Can you do dispatch missions yet? I forget when that unlocks. The bottom lot of those missions reduce things like helmets.

My first female recruit have very bad stats like almost all E with just one D, but since female recruit is rare, everytime I dispatch a team, I sometimes look at the team and remove the female soldier since I fear her dying. At some point I kinda forgot to do this everytime and I just realized my female recruit had gotten medal and her stats are now all C. Pretty cool. I let her go out on mission now. Hopefully she's not gonna die. I also like her portrait pic.

When I started the game, I Fultoned everyone. Now I realize that I have too many soldiers w/ all E rankings in every category. Should I just boot out every one of these?

Definitely not, I did deal with all.
Others seem to have given me my answer, thanks though

Got an S++ legendary combat female for mission 30,
who was sadly permanently killed invading a FOB.
Personally I'd say upgrade your Base a lot first. E rank soldiers are better than empty spaces.
I've also been dumping all my E rank guys into the Security team as fodder.
Having completed the game now, I'm really glad the FOBs really were completely inessential to upgrading your motherbase and completing the game.
Is there an actual zoo in Motherbase you can visit?
yes there is.

How do I upgrade the base? Do I have to reach a certain mission? All I can develop right now are weapons, items, and buddy/helicopter.

Content should be exactly same. Just worse performance and image quality AFAIK.

I advise you that hold onto them. They'll get replaced by better soldiers and just end up in the waiting room anyway. I'm 100 hours in and have a staff shortage, despite fultoning everything.

Just saw the scene with Quiet
Everytime that theme plays, tears.
in the rain.
You can only fulton if you use non lethal though, if you've killed then you obviously won't be able to fulton
Oh, Yeah it'll show up under "Base Facilities" at some point.

I have her too..haha.
Only S+++ but I wonder how that plays into gameplay.

She looks bad ass. My female soldier looks like a rookie. Lol

How necessary would you guys say it is for me to play the old games before buying this one? I've never had much interest in the series before but I saw a friend play V last night and the gameplay looked so good.

Now I'm just embarrassed
Though when I did it first time I didn't have the vehicle Fulton so it was much tougher :/
An easy method is to stop the convoy with a vehicle once it has left the airport. Then crawl under the first armoured tank so you aren't detected by the skulls and launch sleeping gas strikes. Two should knock them all out. Then you can also Fulton the driver out too to complete the optional task.
just play v now man, live in the moment
you should check out 1-4 eventually though. those games are classic

Not much at all but at least try to play GZ and a small synopsis of Peace Walker for the cutscenes

Now that the servers seem to be working fine, I hate that there's no option to not have it auto sign in every time the game starts, and I really hate having to click through all those status notices every single time.

Thanks. I love everything about this game, but these menus are a mess.

Well the theme is amazingly well made, but it was completely wasted on Quiet since all the scenes with her are so stupid they're verging on parody imo. With 7 missions left to go and little change on that front I can't see much room to change that either. I actually wish we had a different buddy tbh, not even just because of the scenes but because she's so useless. I stopped bringing her on missions since she's never at the same outpost I'm at.
There's a mission which has you up against a convoy of tanks and armoured vehicles. Throw a decoy in the middle of the road, and then run up behind the vehicles and Fulton each of them in a row while they're distracted. Easy S rank.
Decoy is the super magazine.
You tell her what outpost to go to in the iDroid... She's not useless at all, at high affinity levels she can clear out entire bases without you doing a thing.

God damn. That's the strategy I thought I'd attempted on my initial runs of the mission so I've been reluctant to revisit, but I guess I didn't have the Fulton upgrade at the time. Looking forward to getting that mission out of the way for good.
Just thinking about this, any reason you can't sit in the back/on top of the truck and fulton yourself out of the AO?

Where's the Zoo Located on Motherbase ? 30 hours in and don't know where it is lol.
If there is anyone who has trouble finishing the legendary gunsmith side ops despite doing side ops 107 about legendary gunsmith (anyone who has trouble with it is probably halfway through the game by now) here's what you have to do:
In order to get the second legendary gunsmith mission which is side ops 108 you need to have finished side ops 143 and side ops 10 (Secure the UA-Drone Blueprint). If side ops 10 is not available for you then you need to do side ops 06 (Stun arm) first for it to appear.
If you finish side ops 108 but 109 doesn't show up then you need to have finished side ops 144 before doing 109.
These issues exist when there are multiple side ops in the same location, the game won't give you the other side ops unless you have finished the one the game gave to you that is set in that area.

That's how I did it. Never expected the S-Rank but it was a pleasant surprise.
If you can get on top of it and execute the fulton from the roof, you should be alright. Failing that, enter the vehicle the second after you fulton it.

Huh, did not know that. Her affinity is almost maxed for me but of course it relies on me being caught. My main disappointment was her inability to scout compared to how good at it DD is when maxed out.

Always want to figure missions out on my own, but this one is just really frustrating.
Thnx!
It won't work, you'll slip out of the truck.
It works for containers because you gt an option to grab the fulton cable, which you don't when you fulton trucks/tanks...kind of a silly limitation really.

Took me FOREVER to figure this out. Now I can put silencers on my high level machine guns/snipers
This had me stuck for ages. Get these side missions done ASAP people, silenced tranq sniper is so good.
iDroid, send her to scout a base. She'll automatically get into firing position after finishing. Enter the base and use Cover Me. She'll just fire away and distract them until they're all down.

Traitor's Caravan was a weird mission for me, took 18 minutes to complete, killed a bunch of people and the skulls and still managed to get an S rank.
Also the decoy is freaking amazing. Outpost full of 10+ guards all close together, used 2 of them to distract all the guards and just ran in and captured the commander and ran straight out.
