I pretty much do all extraction-type missions at night. Put on the NVG so it's easier to spot living things.

I don't find daytime missions a problem as long as you're wearing the correct camo. I think most people find daytime a huge issue because they like to wear the sneaking suits which clash against the environments.
Or you can just back up your save. Reload the save after Konami's server sync and never have to deal with that aspect.

I see what you did there.
What is the blueprint glitch?
Blueprints don't spawn thus making it impossible to 100% the game, I've encountered it along with a few others.
Sounds like a bother. You can make much more by heaving a powerful defence. You get paid good for failed infiltrations.

I too have now encountered the blueprint glitch with the stun grenade blueprint. Nowhere to be found.
Thankfully they know about it. I'm for sure not playing another 100 hours to get the achievement because of this.

I S-ranked Angel with Broken Wings. Not sure if this is an accomplishment, but it feels good getting that gold S.
I basically tranq'd and fultoned most of the guards. Had to snipe off a couple.
I wish I had the Cargo 2 upgrade for the Fulton though.
How do I increase my Bond level with D-Horse and DD? Is it just going on a lot of missions with them?

I wear the sneaking suit and do all my missions during the daytime. No issues. The AI is still pretty damn dumb. Too little visibility at night and I can't see anything. Using NVG is OK for tagging enemies but you miss out on a lot of other items you don't see. Well, I do anyways when playing at night.
D-Dog is by far the best buddy. His tagging ability makes the game almost way too easy like you are cheating. And with his knife kills too. All other buddies pretty much suck in comparison. He is supper annoying though. Always up my ass. Needs to give me a bit more space.
I really wish there were more cutscenes. The character models look absolutely mindblowing and the cutscenes are extremely well done imo. Might be the prettiest realtime cutscenes I've seen in recent games, the game in general looks fantastic (or atleast it really suits my taste in artstyle). I still don't understand how this one guy popped in another thread and said he was shocked how shitty the game looks in comparison to Witcher 3. I'd pick MGSV over Witcher anytime in the visual presentation departement.
Anyway, I've decided to put Side Ops on hold for now and progress in the story. Gameplay is starting to wear on me after 44h and I'd rather finish the game before I get burnt out.

Do guards in dampters or bathroom wake up or knock out until mission is done

I just tried that way and it worked. I landed the first three flash bangs, but I didn't attempt the punch. A sandstorm hit, and snuck up to her while she couldn't see me. I threw it, she jumped away but it registered a hit and finished her off. Got that tricky fourth challenge.
Better a bother than putting money into a side-gimmick that doesn't really pay it's dividends.

They both have their charms. Witcher 3 is a bit more detailed overall and features more complex models, textures, outfits, background locales, and has a lovely style to it. MGSV follows Shinkawa's minimalist approach, reducing clutter, characters and objects very clean and defined. The addition of Subsurface scattering on skin and PBR on metal and plastic objects grounds MGSV quite well. But they're both trying to do very different visual styles, and both are not only great, but offer some nice technology on display as well.
Which is what makes the lack of cutscenes so painful in MGSV. I wanted to see the tech put to more use!
They stay knocked out.

Have you completed the game?
Why'd ya need to put money in? More money bus more FOBs, that's not helping in defending that place. Ya get the first FOB free, just give it a suitable defense and enjoy the benefits while minimizing annoyance with a good security. The resources and manpower it got from successes far outweigh the losses I made. Not to speak about the little boost in levels of my divisions.
Finish the game

I think the AI is pretty good, personally.
Built my FOB on Monday, have yet to be invaded once. I guess people just don't bother invading FOBs that consist of a single command platform?
Quiet is by far the best buddy. Even in chapter 2 where a lot of normal enemies start wearing full body armour, she can single-handedly take out entire bases. Even when equipped with the tranq rifle, she can keep all the enemies focused on her, leaving me free to sneak around them and carry out whatever objectives I need.
It's gotten to the point that I feel like I'm gimping myself if I'm not bringing her along on a mission. Why bother being all sneaky and taking out enemies one by one when I can just tell her to cover me and be done with it?

Stupid question, but how do you move Quiet to where you want her? Or does the bond need to be higher?
Yeah, I am always impressed by how they siege building, call in help and report to CP, even when they just want to check something weird out.
You can give her commandos via idroid.
Like scout/attack a location? Yeah I think so, the game will tell you when a command unlocks for her.
EDIT: You can do the tasks you have left, just be sure you activate a checkpoint before aborting. In some missions, I believe it's impossible to do all the tasks in one go because of time constraints, some may even conflict.
You can do mission tasks as you wish. You don't need to get all in one playthrough, the game remembers what you did in previous missions.
Thanks for the OT, picked up the game with a PS4 last Tuesday and have been enjoying it.
I tried this with Mission 10 or so. Extracting all prisoners in a certain area and then extracted the main prisoner before they took him away to another base. It ticked off the objective I didn't do and I didn't have to re-do others.

There are checkpoints on Main Missions. You can force a checkpoint save by messing about with Motherbase when it's available.
You can completely ghost every outpost and base, as far as I can tell. Patience is key. Crawl a lot. The lower you are, the less likely they are to see you. Thoroughly scout and mark bases before entering. Look for the path of least resistance and exploit it. Guards do have fixed routines until you disturb them. If you're not bothered about the 'No Traces' bonus, magazines and missing tranq rounds are great for distracting guards. Infiltrating at night helps reduce enemy vision, but during the day, using the right camouflage pays dividends. This is very different from SC and Dishonoured. This is probably the most tense pure stealth game (when you play it that way) that I've played in a very long time. Be prepared to improvise at the drop of a hat.
Hope that helps.
So. I just completed this late game mission last night and I'm incredibly proud of it, so I'm gonna share the VOD Highlight:
Mission 44 S-Rank!! http://www.twitch.tv/primeau31/v/16825465
I've been playing episode 26 for over an hour now. You're supposed to hunt down a tracker and dispose of him before he reaches some Kaziba camp. Well, I found him about 5 minutes and he had decent stats so I sedated him and fultoned him out. And that was an hour ago. No other indication of what to do or where to go. I can't get on the helicopter because the game informs me it's the same as abandoning the mission. I've captured the Kaziba camp and all the surrounding outposts and that's about it.
Is there somewhere else I'm supposed to go? Is the mission bugged? If it's the latter, I might just be done with the game. This mission wasn't hard, but I hate, hate having my very limited free time wasted on bullshit.

Thanks for all the tips guys. Will try to implement some of that advice going forward. I didn't realize you could jump to the chopper with "return to ACC." That will be a game changer.

When the guards start looking, I get the same sort of chills I got with MGS2 Clearing. They appear to work pretty logically together.

You can move her through the Buddy Support menu under Missions.
Much faster to open the Map and press Up or Down until you get the options for Quiet (Scout) or Quiet (Attack).

I'd say they're good too. They find cover pretty good.

Keep in mind that option to return to helicopter only applies to free roam/side ops.
When you're doing a story mission you have to either use a helicopter, fulton yourself out by standing on a cargo container, drive out of the hot zone, or run out of the hot zone.
One thing I didn't see anyone else mention yet... Press Y/Triangle while laying down to enter "Stealth mode". The game had a tutorial on this IIRC, but I doubt many people use it, or I dunno. If you're wearing the right camo, guards will walk right past you. Super useful for ghosting.

I've given up on that. Got one and that's it. So I just hunt them. The most dangerous game indeed.
