Two questions...

- The dynamic weather. So far only sandstorms. Where's my rain? Or does it simply never rain in Afghanistan and only in the second location?

- The three character slots when customizing Boss. Can this be explained without any spoilers?

This has some really, really really awful checkpointing. Mission 16 spoilers -

I get checkpointed about half a second before the Skulls jump out of the truck..right next to the truck. So they jump out and are all around me, then the Puppet comes out of the driver's seat..which I am right next to. I can do nothing.

Never ever had it rain in Afghanistan. People were laughing at me for thinking it wouldn't rain there in a pre-release thread and sure enough...

Soooo..... that
infection
on Mother Base....?

Which soldiers should
I quarantine
?

I ended up putting everyone that spoke both English and Kikongo since that was the only common trait I saw in those that were auto-quarantined. I'm still losing soldiers though.

I might be stupid but I'm on some story missions that require missile launchers and I don't have one. How do I get one? Apparently I need a missile specialist or something?

Did that mission a couple of hours ago, easily the worst mission in the game thus far. I must've died at least 8 times. The game even asked me if I wanted to equip the Chicken Hat, lol.

I hate those enemies so much, every time I see the credits having
Guest starring: Parasite "Skulls" Unit
I roll my eyes.

Do I have to kill them or something? When I get in the truck they just blow it up.

- There is rain in Mother Base and in the second location. Haven't seen in Afghanistan.

- You can use soldiers you enlisted instead of Big Boss for missions. I guess you can level up their attributes? I dunno.

In some random mission. Three guys down a hill a few meters ahead of me. I throw a smoke grenade, but release it so that it lands a bit behind them by accident. Before it went off I shot one guy with a tranq. Smoke grenade lands and rolls down the hill to perfectly cover the three gents. The tranq' one goes to sleep in the smoke and I CQC the other two in the confusion of the smoke.

Felt like a man.

Two questions from guys. One: How to detonate C4. I was interrupted when it was being explained. Second: I extracted an interpreter but it said 'Side-op failed'. Why?

1. L2 and Triangle
2. Extraction target might have been badly injured or weather reasons?

Have the C4 out, press the Action Button.

You probably needed to have the Interpreter approach the actual Target.

All you need to do is
Fulton the truck, and get the fuck out of there. You can battle the Skulls, but depending on where you stopped [or where the checkpoint spawned you] you might be extremely outnumbered.

I just equipped the Battle Dress beforehand, ran in, Fultoned the truck and D-Horsed outta there. Don't escape in a jeep, the Skulls will destroy it.

1. Switch to c4 then hit aim and Y

2. Maybe he died? I think at that point you have a 90% fail chance on fultoning?

Equip a box, stand up, start sprinting, and press whichever button you use to dive. Now do this down a hill. SAND SLEDDING. THIS GAME HAS EVERYTHING.

So when we board our helicopters in Mother Base, we can press X to go to a different part of the base. Is there any way to do that out in the field proper fast travel via the helicopter so we don't have to go back to base? Figured I might as well ask as it seems easier than the cardboard box method.

Still can't pet DD as a pup :(

Anyway, finally getting to work on expanding Mother Base. Support base got built and main expansion should be complete in a few minutes. Hoping to get R&D to Level 9 so I can have more fulton balloons equipped (especially now that I can fulton gun emplacements and mortars).

Up to Mission 7 but haven't tried it yet. Mission 6 intro got me hyped and the end of it was pretty cool

Oh cool, havent had rain in Mother Base yet, maybe i need to spend more time there, but there is little to do there for me.

So you play as these other soldiers instead of Boss? that's interesting but hey...Boss needs a break too.

I Just saw some amazing enemy behavior.

I was seen and had to shoot two guys. Then, I ran into a tunnel on the side of the building and crawled around behind. When I got behind them, I saw one of the soldiers shoot a friendly that ran around the corner where I came from. Then they guy who got shot yelled 'Cease Fire!'

Maybe that doesn't sound like much but they panicked and got confused and it felt extremely real.

About the whole medbay thing

How do I know when I have a new photo to show her? Should I just come back after every story mission or what?

edit: Thanks ^^ vvvv

What am I collecting mortars and mechine guns for? It is simply to sell for GMP later? I see some stationed about mother base but that's it.

Trust no one. Eat steaks.
It's very hard trying to juggle work this game with work.and family life. Only managed to complete 3 missions over 3 days.

*edit*
Love playing this on the Vita too. So awesome this feature.

Been having a strange issue since launch, Xbox o e. Occasionally, perhaps 1 to 2 times in an hour of play, the game randomly bogs down. Frame rate chugs, sounds glitch, and worst of all, controller inputs seem to get stuck once this bug occurs. So, for example, if it happens as I'm sneaking up on someone, snake keeps walking forward while the game chugs along for a few seconds, which has caused me to collide with enemies I'm trying to grab.

Is this a known issue? Anyone else affected? Any fixes now or planned? I'll try to remember to record a clip next time it happens if no one else has seen it.

I just checked the last 12 pages for "sound bug". Nothing.

What sound bug?
Click to expand...
The game seems to only be playing in stereo for me through my reciever, no matter what I change. It is jusst the 2 channels, mixed to each speaker on it's side with no center channel activity at all. PC version.

I wish I could set some kind of C4 fulton. Sometimes I don't want to alert the entire facility with a giant container crate floating into the sky, but I don't want to have to come back to this area to balloon a mans after I've slammed everybody into the concrete

So are resources like diamonds just lost if you reload from a checkpoint before hitting another checkpoint and get the message that the it reached motherbase? I was out collecting diamonds, managed to get about 300k worth and fell off a cliff. I couldn't find those diamonds again and it wasn't added to my total either.

I got the exact same issue man. The sound stutter reminds me of how that was in Witcher 3, but it's much worse here because it fucks with the controller inputs as you said. It seems to happen a few times in a row and then goes away and at times comes back. It really needs to be patched. The odd thing is, all my friends have the Xbox One version as well, and some of them just don't encounter this issue, and some of them do.

Digital version.
