mission 45 is too hard

With the right equipment you can beat it. If you have a level 5/6 rocket launcher you can just shoot then hide behind cover then sneak to another cover and shoot again. When that anti-air tank (the one with the airborne rocket launchers) comes through just go in the building and take it out or sneak up on it and fulton it.

Episode 30:

Got to Ep: 30 yesterday which seems just like a build up for what I assume is the boss battle in EP: 31. Pretty funny how when "Sins of the Father" starts playing, my wife looks up expecting some grandiose moment and she basically goes "this music is really dramatic for a car ride."

That makes me sad because it's true. :(
Mission 28.

Welp. At least I got the chance to scope the place out earlier during free roam.
Holy crap, this as well. I got so anxious each time I saw that in my first run through.
 
do the side ops missions keep resetting indefinitely or do they stop if i keep doing them over and over?

I'm at story mission 13 if that matters.

I just recently finished all 157 side ops and there's still about a dozen that are still there indefinitely. Pretty sure they'll be there no matter how many times you try them.

Mission 28 Skulls weren't as bad as the Mission 16 ones. Sure it took me two tries and it's the only time in the game Quiet got injured, but it feels like a very winnable fight with NVGs and a sniper rifle. I'm not sure but I think smoke grenades might help too, especially since your NVGs can see through the smoke.

Yeah there's always 1 side-op active per region in the map (I'm not sure exactly how big those regions are though), regardless of whether you've already finished all of them or not.

they seem to stay completed for a period of time though. I just wasn't sure if I should be completing all the available side ops first before continuing with the main story missions.

I guess it's doesn't matter.

After taking a few showers and switching uniforms, im still completely covered in blood. Is there any way to get rid of this or did I somehow someway activate some kind of bug or glitch of always being covered in blood? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You've reached devil status because you were an asshole in the game.

You cannot wash the blood off.
 
LMFAO This so me every time they pop out of nowhere. I started to ignore the intro credits because it spoils the surprise and tension.
that was me during Mission 1 even lol

i'm like, oh, it's starring big boss, miller... ok, it's like a movie intro, that's c.... WTF?! Skulls Parasite Unit?!

The cut scenes and storyline are making mission 30 feel pretty urgent, but I've got a lot of side ops and other things backed up from
right before the outbreak
. Should I go ahead and just get this main stuff over with?
What happens if I don't go ahead and complete Eli's Challenge?

Edit:
Oh, and I lost 60 goddamn people from the outbreak.

Edit 2:
I've had Quiet at max bond for a while but can't customize her or see that cut scene. Is that locked until later?

i'd recommend
playing through the episodes and avoid side stuff for the time being

^^ Pretty much this. You're a demon now.

If you want the blood to come off, start doing heroic things: fultoning animals, visiting the animal conservation platform, fultoning child soldiers...

Checking out some youtube vids and it's crazy how much creativity this game allows in handling missions.

One of my faves is someone setting up a booby trap my sneaking up and sticking C4 on a guard's butt, without him noticing, before they drive off to meet the target. He then waits for the guards to meet the target and then boom.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I loved every fight with the Skulls. They were great, and really kept me on my toes.

The only thing I didn't like is that I wasn't playing my game combat focused, so every time I came across them I was underprepared.

You can stealth your way out of most every encounter with them, but its not quite as enjoyable.

Once I transitioned to a more battle-heavy playstyle i enjoyed them more.

In terms of loadout? You can always have the helicopter drop a new one for you during a mission so not being properly equipped is never really an issue.
 
Finished the game with the
Mission 46
ending. And I have to say,
I fucking knew that was going to happen from the beginning. Even then I kinda prefer this ending instead of what we all had in mind before release.

Listened to the truth tapes and I need more. I want to see things talked in the tapes. Such a lust for more information.

Oh yeah also
Fuck Huey.

And now to see the FOB stuff finally.

Is there a way to replay the main story in the proper order with the cassette tapes? Meaning, after a cut scene or mission a tape would be available to listen to. But now that I've finished I don't know the exact order. And I'm definitely not starting a new game, so don't suggest it please.

he probably means in terms of development. I had lvl 1 rocket launcher, no lmgs, lvl 1 sniper when I was at traitor's caravan. Got better by metallic archea but not by enough

That was just another what's up at Motherbase cutscene. There are quite a few of those.

Just finished the prologue, that was intense. I really enjoyed it, hope the rest of the game fares well, I'm not too optimistic about the open world theme.
