That plot point was already established in Metal Gear 2!

Actually, speaking of that: anyone else getting vibes that Afghanistan and Zaire are basically next-gen stand-ins for Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land? A friend mentioned that the other night, and I felt it was an appropriate observation.

 

[Soulflarz]

Sorry about that! I think I heard it in a cassette like really early on. Somewhere before Mission 10.

Oh okay

I meant sad at the actual detail, tbh, it didn't really seem like a plot spoiler. I fear any actual plot spoilers are things I guessed before I started. Meaning I only actively have guessed one or two things, and I think my guess is correct.

So I'm going to spoiler tag this as end game spoilers.

Spoiler

Venom=/=Big boss, because the timeline makes no damn sense to me if he is, and the fact I doubt kojima is retconning how BB appeared in MGSV.

Been saying this since Phantom Pain was announced, and seeing as nothing disproves it yet, please don't click that if you haven't beaten the game. That's just my assumption, but yeah.

 

[Nuke Soda]

20 missions in and I really like the game. A few missions here and there I don't like (follow this dude around until he takes you to the hostage/boss missions aren't great), but I really like it and am I crazy or is Quiet kind of awesome?

 

[DasFool]

Where are missions 45 and 46? I did 44 and it went straight to unlocking 47.

If anything, Mother Base is a stand-in for Outer Heaven. Zanzibar is another beast entirely and located a little more towards China.

FUCCCCCCCCCCCXXXCCCCCCCCKKKK MISSSION 18

im fucking sooo sick of cool stealth missions turning to fucking bullshit.. -_____-

fuck those prisoners... i got all the way there and of course it gets fucking day time... i literally hate the night/day in this game i want it to be fucking night time ALL WAYS.... I DONT want to have to hide somewhere and smoke a stoggy with

Spoiler

kids/prisoners

all around me.... that dont listen to shit...man o man when you can do a mission 100% stealth its amazing but im really getting tried of it going loud when i have no control over it... ep 18 was fun until the very end.. these missions are getting on my last damn nerve....

Just get them to wait once and run ahead with Quiet covering you. You can still use your Tranq with one hand -- that should be more than enough for the small handful of guys patrolling the area.

 

[Tecl0n]

Wait just a motherfucking second. Tape acquired at the end of Mission 31:

Spoiler

you are telling me that the cobras' abilities were "parasite" based? fuck off.

Yeah, THIS. I held back with the kids and had Quiet do her thing. That plus my Tranq gun and everything with smooth at low volume.

Same happened with me except I did 47 right away and the rest of the missions unlocked afterwards.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Spoiler

She doesn't really appear, its the mammal pod.

Only seen in side ops so far for me.

It happens around the halfway point, at least the introduction of that particular plot point. If you've played Peace Walker, you know what to expect there, though.

Yeah,

Spoiler

I figured something like this would happen when they mention that Dr. Strangelove got something out of metal gear zeke and took it away.

 

[daveo42]

Consider investing into armor and heavier weapons. It doesn't get easier.

What grade level weapons should I be running with? I'm sitting at grade 3 atm.

A grade 3 or 4 RPG will do you good m8. For your hip anything automatic is fine. Some people go with grenade launchers.

 

[Mothman91]

Did they patch it so ps controls are on screen instead of xbox?

 

[FtsH]

Just finished Quite ending....OK Kojima, you got me on her plot, you win, I feel ashamed.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

How do you unlock side op 48?

Anyone?

 

[SandMan2233]

lmfaooooo

I've seen one labelled

Spoiler

Snatch Blaster

. Now there's someone who should be ashamed of their words and deeds, hahaha.

I think that was the issue. That episode 16

Spoiler

transport would explode from a fairly strong wind and the Skull forces hung around a bit too close for the RPG.

 

[Soulflarz]

Whats with all these lethal weapons? All you need is a hush puppy ;-;

Or whatever they call it now. May you rest in peace hush puppy.

 

[Hasemo]

I'm not there yet, but I would be grateful if someone could confirm this way of unlocking mission 46:

Spoiler

- Clear all yellow story missions in chapter 2
- Clear all yellow sideops
- Many guides mention getting MB to a certain level, I think most of my platforms are 2/4 or 3/4 now, with the R&D team being around lv 39. Are there specific requirements for this?

 

[Korosenai]

Can someone explain the Obtainable Skills/Blueprints section of the missions for me?

If for example mission 10 has four things there, does that mean I can rescue and get up to 4 of those specialists? Why are some of the things highlighted while others are greyed out? And if I miss something during the first run of a mission, can I go back and do the mission again (Ex. If I missed the transportation specialist in mission 10, can I replay it to get him)?

 

[Tecl0n]

Basically 60s nanomachines, son.

That's a pretty accurate analogy. Damn it.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

When do I get Quiet's

Spoiler

XOF Uniform?

