yup, patch came out last night
Ah okay! Thx!!
Probably will still avoid using her for those, just to be safe.
Finally broke down after visiting quiet in her cell after every freaking mission and looked up when she unlocked. Only have one more mission to go. After that I will have all buddies, and cargo fulton is now researching so hopefully things will open up and I will get out of this slump I'm in now.
didn't read the rest of the post, but I made this mission last night and it was amazing... I was almost losing the mission because they were already arriving to the final point, then (mission 9 spoilers)
I suddenly discovered an anti-air vehicle in one of the outposts, I said "Why not?" and rushed with it to the tanks and I blew EVERYTHING with the gun in it...
that's actually awesome, now I don't have to worry about quiet

Just had my first encounter with Quiet and I'm in a spot of bother.
Cheers in advance.
I won the snipe-off but totally can't find where she was sniping from and fell, thus I can't recruit her! Is there any way round this, or is she automatically transported to Mother Base?
Cheers in advance.
He is pretty match useful for this, I managed to get back to back S ranks on two missions thanks to his awesomeness as he'll mark any nearby enemy.

Is there any other headgear for Snake to have beside bandana and infinity bandana ?
Same goes for diamond dogs soldiers. They only have balaclava and it's upgraded variants.
And for some reason Snake can't use balaclava and soldiers can't use bandana sigh.

best buddy. just don't blow him up like i did earlier.
he discovers enemies quite easily, I now don't have to worry about scouting the area beforehand. I still get nervous he won't sense one of the enemies, though
I cannot make any armor for him yet, but I saw there was an option to make one to kill or stun enemies, that will come a lot useful when I can make it..
now that you say this, can buddies die? I accidentally got hit by a tank while I was in D Horse, but he awoke later and followed me
Pretty sure she ends up in the center of the ruins out in the open, search near the middle of the area for her.

For me he got (~Mission 12 spoilers)
stomped on by the Soviet Metal Gear.

When do I get a technospinning specialist or whatever the heck that's needed for DDog's second armor?

I think it's mission 8 or something, check the missions screen in the acc it tells you whoo you can aquire in each mission. It's a guy in a truck unless I'm thinking of the wrong mission/specialist.

Thanks I've searched everywhere but can't find her
I'm wondering if I should restart the side mission.

Might be worth it if you can't find her
but here's a pro tip to beat her, just call in mother base drops on her location to knock her out super quick.

Call in the a chopper to that area, she should be about 10 feet in front of door where it lands.

A wise decision. I wish I would have done the same. Post-mission 45 spoiler:

I've most recently done mission 12, I guess I have to redo 8...which one is 8 again? I take it this is some random soldier I have to fulton out?
It might be, I haven't looked into that yet.

Would I recieve anything special for completing the game without killing anyone? And does Quiet killing people affect that?

Oh no! Jesus, that was his first mission, the poor pup. It just said that he got "critically injured" or something and he wasn't with me anymore, but he was back at Mother Base when I went back there.

The one with lots of vehicles to destroy, there's a couple of trucks with optional people in that Kaz tells you about. I might be wrong about which ones so check the top of the mission select screen to see what specialists appear.
Oh my, what a way to start lol.

Is that the one with three tanks and then you have to track them back to the base to destroy the third tank and then kill or extract the commander or is that the other one that I most likely keep avoiding cause it says "recommended weapon missiles" and I'm still holding out on getting the chopper missiles cause that shit is just taking fucking forever to be unlocked. If it's that one would having that recoilless rifle thing and an RPG be enough?

Mission 3 question (eliminate the Spetsnaz commander):
Is it possible to
Is it possible to
fulton the commander? Attempted an extract by fulton, Miller immediately came over the radio and confirmed the commander had been killed. "Extraction Failed" flashed on the screen. I know fulton isn't a guarantee, but had a 90% success chance - not sure if it was just back luck, or you're not intended to be able to capture him in the first place.

I haven't posted in this thread for a long time. I now finished the game and got the full ending, 116 hours in.
On one hand this is one of the best playing games of all time. It ranks near the top in terms of overall gameplay. It is an absolute joy to play no matter the activity. 116 hours in and I still love replaying missions and just messing around.
But even though this is the best playing MGS game it's not even in my top 3 MGS games. I am not a story guy, I am gameplay first all the way BUT there are two parts to the gameplay. first the mechanics which this game is perect in. Second is what kind of situations the game creates for those mechanics. MGS games never had a problem with the latter, this is a seris built on incredible surprise gameplay moments and boss battles. Stuff outside the norm, moments that make you jump out of your seat with excitement. Boss battles that push the limits of how you approach the gameplay. And the pacing in nearly all MGS games were perfect with the story feeding right into those exciting moments on a consistent basis.
MGSV is missing a lot of that. There are too many long gaps of no story or no exciting moments at all. Yes you can create your own moments but I don't think that is a replacement for a well designed scripted game moment. When the game does have those moments it's a 10, mission 11 and 12, mission 20, mission 31, mission 45, those felt like metal gear. If the game was like those missions most of the time it would maybe be my favorite game ever.

Other "eliminate x" missions will pass if you fulton, so I don't see why it wouldn't work here. Usually during the briefing Miller will say "it would be a shame to lose such talent..." and so on, hinting that you can fulton.
Fulton failure might just be a weird corner case because even if they die via fulton you still eliminated them so...

So it's the 3 tank mission then? That actually isn't a hard mission now that I know what to expect from it, plus I've got access to mines now and have the cargo fulton which means I can hopefully fulton a tank. I think I took out the last tank by calling in an airstrike if I'm not mistaken from mother base, it was actually quite fun ducking out after fultoning that commander. So I guess I have to check to see which one I haven't done later this week. I want that battle armor for that dog...and horse and it's probably expensive as fuck now that I'm think about it.
sometimes happens unfortunately, you have to develop the fulton more to avoid that (of course you are still pretty early for that, luck I guess)
yes, it is possible to extract
the "killing targets,"
jeebus, I need to complete the main missions faster then. only up to 17 last night.
It's a shame that a game that is this much fun to play has such forgettable story and characters and repetitive tasks. I made the mistake of doing a ton of sideops and then found half the story missions were glorified side ops because of it. Just my opinion of course, like others have said best playing MGS game but I enjoyed 1-4 more for the overall experience.

Just one more S-Rank needed - Episode 42[Extreme] Mettalic Archea - breezed through this first time with D-Walker but so far this is a nightmare - especially considering I don't have Quiet anymore, I was a fool
To S Rank:
Equip the Brennan sniper rifle and go to the top roof of the tower. Skulls will hardly ever come up there and will just wander in patterns down below for you to snipe their faces. Use decoys if you want to get them out in the open for some easy shots.
I just used D-Walker for transport, and decoys for diversions to fulton every vehicle.
S'd on the first try.
