Guys, how many episodes are there in the first chapter? I'm down to episode 6, going to start 7th. Also, how many chapters?

 

[Groof]

Good... i would recommend getting the white version tho. With the Shinkawa art. It looks better. Tho the dark one looks cool. It also includes a giant map.

It has a lot of history, lore and concept art and what not of the game, and its all segmented to avoid too many spoilers.

Best to look at after you play the game. Unless you want to answer a question.

Tho some mechanics have been interesting to read in the book.

There's a... white one? I can only find the black one. Do you have any links??

 

[DarkChronic]

Wow. You guys werent kidding about Mission 45. What an absolute joke. Need some serious help here.

Spoiler

I keep dying at the exact same spot. I get to the point where a sandstorm happens (I would imagine that happens for everyone) where Quiet uses her body to distract the enemy. I can hear Ocelot say the enemy is almost finished, and then a chopper comes.

Now it says I am supposed to distract the enemy to save Quiet, but there is a fucking sandstorm so I cant see shit, even with NVG. And the second I step out from behind cover, I get one shotted by a tank I cant see. Every time. No matter if I am behind cover or not. The one shot will hit the front of my cover, no matter how far back I am from it, and still kill me with splash damage.

Seriously what the fuck is this?

 

[Pungza]

Do you ever get the triumph motorbike that was in the trailers?

 

[Mister Negative]

Okay, endgame mission question: (no story stuff)

Spoiler

i just unlocked mission 46, but not yet 45. Should i not play 46 until I've played 45 or does it not matter?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Yeah okay. Nuts to FOB. My security lvl team went down from 32 to 18 because some guy went around killing as well as taking some of my other staff. It wouldn't be a problem if you could only invade when you're online (in fact, imo that would increase the tension factor on invasions by a ton) or if some offline items didn't need a security level pre-requisite.

I keep trying, but I just don't think invasion multiplayer types are my thing.

[Minamu]

Do I have to progress to a certain mission before I start finding soldiers with stats over A++? My scope is maxed out (S++) but I rarely see anything over A+ anyway. I just unlocked FOB missions if that matters.

Basically make sure you utilize Fire and Air Support as much as possible, and NEVER fire from the same spot. Also try take advantage of the tanks reloading their guns when they fire.

It's not a surefire way, but it really helped when I finally got that shit done.

 

[dangeROSS]

I'm still pretty early in the game. Things are starting to click for me a bit and I'm getting to the point where I feel more comfortable sneaking around and capturing folks.
I also learned my soldiers back at base find my antics improve their morale:

maybe i am confusing this with the metal case. hmm... let me check.

 

[usp84]

How can i make Quiet tranq everyone at will? Right now i can only zoom on a target and command her to shoot

I just want to let her tranq everyone she sees without pointing at each enemy seperately

[Real Hero]

Seriously what the fuck is this?

This is the only mission I got stuck on, here's what I did

Spoiler

Make sure you have a rocket launcher and the battle armour on you. The first part up until the checkpoint is easy with just the rocket launcher, then after that I ran around like madman and fultoned the next 3/4 vehicles once I knew exactly where they would appear. Then for the last few I hid in the building and called multiple airstrikes until i had only the chopper left to deal with.

 

[Cannon Goose]

Seriously though, what's the deal with seeing everything this game has to offer? I'd rather not miss anything so if someone could explain it to me without any spoilers if possible that would be great.

 

[usp84]

The cover me command I believe.

I dont have that command yet. I guess it appears when the bond level is higher then

 

[MadClacker]

I'd like to use Quiet more in missions, but it seems like most of the time, she ends up buggering off to a different part of the map and I never see her for the rest of the mission. I can't issue any commands.

What do I do in these situations?

Yes, the cover fire and grenade shot abilities are based on her bond level

I don't understand : when I logged today, the game entered a "tutorial" mode that forced me to build a fob, and now it want me to visit it for training...

Before, I could just ignore it but it forced me to build it.... how can I disable invasions ?

You can't disable them. The only thing you can do is always play offline and never create the FOB.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

The game entered a tutorial mode that forced me to build a FOB... I don't want to be invaded... I read that you could opt out...

Can you unbuild FOBs ? Are you forced to have one ? How can I prevent invasions ?

Thank you very much.

You can't disable them. The only thing you can do is always play offline and never create the FOB.

So if you play online you are forced to have one... burt you can be invaded even if you are offline right ? No way to prevent ressources losses ?

So just by playing normally it's not possible to miss anything important?

 

[SixStringPsycho]

Okay guys I have a few questions regarding the game. Does this game has any boss battles like previous games before? I'm finding the game is like do this and pick up this guy, kill this guy and I don't see anything like story worthy.

 

[Edzi]

So earlier in the thread I saw people talking about having to equip a butterfly emblem if I want to keep Quiet, and also something about not being able to get a platinum/all missions if I don't "lose" Quiet. I have no idea what any of this means or is referring to, so can someone fill me in without spoiling anything?

You can't disable them. The only thing you can do is always play offline and never create the FOB.

Wait, so how does this work exactly? I made my FOB when the game told me to so that I could deploy more teams at a time, but I immediately went offline after making it. I play offline for the most part, but log in for a few seconds just to get my daily reward. Does this mean that people can invade me while I'm offline and then I'd get the losses while logging back in? I just assumed that the FOB invasion stuff would be off while I was offline.

I'm 31 missions in, and so far, the answer is

no. The closes I've gotten to boss battles are fights with the Skull unit and a very Peace Walker-esque metal gear fight.

 

[Groof]

Whaaaat! I have the Shinkawa steelbook... this would be an amazing complement. Need to dig deeper and find this. Otherwise I'll have to settle for the black one.

It's a Metal Gear game, there is always a chance to miss something. Haha.

Just visit MB sometimes. Don't always shower. Switch things up.

Yes
Correct
Not unless you have the PC version. Then you have a workaround.

I wish there was a way to stay offline in MGSV without having to manually go to the options and disconnect. Also, bump:

I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand. I was locked at a screen that told me to buy waters. Could not return to previous screens.

So, if I get it right :

-> If you are online you HAVE at some point to build a FOB
-> once it's built, you are subject to invasions, even when you are offline
-> You cannot disable this, so if you stop playing for 1 month you may return to terrible losses of ressources


Is that correct ?

will have you build an FOB.
-> once it's built, you are subject to invasions, even when you are offline
I don't think so. If you are offline you can't be invaded. You have to be online. (i am checking on this tho. )
-> You cannot disable this, so if you stop playing for 1 month you may return to terrible losses of ressources
I am not sure this is how it works. But i'll look it up.

From the guide.

FOBs are essentially additional Mother Bases that you can develop to speed up your progression in the management metagame, particularly to acquire resources at a much higher rate.
You must be online to build FOBs. Your first FOB is free of charge. Additional FOBs must be purchased with MB coins acquired through micro transactions with real life money.
For each FOB that you won, you can send two more squads of recruits on Combat Deployment assignments, in addition to the default two offered by MB.
For every FOB deck that you build you also extend the staff capacity of your entire base.

doesn't have any notes on it whether you have to be online to do this. SO it is part of the story as far as i am aware.

It's can always be invaded - even offline. So if you get invaded, the next time your game connects to the network, it will sync the FOB and record any losses.
Great system, right??
