I even shot at him in rage and that did nothing either. Did the mission bug out or am I missing something

Personally I use

Spoiler

D-Dog, just crawl up near them, then set him to attack them, while they are fighting run ( sprint) up and falcon punch the dude with your bionic arm equipped. Then grab him and choke or throw him as he gets up.

Maintenance right now.

 

[RDreamer]

What's up with the side ops that are checked off but white and not grayed out like other completed ones? Did I fuck something up on them?

Unequip the Phantom Cigar (you can just tap left on the D-pad, or hold left and select 'None') when you've reached the time you want.

You need a lot of hours on MB, so, enjoy the game.

Your questions will be answered, son.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

So what's the deal with the bass BWAAAAAH sound I hear at random while sneaking through the wilderness? I thought it meant an enemy was near, but that doesn't seem to be the case sometimes.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I keep playing 'The Man Who Sold The World' over and over again.

I'm pretending that Big Boss is having constant auditory hallucinations because that's the song that was playing as he woke up from the coma.

 

[Krejlooc]

The soundtrack in this game is incredible. Not just the licensed music, but the actual ost. My favorite mgs music has always been the style of metal gear 2 and mgs1 (psx) where it had a more synthy sound. Future mgs games, and the mgs tts remake, all took a more movie style approach to the soundtrack. Mgsv is like a merging of both styles and its so fucking cool. Best soundtrack for an mgs game since mgs3.

 

[alr1ght]

I just noticed the dog is missing an eye, just like Big Boss. Aww.

 

[antitrop]

In my excitement to play the game, I forgot to upload my Ground Zeroes save first. Can you still do it after you've started?

 

[SmartWaffles]

If my guess is correct, the PC save of TPP is actually, not in TPP's folder if you have Ground Zeroes!

If you have Ground Zeroes and have used the save upload function, your TPP save file should be in your GZ save folder, which is Steam\userdata\your steam number id\311340\remote, if you do not have GZ, try locate it in the TPP save folder, which should be Steam\userdata\your steam number id\287700.

 

[Northeastmonk]

One of the best times I've had with this is when

Spoiler

I was going after a vehicle, on horseback, while listening to songs on my idroid, knowing I couldn't destroy the thing with the weapons I had. Then I get to an edge off a cliff, music is blasting, and I look down. All I see are the vehicles parked in front of me and I start throwing grenades left and right. One vehicle gets destroyed by a bombardment and the second one I'm just chucking grenades one after another. It was like the feeling I had at the end of MGS1, but without the game coming to an end.

Yes.

 

[Unknown Fighter Type II]

Just got home...see UPS package on the chair. I'm going in GAF.....my body is finally ready.

 

[Grisby]

Game is just so fun to control. Had to extract out of a mission area and a sandstorm provided the cover I needed.

Nevah stop divin', nevah stop rollin'.

Is there a way to strengthen suppressors?

 

[cackhyena]

this doesnt feel like a metal gear game.

Nope. But the game part is ten times better than anything that came before it to me.

 

[DietRob]

Had the same issue, restart your console (if you're playing on one, not sure how it works with PC) and it will fix itself.

If you are on PS4, press the bottom left part of the touch pad to pause and skip cutscenes.

Thanks it ended up resolving itself. Now that I'm in the game it is great. It controls like a dream. I can't believe they got the controls feeling better than they did in GZ. And it looks incredible.

Current gen has now finally arrived with MGS. I felt the same way about last gen on PS3 when MGS 4 came out. Then Naughty Gods came in and blew the doors off ... I fully expect the same to happen again but I'll enjoy MGS until the Gods put out a game just like I did last go round.

Beat the prologue on ps4. Now it says installing game data do not turn off the system 203 seconds

But the seconds aren't counting down and it's been a few minutes. Borked?

Pst... look above. I had to delete the save a couple times, restart my machine, ect..
Make sure you upload your save to the cloud first tho..
It will kick through eventually.

 

[Alienous]

Is there a way to strengthen suppressors?

Yes. R&D can develop stronger ones.

 

[antitrop]

Yes.

Yay! Thank you.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Whew, just finished the prolouge, a little too long but I enjoyed it a little, can't wait to actually play the rest and actually be in control.

One thing though, coming fresh off GZ, does Ishmael sound exactly like Boss/Snake or is it just me?

time to install game date for 3000 seconds

 

[Soulflarz]

this doesnt feel like a metal gear game.

I'll give it that though

I'm in love. It's a great game. I don't love it for the same reasons I loved MGS3 or anything though.

 

[Greecian-]

Someone please help, I'm begging you.

I'm doing the

C2W

mission.

One of the side objectives is to

extract 2 prisoners being held at Wialo Village. I found one but can't find the other.

There are so many buildings and I keep losing track of where I've looked

 

[Stallion Dan]

I can't select some of my staff. Their checkbox is crossed. What does that mean? Are they busy doing something?

Possibly involved with a side op. Check to see if any staff got captured and do that side op.

 

[kris.]

Yes. R&D can develop stronger ones.

Thank god. Calling in supply drops ever 5 minutes is getting silly.

 

[.Anema]

The suppressor upgrades came with the weapon upgrades, so, with a better weapon sometimes you get a better suppressor.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Oh wow! Mission 9 is SO much fun!

Closed app and reopened. Save had me at the end of the prologue, got back to the same screen. Still no counting down. Even sounds like the disc stopped spinning. Am I paranoid or is this broken?

'Ask' an enemy soldier.

 

[Ruff]

Use your tranquilizer gun in first-person shooting mode.

Crouch walking and going maximum speed will make them hear you.

I figured it was something like that, But I can't adjust how fast I walk using a keyboard

 

[natertots]

Does anyone know how to make the number notifications for staff management go away? It's the number/symbol indicating something new. It's triggering my OCD. I can make them go away for everything else except for staff.


Thanks in advance. I am beginning to believe they just go away on their own, though.

 

[Blackstarhat]

Nope. But the game part is ten times better than anything that came before it to me.

I agree with that ive been playing it for 10 hours straight.

 

[Greecian-]

'Ask' an enemy soldier.

I tried that. It said map updated but nothing appeared. Is there a specific soldier I need to ask? Everyone is sort of dead now lol

 

[ShadowsFell]

Is there any way to be air dropped single items? I keep running low on supressors, and want to air drop those, but I'm forced to airdrop a replenishment of my entire lost out. Is that my only option?

 

[Palpable]

I'm severely disappointed that we cannot choose strut location on our Mother Base nor FOB's.

Is there any way to be air dropped single items? I keep running low on depressors, and want to air drop those, but I'm forced to airdrop a replenishment of my entire lost out. Is that my only option?

Yeah, a supply drop. That's all.

 

[JeffZero]

Literally nothing beats infiltrating enemy outposts while listening to classic 80s tunes. This is so unbelievably satisfying.

I love the way you think, yo.

Ditto.

 

[Alienous]

There's a particular set of Side Ops worth doing.

Spoiler

Rescue the Legendary Gunsmith

The reward is pretty cool for doing them. It isn't an item, but a whole feature.

Spoiler

Gun Customization, allowing you to take pieces of pretty much any gun of a particular type and combine them to make your own unique weapon.

It's easy to miss out on, so I'd say keep an eye out for it. It helps with the lack of non-lethal weapon variety, certainly.
