If you do them again, they give you GMP, that is why they continue to show, but you already cleared those

So I can basically do them an unlimited amount of times in order to gain GMP or is there an actual limit? Thanks.

There's a 5 million limit, and later on it becomes very easy to solve any GMP problem imaginable by selling excess resources so there isn't any need to redo side ops unless you're looking to extract people.

The way an alert spreads in this game is still awful. Someone sees you and shouts out in surprise, but no one hears it if you are able to subdue them immediately afterwards. If they are subdued a fraction of a second beyond that, and they haven't even done anything in addition to that surprised shout, somehow everyone in the entire base knows exactly where you are.

I don't see why the alerts can't start at a 40m radius, or ideally, go back to MGS3 days of making gunfire or a radio request necessary to alert other enemies. I can't even stand people up during alerts. So frustrating.

yup
its such a bizarre step backwards
id much prefer a shortened or removed reflex mode if they went to that system
hive mind insta-alert is so mgs1

Is there any benefit to be gained by fully upgrading my FOB? I already have the tech I wanted developed, my R&D is level 67, Intel is 62, everything else is close to 60 (except the Security team at level 37). I don't intend to invade anybody, haven't been invaded yet. I just don't see a point to upgrading.

Okay. Personally prefer if it was all a one and done but good to know. Thanks.

I'm around 40 hours in and I just finished the first chapter. I'm finding it extremely difficult to work up the desire to finish chapter 2 despite really liking most of my time with the game.

My tip is not to spend too much time on the side ops. I've done a fair chunk of those and I was starting to feel the same way, so now I'm just focusing on the main missions. I'm pretty sure you can just go back and do the side ops if you wish after you finish it (ie they wont disappear from the list after a period of time)

If you know what missions to do, you can do Chapter 2 in like 10 hours.

Assuming you just want to finish the story.

Can you explain this to me? What does wearing it do?

I was spoiled on

, but I never actually read up on the mechanics.

Edit: Also is there a way I would have just stumbled upon this myself?

Is there anything else in the game that can be easily missed?

 

[Hero]

Okay so I just beat Chapter 1 and am pretty happy with the game.

I've heard Chapter 2 is very polarizing and the ending is bad. Should I go on? How long does Chapter 2 take?

If you

wear the butterfly emblem, Quiet won't leave (it just halts that story line until you take it off). It's not really a spoiler since nothing in the game tells you it works that way.

It caps your bond with Quiet at 85% (I think). To progress her story you need 100%, so this prevents that.

I swear I play this game in constant fear that I'm doing something wrong.

They are, and no, you don't need to do them to complete the story

Chapter 2 isn't as long as chapter 1. A lot of the missions are harder versions of old missions. Just play the yellow missions and do side ops until more yellow missions show.
The ending floored me tbh. I'm still thinking about it. People here like to exaggerate. The story is fine. The only thing is that the pacing is kind of off. Now you may not like what Kojima did with the story, but that comes down to personal opinion mostly. I was waiting for the game to get bad in chapter 2 and it never did. So don't worry about it. Ch 2 also has one of the game's best missions: Mission 43

Get Quiet to 100% bond and make sure you don't have a butterfly on your emblem.

Max bond with quiet. Don't wear butterfly emblem. Do side ops until her side op appears. It'll take you into mission 45.

 

[TheSeks]

Spoiler

Be Max Bond with Quiet. Remove the Butterfly Emblem if you have it on. Do Side-Op 150 once you remove the Butterfly Emblem and are told that Quiet has left the building.

Be prepared before you do this. Set your sortie for that trigger point to full combat gear with a rocket launcher in the 4-6 range preferably.

I've been riding around in a truck all day. Going to keep going all night. Hope to wake up with a lot of gas.

So apparently replaying Mission 43 is a sure fire way to get back your demon status.

The thread title is pretty good, I thought.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a spoiler or not (It's Chapter 2 stuff), so if it is it would be disqualified as a contender for OT3's title but...

[Big-ass Ramp]

total noob question, but is there a reason I should put the guards to sleep versus just killing them when I have them in a choke hold?

 

[Frostinferno]

So I've heard there's a grind necessary somewhere around the end. Is it side-op related? If so, will keeping up with side ops while doing the story missions prevent a grind later? Or is it something that isn't even available to do until you get to that point?

To extract them (which you can't if they're dead).

I have no idea how it works, but I know there are missions that aren't required at all. I did the side ops as I went along so I couldn't say if there's a grind or not if you don't keep up.

that's it though?

You get better ranking opportunities for not killing, and guards aren't nearly as alerted by seeing a sleeping person.
