You don't have to repeat anything. Do all yellow side ops and any new episodes that pop up. If there's nothing else, you can do the repeats or just do some random side ops until the next story beat comes up

Goddammit,
And it seems I'm all done with
Mission 45 hasn't unlocked for me yet, but I did finish 47 and it seems 46 and 48-50 is unlocked as well. As well as Side Op 150. Not entirely sure which I should do first
I wanted to kill Huey so fucking bad. WORST SENTENCING EVER
And it seems I'm all done with
the Paz storyline. Couldn't fool me for a second, but that 5th tape...holy shit

Heh I don't think that's a swimming pool.
But what's with the shallow water everywhere in this game? I'm surprised you can't climb down a ladder on mother base to find a 2 inch deep ocean to run around in.

So my quipping "Marco....Polo!" whenever I used it to take him down was all for nothing?
Mission 20 was
very strange. It started off very well with the sneakin stuff. Then that one empty open field just left me puzzled. Then the last area was very strange. The boss fight...yeah, I dunno. It seems very easy to get screwed over there, especially if you don't have any water left. I didn't have the Water Pistol, either. I made sure to start making it after, at least.
If you keep avoiding him the game gives you a free pass and starts raining, or you know you can just die and redo that part. Doesn't really screw you over at all
You don't need the water pistol -- I finished chapter 1 and still haven't even developed it. Just lead him up to the reservoir, get behind him, and shotgun blast him into the water. He'll fall on and evaporate instantly. Fight over.
You can also (mission 20 spoilers)
use the fully upgraded stun arm to one shot him.

Take DDog with you on these missions. He discovers wild animals without much trouble. Or just pay some GMP to have him sent in.

so I just finished Mission 50 about 30 minutes ago...
so, I guess major spoilers for the entire game and Mission 45, 46 and Mission 50 in particular spoilers

wtf...? where's the ending lol... I can't believe 46 is the ending 
I mean, just unlocked for me like any other Mission, basically in numbered order. All I get for finishing Mission 50 with an S Rank no less is a Naked Silver costume and bionic?
And seriously, Quiet is gone forever unless you delete your entire save file? no New Game+ or special post-game mode where you can use her again (in a non canon) way in the same way you can now use "John"...? Why in the world would they not at least include easy multiple save files or new game plus.... I mean, I know I delete my save file but keep a backup but... I wanted to keep building up my stats, keep my items in a new playthrough like basically every other MGS..
I feel like everything after Mission 31 is so anti-climatic, almost like an anti-ending. I had more fun just free roaming for a few days post-31 riding that Diamond Dogs high -- the entire army in check, all my soldiers like Huey and Quiet, Sahelanthropus as a trophy... and 'Big Boss' -- everything after was just cold losses and bitter truths

I did side ops for two hours straight yesterday, without anything happening story wise.
Right now I have a yellow combat deployment mission (didn't earlier)
Do I really have to wait TWO hours for it to complete, to be allowed to continue the story?
The game design right here is straight up mind baffeling - and horrible..
did you not go back to mother base? because it sounds like you never went back to mother base

Combat deployment does nothing to the story afaik, there's just a series of progressively harder ones that are marked yellow.
Maybe they would have been had

battle gear not been a pointless tease of nothingness

Any tips for mission 16, it's a bitch of a mission!
Note - I haven't unlocked the cargo fulton yet.
Note - I haven't unlocked the cargo fulton yet.
The only thing I care about was cut from the game
They made it seem like all the
PFs
walker gears
battle gear
I'm on mission 10/13 and I feel like I'm way behind on R&D stuff like that... I tend to sneak past everyone and then not fulton anyone.
After the next mission I might just go on specialist hunt to fill up my departments.
Awesome, thanks!
If you're trying to be stealthy and don't have a lot of heavy weapons backup available, it's possible to lure the armor Skulls away far enough so that you sneak around them and into the truck. They always move in your general direction, but they're slow and their vision isn't all that great. If you have Quiet, you can have her run interference so that they're busy with her while you sneak into the truck.
I was in the same position as you. What I did
was just ride D-Horse around the back of the airport to where the truck is -- conveniently located by a portion of fence that isn't barbed wired at the top. Climb up over the fence, the truck's right in front of you, sprint to get in (the Skulls will spawn here but you can run right past them, it's like 2 seconds), drive the truck out of the base and out of the hot zone.
Probably won't do it on the first try -- took me like 10 attempts to do it this way -- but it's the quickest and easiest way to finish it with doing all the tedious trailing or grinding to unlock the cargo fulton. Also a guaranteed S rank

