The peacekeepers one? It's fucking annoying. I failed it once already, the current attempt will expire in another hour of play time. Fingers crossed. 50%!!!

Not a clue. I hit her twice and she bombed off running, then I followed her to finish her off, when I found her, facing away from me, she was standing in the river, doing a dance, with a rainbow ending at her location. I shit you not. I'm not on drugs either. I actually approached her, thinking that was what happened before you recruit her, but then she saw me and scarpered off again!
That RNG combined with the dispatch time is brutal, don't like that part. Although I personaly got lucky enough to have finished all Dispatch missions before I even got Battle Gear.

Pray to RNG-sus more.
I went through all the yellow dispatch missions with 56% win probability, and beat them all on the first go. Got the trophy yesterday.

Man I had the most amazing Mission 9 ever, where you are tasked to take out 3 Soviet commanders. Ocelot gave me their route. So I galloped my way to their meeting place and on my way, there was a security outpost. Suddenly a dust storm came roaring. I quickly went in ans got intel out of one of the guards there, subduing a few other. Got more pinpoint info from the info.
1st commander. I run ahead of his route and plant a C4 in the road. Boom.
2nd commander. I galloped to his route, then hid and waited for him to drive towards me. I immediately open fire killing him and his guard. The driver surrenders. Fultoned.
3rd commander. I do a perfect sneak in the base where he is staying. Make it all the way into the building, suddenly get spotted by him! Hell breaks lose. Tranqed him and started running, suddenly realized that I need to go back and kill him. So I go back again, get to his body and fulton his ass. Scram out of the base and I'm done.
Now, this is my very first crack at this mission and I just aced it. Felt like Big Boss indeed. I have the video saved too, I might upload it. B ranking tho

if you listen to all the tapes,
you'll get something, but it will probably not live up to any of your expectations thanks to the Konami Kuts

It is an assassination mission. The idea is to kill your target. Why would I want to take away someone I was paid to kill? Makes no sense.
Besides, I get enough recruits joining me of their own volition so I have no reason to abduct everyone I come across, seems redundant.
As I said, I was never required to take more than 1 person at a time so I just put him on my horse and then extract us both at the same time.

Keep playing story missions as soon as you can.

Jesus Christ, I can't take all this filler shit anymore.
I wish I could just play the story without doing anything else.

Diamond Dogs was hired to kill the target yeah, but why not have him join DD and tell the client he was killed?
You're going to come across enemies on the field that will add a lot to your Mother Base team so always be prepared to extract soldiers.

MGSV late game question (mission 37-40)
I got the MOF's remains, watched Quiet's interrogation scene, Code Talker talking to parasite scene and the necklace scene... but I don't have any new missions... how do I continue?

I just extract the specialists which I am supposed to extract. I don't think I need to recruit rank-and-file Russian soldiers into my base if all they are going to do is take up space for more valuable assets coming later on.
Also, it is really tedious to put everyone to sleep and send them to the base when gun combat is so much fun in this game. Bursting into a room and getting 4 or 5 reflex headshots...mmmmmmmmmm.

Do side ops and listen to some tapes.
You don't seem to be a person who understands how espionage works, and what "high value targets" mean! Just another soldier who follows orders. How disappointing!
Maybe your mindset will change when you upgrade your binoculars scanner enough and you can actually see how great some of the soldiers on the field are, especially the main targets. Mmmmm. Soldier Pokemon....
They don't permanently take up a slot, you can dismiss people if you run out of room.

Nothing more satisfying then making a ghost town out of a big outpost at night, everyone fultoned with no traces left and with power cut off (+ suprise claymore in front of the generator). The gameplay finally clicked now, everything is second nature and I'm impressed with the shit I can pull out on the fly with my buddies and equipement.
Immaculate conception of a game, that is all.

but the gunplay and the feeling of lining up that perfect shot from a nearby hill is just too much for me to resist. I love that. Or sneak in, do a nice throat slice and sneak out. These activities are so much more fun than collecting portraits.
I know, but I enjoy killing them more than collecting them
It's not a ghost town if there are no ghosts to haunt the place. That is when the term "to ghost someone" comes into play
I got the rain scene last night. Up to now I had no problem with
Quiet, but that scene just made me face palm. That was just overdone. Wish that had been cut, because it really is there for no reason other than to turn her into some sexualized object. Her prancing around in less clothes didn't have anything to do with anything.

Totally understandable, this game feels just as good when you're a stealth god or a Bourne infused terminator.
Did you find it weird that she walks away with her boots as she dissapears, but the boots don't dissapear?
I am afraid to say after that scene i am ashamed of Kojimas words and deeds. Also... Faith restored after i saw that dreamy Ocelit be in that cutscene instead of Quiet.

You can do this with tranquilizers and rubber bullets though. Your mother base team will begin to suffer later on if you're not capturing some of the elite soldiers you'll encounter in the field. The slower you level up your various teams the slower you'll be able to upgrade and obtain new gear.
But yeah it is hard to resist the guns blazing approach sometimes

You should unlock the rubber bullet assault rifle.

Play it the way you want.
When you realise you need to upgrade Mother Base a lot down the line, you're free to re-play those missions again and capture all the HVTs instead of killing them. All the options are still there.
What a game.

Oh it's fantastic to do that. I just find these high value targets are high value for a reason, and most of the time they are. You get more out of the targets by extracting them since they give you info after interrogation at mother base. There's extra dialogue and everything. You're building an army not just doing wet work.

I feel like I can do the whole game with just the basic assault rifle, Adam's pistol and C4. I don't feel like I need anything else and if I do, I can just find it in the field.
Oh yeah, true

It might feel like that now but you will struggle. What mission are you at?
Yeah I found that weird.

The vast, vast majority of equipment in the game cannot be obtained in the field.

that's exactly how I'm feeling about the fultons lol, since peace walker the fulton is just another mean to hoard for me, like my hoarding addiction in pokemon...
these commanders have amazing skills too, like some kind of legendary or maxed IV pokemon...
I might have a problem

I dunno, something like 3 or 6
What do you need? A gun and something to take care of armoured targets. Both of these can be found on soldiers. Or at least I hope you can find RPGs on soldiers, I am pretty sure I saw some.
Yeah, that's what I figured. Luckily I only did a couple Target Practice bits on MB before I decided to turn it off and unplug myself.
Thanks!

Yes! So I can kill without any repercussions in side Ops. Thanks for the info guys.
There are some repercussions, most of them very minor, I would kill whoever you want.
Hero points I think, might be it.
I would be interested to know if/when you hit a wall with this strategy. Some upgrades to equpment/tools require teams to be at certain limits, RPGs and the like are not readily available (and some missions will require you to have a plentiful supply, more than 1 can carry at a time).
At some point just waiting on volunteers will require a lot of grinding. It would work most definitely (not sure if some specialties are available to volunteers) but I would think an exorbitant amount of time/side ops/dispatch missions.
yep, i've been using this asshole to get the trophy out of the way but it's so fucking slow to level him up

So when I play this game after mission 31, will I see a higher occurrence of A+ soldiers who I can Fulton to beef up my staff?
You get to customize his look like DD I think.

If you fail the yellow dispatch missions (odds aren't looking great on some of the S rank ones) do you lose your battle gear?

All right. I will send you a PM when I hit the wall.
