Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain |OT2| A Franchise Robbed Of Its Future

Always have people on dispatch missions with good odds of winning. Some of them can give a lot of gmp. You can sell any resources you have too, but most you'll want for base development

I feel like I fultoned already half the udssr, is that dude a special unlock or do I need to Fulton the other half as well?

he's a mission dude, check the main missions.

The other thing is that the way the economy is structured you need to focus on one branch of the tech tree to really get to the high tier supressors. If you just get lots of tier 1 weapons none of them are gonna have medium durability suppressors, etc.

The tech tree is also a serious pain in the ass to navigate.

So, enemy equipment progress. Does someone have a detailed explanation for it? I mean, the enemy are all wearing body armor, helmets and modded firearms these days (which is fine). What's odd is the distribution of things like mines. Some areas have now sprouted mines, but most haven't. Is this a development that's going to spread? Are cameras going to start popping up everywhere too?

afaik cameras only really pop up in OKB0 in afghanistan and in the airport in africa. I've never seen them anywhere else. Maybe the oilfield?

There are cameras at the airport? I've been there multiple times now and never noticed one.

I've only seen them when doing the assassination mission there. Never seen them there otherwise. Same with OKB0, I've only seen them there during mission 29.

I have no idea where cameras dynamically spawn, if at all.
 
If you are searching for an undetected intruder, try raining down some mortars in their general location, it may spook them into action.

For some reason it took me ages to realise you can shoot people and uavs from the chopper in an fob mission. But it's probably better using that time for recon.
 
It's way too easy to defend your FOB, you have a short respawn and infinite lives...

Also I wish they would ban more weapons, especially grenade launcher ><

So it's not true you need to only complete side ops in order to unlock other story missions.
Right know I did missions from 1 to 43, all S ranked, plus all available side ops. The only mission I have right now is mission 44.

I think it is, I never did one of those replay, subsistence, total stealth missions in Chapter 2, and was able to unlock the real ones just through completing side ops.
Did you listen to all the yellow cassette tapes?

Weird thing I noticed while I was playing mission 29 to farm containers and
parasites

When I extract the unconscious soldiers, they all get awarded a service medal at the end of the mission and gain a stat boost. Pretty sure that the same thing happens in the Honeybee mission after you beat the Skulls

Make sure you head back to mother base to check if there are any cutscenes you need to trigger

i didn't do any repeat missions and just did it all with side ops
 
Man, i fall in love with FOB now. Since i finished all mission and side ops, i will play FOB and getting S rank all mission. Hope i won't get angry messages from those who are invaded.

I'm enjoying FOB stuff myself too. I honestly don't get all the hate.
 
Hey some questions, spoilers for up to around chapter 12

orry if this is answered but trying to avoid spoilers, I'm on mission 10-12 now and just wanted to know

When do I get Quiet properly? She's sitting in my medical bay. Everyone says "THERE IS A SCENE IN THE MEDICAL BAY, KEEP COMING BACK but she's just chilling there all day every day


When do I get a new fulton to take out cars or the containers?


How much should I pay attention to moving my guys around? the Computer seems to be doing OK on this right now. When FOB comes in will all my guys be at risk of being stolen

Finally when do I get the zoo! My guys said it as being built but nothing!

No. Do I need to do that?
I mean, I listened some tapes, but I have something like 80 or more to listen yet :|

EDIT: I also missed the cutscene
showed in the trailer, with the Boss AI on MB. How do I trigger that? I visited R&D platform where Battle Gear was but no cutscene.

For Quiet:
There's one cutscene where she'll try to tag along when you call in the chopper at Mother Base but Kaz won't allow it, a few missions later there's another that's triggered the same way where she'll be able to tag along.

For extracing vehicles:
There's a mission where you have to fulton out I think it was called a Transportation Specialist. With him you can create fultons that extract vehicles.

For moving around staff:
Had no trouble at that point just letting the computer assign them, I'd start paying attention however when you unlock the Quarantine

Quiet:
after mission 14

Fulton:
To unlock Fulton Device Upgrade CARGO 2, you have to make it to episode 15. There you will have the option to rescue 2 prisoners. One of them being the transportation specialist.

Quiet becomes available to select as buddy in mission 14 iirc

You need an upgrade for that, which should be unlocked by mission 16. Can't remember if it's story related. Just keep fultoning stuff and you'll get it pretty fast

Security gets the lowest priority when auto-assigning staff members so you won't have to worry about the AI putting highly skilled soldiers in security (unless your MB is full). Imo just let the computer handle it and just do some manual adjustments each time you unlock more spots for your staff, by the time you unlock the security team your MB will be pretty big and tedious to manage

The zoo is a separate platform from the main MB, and can be accessed by pressing triangle in your i-droid mini map while you are sitting on the Helicopter

Maybe they just unlock after a certain amount of time since mission 44 ?

I noticed some of those dispatch missions have a Yellow dot. Do those count towards unlocking those final episodes ?

Yes, I think you need to listen (at least activate the tapes only so they're marked off on your iDroid) to the yellow tapes. After that try returning to MB.
The Boss AI
is in the R&D hangar, the same place where
Sahalenthropus
is stored. I never got a cutscene with the
AI
in MB just the one with
Huey
in Mission 12, did I miss something?

No, the combat deployment missions are not necessary to unlock the final episodes.
 
