Blame yourself. There are at least 4 different ways to beat the man on fire.

I took them out using the D-walker, then drove the truck out of the mission area.

Man. The relative lack of checkpoints can be fucking punishing, and often not in a good way. Just blew a solid 45 minutes and got placed back before even approaching the area. Gotta put this down and come back a day or two later so I don't destroy my controller lol.

If I recall correctly, there's one right by
the landing zone that's near Da Wialo Kallai (east of the village on a hill)

Put sinfull butterfly on quiet, run around marking the adds, die.
Respawn kill all the adds, then kill boss's, free s rank.

I don't think you can do this,
perhaps with a lot of patience if you grind for the shotgun. Or just solely counterattack them. And there is always stuff around to toy with if you have no weapons.
But to fulton them or rank, you don't need to do it. I did 28 with tranq sniper but it didn't make any difference.

To your first question, not as far as I can tell. It seems a lot of the required missions can be done out of order. Plot important ones will all unlock in order.
To the second, no idea, sorry.

I don't think I've used him even once since unlocking him. What I thought was odd about the buddy system in regards to D-Walker was building "trust". He's a robot. Put the 1 where the 0 was and have instant trust. Huey has failed us.
This kinda bummed me out too. I had essentially non-lethal'd almost every mission and found it annoying having to go full battle mode to beat them.

It can really deal out damage. Make sure you upgrade.
In addition to fultoning them, children can be extracted by either putting them in the chopper or by putting them in a jeep and then fultoning the jeep.
I got past that downed helicopter fight first try with this strategy: Get on the roof and fire rockets. If they are near the VIP then switch to an assault rifle. When you run out of rockets call in a supply drop. Dodge their rocks. It is that simple.
The yellow tapes are definitely not required. They are recommended of course.
Yes. Eventually you will see a side op called Quiet. And then you can select her before a mission.
There is not really a point to dismissing security staff. The game seems to prioritize the more useful struts when you use R3 to sort them.
There are small water tanks in the warehouse, and if you use Quiet to distract him you can hide from him, call the chopper, and estract without him ever seeing you. Which is what I did.
That fight is absolute bullshit. It's legitimately one of the most cheap, frustrating encounters I've ever experienced in a videogame.
Unless you're hell bent on 100%ing the game, do yourself a favour and don't bother with the [Extreme] version. It's possible to finish the game without touching that garbage fight again. Go do some Side Ops until the next cutscene progresses the story again. Should only take a couple.

Air shotgun, stun grenades, waterpistol.
The Skulls wont die though even if you use big guns. They always get stunned.

Just go with that one.
To make the process faster remember you can use Square to select multiple people at once.

you can beat him? I just bailed out on the chopper and started spraying him with a mini gun in panic mode.

Had to make the difficult decision of firing a dozen people since each unit is near their current max limit and I don't have enough resources to build an additional platform for each of them They were all E ranks across the board and some of them have been around for a long time, but it still hurts to let them go. Those large containers should at the very least contain materials in quantities of over 1000

Not all of them share the same three. But that one is used among all of them.
there sure is a point, I don't want rank E staff in my MB.
and that still doesn't explain why the game keeps giving me 20 rank E soldiers for no reason.

Its a piece of shit.
But get on the roof, pepper them with rockets or LMG and let Quiet snipe with Sinful butterfly from the far away perch. All you need to do is dodge that cheap rock insta kill.
Sick, thanks for the response! I really appreciate it. Regarding my first question, reason I ask is (Missions 9 & 10 spoilers)
10 is a prisoner rescue mission that'd I'm currently much better equipped to handle than 9, which is a timed vehicle demolition mission. Plus there's a side op that'd be convenient to hit up on the way to 10. So it'd be better tactically, and really all around for me to do 10 right now and 9 later. But I was worried something might get messed up if I swapped it, even though neither of these missions seem particularly story-relevant.
yeah well I guess I'll go with Kikongo.
can you at least read the post you quoted, all of them do share the same three.

There's a Waiting Room you can send them to. Those poor soldiers, now without a home, without a heaven.

They are volunteers. You will always get different ranked staff that join up. They are automatically replaced if you sort with R3.
Sub_Level

Press R3 to sort them all at once. If you are at full capacity, leftovers will be sent to the waiting room.
Afghanistan. It is even one of the optional objectives in the early missions.
aren't volunteers coming from the combat mission or whatever? And there you usually see what rank you will get. that's not the case here, if you mean those volunteers.
replaced with who? If I sort them out they're still on the base, I just don't want to get them constantly like this.
see I'm not even close to full capacity, got a huge boost after creating a FOB. I still have to manually dismiss them I guess.

Jesus, that's a small city.

After a certain point, volunteers will join of their own accord without you fultoning them. You don't have a choice in the matter.
Lower ranked staff will be replaced with higher ranked staff if you sort automatically to the best of their abilities.

That's the cap. Start spending on development projects.
Hmmm....I must find a jeep.

Does anyone know if its possible to check how many items you have developed? I want to see how close I am to getting that trophy to develop 300 items.

Still stuck on mission 45. I've been constantly on the move, calling in airstrikes, fultoning any vehicles that get to close. I AM ARMED TO THE BLOODY TEETH!
And I still can't finish this mission. Indirect hits from a tank cannon are enough to 1 shot you to death.
I'm about ready to give up at this point. This mission is just downright unwinnable.

Do I need to do the
missions that are set at a higher difficulty to complete the story?

Ah, damnit!
Kojima really wanted us to feel pain. Well I guess I'm done with the game.

If it is somewhere it is most likely under Trials or Records (something like that) that you can access from the ACC or maybe the pause menu.
Sub_Level

Do the yellow Side Ops and yellow Missions. When you have exhausted those you can do a Side Op then return to the ACC. You will know you are getting somewhere when you get more and more tapes on

Consider doing the hard missions though. They are not so bad

Whelp, only took me three fucking hours to
pacify The Quiet. The fight would have been a piece of cake if I just wanted to kill her. But trying to take her out with a tranq pistol was tough. She killed me twice when I was only a shot or two away from finishing her. Got that bitch in the end finally though.

Too afraid to browse the thread, so apologies if this has been asked already - how is the play time calculated? Does it continue to tick while on PS home menu? I have completed 10% and the timer shows 27h, surely O can't have played that much... Right?
Accept the little chicken hat. Most enemies will ignore you as long as you are not too close. Then you can just fulton the tanks etc. Prioritise the tanks at the back. They were what killed me the most.
