I have S ranked every fucking mission except 12. Holy shit, this is getting on my nerves now.

This was the hardest one for me to S rank. Took awhile.

 

[TheSeks]

Apparently, enemies will pop-up out of nowhere if there's too many knocked out in the immediate vicinity.

That's nothing. Have them spawn in as reinforcements during an alert with Quiet's ability. It's pretty creepy.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I seem to have an issue, or I just have no idea why this happens. I have bought Quiet a grade 4 lethal rifle and a grade 5 non-lethal rifle.
The thing is I can't seem to equip her with either of them for some reason. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

When you are at her equip screen pick a gun and then press left or right on the dpad to select which ever one you want. Remember they are upgrades so they don't show up as separate guns.

Is that Backup, Back Down? That one gave me fits.

Has anyone seen stuck white pixels while playing? I've had them show up a few times/places but haven't found out anything about them while googling.

That did the trick, thanks man.

Someone earlier in the thread said you could

immediately turn around and dispose of the nuke to get some heroism points back. So you get the trophy while mitigating your loss.

Nice! It'd be great to get 50k back that'll do.

It might be worth saying that my bond level with her is 100.

On the equip screen before starting a mission, check your/her gear. Press left or right to select the gear level (stars).

how do I deal with the four fucking Skull Unit assholes smashing the truck down? They pop up IMMEDIATELY whenever you get close

Lure them away from the truck and then

The lag with starting the game and opening the idroid is beginning to really annoy me :/ is this slow for everyone else?

I just got my first S rank while casually showing this game off to somebody and barely paying attention. Haha.

It's so lame!

 

[Serpens007]

As far as I know there are only 2 doors you can go in at motherbase.

Spoiler

Med Bay and R&D lab

But those doors stay with a red light and closed until you "trigger" them.

There are several other doors that have those red lights. Maybe there are more things we need to discover inside mother base?

So I just beat her on extreme and get the sniper wolf costume unlocked for her, then she leaves the base and I wont be able to use her again? Umm, k?

Whichever idiot decided to link every idroid menu to some sort of online interaction should quit the industry.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Mission 16 is the worst fucking mission in this game so far and I hate it. Fuck the fucking truck, fuck the fucking Skull Unit, fuck everything, it's the opposite of fun.

I don't get why people have had trouble with this. It's an easy S-Rank/Perfect Stealth.

 

[TitusTroy]

are Side-Ops missions you've completed (checkmark next to them) supposed to constantly pop back up again for you to do again or is this a bug?

 

[Messypandas]

Any tips for beating Mission 29? I'm getting beat like crazy.

Stand on the roof

People saying that this game's boss fights are better than MGS4's are lunatics.

Nahh, it's the mission where

Spoiler

you have to rescue Huey and then run away from Sahelanthropus to your chopper

 

[Glass]

Spoiler

The timing of it is bizarre regardless. The only way to avoid losing her right after spending a bunch of GMP on the costume is to artificially delay the storyline. Kind of fits in with the rest of the storyline weirdness and pacing issues.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Well, the only one I've done is Quiet and that is way better than Crying Wolf. Hell, it's better than the Sniper Wolf battle by a wide margin.

It's the only good boss fight in the game. Also, it's the only real boss fight in the game that feels like a Metal Gear boss fight. All the others are brain-dead easy with only one way to beat them: you shoot your most powerful weapon until their health is depleted.

It's a close race...

Spoiler

Sahelanthropus and Quiet and Sniper Skulls are better than anything in MGS4 but MGS4 has much more with more variety.

anyone know what happens if you dont shower? The game says you feel refreshed when you do.

Only thing that's depressing is

Spoiler

the lack of boss fights, because the ones that are there are pretty damn good.

Honestly besides some of the bosses in like MGS1 and 3, and the final boss fights in 2 and 4, the boss fights in this series are generally pretty bad.

You get stinky and a funny cutscene with Ocelot. But gameplay ramifications, you smell and the guards can smell you apparently. Also, I think showering temporarily increases passive abilities like the timer on your reflex mode and your aiming, though I'm not 100% sure.

I think I read that the other doors with red lights are used for FOB mission extractions or something like that.

Don't shower, don't change clothes and avoid the rain to find out!

Or read this...

Spoiler

It gives you a cut scene where you return to motherbase stinking and you get splashed with a bucket of water, or if you're with Quiet then you take a shower with her.

if you're with Quiet then you take a shower with her.

If you get bloodied up then your max health is lowered until you shower.

So many things about this game. Didn't know this! Thanks.

Just completed mission 37 and I feel like I've totally missed something:

Spoiler

Who the hell is Ralph? Was he one of the kids? Kaz just told me that some of them have gone missing and it might be because of Ralph's death but I can't for the life of me figure out who Ralph was.

I think I have an idea: wasn't one of the kids crushed by something on Mother Base. That something totally not being Eli's doing.

Was that Ralph?

 

[wiibomb]

So.. I just started the game yesterday and I was doing a side op to extract a person, but when I made the extraction I forgot the sandstorm and it failed, what now? Do I have to redo it?

No big deal, some shitty items I think.

 

[Foffy]

Some of the Outer Ops seem really hard. I'm getting S rank ones where I am constantly failing. What can I do to raise my odds if winning? My odds are at best in the 50% range.

Is it like PW in that the gear you unlock affects their effectiveness in these ops?

I haven't got further than Episode 18, so I wouldn't know.

Yup. I turned down the in-game brightness all the way because of it. It's almost pitch black now in non-lit areas. So good.

I never got anything to improve my chances. Some of them I had sub 50%. Some of the final ones give you A LOT of resources, so I think they are purposely lower odds.

So did I but it's still much too bright imo.
