Trying to decide if i want to do a no kill run on my first play through or not...

 

[Hunkasaurus Rex]

Oh man, I think I need tips for Quiet

Spoiler

Extreme. One hit KO's. Dropping a supply box on her head no longer effective. She hardly ever camps out on the destructable ruins. Any decent methods going around?

I didn't do extreme so this might not be helpful but I ended up using a sniper rifle. If I ever lost track of her, I used the mic and scanned the general vicinity of where I thought she'd be. DD helps as well.

link to my s rank of it, it's not that hard if you keep can track of the bosses movements

 

[brau]

Cool thanks, so it looks like he'll be ready after my next mission

Heard he is awesome as a buddy. So have fun

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Completing certain side ops unlock head gear for BB.

The combat unit have balaclavas unlocked from the start.

Thanks for that. Can you tell me he names of the side ops if it doesn't spoil anything?

 

[DarkChronic]

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times, but what happens when you extract soldiers and you are at your limit at Mother Base? Do the lowest stats get dismissed?

For example, if I Fulton a "A" R+D guy on the field, and I'm already at 65/65, will my lowest "E" get replaced?

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Haha! I was completely kidding - no idea if that's in-game. :-D

Why tho?

 

[JawzPause]

Can you fulton trucks? The cars in motherbase don't count.

Yes i can and i have fighting vehicles (tanks and the others). I'm thinking maybe this has something to do with that fighting vehicle that

Spoiler

emmerich

made but i don't remember it's name.

 

[nrvalleytime]

Why tho?

Was a poor attempt at a joke. Edited it quickly since I realized it wasn't funny for anyone, and I'm not clever.

They get replaced with the higher ones. Lower ones are dismissed. That is what the tutorial said.

 

[TsuWave]

wonder how much they paid kiefer. granted i'm pretty early in the story as i'm having fun doing side missions but snake is so silent in this game so far. he's the true "quiet".

 

[Auctopus]

I started dismissing everyone. If you ain't at least an A, you're not on my team son.

I think the game does that automatically when you reach your limit.

 

[Ferrio]

How do you turn off Auto Assign?

I wanna assign/dismiss guys myself, I accidently dismissed an A+ guy cause of the damn auto assign.

Now I'm just disappointed that it isn't true

Beautiful, thanks. Must have missed that part, ha.

 

[Lashley]

Rushed episode 10, blew tank up got prisoner

Other prisoners died will re-do later with quiet or DD

Got an A rank, shouldn't have called in support heli but wanted extra backup

 

[Error1355]

Please answer without spoilers, but to people who have beaten the game do you feel as it if satisfied the 'bridging the gap' between MGS3/Peace Walker and MG1 hype that it said it was going to be?

 

[Sifl]

Ok I need to take a break from this game, the most frustrating thing just happened to me ever in a videogame.

Big mission 12 spoilers:

Spoiler

I got Emmerich out of the lab, did everything perfectly stealthed all the way from the power plant to the base. It CLEARLY said lose the Metal Gear so you can escape in the chopper. So I just started riding on my horse, and it eventually said warning: leaving the mission area. I quickly tried to turn around but it was to late. So I thought maybe I just failed and I get a checkpoint, nope. Completely abandoned it, I started it up again from the menu and right back in the power plant.

Fuck this shit.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Yeah I need to know that too. I want to send everyone to the waiting room first. That way I can get rid of all the E/D/C/B rank soldiers in my rewards list.

 

[nrvalleytime]

Now I'm just disappointed that it isn't true

Aww, man. Now I feel bad.

Maybe it is! Who knows.

Spoiler

Probably not though.

 

[Real Hero]

Does anyone know the easiest place to get the transportation specialist? I can't fulton cars yet

 

[Lashley]

Rushed episode 10, blew tank up got prisoner

if i redo this for other prisoners, do I NEED to get Malak again

Got a combat unit

 

[Chariot]

You can see in the mission screen what specialists you can pull out of them.

Mission

Spoiler

10

, base nearest the landing zone

Not done it yet, next on my list

 

[demosthenes]

As it auto saves, when you quit. Will you load up in the position you qut the game?

edit: Another question: Ocelot said for mission 1 I have 3 days and I'm just cruising around exploring. Am I really timed?

 

[Revolutionary]

Ok these missions that have automatic supply drops are fucking stupid. 28k every 2 minutes because the game thinks I need them.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

About the chopper easter egg

Spoiler

I hope it is just Kojima fucking with my head and not foreshadowing for some kind of cliché twist

 

[Mr Swine]

I have played the game for over 7 hours and I haven't started on chapter 4 yet 😩

 

[Nuzzgok]

How can I unlock mission

Spoiler

46? I've done 45.

Gonna ask again, desperate for that sweet ending relief

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Trying to decide if i want to do a no kill run on my first play through or not...

I'd say don't bother. Have fun with the game. Limiting yourself is less fun imo.

 

[muteki]

Is there any value early in the game to really being particular about who you fulton back to base or not? Feels like, other than the mission-required people, that I should just use up the rest of my allotted fultons for whatever soldiers are convenient and let the auto assign do its thing, just to build up the ranks.

Cheers for this, I'm using the same rifle as you but I think you've got a better scope. I couldn't figure out if that decoy was actually working, good idea though.

grind something, cause that's what kojima/konami think is fun pacing

 

[TwoDurans]

They get replaced with the higher ones. Lower ones are dismissed. That is what the tutorial said.

They're pushed to the waiting room, not dismissed.

only picking up dudes who are c and up is a good strategy

Quiet is so sexy I'm gonna die!

I saw fulton people that have an average of C and above. Unless you need to just stack people to get the next tier of things to develop.

I think you are right. I do everything auto assign. So i don't pay attention to where they go.

 

[Nuzzgok]

Even more side ops? Man I've done like 30 already, what was he thinking

I haven't reached the ending yet but I keep seeing the talk about how a big story scene was cut. Maybe the grinding was implemented because they didn't have time to end it properly?

When does this start?

That's what I was thinking. I'm only an hour in and I love it.

 

[jett]

Man, stuff should build while you're away. Having to actually be playing the game for your shit to build, which can take hours, is incomprehensible. And it's a single-player game to boot for fuck's sake. Shit like this really annoys me.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Does anyone know if I take out the larger anti air satellites does it permanently opens up more landing zones or is it just temporarily?

 

[Quick Mustard]

Out of curiosity, how many main missions are there?
Spoiler the answer please.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

check in the customisation options you might be able to use the 2-8 variable zoom scope now

Spoiler

I believe 50

Someone call me out if i am wrong

 

[Alienous]

Spoiler

That's only sort of true.

Spoiler

About 10 of those are repeat missions at harder difficulties. So there are 50 missions, but there are about 40 unique ones, not counting Side-Ops.

 

[Nuzzgok]

Out of curiosity, how many main missions are there?
Spoiler the answer please.

Spoiler

50, but around 10 of them are hard versions of older missions

 

[schlongdog]

Spoiler

50

But around 10 of those are replays of older missions on harder difficulty

 

[Lashley]

Is mission 8 very hard if I cant fulton vehicles yet?

 

[robotrock]

Man. Episode 16 is really killing me. It's the one

Spoiler

where you need to grab the convoy truck and then the skulls come out and I can't seem to get out of the mist or drive the truck out of the mist or fulton out of the mist. Shooting them barely does any damage.

Any tips? I can't even do this with the chicken hat.
