You get a free one and you pretty much are FORCED to make it.
It's worth expanding and syncing to Konami's servers if you want more employee space. As far as that? Not really worth the hassle.

They allow you to send more than two deployments out at any one time.

They're useful. They expand your entire staff and enable you to rank up higher

I do. If I was in Snake's shoes I wouldn't want the added stress of some assholes back at base screwing everything up.
Especially those unsanitary dicks... There are showers EVERYWHERE.

Anyone know where the best place to farm fire resource is? I need about 15k of the stuff.
I throw them in my security team, that way I can raise thay level with A++'s and there's a chance they'll get robbed.

Big Saru returns with a crazy playthrough of Backup, Back Down. Alt. horse appearance spoilers I guess.

I don't know about farming but the airport has at least two 7500 ones in there.

Ah good point, thanks for the tip!
I haven't played a stealth game since the original MGS, and sneaking into these compounds is freaking stressful. Every time I'm spotted and a dozen guys come at me, I'm hesitant to start shooting everyone because I have this urge to be stealthy and tranq/choke out everyone instead of going for kills. I don't even care about the mission ranks, either. Guess I'll have to get over that feeling quick.

I have never activated FOB once and with hitboxes like these it really seems like a good decision.

You're reading into it incorrectly.

Mantis feeds off the revenge felt by other characters. He is a sort of symbiotic or parasitic organism. Man on Fire, whose identity you can surely guess, wanted revenge on Big Boss. However, there was someone near their location whose lust for revenge outweighed even both Man on Fire and Skullface. That someone is also a person whose identity you can surely guess. So Mantis runs Volgin over and activates the Metal Gear, completely out of Skull Face's control.

Like the Quiet video, it's a nice combination of planning, skill, and showing off.
I just played through
the mission where u grab emmerich. Took it slow and stealthy - so far it was the most metal gearish experience ive had. The base was classic, went thru at night. Alot of the camera angles that just happened naturally were ridiculous. Such a great level.

Is that where you find
Emerich
Or is there another airport in Africa? (I just started Africa and havent see any airports yet)
Oh shit

Oh yeah it's in Africa sorry. I'm not sure if you'll be able to lift cargo containers yet if that's where you are so doesn't matter for now.

Seems to me if you're participating in FOBs...it makes sense to level your FOB up first to have a better defense.
Right?
Right?

Do mission 12 and on one of the scaffoldings you'll find fire resources. Extract that, grab the intel in order to claim the resources, then go to the options menu and repeat the mission as much as you need. However you will need the
wormhole fulton device
Then do some random shit or sit in your chopper until it processes.

Yeah, I can lift cargo containers....do you know what its called on the map? Dont have access to the game right now to look.

Nova braga I think? But there's lots of containers in there it might take a while to find the right ones! Some are worth 750 and others are 7500

Thanks for the help, Ill check it out. Thats good news that theres a lot of containers cause I need to do some serious resource mining.

I've never noticed this before...and I'm really far into the game :lol
Under staff management there is a "staff Captured". How do I free these people?
edit: OOOOOH. These are people that I have captured.

Except some of the filler missions are freaking amazing
1-4
6-7
10-13
18,20-23, 28-31 are all brilliant missions to me even if they all don't have major story stuff
Well, that was fantastic.
Well you're in luck because 18 and 20 are really good.
EDIT: Double post...sorry.

Quick question:
Is there another location after Central Africa? It's seeming more and more likely that it's just these two environments.

Ran through 26~29 last night. 28 and 29 were pretty great.
Metal Gear sniper fights are always fun, really enjoyed that one. Though for some reason Quiet couldn't keep up and got too injured early on and had to leave. DDog was better for the mansion bit anyway.
29 was a pain in the ass until I started using D-Walker. My RPGs and Killer Bee did barely any damage to them.
It is great to finally start seeing the story go places but even when it does the delivery seems so....flat? I'm not sure what to think yet. Might just be Boss's lack of lines but I feel like the culmination of everything happening in the past ~15 missions or so should illicit more of a reaction than what we got.

That's where I'm at too. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, I was expecting much more, especially when hearing "It's 200x bigger than Ground Zeroes".

Until you start meeting people with riot suits then she's pretty useless
Still lot of targets not in the suits, and they usually are all distracted by her so you can run around freely and easily picking them off since they usually all just go after her
I can't get mission 35 to trigger what gives.
i listened to all the tapes and did all the side ops. Also got some cut scenes at mother base like quiet jumping into the vat and getting burnt and eli getting beat up by ocelot. As well as quiet dancing in the rain and code talker speaking of parasites. Do I seriously need to keep boarding the acc leaving mother base and returning to trigger cutscenes? I swear I see a yellow dot on the R&D platform by the metal gear but no way to get into. The very top door thats guarded is locked
This is probably the main pet peeve of mine. I think they were so lenient with the distance because of the chain CQC you can pull on the npcs. I do it all the time on the soldiers that greet you on motherbase.I have never activated FOB once and with hitboxes like these it really seems like a good decision.

Is there any way to get more stuff to develop for my FOBs? I tried getting my unit to level 50, but I still only have 5 items to make, all of which I've already created. Although, my FOB itself is at the bare minimum size wise and it has poor guys patrolling it if any of that stuff matters.
There is definitely a lot more leniency here than in past games. Getting lined up just right for a choke in MGS1 was a fine art.

Have you met Emmerich in his lab yet? follow the stairs down below the deck by the helipad on r&d . Not sure if that is the answer though.
How do i get in the lab? I see the yellow dot but no way in

There's a button next to the door. But it's not the top floor it's on the outside below the helipad. There's some signs with a black skull with his hair and glasses.
