Actually loving FOB now, purely because my security is so good so I login and people are still fucked. Won 8 defences personally and 15 infiltrations.
 
Is there a list of the music tapes available to collect in the game? Rocking the Final Countdown right now but might need a refresher.
 
I have every strut leveled to 2. Hm, guess I'll just have to work on it.

It's not a slam dunk and later on in the game you should be getting higher level stuff, but the team's strut increases give you a chance of higher than A-rank soldiers. It may be A+/A++/S/S+ in ONE area or multiple, it's random.
 
Question about DD.


How much damage can he take? He's great, but when I'm spotted and he starts to get hurt, I'm afraid he could die, so I sent him back to MB right away. But maybe he's even better helping getting away of the alert status
 
This is why KojiPro needs to explain it. People are not sure if it's the ENTIRE staff of Mother Base that defends invasions or the Security (which the tutorial hints at?) Team. Either way, it deosn't solve that a lot of people don't want this headache and would rather turn it off.

I love how they were like "oh yeah it's optional" but if you login online after mission 22 for the daily bonuses on Konami's servers, you're FORCED to make a base and do the tutorials explaining the mode. It's so stupid.

It's your security team AND whichever team is on that platform. So R&D staff if they invade the R&D platform
 
I finished mission 16 on my Vita. I never had the cargo fulton so i had to take out all the skulls. It actually wasnt that hard. I ended up with an S Rank.
 
94 Side-Ops in the bag, I hope to god true ending pops afterwards... I've done all main missions and the extra difficulties.
 
If im in a main mission can I call in for a helicopter to pick me up and bring me closer to the target location? For some reason mission 6 I believe it is, has me like a million miles away and its taking forever to get there. I was curious if I called for a pickup if it would just cancel out of the mission and I would have to restart all over again or if it would actually allow me to get closer (since when I bring up the idriod and it asks for a pickup theres a location thats actually right near the target area that it wouldnt originally let me choose for some reason)

Blow up their anti air radar.

I can't say or really estimate for sure, but not much at all. Less than D-Horse it seems, and D-Horse doesn't take much more than a few sustained shots.

Yes but before that location wasn't available but now it is. Still haven't been anywhere near it so dont know why now. Im just afraid that if I call in the chopper now itll think im failing the mission/cancelling the mission.
 
Huey is such a huge asshole, it's amazing that his son turned out to be a great man.

It's a theme within the entire series that both Otacon & Snake avoided the sins of their fathers. They always fought and did the right think, no matter what. Raiden avoided it as well(Solidus)but it's only because of Snake interfering with the patroits plans in MGS2. As for Huey yelling revenge, it made me laugh.
 
Just did the
child soldier
rescue mission. Ugh, what a fucking shitshow. How do you make an escort mission worse? You escort 5 braindead idiots while carrying one on your back while having to deal with soldiers and choppers. Ugh. So terrible. And then they don't even get on the chopper! I got all of them to the LZ and the only one that got on was the one I put on myself! What do I have to do, put each of them on individually? I'm not doing that crap again!

  1. Have D-dog
  2. Tranq everything he points out
  3. Keep moving

It wasn't too hard for me like that.
 
I hated the kids, had to tell them to wait, then go, for them to start actually going anywhere. I got S too, maybe they're generous because they know nobody wants to replay that mission.
No needed in my case, I destroyed the Anti Air Radar, called in a launcher, shot the enemy helicopter and then called my own into the base. It was literally infront of the dungeon entry. No need to even care for the other kids. Score Screen: http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...565/DAA305E7F652B862719C817BC880311CB0DC126E/
 
Every time I try and Fulton extract myself on top of a mineral container I fall off just as it's about to blast off to MB. Is there an art to doing this or do I just suck?
 
Wait mission 18 was meant be hard?

Easiest escort mission ever as only 2 enemies in front at time and with D--dog he sniffs them out allowing you stop then get them before moving forward.
 
Episode 31 spoiler:
Huey shooting Skullface and then wailing out "REVENGE!" is fucking silly

It is such a Metal Gear thing to do.

My favorite moment so far was in Episode 30 or 31 when
Skull Face was losing his shit at Sahelanthropus moving on it's own and he screamed "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
 
There's been a guy allegedly at my base for 15 minutes that I can't connect to. Hope he's fucked up and having to wander around rather than stealing everything.

There is a second button prompt where Snake grabs the line so he don't fall of. Just climb on the container, then fulton, then press the fulton button again to grab.

My boyfriend was in the room with me when that happened and he started laughing at it. So over the top lmao
 
To raise my S.Link with Quiet, is it enough to deploy her, or do i have to give her orders too?

Deploying her gives her +4 bond level or something. Giving her orders is like +0.5 or +1 or something. Just keep saying 'Quiet' to her periodically, and keep taking her on missions.

Going into the iDroid and telling her to go scout stuff out is always really useful, too.

Yeah I thought it was easy, too.

There are only like 5 guys, with another 2-3 in the second bit. And chopper is so telegraphed.
 
Looks like I'll need to get fulton up to include vehicles before I do mission 16. I could probably just try it over and over until I get lucky, but this feels like a decent enough reason to go clear up a bunch of side ops. I need to get my R&D and Support teams up a few levels.

Now that my initial expectations have faded away, and some of the intrigue and gameplay features have had more time to come forward, I'm enjoying it more.
 
Any point in maxing out my bond with D-Horse? D-Walker is much more convenient to use for transport.
 
I just discovered that smoke grenades can
force guards to go on alert if they see it. Easy way to make guards move out into the open without making a noise.

Thanks, this will make certain missions much easier now. I nearly screwed up one of the late game total stealth missions attempting and failing miserably to pull it off. Would've been seriously pissed if I had.
