Can't beat mission 16 -
Damn Skulls are total damage sponges and they wear me down. I can't steal the truck and drive away in time, I can't hit them when I jump into a tank, Quiet can't do proper damage to them, and I just wander around trying to hit them with a single Launcher, which doesn't do much damage anyway. so frustrating.

Here's a tip
Use an airstrike
but even afterwards, I was still left who took all of my bullets and rockets
 
They really put the bulk of the story stuff in chapter two lol. (Also it took ocelot laboriously going through the plot for me to understand what actually happened in chapter one, lol)

Not all of it though. Still a lot of stuff that makes no sense yet, haha

I didn't even fight them. I just backed off a bit, and they slowly amble toward your position so all I had to do was wait. Then I just made a wide arc around and Fulton'd the transport.

I actually want to try fighting them because it sounds like fun but I really have no lethal weapons researched.
 
I think it's funny that I can Fulton a guard and they're instantly on board with my private army. But it takes a few minutes to send a carrot to mother base and process it.

You need new tires, mate. Those might be half your problem.
 
I'm glad I managed to S rank mission 16 on my second go (one manual restart) by
riding to the airport immediately after collecting the first intel, run up to the truck and Fulton it while the Skulls were right next to it, and then ride away outside of the closes hot zone border while they're chasing me.
Intense!
 
Question! I have quite a bit of Medicinal Plants in the game, and I'm not really sure what to do with them, they just have been stockpiling in my inventory. Is there something in the menu's I'm supposed to do with them, or should I just sell them?
 
Mupod said:
You can use anything really - jeep in the road, sleeping enemy soldier, smoke grenades, decoys. Once they stop, detonate all the C4 and then do what you need to do with the transport.

You probably won't get the spacing down the first try, but if you force the convoy to stop once or twice and just observe how far apart they are it's not that hard. Especially with upgraded C4. I can Fulton tanks now but this is so much cooler dammit.

Here's my approach. It's pretty easy, works nearly every time, and feels pretty great:

If you plant four C4 charges on the road and detonate them under the last tank escort (destroying it), you can hitch a ride on the back of the transport vehicle and stare the leading tank directly in the face as you obliterate it with a rocket launcher (this is the best part). Then you can shoot the driver through the rear windshield and capture the colonel as he exits the vehicle wondering what the hell just happened.

So, does vehicles spawn on MB after extracting them? Not that it would be of any use or anything, but would be nice to look at them, lol.

What the hell? I always turn off my Internet connection before launching the game. So, can they still invade and take my stuff? I would never know since I never logon to get the message I've been invaded. This sucks.
Click to expand...

Yeah I usually do the same. It auto logged me in today and I was greeted with the message that I failed to defend my FOB last night, but I wasn't playing when the invasion happened. Not sure if this can be labeled part of the server errors? Can't imagine that is how it is supposed to work. No fun involved if you don't even get the chance to defend yourself in PvP.
 
I hate how I can'T change sound levels in the options sometimes I want to drop the music and sound effects so can hear dialog more clearly especially near choppers or any vehicle .

I can't believe the game does not have a sound options menu at all

how about that terrible music cue tho right

Great song though, they could put it with BB taking a shit and it would still be enjoyable.

It isn't really when you know the conclusion of that.

Finish all of the wondering soldiers thing and you'll get pictures of events concerning her in PW. You can only give her one picture at a time so give her a picture then come back later every once and a while.

Before you launch the game turn off the Internet in the console settings. Then launch the game. This is what I've been doing. Havnt seen any losses yet and I assume it's because they can notify me lol.

Wait, I think my game is glitched, that never happened to me,
I fultoned the truck and then left
.

Skulls
actually show up in that mission?

I love how 99% of the time the ''extract highly skilled soldier'' side-ops the target is like the worst soldier on the entire map.

I've been noticing this too and I thought I was going crazy.

Also for the Unlucky Dog side missions, it took me until the third one to put 2 and 2 together that it was the same one of my guys being kidnapped every time...and then I got the joke when I saw his name in the mission intro credits as a level designer.

It works, thats how I did it.
you have to lure Them away
Click to expand...
One one attempt I
just kept trying while they shot me and the ballon. It worked on the third try.
seriously though people I suck at games and that mission wasn't overly hard. Experiment. There's a tank near by, use it.

Episode 31:

The Sahelanthropus boss battle was pretty easy. I'd thought it'd be harder :(
Click to expand...

I thought the same, even got a S rank despite being killed once.




By the way, does the time in cut scenes counts toward the timer of the mission ? I've done mission 30 in stealth without firing my weapons or getting spotted but I only got an A rank :/
And the mission timer indicated more than 30min which seems very unlikely (unless I've passed out at some point ?)
 
spent way too much GMP early on and now I'm strapped at mission 8, selling off resources to afford a rocket launcher. Guess I'll have to grind some side ops.

Do I have to do anything to get D.Dog after he's rescued, or will he just become available at some point?

Not a bad idea. Honestly I don't mind the PvP aspect of the game but I just sincerely hope this was a fluke. The staff is easy enough to replace but losing the resources impacts SP progression too, because you need more time then to resupply the stolen resources for development of MB.

He'll become available automatically a bit later

I think it does. Its why I didn't get S on 28.
 
So, I've taken my time with the game doing a mix of side ops and main stuff. Currently 35 hours in and about to do Mission
22
. Am I reading correctly that there are
28
missions left in the main story?

This would make my playtime easily
70ish
hours? Is that correct?

I really wanted to call it Big Base, because I feel that's just the kind of wordplay Big Boss would appreciate, but the game is so stingy with the words it lets you use that this was the best (slash dumbest) thing I could come up with :P
 
Is it possible to obtain an s rank even though you restarted from a check point ?
