What percentage does chapter 2 start at? I'm 80 hours in and I don't think I am there yet? 42%..

don't know

I'm only at 25 percent

It starts after (Mission Number Spoiler)

Spoiler

Mission 31

 

[bargeparty]

This games structure is absolutely idiotic.

 

[KorrZ]

Damn. You must have absolutely powered through it eh? I mean, I'm not taking my time at all and I'm 80 hours in at 42%...

% is completely misleading. I finished the game at 56%.

It includes getting all mission objectives for every mission, all S ranks, all motherbase developments, all side ops etc. Not a great indicator of how far you are through the actual game.

 

[Ermac]

Is there any mission / way I can recruit more women? After reading that polygon article I want to make a badass FemSnake but I've haven't found any so far. :/

Spoiler

You can beat her with the ordinary tranq pistol if you don't have a non-lethal sniper rifle, at least that's how I did it. I don't know about your other questions.

Wasn't beating her with the tranq. pistol a massive pain?

Spoiler

You can beat her with a lethal weapon with no problems, the cutscene wil just play normally afterwards and you get the choice to either kill her or spare her. That's what I did my first try, there's absolutely no repercussions. I don't know what happens if you shoot her though, but the game will probably remember you already have her as a partner, but don't take my word for it.

Good to know that you can beat her with a lethal weapon. Guess that means I'll give her a re-match. Thanks!

 

[SomTervo]

OMG

Spoiler

Quiet playing in the rain HNNNNG

I never got this cutscene! When did it happen?

 

[TheSeks]

Pretty much. I'm trying to figure out how to identify which animals I already have. The menu is confusing.

Any animal that doesn't have it's animal on it is one you don't have. IE: "?" is ones you don't own.

[KittenMaster]

I liked the GZ version of the PW suit. Unfortunately it doesn't look as good in TPP with Snake's ponytail jutting out so far.

 

[Tiktaalik]

it was annoying with the large number of guards and no buddy help, but i got lucky and managed to do it in one try without setting off an alert.

I ended up getting an alert near the end, and as I was hiding waiting for the alert to go down, I hear a boom and Miller codec'd in to congratulate me for killing the target. I guess he or one of his soldiers threw a grenade... lol. I'll take the victory.

Yup. I HATE the Pony tail.

However, that suit looks great with the bandana.

 

[Easton Dark]

Damn. You must have absolutely powered through it eh? I mean, I'm not taking my time at all and I'm 80 hours in at 42%...

You are absolutely taking your time. Are you one of the people that takes over an hour to complete some missions? That may be why.

Reference: I am at 97% at 105 hours.

Spoiler

50 total, 38 unique missions, 12 that are harder repeats of older missions.

 

[Xanathus]

Please let us know.

Oh god it really is in-game time. I'm already done with the entire game except for these last 2 achievements.... maybe it works if I just let the game idle in the background since I'm on PC and can use borderless window mode.

Do the

I don't think Chapter 2 was ever intended to be anywhere near Chapter 1 in length

Look at Chapter 2 of Peacewalker for reference

Yeah. Think of Chapter 2 as everything that happens after the ring is destroyed in Return of the King.

Well,

some would consider it 6, actually. But technically 7, yes.

 

[Grief.exe]

It's an actual 24 hours of playtime.

so how do I achieve 100%?

This. You have to spend 24 hours of real life time in MGS5 for it to develop.

And then in the next minute dispose of it.

Time well spent.

You can speed up the game time within cheat engine so it takes mere minutes I believe. SOL on console.

 

[Groof]

It doesn't have them hot licensed Puma's though.

Should I expect it to fuck me up forever?

do all the yellow missions, side-ops, cassette tapes...the last few missions slowly unlock after every 3 Side-Ops you complete

[Dartastic]

I've done a ton of side ops. I'm literally waiting on one yellow combat deployment mission that takes two hours to complete. I've already failed it twice, despite a 78 percent success rate. Do I literally have to just wait two hours for this to complete?

 

[Vuze]

Yup, works fine but just a heads up, it breaks the game sound for me everytime I do it. So just be aware that you will have to restart the game afterwards if you want to actually play properly.

Fuck it i'm gonna do that, do you have a link or something for how to get it done?

Just download Cheat Engine, open MGSV and check the Speedhack option, then set the speedup you want.

 

[RS4-]

The worst one I've ran into was the mission where you save the prisoners at the place where you get Killerbee.

I spent half an hour looking for the second guy...and well...lol.

 

[Agentnibs]

Omg why won't this game let me finish it. I can't unlock mission 46! I already completed all the yellow main and side ops, and listened to all tapes. Now I'm just free roaming and returning to mb hoping something will trigger but nothings happened yet. I get little cutscenes here and there with ddog and quiet but that's it. I also never got to quiet side ops either

I'm in the same boat. This is the only yellow thing I have left and they've failed it twice now

I need help progressing in the story.

Last story stuff I did was

mission 45. Quiet's gone and the credits have played,

but I've been told by someone here I have more to do to see more story. I keep knocking out side ops but nothing new story-wise is appearing. What do I need to do to get the last bits of story? I still have like 4-5 missions to do but they're all modified chapter 1 missions. Do I need to do all of them to see more story content?

The way I got it was just by doing a lot of side missions. I only did 2 modified chapter 1 missions.

You need to do all the side-ops marked with the yellow icon, and listen to all tapes marked with yellow icon.

Play 2-3 of the harder legacy missions, listen to all of the yellow marked cassettes, and make sure you do all of the yellow Side Ops.
