I just finished missions 25 and 26 and
the plague has hit my base, soldiers are getting shunted into quarantine on the regular, etc. etc.
Is this something I need to worry about with any urgency? Seems like the longer I play the more pop-ups I'm getting about dudes getting moved into quarantine 30 and 40 at a time. They said something about me going in and moving anyone who seems like they might be infected to quarantine manually, but I have no idea how I'd be able to tell. Just got the mission to go meet with my intel operative who supposedly has a lead on this stuff, so should I just keep doing story missions till this resolves itself? Will I screw my base over if I do any side ops or free roam or otherwise waste time before then?

You can still tranq them right in the fucking face if you're up for it.

Stun guns are your best friend.
Check all your infected soldiers' attributes, pre-quarantine everyone that speaks the same language(s) as them, then progress main story as fast as you can.

Oh man the enemy has started used them decoys, I learnt this only when I tried grabbing one of them and almost shit myself. The AI adapting to my tactics is scary, they tend to have helmets and some of them are trained to resist tranquilizer rounds. As well as other stuff.

Or sleep grenades, CQC, hold ups, stun grenades. Not to mention ruining their helmet supply chain with combat missions, which I would recommend as by the time I hit the thirties, I hadn't really done that and everyone had helmets, masks, shields, riot gear and shotguns. This made the above options a bit more complicated TBH.

I'm getting kinda burned out by the side-ops. They are far too similar and way too easy. They could have easily shaved off like 60 of them. Less is more.
There is a way for you to find the reason yourself and act accordingly. I figured it out pretty fast and managed to barely lose any men - was way too proud of myself there. It will resolve itself but you can limit the losses.
29 isn't nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

I don't understand why some of the Side-Ops are Side-Ops and some of the Episodes are Episodes.
For instance, extracing
For instance, extracing
Emmerich was a Side-Op

S Ranking mission 21 is impossible. In fact I already know S Ranking everything is gonna take some serious luck. Fuck.
That never seemed to make a difference to me. I always had that deployment done and everyone stil had their fudging helmets.
Also, theres a deployment to lower the usage of security cameras... lol? I think I saw one camera in the entire game in
the last mission with skullface
You will continue to lose soldiers until you quarantine everyone/do enough main missions to get a cure worked out. If you don't quarantine you'll lose a lot more
How to tell:
Check your soldiers who are already quarantined. They all speak a common language

How do you even get that scene?

Yup, just climb on the hangar roof and fire off grenade launcher/machineguns/quiet. Only the groundspike/melee can hit you there.

22 hours in and just finished mission 16. Dang this game is long

You can still shoot them in the face for instant knockout.
Only getting to the place he was in was a side-op, the actual mission was a main mission.
I just did that mission, btw. Favorite one so far. I'm guessing I'll
finally have access to Africa
Lol, I S-Ranked that mission on my first try.
I ran all the way a long the side of the outer walls on the airport and found a spot in the back I could climb over. I was basically right next to the command tower, walked in, tranq'd the target and the arms dealer, threw them outside and fultoned them and then ran over to a material container and fultoned myself out. In and out in 5 mins perfect stealth
Not really.
As soon as you arrived you got thrown into a main mission. The side mission was just a hook so you would get there and be surprised by Quiet's chapter. It was trying to surprise you with a boss fight where you didn't expect it. The actual mission is just to go there to start the Hellbound mission and be maybe surprised by the Quiet mission since it'S on the only way leading there.
I'm 41 hours and just hit the same point. Every side op until now is done though, 31% finished them. *phew*
So about Mission 20
I ended winning against the man of fire in a lame way because it just started raining and he disappeared. The proper way to beat him is to knock him into the pool of water, right? I was using a shotgun to stop him but I wasn't really sure how to knock him on his back consistently, I only got him to fall over twice and every other time I shot him he just got kind of stunned for a second

yes but its so short. i just hoped in the d-walker, drew them away, then fired away. 16 took me hours hahaha

Yeah, same here, that particular item has yet to trouble me.
Then again, I said the same thing about
mines
Worse: it's just for combat operations. You don't even choose to deploy it, it's for operations that explicitly require it. It's really one of these half assed things they threw in to tick a box or something.

How many main story missions are there?

But what about getting the post mission 31 spoiler.

I just give them a shot to the arm and wait a little bit. (Or to their face if they're walking towards me, but I try to avoid that.)
I had those exact thoughts.

I would save some sidemissions until later where you need to complete some to get new main story missions.

Can't you just redo the same ones again? I have 16 available for re-doing.
It's not FOB, it's combat deployment. And I've done a shitton of FOB, so fun.
Yeah im about 35 hours and just finished episode 12. Got 3 side ops to do. Don't understand how some people are steam rolling through this!

Having just done 29, you saying that is very distressing.
It's very bullshit. I had so much trouble with it the game gave me a fuckin CHICK hat.
What are combat missions?
When can you do them?
Once you make a Combat team through normal gameplay you can send them on missions like assassins creed etc

In the field/free roam? No. It was cut from the game, according to the CE strategy guide.
Whats the point of locking on with that through?
I get offered the Chicken Hat every other mission. Be glad I'm not in charge of national security.

Wtf seriously.
The Resources tab is what I've been totally neglecting. I just hoard everything thinking that is what my GMP is based on. So, is everything I fulton just stored there waiting to be sold off?
