Ok, another question guys.
Should I be fultoning the machine guns and mortars?
I know they get scattered around my Base, but I don't see the purpose of them so far. They are just costing me precious gmp. I just want to sell all of them off, but don't want to get fucked if they are needed for a story mission or something like that.

Whereabouts in Afghanistan can I capture an oriental ratsnake? I've caught most of the super rare animals but this thing continues to elude me. Also where's the best place to get some spare Walker Gears? I need several for a dispatch mission.

I found myself doing 3 side ops in a row because they were close to one another on the map. Just used a supply grenade to keep my suppressors up and felt like such a badass when I finished my third side op.
The open world stuff becomes more evident (and enjoyable) as you are better equipped to handle longer sessions in the field.
You can sell them for more than they cost to Fulton in the 'Resources' section of the iDroid, I'm pretty sure.
I think I'm good since I keep going offline and not letting it give me the invasion tutorial. I have the benefits of the FOB but I've never completed the tutorial. No negative effects yet so I think I'm good.
Is there a reason to do this, btw? I've come across 'rare animal' areas before but wasn't aware of any benefit to capturing them.
They are used in your FOB's. Otherwise you can sell them for more then they cost to fulton and make a tidy profit.

How do I upgrade the suppressor tech? My tranq gun is becoming more annoying with its level 1 suppressor. I've been having to do resupply drops more frequently on the longer missions.
i want to stab the designer who decided that in episode 45 you can't go back to ACC to R&D more suitable gear or change your starting loadout and that your GMP doesn't reset if you retry so you just dig yourself into a red hole
the mission itself is fine-ish but my inability to finetune my loadout before dropping in and costing me GMP irks the shit out of me

The wormhole extractor is the best.
Forget about a tranquillizer gun. Take a suppressed smg and a shotgun and cripple folks. Leave them if they're crappy, or 100% extract them if they're decent.
any good shotguns I should develop? I haven't even touched shotgun development yet.
okay yeah and being in a fucking massive one-shot battle makes the otherwise minor parts of the control schemes being shit more obvious, like you never being quite sure if hitting up will switch to your other primary or just bring up the up menu without actually changing weapon, or getting stuck on level geometry or sliding off unavoidably, which is fine when sneaking (mostly) but is aboslutely shit if you're trying to avoid being shot by a tank
and you can't cancel out of the rocket launch recovery animation to dive, which means you can exchange fire and die
fuck this

Well I am early in the game so I'll keep at it then.
Ramblings about playtime up to mission 11:
Been taking it slow mostly spending time on side ops to build up my forces, started making the long trek up to the power plant when I bumped into Quiet then [Mission 11: Quiet] and I was quite surprised. Haven't done missions 9 or 10 yet. Thought the actual fight was fairly straight forward as far as sniper fights go. A lucky sandstorm let me get to the tower in the middle from which I could hit her pretty much anywhere she went. It would have been much better without the white indicator telling you exactly where she was shooting from.
Also, WTF at that scene on the top level of the Medical platform. How can something this significant be so hidden away without a hint. I don't think I would have found it if I hadn't read about it here.

So my PS4 CE shipped from Game UK on August 26th and still hasn't arrived.
The Game Tracking Order says shipped. Does it ever switch to delivered or is that also annindication it has not arrived?

Is there any reason to hang on to mortars/stationary machineguns you fulton to mother base? What about (fulton upgrade spoilers)
?
vehicles
Hmm, I'm not even sure which one I use. Probably one of the first.
So looks like there's a game breaking bug in the game? MGS twitter just tweeted this.

Konami found a progress breaking bug. I think I messed up... Damn!
The pump-action is pretty good. It's one of the first you can develop. You can also get a stun version, which is nice if you need some more soldiers

That mission is legit shit and not fun at all. I hid in the building and took shots with my rocket after I hear an explosion.
Apparently emplacements are used on your FOBs but I just sell them off.
Vehicles, however, are needed to work through the main 'Combat Deployment' missions where you sent your units out to retrieve GMP and materials etc. And more importantly, when you're not with D-Horse you'll want to get a supply drop of a vehicle to get around.
I'm pretty sure I used Quiet on Mission 29 and it didn't bug on me but that's good to know. Hopefully they patch it soon.

Roger, thanks!
Oh bejesus i just finished one of those exact missions with Quiet as buddy.
Got up to ep 31 though without any issues though, afterwards. So here's hoping.

I have just accepted the fact that while I enjoy these games, I am not very good at them.
I have done 3 main missions now (have not had a whole lot of time to play since launch) and I have gotten a B rank for every single one. Chick I believe is my ranking. Without replaying every mission, which right now I just do not have the time to do, I am pretty positive I am never going to get an S.
So is it people get an S the very first time they play? Or are people replaying the missions to get an S? Or restarting missions if they make a mistake?

Oh! I never realised that when you meet Eli,
there's actually a cutscene. He was already asleep in my playthrough since I went in at night, so I just tranqued him and took him out of there. No cutscene or "boss" fight at all.

I have gotten ranks all over the place. From S to D. Depends on the mission really. Haven't replayed any of them yet. Mostly I get A ranks.
Um wow, that's good to know...I was using Quiet on mission 29 last night and quit because I was having trouble and had to go to bed.
Guess I'll restart the mission with someone else...
Ahaha, that's gold.
I deployed at 6 but it must have still been slightly early as he was up and trying to kill me. Poor little bastard, he was all tuckered out when you got to him.

That's pretty hilarious and would be a good reason why he's so pissed at you. Lol

I completely forgot that MG Online existed.
It got delayed to October 6th on console and January 2016 on PC.
I was wondering this too, also is it possible to get quiet some actual clothes?

Some missions are easier to get an S Rank than others, but it all depends on the person. I've only have about 2-3 S rank missions.

Fuk mission 16. Jesus H Christ... I hate that enemy so much. Quiet was useless as well there.
Thanks.
Don't think so...but I am not that far into it. I just got her.
They sort of explain why she doesn't wear clothes...though I wonder if it was written in the game after all the sexism talk. .