 

[Aquavelvaman]

What is the best way to disable communications equipment etc on a mission? C4 from a distance? Will rifle shots eventually disable it? Do you eventually develop a quiet method?

 

[Sub_Level]

I think that was the issue. That episode 16

Spoiler

Yeah for that one I sprinted away and they follow you.

 

[0racle]

Hey guys are there any missable trophies?

 

[Soulflarz]

Hey guys are there any missable trophies?

Not that I can see
Only 3 I can't answer right now
Hero, Deterrence, Disarmament
Doubt hero is, deterrence/disarmament might be an option A/B thing in which case reload and you should be good.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Any good missions or areas for getting Fuel Resources? I'm set on everything for upgrading except those. I have barely any now. (up to Mission 31 for reference).

 

[DrBo42]

My Big Boss is eternally clean. Can you not get smelly in the sneaking suit? Seems you'd reek after a single mission in that thing. The rubber really seals in the flavor.

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

Has anyone gotten to the point where you can play Extreme, Total Stealth, Subsistence?
I don't really get it, are they just mandatory replay missions? It seems weird to have "difficulty" options that aren't optional.

Plus there is an achievement for doing them all. Seem weird to have that if you don't have a choice.

They're optional. Unless you really want the S-rank, Mission and task completion trophies.

Yeah the second half of the game is a little incomplete. But the missions themselves are pretty fun. If you want to move the story along focus mainly on the yellow Missions and Side Ops.

 

[Ōkami]

Post mission 44 spoilers.

Spoiler

Huey's tape are very interesting, I'm very conflicted with that character

 

[Finalow]

mission 20 is supposed to be

Spoiler

a BOSS battle?

That was quite garbage.

I mean, I just

Spoiler

fired a rocket on him, then the chopper arrived literally 20 cm from his face. I went in and mission was over. much WOW

the thing was I use nvg too much i guess and it got day time in the worst spot ever... plus after getting like a little way down the river they found out the prisoners excaped... i just HATE SHIT like that i got their with out being seen but the game forces you to stop taking your time and being patience and thats what i like most about the game... i really dislike daytime in this game... i wish i just stayed nighttime forever if you pick it at the start...


im seriously about to go full letal and fucking kill everyone... but i get locked in at the end of the mission because i foltoned some awesome a+ soldiers in the begining so i cant restart the mission... i really need to only folton on side ops...

man i cant fucking wait to get quiet a silcener...

It's crazy how many solutions there are. I used

C4 on the water towers to stall him until I flew away.

huh?
Anyone know?

Mines permanent though ;3

 

[matrix-cat]

Question: so snake and ocelot go from being rivals in snake eater, to being buddies in MGSV. How did this happen?

Ocelot is hardcore in love with Big Boss. Their unrequited bromance began when Big Boss schooled him on his shooting technique, recommended a revolver and then CQC slammed the shit out of him, and the rest is history. All throughout Snake Eater Ocelot's slowly warming up to this badass soldier he can't seem to kill, and by the end he's basically forgotten all loyalty to his mission in order to bro out with Big Boss some more. He chases him and Eva down just as they're escaping so they can have their final duel (and a sweet cartwheeling CQC fight), and Ocelot can ask him his name so he has something to whisper to himself in the dark at night [citation needed].

Yeah I saw that one of the objectives was

Spoiler

"Defeat the Man on Fire"

and I wasn't sure how to do that. Your solution works well for that.

 

[Finalow]

there was a pool? Didn't even notice that.

anyhow, didn't they cut off from the game the battle gear? Yet you get a cutscene about it.

also I have a yellow marker on my MB about the battle gear hangar or whatever, but I can't really find the place.

Just finished mission 28, best mission yet.

Er, its down below the main level.

And yeah, small pool. Reservoir, whatever.

 

[Skyball Paint]

Wish I realized sooner that recruitment ops=quick cash

They only last about 6-12 minutes, and you get like 20000-40000 GMP for each one.

Basically I have the cool guys doing crazy action movie stuff that takes like an hour, meanwhile the lame D-rankers are going 'round the world waving "BIG BOSS WANTS YOU" posters, which is extremely profitable, somehow.

 

[Soulflarz]

How do spoilers work? Do we tag them?

Tag everything. Especially if it's about snake and the fact he turns into Ness or something. (Oh wait, you wouldn't get that joke...)

 

[Jintor]

That's a pretty accurate analogy. Damn it.

I don't mind it that much. (regarding powahs)

Spoiler

They do a fairly alright job of being like "Nature's fucking weird, imagine if we MagicalMilSim'd the shit out of it".

It's the same thing when people are like "Oh yeah zombies could be real because check out this fucking weird fungi". Like, nah. But... maybe...?"

In the end, as usual, when you explain something it loses something. Oh well!
