I'm so confused. The "Customize" option in Mother Base menu disappeared and hasn't come back. I'm at Mission 20. I want to add a Suppressor to my Sniper Rifle and this is driving me nuts.
You can only do it in the ACC.

DD with Stun Suit equipped is perfection IMO. Moving sonar, can act as decoy, and KO any enemy instantly including heavy infantry.
Quiet is a bit too much of a pain to command IMO.

Thanks, but what's the ACC??

When you're sitting in the helicopter.
I dunno, the rain scene was awkward but there was at least some hint of a heart with the both of them playing in the rain. The shower scene though...

In the chopper
Thanks
I love the game, but sometimes the menus and how to do things confuses me.There are some incredibly funny kiefer lines for this game..
The one where he dumbly says "gooooood goooooood" to DD is another brilliant moment
It is pain if you care about exact precision in her actions, however, I learned that it is better to just equip a tranq gun to her (LOTS better if it has a silencer) and just give her the "Cover Me" command, she takes everyone out
Just finished Episode 43 myself and came here right away to sing praises of it, shocked to see criticism of it.
So much emotional weight for me. Seeing your soldiers surrender their lives to you in the bunker in the basement, while others tried to shoot back to fight for their lives. It felt bad every time I had to pull the trigger, especially as their names popped up above their heads and I recognized many of them from sorting through my staff up until that point.
The funeral/ash scene was super well done besides Huey being Huey. Nice touch with the shining diamond on Snake's arm post 43 too.

Absolutely no line in this game tops
Haidara! when you use the Hand of Jehuty.
This. Had sexual pandering gone out of the equation for that moment, it would've actually made for a lovely scene.
The shower scene on the other hand had nothing to justify its existence.

All good Gaffers share their spoils.
Do tell....
Best part is there are hardly any "walls" blocking you from your objective. However, I noticed some weird, white dot artifacts on the skybox when I was doing a mission at night. They were all uniform and went across all the dark parts of the night sky.

Got around 13,000 of my unprocessed fuel resources and 5000 of my minor metal resources stolen and the dudes got a level 30 base so I probably won't be able to steal it back.
I'm salty as fuck.

Lol!! I did the same exact thing.
The S rank combat deployment missions (the one where you need Battle Gear, take over 2 hours and at best have a 60% success rate) have ridiculous rewards like 20k precious metals.

Hmmm, I always lose the farm when it comes to risk vs. rewards. I'm bad luck, man.

Yeah, I think that was the second or third one.
Takes a lot of patience though. I fucking hate the fact that they wait until the timer has fully ran out to tell you that the mission has failed. So you're left with 2 hours wasted and a few high-rank soldiers dead.
It was worth the wait though. This one took me 3 tries.

Whelp, looks like I got some sacrificial lambs to be fultoning tomorrow after work, I gotta get paid!
If Kohima was going to be around for the next one, the one thing I would love for them to fix is the the fucking sliding off unclimbable rocks....holy hell that shit is EVERYWHERE.
The ability to climb over rocks is so inconsistent, did they hand design which ones you could (or couldn't) climb over?
That's the terrible part, you have to approach the climbable rocks at the exact right angle and speed to get the prompt.

haha i'm so dumb... i was doing tank unit 03 in afghan with the tank and heli, and a sandstorm came
and i got so disorientated by the sandstorm, and the contrast of the sandstorm to the light's NV amplification (combined with no idea there was a mortar nearby to even consider other possibilities), i thought the light or star in the sky was the helicopter's search light
it was a flare ;p
i fire 1 rocket at the 'helicopter' lol and barely notice it passed through, was in a panic with that tank firing at me so i turned to finish the tank, and then after shot at the 'search light' again and by then i'm beginning to wtf.... turn around and the helicopter is behind me... the 'star' was just brightened by the NV in a sandstorm... so i was firing at a flare ;p
dumb moment but sort of represents how random or unplanned combat situations in this game can be haha still fun that a mistake from disorientation (or poor scouting missing the mortar being another likely light source lol) like this could even happen

yeah i've found that too... i find myself spamming Triangle a lot... I actually like to play HUD-less so I actually tried playing with Action HUD pop-ups turned off, but similar to Deus Ex Human Revolution, the game isn't really visually intuitive to turn it off... you'll end of spamming action buttons so much because it looks like it should work but it doesn't, or vice versa
Dismiss all the soldiers with the trouble maker skill. There are ways to mitigate it either by paring them up in the same division or loading up staff with the diplomat skill but really it's just easier to get rid of them.

sounds like you have troublemakers amidst your ranks.
What's funny to me is that you try and KILL the tank unit....I always try to extract, no matter what.
It actually annoys me that you either need to kill or extract them. I don't want to kill them but I don't want scrubs in my Mother Base either.

Dismiss is a god send. All it take is 200 people in the waiting room for me to get rid of the scrubs.
Mission 16.
Really hope there are no more missions like this in the game. Really frustrating.
So awful to have a trap like that sprung on you if you're playing stealthily and setting up traps.
I fumbled around trying to figure out if I did anything wrong until I finally decided to just throw a stun grenade as soon as they popped out so I could fulton the truck. I had to book it (on foot) to the chopper under heavy fire (red jam all over the screen) after that and it was just not fun.
I still got an S-rank somehow though!

I'm running at near max capacity most of the time now, with some hand placed staff in certain division to get to certain thresholds, so the micromanagement of dealing with a scrub filling up a division, possibly blocking a better soldier is annoying. If only you could dismiss them from the brig before Ocelot even bothers with his brainwashing.

Stuck in menus? First time I hear it and it hasn't happened to me yet. Strange.
I am always at max with staff these days, the game does a good job of switching out old soldiers with new into the best units as soon as you get them to MB. That is why I am saying the waiting room is where you just go to dismiss 100 staff at a time. Basically I just say good-bye to anyone with a stat of C or lower these days.

Getting to the point where I want to YT the rest of the game's cinematics anyway and just give up playing it myself. The way this game focuses on driving its own economies with side ops really preys on my obsessive completionist side. I feel like I can't play a main mission until my side ops are all completed, so I'm 50 hours deep and only on mission 17 now. I've already finished nearly 35% of the 157 side ops, in comparison.
I hate myself for forcing to play this way.
