Never used the D-Walker. Maybe I should give it a try.

Thanks.
no sadly. The rockets are pretty powerful though. And a supply drop will take care of it.
Bump.
Believe me, I'm truly sorry and embarrassed because I know my questions are dumb. But I gots to know!
My need to do everything hurts.

Anyone else enjoy just flying around Mother Base in the helicopter? He takes his sweet time too so you get a good run of the whole place.
Its really fun once you figure out how to skate and strafe

Use the cardboard box at those drop spots near the helipads instead. Much faster.
Okay wow. Mission 42 Spoilers:
Chapter 2 is awful so far. The Extreme versions of things are just the Skulls so far, and the next on the list is the helicopter crash with Code Talker... a mission I thought was bullshit enough the first time round.
So now not only are the Skulls involved again, but its the mission where you HAVE to fight them to win.
Is there an easier way of taking down these armoured one that I don't know about? I have a maxed out rocket launcher (the second one) and it still does fuck all against these assholes.

That's comforting. There is no way in hell I'm going to replay the "extreme difficulty" version of Episode 29.
For me it's been "run halfway across the map again" every time.
To be specific:
- Do all yellow Side Ops (except 150, you can do that after the true ending if you want but still a pretty important op)
- Listen to all yellow tapes
- Make sure you get a very important scene concerning

I'm stuck on Episode 45. Even with rank 4 armor and a rank 4 Grom, these tanks somehow manage to keep killing me. Even when I'm inside the building, where their shells can't hit me, I just suddenly die for absolutely no reason at all. Even at full health, something just keeps one shot-ting me. I don't know what the hell his going on.
I'd abort the mission if I could, but nope! You can't abort this mission. I thought this would just be a routine stealth mission, but nope! Nobody said I'd be walking into a tank battle.
I had to manually order my equipment through the iDroid because for whatever reason, they won't let you go back to the load-out screen. Even if you hit restart mission, there's no way to back out.
Words cannot express how much this mission is infuriating me right now. Maybe something in Navajo or French.

do side ops instead of those missions to unlock the next story part. You don't need to touch the remixed missions

It took me 4 more hours after I last wrote in this thread.
I had the chicken hat on, I fultoned it (had to grind side ops to get it, then grind to get grade 3 launcher). the tank drive past me, I sit in my box, I pop and heatshot the driver, the Skulls appear, I am right next to the truck. I fulton. They stop the fulton. I fulton immediately afterwards, mid animation. As I give quiet the shooting order. I had just put a helicopter flare (it cant land due to the mist) - Truck gets fultoned. I call D-Horse, I jump in the tank waiting for D-Horse, they go bananas- i try to shoot, they dont take damage. D-Horse appear, and I get on D-Horse as I jump out of tank.
Here is the difference: For all those hours I struggled, I walked within the hot zone. The hot zone is massive, and inside the zone the Skull will follow you forever being invincible. When I exited the hotzone running away from the gates of the airport, it worked immediately.

I cried with joy. And now I have to sleep.

I don't kill anyone, lol. I'm using my tranq gun/ sniper + Quiet (tranq sniper).
D-Walker kills people, right?

Good gosh, I'm scared. Story has been fine so far trough my first 30 hours. If this is worst than MGS4 I'll be shocked but I'm worried now.

It seems like it's much faster than D-Horse. You can't be seen on it though unlike D-Horse which hide can behind as you trot along.
get on stop of a building and just spam them with rockets, after about 20 supply drops you'll have killed them all. It takes forever but it's easy.
Now and then they'll teleport up there to melee you but if you run away from them they walk back down.

Is there any reason to keep these d and e tier soldiers around in the waiting room or just fire them?

To be fair, if you are relatively new to the series, you might have your expectations in check better than hard core fans. Who knows, maybe you'll like it. Or maybe you won't.

Please. I beat her with just the tranq gun. It was a long and boring process, but I did it.
Mission 32 (no story spoilers)
I went on foot, 1km. There was a checkpoint 100m from the target, and the patrols were still calling for a vehicle. Died 2 times. Then I Threw a smoke grenade, fultoned the target, got out. Called the chopper, got on it, put the controller away and was enjoying The Man Who Sold the World when my chopper gets destroyed.
... when it boots up again, I'm back at the start of the mission instead of the original checkpoint. Worse than that, the checkpoint that happens after isn't the same as before, it's one further away, and the patrols are already with the car extracting the target.
I have no idea how checkpoints work in this game.

In episode 20 the boss fight/encounter is so poorly thought out. Only 2 opportunities to damage
and then you don't even have enough time to call the chopper. I have the level 2 chopper body and even then I had to call it before I damaged him to be able to extract in time.
The more I play of this the more I think the moment to moment sneaking gameplay is the only thing that saves this from being complete trash. Which is a shame because that part is so fun.

Seriously just ran around looking for Haoma for a very long time. Couldn't find any.
This mission legit had me kicking my couch but here are some tips that helped significantly on my numerous retries:
-
Make sure to utilize chopper and fire support as much as you can.
- Don't wait for the auto supply drops.
- If there's an opportunity to fulton closeby enemy BMPs, take that chance
- Make use of the building's cover. A LOT

Is there a way to do Mission 29
nonlethal? I have tried using all manner of tricks and I'm completely out of guesses now. This is the first instance I've failed so many times that the game suggested I wear the Chicken Hat. ;-;

The best way to beat her is using
stun grenades, it takes 2-3 and she is out.
The funniest way though is
call in a supply drop on her location. The box will break over her head and take out half her psyche bar.
I don't know what the fuck is going on, honestly.
I finish mission 23, I get 20 rank E staff members for some reason, they get put into the security team. then I dismiss all of them, finish mission 24 and there I get them again. now just finished mission 25 and the same shit happens, except this time I can't dismiss them because of whatever happens after mission 25.

No need to.
Keep playing, there's a side op later on MB that unlocks her I believe.

That's exactly what I've been doing. But something keeps killing me and I don't know what it is. It always happens shortly after the chopper shows up.

Go to the 'Customise' option on your iDroid, when in your ACC chopper.
I think it's done in the Customize menu on the mobile command platform thing. You know, when you're on the chopper in between missions.

I initiated the mission before I was well supplied, and I was too stubborn to go back and get what I needed. So the only thing that could knock her out that I had was my tranq pistol.

Go to the ACC/chopper and enter the customize menu. It's how you customize all mechanical equipment in the game.
They really should've explained that part better. I think I went 30 hours before realising I had to do that...

Sixshooter grenade launcher, and equip Quiet with the heavy sniper. Stay on the roof of the closest hangar.
Airstrikes.
It's most likely the tank shells which is why I can't emphasize that last point enough. Also important to run around a lot too while you're at it. In fact, don't fire at them from the same spot more than once
Also, here's a vague tip for the ending part of that mission
Follow those footsteps

It's the playstyle I have been rolling with since the start, I'd like to keep it that way. It'd be a huge misstep to force me into using lethal force when I might not be very invested in lethal weaponry because of it.
I had a lot of trouble with it just using normal weapons but using D-Walker with the gatling gun made it a piece of cake
(at least on normal but I can't imagine it being too much more difficult on extreme as it was really easy on normal with the walker)
Edit: oh wait, are you allowed buddies on extreme?
