Very minor-to-non-existent spoilers concerning Skullface and some equipment:
Can I ever develop his awesome shotgun?
Certain missions reward you the key items you need. There are only two headgears though.

How?
mission 3 can be done in 90 seconds by firing a single rocket
ill edit in the link in a few min
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esbUO98lW5Y
here it is
his method uses two rockets but i found u can do it with one.
when u scope in with your rocket-preferebly the grom.
dont fire off the first warning rocket,
aim for the bottom right window
the targets in that room.
itll kill him
then u hop on d horse or a vehicle and do a 180 back to mission start which is right behind you and down the road
rinse and repeat.
i was averaging 90 second completions for 1600 heroism each time

Yup, I just did the subsistence version of that mission. You also get some elite soldiers from it.
Edit: Oh mission 3 nvm. Thanks for the link.
In the past week I've done three complete 8 hour sessions. I can't put it down and it's ruining my life. I love it!

There are like 3-4 different voice sets, only 1 of them does what you describes.
Good, I gotta find another one then because this voice set is kinda annoying.
How do you use the cage? Do you just drop it anywhere? Does it automatically collect or do you have to check it yourself?
I've always wondered this. Thought it couldn't be as simple as leaving it and it auto-collects, can it?
whats that?
missions where you start w/o equipment and buddy. also reflex mode is disabled and you can't call down supply. basically you have to find everything in the field.
That's it. Put them down and go do a side op/mission.
Edit: If you do a side ops and do "Return to Acc" it might not tell you your captures.

I kinda got lucky with an A++ female soldier that kinda looks like lara croft with the gunman skill and good voice set.

Cool. Guess I'll be getting some gerbils.
I spent a lot of time picking up hedgehogs, but only one ever showed up at the zoo.
Side ops work? I feel like I only get captures after finishing missions.

Would be amazing if the game asked you at the begging what all languages you speak or understand and then skip the interpreter missions completely, with Ocelot saying something cool
"you're not gonna extract him too?"
In case you don't see my edit, it tells you what you captured on the rewards screen. So if you do the return to helicopter instantly trick when doing a side ops you won't get captures (I think). So you gotta call in a chopper and leave that way.Cool. Guess I'll be getting some gerbils.

Side Ops work if you let it reach a checkpoint.

It might seem like splitting hairs but
the traditional format of a Metal Gear game is the completion of a mission. In this case its building mother-base and exacting revenge upon Skullface, and that is completed in Chapter 1. The stuff in chapter to 2 mainly embellishes around that and acts as connective tissue to the canon of the saga. Its all good stuff, but mainly serves to close up lingering questions from the prologue
I personally think its a positive thing that the story is broken up like this. The plot convolution of previous Metal Gears was largely cosmetic in that it was either a genre trope (MGS3) or a pretext to move from location to location encountering new bosses/enemies (pretty much every other main entry barring PW).
Strip that away and it invariably comes down to a simple man-on-a-mission scenario which is hardly the height of storytelling sophistication.
MGSV is laid out a bit differently, but to say its got less plot than the more traditional just seems wrong to me. I think the story and the themes explored within TPP are just fine.
I think Sifl got it right, I always use the menu to go back to ACC after side ops and I never noticed any captures.

Sorry if already answered, but what do I do with the Tapes such as "Recorded in Toilet" or "African Lullaby" or "Quiet's humming"? My iDroid has the speaker upgrade, but I don't see any of the tapes affecting guards.
EDIT: Thanks for the answers. Too bad I can't use any of them as Helicopter music either.

Humming: Helps your aim (but it breaks)
Toliet: Get in a toliet during an alert and play it. Guards won't check the toliet.
These taps all break and you have to refind them, AFAIK. Not worth it. You can just quaff diazpam for Quiet's effect.

I felt like a genius when I thought (I'm around Ch. 15ish, re: "secret" cutscene on Mother Base)
playing some tapes to Paz would bring back her memory

I was rescuing everyone, and then I heard over the comms that they were about to execute the interpreter. DD immediately tagged the soldier and the interpreter. I run like a bat out of hell across camp with DD in tow. I run into the room, and right as the soldier is about to point the gun, I grab him, choke him out, and fulton him out of the area.
「待たせたな？」/"Kept you waiting, huh?"
Dammit, my emblem is Naked Chick too! No fair.
Here's the video of the end of my run on mission 14. Didn't think to record from the start so I only got the last 5 of the 20.

Finished with a score of 146k so I can't complain
This. Flaming Buffalo is the best soldier in my Combat unit, but even after a short sprint it sounds like she's suffocating.

I think she's everyone's best until you find a better one yourself, since she's given to you by the game.
Though I like my Pouncing Harrier better, her name even fits my emblem kinda.
Have you got all the other codenames? It's 150k, plus all the other codenames I believe. I've got the trophy for getting past 150k, but because of one codename I physically can't get, I can't get hero status.

Nice! I just
hid in a box to get their attention and grabbed them when they came to investigate.

Mission 14 is annoying
the checkpoints suddenly stopped working so I can't see what kind of prisoner I extracted

Mission 46
Tutorial again? Really? REALLY? Twist was not all that surprising. Not like that MGS2 Kojima troll of the decade situation.
I guess I just need to trigger 45 and I'm done.

I haven't tried the toilet tape yet but I imagine if you have the idroid speaker equipped it'll hold off a guard from searching the toilet you're hiding in. I'll have to try it out.

Yes this works.

What codename is that?
Yeah, they just had to give her the weezing voice, lol.
At least it'll give me something to look out for. Otherwise I'd just use her.
Does the shooting soldiers in the junk to get female soldiers work? Done it quite a bit, but nothing yet. I am using a tranq sniper though so it might have to be lethal.
Butterfly, although someone got it on mission 40 so maybe I can, or his bugged a little.

Thanks I hoped so.
If in doubt think ' what would kojima do'
*do not follow this advice in real life.
Mission 11,12:
I seem to be good at walking unexpectedly into story missions, as twice now (with 11 and 12) I have headed out thinking I was doing a small side op and that turned into something bigger. Still haven't done 10. Nice I guess to break the monotony.
I didn't have too much trouble with 12 as I lucked up on the way in with a sandstorm and just ran back to the hanger out in the open, and alerts were bound to happen on the way out anyway. Wasn't expecting MG to show up which was a nice surprise, but damn if that wasn't a bit too easy of a "fight" though. Snuck around him pretty easy and he only could withstand a few seconds of the heli guns, I was expecting more.
First use of DDog too and he does a great job at marking enemies. Just wish they showed up on my map instead of just my view.

I play with markers on but ddog erasing your enemy f.o.m.s seems to be an oversight. I doubt they'll patch it but it would be nice.
If you dont like the game you should stop playing, but you gotta keep playing to get
the "real" ending
