Combat Deployment, Base Development Unit, extracting containers.
It's not easy but if you're going for full completion you'll be spending tens of hours going for S ranks, optional objectives and side ops anyway so it'll come eventually.

I posted this a few pages back but no one replied so I'll try again. Is there any way to request an air pick up while on a free roaming side op and get the chopper to drop you off at another landing zone without going back to the ACC?
It's becoming very difficult now with multiple enemies concentrated in one area with full body armour, shields and helmets. I can't do this anymore...even combat deployment to cut supplies off isn't really working.
Side ops 146 is tough as fuck because of where the prisoner is located and that the only way to get there is full of guards that spot you.

Yea it's ridiculous. I was like "lol what is this". Shit got real, real quick.
I don't think so, but you can go back to the ACC at any time in the pause menu, so you don't always have to go find a landing zone and get extracted first
Think I'm going to take a day away from this so I don't get burnt out..The last 2 nights the only thing that stopped me was my DS4 going dead. @46%.
Trying to do all the side ops before I finish up the story

Wasted so much time chasing around those wandering soldiers, only to realize I can just give Quiet a Tranq rifle and 1 shot them..
Yeah, I'm finding the length a bit of a nightmare at this stage.
Having said that, once you commit to using the 'Return to ACC' button, you start clearing through missions much faster and it gets much more fun. Cuts most of the faffing about. If each mission takes on average 10-20 minutes it's pretty easy to progress quickly.
I'm going to be playing offline until they fix their server system. Except for periodically popping online to get daily bonuses.

hmm seems you can open up more landing zones by destroying aa radar at bases

When you get rewards from those combat deployments, what you get is actually very specifically listed. You can even choose what in particular to accept or deny (or take everything)
Yeah, this was in one of the E3 demos. C4 is great for this if you want to do it and remain hidden (although they will go into Alert mode)

I guess just try to get smart with the tools you're using to do the job. If you keep using the same tactics and toolset, the AI will be wise to you by now, so mix it up
Even getting the game three days early, so a week ago tomorrow, and booking a few days off work, I've only just got the true ending. I got a little burnt out yesterday, before hitting the final run of story missions, but a break to watch Mad Max Fury Road refreshed me.
I feel bad for the critics who had to power through this at the Konami events. I almost feel exhausted burning through it in a week, and if I'm not mistaken, they had less than that, right?

ive clocked in about 20 hours over the last 3 days but i'm now in the 2 hour a night phase, the game structure combined with addictive gameplay makes it ripe for a burnout, which i think is happening with a couple of the game's detractors.

Gotta be a little careful with that though. I used it right after finishing a side-op and it didn't save. Make sure you see a saving icon in the corner before you click it.
Enemies are now shooting down my Fultons, have full body armor so tranq shots don't work at all unless I aim for the legs, have night vision goggles, have absurdly good vision at all times of the day/night, and now always running to my suspected position instead of walking over, and there are a ton more.
Game is seriously challenging me in Africa.

It's crazy, I don't know how you could objectively rate something that you had to marathon. When I turn the game off I'm always wishing I had another hour or two to play it. I'm not getting to the stage of having to turn it off because I'm burnt out. I'm always left wanting more, like a good meal. Not throwing up in the bathroom because it ate too much.
just managed to defeat quiet with an Srank
I'm sure it is affecting my enjoyment, but it's more because of the repetitive nature of the game rather than playing it for hours on end. You brought up Final Fantasies, which have been games I've LOVED playing for ridiculous amounts of times (like, 10-12 hours a day) because something is always happening with the story, I really enjoy the gameplay etc
If a game and/or its story is good enough, I always get the feeling of wanting more, even if I had been playing for the last 12 hours
Jesus, sounds like I gotta switch back to the battle dress soon
I'm curious how they are going to adapt to my current tactics - I started off doing the usual Metal Gear 'tranq everyone' stuff but then I noticed helmets popping up. Once I got the sneaking suit I started doing more holdups, and for large groups I use smoke grenades. I wonder if I'll start seeing IR goggles if I keep abusing smoke and if there's some tool I could use to counter-counter that. Fucking shit I can't wait to get home and just play this game for 3 goddamn days straight.
Or like Master Kojima said:
After every mission, go to the Mother Base, relax, do side ops. Don't burn yourself

Any tips on how to raise Quiets buddy meter fast? I'd love to use D-dog 100% of the time but I figured I might as well grind her to max as well.

So before I launch the game, I turn "connect to Internet" off on my ps4. Then, once I'm playing I turn it back on to chat with friends. Since the game doesn't try to connect to servers, I shouldn't need to worry about anyone invading my base, right?
can't watch videos but they absolutely use flares on me all the time. And mortars, but they've never actually hit me.

Flares that they shoot into the sky?
I don't know about the Quiet scene, but I've seen enemies use flares.
Keep saying 'Quiet' to her whenever she's nearby.
AFAIK, constantly giving your buddy orders or interacting with them will raise this. Chances are, constantly sending Quiet to scout bases raises it, too.
Can't watch the video, but I can confirm they've used flares on me loads of times at night.
Fucking intense. You're crawling away through the brush in a ditch to the side of the road when suddenly 'pop' and everything is in daylight and you're exposed as fuck, and the guards are bearing down.
Amazing.

They hit me once. Knocked me off my horse and thought the horse died since I couldn't use it. Just layed there. Was available the next mission.

Yes. When it's night and you're in a combat mode fleeing an area, enemies will consistently use flares.
Some questions for Mother Base related stuff.
1) Soldiers are getting auto assigned for me. Am I able to have them sent to the waiting room first so that I can assign them how I want? Can't see an option for it.
2) Anyway to mark the target practice missions as done. Having them forever count towards the number of side ops available gets a bit annoying.

Every side op:
Infiltrate base in true metal gear fashion -> lay c4 -> locate objective -> detonate c4 -> PEQUOD COMING IN HOT

Fuck Konami and their cheap asses. Started the game, opened up the idroid, it forced me into purchasing my first FOB, and now it's just stuck there because their servers suck ass.
Fully agreed.
On Wednesday I totally burned out on the game. I was off work and I must have played it for 7 hours throughout the day. By the end of the day I just wasn't enjoying it. This happens with basically any game, imo.
However last night I played for about 3-4 hours and had an amazing time. I stayed focused, completed missions, and used 'Return to ACC' whenever I could to cut out fluff. It was totally brilliant.
Really?! Shit! I guess do a Staff Management auto-shuffle to prompt a checkpoint before leaving.

Best moments of the game thus far, outside of maybe the Prologue.
I'm starting to learn a few tricks of the trade which are really helping me get around quicker. Making more use of the magazines for close enemies and firing tranq rounds near enemies that are further away to distract them. Diving to prone a lot more. The sneaking gameplay is starting to click more with me and it's really rewarding. Tranqing whole swathes of enemies only really works in small outposts because your suppressor will die really quick.

Meet up with Emmerich.
Of course that turned into
two main missions because I ran into Quiets domain and then the side op throws you into mission 12 immediately. Infiltrating the military base and getting away from Sahelanthropus was so intense.

TAAAAAAAKE ON ME
Anyone got an opinion on this? I was hoping that maybe something like this is actually possible later on...?
Is it possible to "finish" the game without doing the [Extreme] missions?
And frankly I absolutely refuse to go through what is truly one of the worst encounters I've ever played in a videogame, for a second time, for whatever horseshit arbitrary reason Kojima and/or Konami decided I need to to complete their game.
Will be watching the remaining cutscenes on YouTube if this is the barrier to completion.
