Goddamn it, Mission 12 has gone to absolute shit and I'm not sure I'll be able to make it out alive because of that damn chopper. Will all of my fultoned soldiers carry over if I have to go back to a checkpoint? I collected them all on the way to this mission's location, not during it.
Edit: Follow up question, can you snipe down helicopters... with a tranquiliser rifle? -_-

Can't wait to play this. Trying to find time to sit down for a few hours and get into it.
The only MGS games I've played are 2 and 4. I can't even remember much about 2 but what put me off 4 was the long cutscenes. How does 5 compare? Is it more of the same, more cutscenes or more gameplay?

That's not true. There are female soldiers who are playable if recruited. And a few other characters I won't mention for story reasons.

fultoning resource containers and hopping on is he best way to end missions,Wish you could do the same with trucks.
There aren't that many main characters in the game anyway almost all the characters that appear im this game are alrwady established characters. But when it comes to random NPCs, you have female prisoners, female soldiers in your staff/base etc etc.
Dont believe everything you read on the internet.
Also if you remember, the most important person in the entire MGS timeline was a woman who was the pioneer of special forces i.e. Boss.
I haven't seen any female soldiers, but I did rescue a few female prisoners that work on my base now.
But mainly yeah, Quiet is...hoo boy.
It's a perfectly fine translation. Just a slightly more colloquial phrase than normal
In story mission
...15...

I have quite a few female soldiers at my base. Like 4 in my combat unit alone. In fact, my highest rank combat unit soldier is female, Pouncing Harrior.
Same thing here, made no sense. But hey, I'll take it.
I find these impossible too, hopefully I'm not missing anything by skipping them
I had a tough time with mission 12. Everything was going great until I got to the building and
couldn't find the door. I figured you needed the right soldier to open the locked doors and had a pile of them over at the locked back entrance. Only after I was caught did I end up running past and noticing the one unlocked door.

Quiet is a Goddess on the battlefield.
At high levels she can beat entire missions on her own, she is ridiculously cool and powerful.
Send her in to scout the place, wait til she's ready, then give the kill order and watch the bodies start dropping!

I'm trying to build up my RnD and Med teams so I can get the Tranq Sniper. For.. obvious reasons.
If I replay story missions, for example Red Brass, can I like, Fulton-Farm the High level recruits?

So, how do you play as
characters other than Snake?
There is probably more than one since it's just a regular prisoner. But yeah, it took me a long time to find him.
On my lunch break and I went ahead and bought MGS5, won't be home for another 6 hours so hopefully it'll be done downloading. Got a glorious 3 day weekend to play as much as I can. Once I get Forza on the 10th these will be the only two games I played until Halo 5. Won't need shit else.
I grabbed all the XOF patches, and did the two bonus missions that unlock in GZ the past two night to get some bonuses. So excited for this. MGS series holds a very special place for me because of my memories of when it released on Playstation. I'll never forget playing through that demo all night with my cousin and the Christmas morning I got it. This day needs to hurry up.....

Keep playing until you receive a combat unit as part of your base.

The worst part about Quiet is how amazing and powerful she is. Like, what's the point of her not wearing appropriate clothing for her mission when she already makes the player go "motherofgod.gif" every time you ask her to provide covering fire? Such a wasted opportunity to have a unique and awe-inspiring female character. Not sure who her current design is meant to cater to.

Awesome thanks for the heads up! Looks like I've still got a bit to get there, my R&D is only level 22 so far. I just want a non lethal as my primary
so I can use the lethal pistols.I just meant the design/character stuff. I maxed her out and use her most of the time since she's super fun to have as support.
Cleared a big base earlier shooting 2 bullets while she knocked everyone else on their ass.

Is the stun arm useful for anything? Seems like it doesn't really offer much over the default one.
Deals a lot of stamina gauge damage. Super effective against animals too.

It stuns in a small frontal cone, so it's good if there's a pair of guards talking or in a small building. It might also travel across water, but I keep forgetting to check. The shock knife in Peace Walker could.
tbf dude has been through hell
In the loadout before the mission.
Well worth it - I got the collectors edition - you get 40 odd extra pages - so 400 in total.
It's really well produced - and has loads of non-spoiler info, as well as individual mission and side-op guides.
I haven't read ahead through them, but its nice to have resource if I get stuck. But it's really cool just reading through some of the background stories of the characters / previous games and deeper info on the tactics etc.
Recommend it highly!!
Quiet is fucking awesome. I dunno what the "hoo boy" is about.

I have a question, I haven't looked and I am not at home so I want to know ^^.
Is there a tranquilizer Sniper Rifle with a surpressor ? Also, is there a way to build surpressors ? I would at least like to have one Sniper Rifle with a surpressor, even if it's lethal.

I think I figured out my one gripe with this game.. lack of urgency/motivation. In each other metal gear you were literally stopping a nuclear war.
In TPP, you are simply building up for revenge against some organization that attacked you 9 years prior. I'm still early on in this game so maybe it picks up but I just feel bo urgency at all

just picked the game up, what can i expect? lol.
i remember basically nothing from the MGS games i've played (MGS1-4), is there a good video i could watch to catch up? also, how many hours should i reserve to play this tonight if i want to advance to a point beyond the intro and where it hopefully opens up? 2 hours? 3..?

Well, at this point the urgency should be to destroy Cipher who's getting bigger and bigger and actually is a threat to the world.
You can customize the snipers you already have with a silencer once you unlock the legendary gunsmith (side op).
afaik the easiest and fastest way to get a tranq sniper rifle with surpressor is by developing a tranq sniper rifle and an dmg sniper rifle with surpressor and then adding the surpressor to the tranq sniper rifle via weapon customisation.

Vehicle kills don't count as official kills afaik. They didn't in Ground Zeroes. Unless you're asking because you ran in to one with a buns of non-lethal stuff in which case you should a weapons drop in.
