How come everything you start a mission your guns are 1 bullet short so you can reload

Cuz one bullet is in the chamber?


Also...loving your avatar. lol

 

[Chanser]

Was doing a prisoner extraction, saw my target lying on the roof of a tin hut. Boy those soldiers are clever.

 

[Lostconfused]

But snake always chambers a bullet after reloading! So there shouldn't be an extra one.

I actually liked that about Crysis 3 that they hand an entirely different set of animations for when reloading with an empty chamber or not, haha.

Every time I am trying to purchase the FOB my game crashes, is this a common problem?

 

[Griss]

So obviously the plastic surgery to change Snake's face at the beginning to hide his identity didn't go ahead due to the attack on the clinic, but will the face I chose ever show up again in the game? Or was it just a total red herring?

I'm pretty sure that

a) That will be addressed again,
b) Whether it is or isn't would be a huge spoiler,
c) late game spoilers (roughly mission 38)

I'm a long way through the game and it hasn't been raised yet so who knows, though I have a strong feeling I know exactly what happened

No is that for a Trial or Trophy or something? I have seen them go haywire occasionally so that is really cool if it can actually affect enemies.

When you meet him in the hangar to extract him, he doesn't recognize you at first until Snake says "Dr. Emmerich". Emerrich then asks "Snake?" in a confused voice. So chances are the surgery did go through, it's just that we as the player see him as Snake.

That's what I figure is what it is. Haven't beaten the game yet though.

Happened to me and a few others. You can disconnect before opening the idroid then do another mission and try it again.

Take a look at this topic. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/718564-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/72445359

The roadblock with this is it takes forever for unprocessed materials to process. Before I sleep today I'm going to try leaving my PS4 on and AFKing in the chopper and see if the materials will get processed when I wake up.

 

[Hasney]

I may sob uncontrollably.

EDIT: RESTARTED THE GAME AND IT LOOKS FINE. GOD I HOPE SO.

Thats a good point. I wonder if this is the same when he reloads with an empty chamber. I have not payed attention to this.

The round count on assault rifle at start is 30 but when hit reload it goes upto 31 so if one in chamber it should stay at 30 right?

 

[Gurish]

GAF, mission 6 the honey bee weapon, Miller tells me to find clues about the target at the relay base point, I'm searching the entire thing like crazy, interrogated almost all the soldiers (they have nothing to say at this point) and still I can't find any clues there, where is it?

Should I just continue without the intel to my next destination, my score will be terrible any way since I've spent like an hour in this relay base.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Finished up Mission 12 this morning. Definitely my favorite mission so far. Looking forward to checking out Africa later.

Ridiculous (in a good way!) how long this game is. Through 12 missions and I think 20 side ops and I'm at like 34.5 hours played.

 

[Coriolanus]

Yeah, and don't worry about score on the first try in any mission. You'll have to re-do them later anyway if going for completion.

The round count on assault rifle at start is 30 but when hit reload it goes upto 31 so if one in chamber it should stay at 30 right?

no..
1) you put a clip in with 30 rounds (its max)
2) you chamber a round
3) you then remove the clip, and fill it to 30 again (add 1 bullet) considering the bullet you chambered in step 2 is now in the barrel ready to be fired.

So what do I have to watch out for not to miss a recruitment etc.? I don't mind mild spoilers.

While we're on this subject, can we talk about the unprocessed material containers laying around Mother Base? Is it easier to fulton these so they reach the Base Development platform quicker?

I need help with unlocking the true ending.

I read in some website that

Spoiler

in order to unlock it you have to skip mission forty-something (don't remember), otherwise Quiet will die and you won't be able to see the true ending. But in other website they state that you can avoid this by putting a butterfly logo in your emblem.

What are the exact requirements to unlock the true ending?

I'm really confused and I don't know how to proceed xD so any help would be appreciated.

And all I can do is say Take Aim, Kill, or be Quiet. How do I make her follow me? And what the heck does telling her to be Quiet do?

You can give orders via iDroid.

If you hid in a toilet and play the tape of the soldier with stomach problems, the guard didn't open the door. He kinda mumbled something and walked away.

So I didn't miss anything?
And yeah I know about the re-do but If I will finish them with a high score I will still have to do them again?

If you extract the prisoner that you encounter early on, you'll obtain the waypoint for the Honey Bee's exact location. If not, look for the prisoner later; he'll be in roughly the same area as the Honey Bee.

It's located

I was called back to motherbase because a kid got crushed by some pipes. Am I supposed to do something here? I dont understand what the point of taking me back to motherbase was...could have just told me over the radio

Control her from the menu, dawg. And you're not "telling her to be quiet," you're just saying her name, same with DD.

Really wish I could delete my FOB. Frustrating as shit getting hit with losses whenever I come back.

She also speaks English/Japanese in the beginning of the game.

Can't the infected people just learn sign language or would that kill them too?

When you come across the large bridge at the beginning of the mission, there should be a prisoner with several escorts near a jeep. That's the guy. If you don't extract him there, he will be taken to another area and guided into the ruins there.

Don't worry about your score. Honestly, it's an easy S rank once you figure out where to go. I snuck my way to the location with a tranq pistol got the honey bee taking headshots on the way out then ran away on the horse ASAP.

Maybe because I explored an outpost before heading there I might have missed him, so I guess they moved him to the next area.

Thanks, it's just that I prefer to get a decent score in my first try, I have no intention to re-do stuff for S ranking, game is too big for me to start playing for perfect runs, I have other games waiting