Without any need for your own heavy weapons or buddies, sneak up (or you could just sprint) to the tank/armored vehicle directly behind the truck - which triggers the cutscene of the skulls coming out of the truck. Then get into the closest armored vehicle - drive as far away from the truck as possible and the skulls will follow you. Just shoot them with whatever heavy weapon is on the vehicle you just got into. Be sure to constantly move while shooting (I was in reverse as I shot them).

Have you been visting mother base and also listened to all of the yellow tapes? Where are you in the story?
Spotted it on teepublic. 'Arcade Phantom Pain' or something. It's a nice design, looks good.

If you hug the wall of the building as you approach, they won't see you as they appear, then you can lead them away which gives you a bit more escape time.
Still need to bond with Quiet. Haven't used D Walker yet.

The best part of d-walker is he gives you no fall damage, and you can fall ridiculously far in some places. Same can't be said for d-horse.

Biggest PITA's were 'listen to all conversation' mission objectives. Don't fulton out containers or anything that might disturb the AI later on. Restarting checkpoint may fix the AI but often you end up not getting the objective.
And the Man on Fire, no chance to attack objective in the prologue. Keep him close so he never uses the fire column which always hits, shoot him when he's right up close and then a couple more times immediately so his projectile attack misses. He gets a chance to attack (and miss) but still seems to count.

I got that prologue objective on my first play but I must have been lucky, got hit the second time I tried.

It's quite exciting driving D-Walker around at high speed, in primary weapon aim-view and off cliff tops.
It seems to penalise you for keeping him at a long distance. There's one sharp corner where if he's really far behind, you don't even get a chance to shoot him before a successful projectile attack.

Yes, Africa. I saw IGN's walk through and they use the damn bridge I don't have to cross to get to the prisoner that's in a waterfall. I see no way of crossing at all without the wooden bridge. If I try to descend to the river below its insta-death due to height. Unless I'm missing a secret passageway I know going around is not an option because leaving the blue circle in the map means the side op gets reset (I need to rescue both without leaving the blue area of the map).
What are my options? Cars, communications equipment and satellite dishes are rebuilt by the enemy all the time in bases I already raided. Is the bridge really never going to be rebuilt? This is annoying!

You loose point if you use the checkpoint but most of S ranks are doable even if you restart from a checkpoint or if you kill some dudes. You just need to be quick enough.
Most of the mission are very easy to s rank once you know what to do/where to go first.

side op 150 unlocks 45
You have to get it for 100% if that matters to you. Also you get a costume to develop.
Speaking of. Does that include the extreme missions too?

Head a bit downstream and the two sides of the canyon get close enough to hop over, if it's where I think you mean.

by listening to all the yellow tapes minus the ai pod 10 min one, it unlocks usually after huey sentencing cutscene.

yeah you basiaclly have to do side ops or replay extreme/subsistence versions to unlock the rest of the actual missions/cutscenes.

Yes. There's about 6 major story missions left. However, don't freak out about having to do the repeat missions. They're optional. The main thing you need to do is the "important" (Yellow) Side-Ops, Missions, and Casettes.
Ok. Someone help me. I finished
and wat? There are
? I'm confuse. The fuck it means? Because I don't get all those to be continue in the cut scenes. I though it was the ending.
the first chapter

Jeez. That's the most horrible MGS story wise. What a bullshit. I love the gameplay but the story it's a total schizophrenic mess with this scheme.

I kinda like that, i think it was bold and brave
basically
the game reaches its climax with 31, and then progressively takes stuff away from you and slaps you in the face
Consider
Chapter 2 more of an epilogue. Just play the stuff marked important (missions, side ops, tapes) and you're free to ignore the rest if you don't want to play them.
The important stuff (specialists, blueprints) is labelled on the mission select menu. Soldiers with high stats is random and there is only really one companion you could possibly not notice and it pops up multiples, even outside of missions.
That's a shame.
The chap a couple of posts below says I'm basically into the epilogue now.
Disaster. Just as the story started to get going, it's already over!
