Smoke grenades and lots, and lots of ammo clips that I threw around to distract them. Crawl EVERYWHERE, and I eventually got close enough with an opening to fulton the truck and crawl out of there. Pretty exciting.

Thank you for the tips, I'm going to try them now.
29 is really fun when you get the timing down for countering the melee attacks. You can go around just wrecking shit.

I got an S rank doing it my way. But for sure try the other ones. This game is amazingly open.

Are medium durability suppressors much better than low durability ones? After 30-something hours, I'm finally on the verge of being able to build my first gun with a medium suppressor (rank 4 of the default assault rifle), and I'm going to customise that sucker onto everything I've got.
Or just use your default level 0 equipment and helicopters since that eats into your shit on deployment.
Which is goddamn stupid for small benefits. :|
This has been me all week. I need to get the platinum this weekend so I can sleep again
Finally - finally! after two evenings! - beat mission 33.
How I did it:
I think I'm approaching the very end now. About 48% completion.
How I did it:
The trick was to go and raid the other outposts for weapons first before taking on the impossibly well guarded target outpost. Going in there with no weapons at all is a nightmare, those guards have no ammo, and there's only two rocket launchers when you need 3.

Nah,.I only.use the best stuff. The game just throws ways to make.money at you, like I have 4 types of plant I could sell to Max out GMP and precious metal would Max out GMP several times over. 40k on deployment is nothing.

That's it. I'm going to beat this fucking game tonight. I'm on mission
41, so I don't think I have too much more to do. I've done all of the yellow Side Ops, listened to all of the yellow cassettes, and I don't have a butterfly emblem on my thing. So I should be good to go for the True Ending.

Never. I don't take extra items but I'm not going to compromise my main weapons over some piddly GMP savings when the game throws so much money at you.
I'm at this point too, but I still haven't gotten the
butterfly emblem

Check your emblem editor. It should be in there. Remember there are multiple tabs.
Ahh ok, I thought it would be something I have to equip on her. Guess it's there then, will check later.

Oh yeah that is for sure, I've loved this game so far.
Alright, so now that I've slept on it, here's my thoughts about mission 30.
So the real issue isn't that Big Boss is silent for the monologue, the monologue isn't that long. It's the fucking 4 and a half minute sequence where Sins of the Father plays and Big Boss and Skull Face just stare at each other until the song ends. It would've been much better suited to start playing when you actually got inside OKB Zero (since that's a lengthy stealth sequence and the song probably could have finished playing by the time you reached the helipad) much like how Heaven's Divide started playing in Peace Walker when you were in the Missile Base at the end.

beat chapter 1. pretty cool cutscenes by the end but the chapter 2 trailer had some much more interesting looking stuff. pretty underwhelming plot and characters for the chunk of the game tbh but I had a lot of fun with the missions at least.
have a question about chapter 2 though
forreal. that was unusually garbage editing from kojima. i imagine how baller it would have been if they played that song while I went in guns blazing towards the helipad...
have a question about chapter 2 though
how do I unlock the rest of the story and how much is left to get to the end credits? I'm not interested in replaying the missions with different difficulties and modes. Can I just do sideops and it will unlock the scenes and tapes?

I've been calling the "pick-up" option every time I wanted to get back to the helicopter for 30 hours. Didn't realize till today that I can just hit pause and select "Return to ACC". smh

I have a sickness. I'm playing Super Mario Maker on my game pad and letting MGS run for dispatch missions.
I'm lost...
Don't those run no matter if the game is on or not?
If you make them yeah. There is a submachine gun that has level 2 supressor upgrade that the pistol can use, and the final level of the tranq weapon that has infinite supressor.
The online dispatch it does, the other it doesn't.
Listening to We are the Kids in America made the sneaking
in the fort more funny than what it should be. However, I don't feel that it was that long of a sneak session, the patrols are mostly obvious.

Offline ones are a lot less time.

The online dispatch mission do the offline one needs the game running. Mother Base development and weapon research also need the game running.
Kojima might be having a field day with reviewers.
Mission 30 talk
I mean, I guess it isn't that long if you think purely about the distance between the entrance and the helipad, but if you mess up and put them on alert (not that they see you and you're in combat status, but the patrols switch up as a result) then it can definitely be longer. In my case there were like 6 guys all in front of the place where you climb the stairs to the helipad that I had to figure out how to lure away from there without sending the place into full alert.
Do whatever, there specific story related side ops in between story missions. You don't need to grind them out to progress, it's just a weird decision to offload the missions as side ops. They're not even that far off from other missions in terms of presentation either, just a little half-baked.
What?!
Once you hit a checkpoint save, you can just esc/back/options->Return to ACC to skip the wait time on both the heli arriving and flying out.
I am so confused about the last few mission and how I get them and how I make sure I don't do anything that can't be undone.
I just finished 43 (that was fucked yo) and I have 44 and 47 available. Which one is the final story mission? How do I unlock it? Which mission is the one where quiet leaves? how do I unlock that? If I unlock it can I just ignore it or will it force me into it somehow?
Yup, and Checkpoints are pretty easy to notice because they are usually after your fulton extractions reach MB.

Youve made us all facepalm with you
Goddammit
Using it now
Makes wiping up side ops in a single riegon so much faster
You dont even need a vehicle or dhorse now as u keep going to chopper to redeploy right next to the next objective
