lol, well done!
Can they stay like that forever ? Because I think they try to escape sometime, you have to put them down.
I think they stay like that forever as long as they don't see you turn your back on them. So if you stay behind them it should be fine.

How did the repetition in this game never get mentioned in any of the reviews? Im only at 7% done with the game and Ive already extracted a prisoner/high level soldier from the exact same location 4 times! The only variation being that prisoners were upstairs in the same building and soldiers were downstairs in the same building...

Chapter 2 early spoilers: So I recovered the
from the Afghan base but haven't had any cutscene or radio talk about it on MB? Does it happen later?

I doubt most reviewers bothered with side ops or Chapter 2. Locations in the main missions rarely repeat aside from a few ones that show up a couple of times
Finally S ranked Backup Backdown...feels good. feels damned good.
I only wish I wasn't stuck on Octopus rank. But it feel slike we can't really play any other way.

was a bitch and fighting that
, chasing me around the map and literally snuck up on me when I was picking a lock...God that had to be scripted. It was perfect.

Repetition is up to you.
People don't call a Racing game repetitive even if you have to play the same track over and over. Or a shooter even if you only play one level.
The repetition is because you approach the situation the same way. Try setting some limits for yourself, or challenging yourself. They give you so many tools, but they don't force you to experiment.

It is best not to look for answers on this, it's pretty difficult explaining without spoiling stuff.
Just.. keep playing.
FOB give you the advantage of 2 more Squads to send out to do missions. Which means extra GMP. You can also increase the amount of people as you keep building stuff on it.
In my whole time i have played, i have go invaded once. I lost close to 90k GMP, a handful of soldiers and the option to retaliate. When i did. Everything in the base was maxed out, and the host arrived to blow me to pieces with rockets. So i am pretty sure that was a cheater.
So yea... i am not touching FOB on pc.. maybe on ps4. But i do like having the extra squads and space to fill out. I am glad that i don't have to be part of hte invasions as often as i was afraid. *knock on wood.

The game is a little unclear about this at first, since you get your very first staff by fultoning people on MB. I was confused about this for a while as well.
which one?

aracheas how the fuck am I supposed to beat them ? I counter them with the prompt, I shoot them a bit, loosen their armor, then they regain it fast and they spam me with all their shits I can manage but I can't kill them. I ran out of ammo and none of them are dead I got a 7.62mm AR and a 308 semi auto sniper wtf this fight sucks ass. You just get spammed like hell

What am I supposed to do with those heavily armored soldiers? CQC?
I've been throwing Rockets at them without giving a shit, lol.

Is this the airport level? You can call in supply drops for ammo/weapons. I was able to beat them using a machine gun and shotty (kabarg). Rockets were either too weak (Killer Bee) or inaccurate/risky to use due to do distance.

Fairly easy strategy:
Bring D-Walker as a buddy. Be sure to upgrade the minigun so it has 1500 bullets. Wear the battle dress and equip the shield so you back is protected.
Now, the tactic is to keep D-Walker moving at all times to the Skulls don't get a chance to attack you. Just keep moving and unload on the Skulls. Be sure to avoid the red mist because that will corrode D-Walker.

I can't unlock mission 43 for the life of me. Done a ton of side ops, listened to every tape, gone back and forth from motherbase to chopper to field a hundred times.
What do I need to do to trigger it?

Their armor buff is temporary. They don't regain health, if you run away their health regain will go back down after a bit. You can also melee them when they do certain attacks, but the timing is difficult. I basically used the shotgun pistol with a shield equipped, blasted them in the face over and over, and dive rolled whenever they got close.

Smoke grenades, stun grenades, sleep grenades are all effective. You can also CQC them like any other enemy. You can hold them up but they usually turn around and attack you.

Well that mission I watched one of my friends try this, he took to going on the roof and getting on the mortar, all of them clustered and he just spammed the mortar till they were dead.
The way I passed this was an assault rifle and the grom, upgrade 3 I think, the assault rifle to whittle their armor down and the rockets to take their real health or whenever they cluster together.

Only while sprinting. Was very valuable to me for a couple of mission tasks that I was struggling with.
That's what I'm mainly using it for now, just clearing out the last few mission tasks.

Subete no aware
It seems only useful for doing farming cheese. lol
If you've done all the yellow stuff, then it should just take you to motherbase after completing a certain number of side ops or main missions.
There are signs on the R&D platform at ground level with
goofy cartoon drawings of huey on them

I was expecting that answer, I have yet to use a single grenade so I had no idea how effective they were, will start now. Thanks.

Yes, I think you are.
Every mission unlocks gradually depending on how many Side Ops you've done - it's that simple. There is no bizarre "roll 25 times over the helipad on the third R&D platform when the clock strikes noon" requirements to unlock missions.
I guess so. It just felt like that from some of the posts here. Thanks for clearing that up.

Sure. Smoke grenades and stun grenades(before you get more powerful versions) Will temporally incapacitate enemies. These enemies will have a blue arrow(with some kind of line I think) that denotes this stage. You can sprint and CQC enemies in this stage.
I think the exact requirement is something like "you need to have done X side missions since the last main mission". I had 134 side missions done, with only 1 side mission available but uncompleted before doing main mission 43. After doing missions 43 I did the remaining side mission, but neither main mission 45 nor any extra side missions unlocked. This means I'll have to replay stuff to unlock the rest of the story.
I also listened to all the available tapes so I'm fairly certain the requirement is just relative to the last main mission you played.

Do side ops. It's usually three to open up the next mission.
Regular grenades have an amazing blast radius in this game. I usually pop one out between AR bursts in lethal firefights. Assault Rifles sometimes are best used to stall someone for a tackle, if you want to use them non-lethaly. (Shoot someone in the arm once in reflex mode, or in the leg, and that should stall them long enough to tackle them if you're too far away, before they can get an alarm off.)
Stop replaying Side Ops that you have already done then.

Escort mission. Children, 5 of them. And they don't fucking listen. And Quiet is nowhere to be fucking found.
It's good for Side Objectives if you still don't have those done, but eh...
THIS... and besides that, it was weird for me, because I captured the whole outpost, called in the chopper and left the
wounded kid in the chopper, but the other kids where headed downstream the river!!! the chopper was there!!!
I think this is part of the problems the team faced with the open world design, it can hurt sometimes
Happened to me too. I just left with the one kid. Game completely ignored that I left the others behind and gave me S-Rank.

Question to those with the Japanese version for PS4
Ground Zeroes had the option to play with english text (menus, subtitles and everything) but with the Japanese VA. It's the same with TPP?

Regarding the kids:
For me, the children often wouldn't follow you after alerting enemies unless you asked them to wait then go again, even if the area was cleared of soldiers.
Also near the end of the game, I discovered that Quiet's scout ability also locates prisoners (most of the time), so it made those pretty easy.
