Here's an easy way to get an S Rank on Red Brass (My own video)

I think I got super lucky with D-Dog's attack, the other guard was going down to pick up his weapon while D-Dog went to get him loool. It's a great strat though, not sure on its consistency... think it depends on the AI but if you wanted to get an S on it and couldn't think of a strat the above should work.

Thats his sneaking mode, but try holding the square button (or X on Xbone) when you're on wheels.
 
Could anyone tell me where to find that blonde Mother Base soldier that people keep posting? I fancy shaking things up when I'm doing the Side-Ops and the only woman I have available seems to be in dire need of a new pair of lungs with the way she wheezes.

Anyone else on PS4 never receeive the "Automatic Mining" information pop ups while playing? I see it on streams and YouTube videos but just assume it's working fine on other versions of the game.

I think I got mine on the White Mamba missions.

Asking one more time:

Can I safely sell all the machine guns/mortars/AA guns that I fulton away, or do they actually protect MB/FOB?

If one of your FOB platforms has a second deck, you can use mortars on the first to attack an invader without having to stick your head out and use a sniper rifle.

I've only done this a couple times so I can't say for sure if it's worth it. I would just keep a couple on hand.

I don't think there is a way to specifically get a certain female soldier, they're randomly assigned as prisoners in missions and side ops. I have the blonde soldier as well but she was a shitty drug specialist instead.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
I believe they're in your base in the FOB missions. Haven't been invaded more than once for 30 seconds so i can't totally confirm. They don't serve any purpose late game though.

Maybe you should ask in the FOB thread.

Thanks, I thought I'd need to do so at some point. I actually also had R&D make Snake's sneaking suit. I haven't equipped it yet.

The amount of little details in this game just astounds me (yes, I did check out the thread about this lol).

I wanted to check that thread, but I'm too paranoid of spoilers right now...
I have killed at least 6 sheep by horse (intentionally, as one of the males attacked me and this game is all about revenge) and mobbed the hell out of my crew using decoys and smoke, because I couldn't tolerate their submissive behaviour any more. I'm already a demon.

I only killed one animal intentionally, but some poor sheeps died because of D Horse.

Once a Wolf attacked me out of fucking nowhere, naturally the motherfucker died..

I'm not still a demon, but I might getting there lol

Does your bond level with buddies ever go down? I replayed a mission hoping to max out the horse but it seemed to fill me back up to where I was before. Is it because I didn't end up getting a higher grade/score on the mission?
hurting them or dismissing them during a mission lowers it

I will say that I wish the Mother Base didn't suck ass. It's such a cool concept and it's completely wasted. I want to walk through the dorms and see the soldiers doing stuff. I want to be able to check in with important figures like Ocelot. I want to see troops training on the combat deck, see docs operating on the med platform, etc. Mostly, I want the ridiculous amount of space in between platforms to be removed.

so Mission 4 is bugged for me. I can replay the mission as many times I want, get as many S ranks I can yet whenever I get back to the select screen it'll show up as a - rank. Now this means I'm unable to get both the 'Get all S rank' trophy and the 'Get all key item' trophy, as both require this mission to be S rank. Now the only way to fix this is by restarting, however seeing as I've spent more then 90 hours on this game, got pretty much every mission on S rank and done all the side ops I don't really want to restart.

However, I don't know if Konami is planning on fixing this, and it'll suck if I decide to continue doing the remaining stuff I got left, only to waste my time on those things.

Now what I'm actually wondering is what would you guys do? Also, if I were to put my save file on the PSN Cloud, can't I just keep my current save there as a backup and when the bug gets patched just get that save back?

Oh, believe me you are already descending into hell. Wait till you hear the sweet cries of crows beeing shot out of the sky. It all starts with a wolf attacking you from "nowhere"...from there on...well, you'll see....

I'm currently on mission 39 and done like 50-60 side ops so far. Do you keep getting story content if you keep doing random side ops or I can just now finish the game by only playing main missions?

I don't want to miss any story content.

100 times this. Instead of 30 plattforms, why not 5 with full interiors a la MGS2?

Not sure if our bond level went down, but last night I was on top of a watch tower interrogating a soldier and when I was done I threw the guard off the tower. Upon impact I was surprised to hear a whimper from down below. After climbing down I found DD knocked out on the ground. Poor guy was standing right under the falling soldier. After he got up I made sure to pet him apologetically. Sorry DD!

Nice! Except that's Mission 10 ("Angel With Broken Wings"); "Red Brass" is Mission 9. :p
 
Is there anyway the
water pistol
can be made into a useful stealth tool?
I know it can disable comms, but what can I do to guards with it? It seems like attempting to "stun" them with it just gets me an instant alert.

That's Mission 10.

It is even faster if you just have D-Horse in the road
then Fulton the armored vehicle and shoot the two guards, them book it out of the hot zone.
Less than 5 minutes and you are done.

edit: That is how I did it the first time I played, then I instantly re-did the mission to extract the specialists, which took me a good 20+ minutes and still got an S-Rank.

You asked for it!
Have you tried to put some C4 on DD, then detonating it while he does his knife attack? :D

hmmm....this game has a strange influence on my creativity...its almost erotic!...have to try this one out by myself

This game is fucking long. I'm on mission 25 but I already find myself getting a bit bored and not playing it every day any more. Most missions are pretty much doing the same thing. Anyone else feeling similar?

I'm a bit mad at myself for feeling this way already. I was so hyped and dumped so much time into the first week. I think I screwed myself over by doing so many side ops.

It's a water pistol... you can still hold them up with it I think? I didn't know it could take out comms but you can put out the bonfire barrel things with it.

Tho do try to wrap up chapter 1. Its conclusion is pretty epic. You are almost there.

Interesting strat. I'm sure there's multiple other ways to do it even easier, that's just the strat I thought of and it was pretty funny how it worked out.

Currently downloading from Steam. I know almost nothing about this game and am basically going in blind due to all the positive reception this is getting. My female friend convinced me to get it today and here we are, 15% away from playing the game.

Just wanted to get GAF's blessings and hope I don't end up being disappointed

I'm officially burned out MGSV. Beat it on Sunday and tried to do some side ops last night and couldn't do it. Le sigh. I loved the hell out of you, MGSV. GOTY for sure.

I'm at the same point but I just finished Chapter 1. We'll see if I can muster the courage to finish the rest. Gotta get ready for 2K next week.

If you replay a main mission to extract someone with a special skill do you need to complete it for it to register?

I've bailed out early and despite miller's whining while I was getting on the chopper I got the new skills.

Did this for transport specialist.
