Yup, she is awesome and OP as hell. Having her as a buddy is basically playing on easy mode.
By the way, secret medical bay room spoilers:
People keep complaining about the story, but are they listening to the cassette tapes? Treat them like codec conversations and focus on them. Kojima made them optional which I think was a mistake, because the majority of the story is contained in them. There is so much you learn in them. Character's motives and development are all in them.
It's almost like Lost Odyssey who's main story was decent but the optional story via those stories were absolutely amazing.
EDIT - Also I definitely recommend listening to the Hamburger tapes, they are just hilarious.
Just finished the Paz story. So tragic. That last tape got me misty eyed. If someone isn't listening to tapes, that's the number 1 reason to do it.

Any tips for Mission 29 when
?
fighting the Skulls
Probably posted before but Dunkey uploaded a MGSV video. It's damn hilarious!
Minor spoilers involved!

Get D-Walker and ride around the airport just unloading bullets into Skulls. Keep moving, never stand still and you can beat it easily.
- take Quiet
- run away from the old man so he wont be killed
- deal with the skulls while Quiet deals with the zombies

Run into the hanger after marking them, where you look out the window from it, and shoot them with rockets, they won't enter and will just continue shooting you from there. Make sure to dodge the ground / spike attack. Set a supply drop (ideally via flare grenade) every time so it's ready for you to grab quickly,
They are if you want to get the full story of the game.

A general good rule of writing for visual entertainment is show, dont tell. I easily understand the complaints even if I'm not personally as bothered as some people are.
I'm definitely treating the tapes like codecs though so that's why I'm not as bothered. I do with they had little icons showing who was talking and occasionally minor visual aids like MGS3 did.

Easiest strat:
Bring D-walker as a buddy, equip the Battle Dress and wear a riot shield makes you basically invincible.
Just be sure to keep moving D-walker at all times, and avoid the red clouds because those will corrode and destroy the walker.
The default 500 ammo on the minigun should be enough, but you might want to develop the 1500 ammo slot, just to be safe.

Do we know if it's tied to kills or just the storyline?

They aren't, the story progression is tied to the number of missions done, not mandatory mission replays, you can just do side-ops and the story can still progress after you do a number of them.

I just finished Episode 31. Spoilers! Don't click unless you have finished 31!!!!!
Awesome final fight, loved the scene right before Skull Face dies. I kinda was hoping Skull Face would live so he could endure the same pain Kaz and BB would have to live with. Extremely pleased with the game play. Infinitely better than PW already. Hard to say how it ranks among the other MGs for me since I am not done. But I am not a huge fan of the episode format. As much as I love MGSV's open world, I like the more story and linear approach more.
But please for the love of God. Someone tell me that you don't have to grind to get the remaining missions. This game is so fucking good I don't want it to be dragged down PW's shitty designs. I loathe Peace Walker.

Well I'm on Mission 44 and it hasn't changed much for me.

Legit laughed out loud when he's toying with the decoys. "But which one is the real Solid Snake"
Yes nerds, none of them are solid snake, that's not what makes it funny though.
Weird, did you finish the other 2-3 animal side ops before it?
There may also be a side op available that's taking the spot of that side op on the map. So look for any side op that's using that Valley area and clear that.
Hmm okay I'll check to see if any are overriding it.
I usually start the mission with D-Dog and then switch to Quiet if I need her.
I'll be 100% before the multiplayer is using consistently / servers are up. It's a neat idea but it's useless after you're done the game.
Since I play the game essentially tranq only, she's starting to suck for me due to all the body armour and helmets as she's too dumb to shoot legs or arms. She only does headshot which was amazing at first but now useless
Plus with so many things having helicopters now, her shooting at the helicopter with her tranq gun makes it even worse. She doesn't seem to understand that she can't hit past metal.

Unlock what, FOB? I mean, supposedly the first one is free and you can build up to a certain point?
There's apparently a way to unlock the first FOB and skip the tutorial. This prevents other players from invading your base and stealing staff or whatever, but you have to play games with the offline mode.
I just want to know if the system is annoying enough to bother trying to skip it.

If I take a vehicle into the field does it self extract like D-Horse or do I need to go back and get it?
Fuar I love that easter eggs like this are real
It's a clash of clans system where other players can raid it, even when you're offline, and since servers are down, you're rarely able to defend.
I'm just using direct contracts on my S Ranks to hopefully prevent them from being stolen.

I'm pretty sure it self-extracts, but I'm not positive. I keep meaning to take a Jeep with me, then call the chopper when I'm done and park it nearby and watch to see if it activates a Fulton like D.Horse does, but circumstances keep getting in the way (last time some asshole nailed it with a mortar shell
).It self extracts. Just don't leave it in the middle of the road or anything as a passing unit may just destroy it. Always park it to the side.
It self-extracts.
Read above on this page where someone answered the same question I had, but quick answer No.

thanks
and about leaving stuff in the middle of the road, I learned that the hard way with D-Walker lol
I was in the middle of infiltrating and I'm like "what are these robotic wails?"
So I just completed mission 11 and my R&D is only level 8. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Everyone is raving about the variety of ways to complete missions, but I am doing the same thing every time. Essentially I'm stuck with a tranq, auto rifle, and sniper. Almost all of my MB teams are 10 or above and I've constructed quite a few platforms. Every time I reassign my staff the level drops. I've hovered at 7-8 for a while now. Any tips on leveling up R&D quickly? I tend to Fulton almost everyone I tranq.

It'll be a while. Your r&d has to be pretty high. I got it AFTER I had already beaten the game.
Sorry to say that the ponytail is there to stay.
Thanks so much. I despise doing restriction missions.

The only thing I'm jealous about the pc version is the hilarity from custom soundtracks on the helicopter. I'm not huge on the John Cena meme but even that was great.