All MB platforms have been fully built. Glad that's over with. And I guess it was a smart move to do Intel last cause I managed to catch two female soldiers engaging in a convo (have seen a male and female soldier have a convo on my Medical Platform).

The convo:
Team Miller or Team Ocelot

And I tried doing Mission 40 the legit way, but after getting OHKO so many times, I settled on the tank method lol.
And now I'm gonna have Quiet wear the Sniper Wolf costume :D

1. When do I get Quiet properly? She's sitting in my medical bay. Everyone says "THERE IS A SCENE IN THE MEDICAL BAY, KEEP COMING BACK but she's just chilling there all day every day

You will get Quiet as a buddy when you process story. Just keep playing.
The scene everyone said happens when you go to the second floor of medical bay, it's in a room. Keep finding on the 2nd floor and you will see it

2. When do I get a new fulton to take out cars or the containers?
During a mission, you should look at skills available in that mission (top right corner on your iDroid), when you see skill "Transportation Engineering" or something like that, that mission will have solider or prisoner who has this skill to help you develop the fulton you said.

3. How much should I pay attention to moving my guys around? the Computer seems to be doing OK on this right now. When FOB comes in will all my guys be at risk of being stolen

You can lock (by using direct control funtion on your iDroid) some soliders you don't want to lose. Or setting the range of solider's rank you want on your FOB to prevent it getting high rank soliders (the game will explain this when you access FOB)

4. Finally when do I get the zoo! My guys said it as being built but nothing!
Get on Helicopter on your MB or using "Return to MB" on ACC, press square/X if you're on Helicopter on MB, you will see your zoo on MB map, choose it to go to your zoo

But where?

right?
Because I can't enter other doors in MB.

it's so slow you might as well be screaming "RUN UP AND FULTON ME RIGHT NOW"
It's good to get you out of hiding. Usually you are in the open when you need to change position because of mortar fire. If somebody shoots with an aa gun you just hide behind a wall.

No, not the

hangar. Remember where the helicopters place
Sahalenthropus
in the Ending of Chapter 1? Go to the top of the first R&D deck, and you'll find a ladder to lower you there. That cutscene is from (MISSION 43 SPOILERS)
Huey's trial
.

Oh. But I just did mission 43, isn't the one in which
you kill MB staff members?

Anyway thanks, I'll check that location later to see if some cutscenes will trigger.

I think, it's right after Mission 43? TBH, I did all the final episodes in a 6-hour stint, and was way too tired when I finished it at the early hours of the morning, so the story events progression and where they're placed regarding the mission structure are kind of a blur to me.

Also, I'm playing on PC, and have a few questions:

1) For the all mission objectives achievements, do I need to do all of them in the same mission or can I just do the main ones + secondary that I'm missing?

2) I'm going to mod
Quiet back in
, and they advise to keep a backup save, but are there any major bugs regading connecting online, or any other stuff I should know?

yeah you know I never even realize that... I use NVG a lot, with Markers off. With Markers I suppose its use outside of, sandstorms, and initial distance marking, is rather diminished.

the biggest thing for me is that it's obviously a lot more tense not knowing where enemies are once you lose LOS, so it's more challenging and tense, but it's also a lot more visually pleasing during shootouts...

I was raiding the palace free roam around Mission 6 when I found myself staring at red triangles in the distance and not really 'seeing' all the actual action going on... heads bobbing behind cover, arms poking out with guns, figures moving quickly between open windows trying to find sniper fire... most of that was a blur and it reminded me of when you 'drive staring at a minimap' -- I was shooting and looking at red triangles more than the actual action that was unfolding, red HUD triangles rather than actual hiding and shooting soldiers

so it was for added challenge and tension, too, but similar to turning off the Item HUD, it was as much for challenge and tension as it was for clearer action and just better visual appreciation.
Yeah, I'm really enjoying having them off. The first thing I did when I turned it all off was take on a tank unit, and I thought it was going to be hell but it wasn't. I can't help but think there should have been one of those "Are you new to MGS?" questions when you started like in 3, with this being the setup for experienced players.

You're so right about all of the stuff cluttering the screen, and you still have the markers on the map if you need them. Trial records telling me how many times I've been shot? Gone. Orange triangles? Gone. Superhuman senses? Gone. You still get the audio cue, but you don't know where it's from so you pay attention to your surroundings (you should do anyway). Same with damage direction. If only you could turn off the blood splats and just have the screen turn red.

I do recommend that people try it, especially if you played 1-4.

When do I unlock S(+/++) soldiers in the field? My current 'main' deployment mission is 50:50 in terms of success and I've already lost it twice. Haven't seen any S soldiers around at all, only A+

I don't know when it started, but I got 760k and I see S soldiers here and then, no S+ or even S++ yet. Not a single one.

This hasn't been figured out. Some people see them as early as 150k Heroism. There's probably a number of variables that affect this, with Heroism being only one of them.

I've had something weird happen to one of my soldiers where said male soldier suddenly changed to a female voice/animation set.

Anyone had this happen before? It seems permanent for me.

finished Chapter 1 last night. that was good. more to go.

i saw an S+ soldier out in the field as 1 of 2 armored soldiers on a side op. i'm at like 125k heroism

I think your Mother Base completion also affects what soldiers you find. I consistently find A+/A++ in the field now.
