Security forces can use mortars, but I'm not sure how many can be used.
And yeah, the bear can take quite a few hits before going down. Just keep at it.
I keep reading about this one, but I got it on my first try. This was the case for most of the animals except Blanford's Fox, which took 3-4.

Use the Stun arm. One hit KO. Just make sure he doesn't notice you initially or it's night-night sweetheart for Snake.
Thanks for sharing. Pity the contents section isn't linked to the pages directly via embedded anchors. Maybe the full version does.
Edit: finally, an official infographic of incapacitation times:

What about the bionic sprint punch?
Was happy to see my FOB made it through the night without the nuke being stolen for once.

That KO lasts like 45 seconds so not too long.

Wow less than I thought, the rocket punch is similar duration I think.
The CQC combo is my fave option, it just looks so damn good and effective in motion:

Finished Chapter 1. What a ride this game has been.
Chapter 30/31 spoilers:
After this, I triggered two Quiet cutscenes when I free roamed a couple of times and flew back to Mother Base (Quiet was my buddy on both cutscenes):
Chapter 30/31 spoilers:
Sneaking into the facility to confront Skull Face was a bit nerve wracking at the third gate, with the helicopter circling the area more frequently. I ended up getting spotted and called air support on the area, with Pequod getting taken down. By the time that happened, I was near the gate coming from the left side of the area. I shot four soldiers and made a break for the gate. Took a couple of tries, since I'd either get spotted by a camera (I'd always suddenly sneak directly onto its sights) or a soldier spots me.
The drive to Sahelanthropus' area was exhausting to watch. As cool as it is to hear Skull Face's monologue and the music, it was tough to pay attention when I didn't need to be in control, and it's been drawn out for so long.
The Sahelanthropus battle was insane. It took me a good hour of repeated attempts to finish, but it was incredibly satisfying. I ended up quitting at one point to swap out my Killer Bee launcher with a stronger one - I was checking my inventory to develop a better version of the Killer Bee, when I scrolled through my available launchers and found one that dealt way better damage. The only issue with it is it didn't lock on target, but the rocket ammo for it makes quick contact anyway that it wasn't necessary. Took two more tries after this to beat that damn Metal Gear. Then I just felt silly using the Killer Bee when I had this better rocket all along.

One of the child soldiers dropped his necklace in a pit of dangerous gasses (chlorine?). Quiet jumped in to get it. Damn.
Then it was raining, and Quiet and Snake were playing in the rain. It was a nice, calmer moment after going through that Sahelanthropus battle.

I think all tranq rounds have the same duration but some rifles induce the effect quicker and are more effective, such as the M2000-NL which can be shot on any non-armored part of an enemy to take them down with a second or two. Whereas the Renov pretty much always requires a headshot.
I've seen (and used) the term 'potency' as well but I think it's more about the effective damage piercing.
Would have been good to see Stun rounds on the graph, yeah. I'd expect it would fall before the CQC to ground duration if included.
Ground Zeros has some very nice looking CQC animations, more so than Phantom Pain from what I've seen. Was actually from GZ CQC videos I was spoiled regarding a major plot device in TPP, so for anyone who hasn't completed the game I'd keep your eyes out of the comments sections

Pretty sure the CQC animations in TPP are the same as GZ, if not better.

He 'canceled' the combo at the end into a wall throw. The animations themselves seem the same overall.
Great vid.

what the fuck if i discovered that my mind would be fucking blown
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUCK
WOW
That little bugger was elusive for me too.
First couple times I deployed at 0600, nada. Third time I tried at 1800 and got him!

so is this the mission where you can possibly lose quiet if you don't use the butterfly emblem ?

This... is inspired.
The development grind in this game has already added dozens of idled hours to the playtime but this is so clever I might just try it.

When was the new things to develop coming out?
Grind resources and then sell the excess, they've changed it a bit now but early on I was farming tanks and the truck for mission eight. I'd also sell plants when I got over 2,000 (there was a 3,000 cap then and no online moving) and other things, like I had a lot of unused processed minor metal and would sell 10,000 or more of it at a time. Then there's the gun/mortar placements and other stuff.

So it looks like my game didn't hire the S++ soldier from the last event. WTF?
Where? I keep trying by the waterfall by Masa.

yeah apparently what triggers a process is a checkpoint plus and x amount of time
http://youtu.be/LmObLXIAKjA
here is a better video with a better mission lol this is the vid i was tryna find.. it explains other things also.. your MB level also determines the time it takes...its a good vid though. he has other farming vids also...
Just went through this mission. Holy shit! I wasn't prepared
Ehh... I guess I do this and play something else while this is rolling. Processing materials should be faster.
Wait wait wait what are you guys talking about how is it i don't know anything about this?
Also, which one is the last story Mission? I heard is
46

they're re-acquirable if you somehow never got any of them or lost them

New world order?
The way I thought it worked was an S++ got added to my online brig after I'd taken every platform, not when the event came to an end. Can't be totally sure if that's right.

The soldier was in my online brig, but didn't get transferred to my staff after the probation period ended. I send a support ticket to Konami, they had a form for FOB stuff.
I scattered the cages in that area. Placed one directly in front of the waterfall, one to the immediate right on the rock. One further back next to a tree and a few more on the cliff that leads to the village.
How come I can invade people with nukes with less that 1 million heroism?
Ability to invade people with nukes should be at 100k mark but my list has always been empty. Now that I hit 1million the list has 4-5 FOBs to invade.
So... you could have invaded guys with nukes 900k points ago
The list was empty though up until I hit 1 million mark. So I couldn't invade anyone with nukes before it.
If I find Far Cry 4 on sale is it still worth it after having played this game? I feel like MGSV is already the Far Cry game I always wanted.
Thing is, I'm more a fan of Far Cry 2 than Far Cry 3. FC3 had some good sandbox gameplay in it, but it was stuck between Ubisoft's typical game structure and a lot of uninteresting linear campaign missions. I imagine FC4 is just more of the same.

The list of random players you can invade indicates who has nukes. All you had to do was search for one.

Ah ok. Can't say if mine transferred or not, I've been collecting quite a few lately.
Search from where? None in my list had any and the nuclear equipped targets list was empty. Unless I've really missed something there really isn't any search option aside from the lists.

Post game spoiler:
Does anyone else find
added back into your staff occasionally?
No idea. But I only have around half that number of points and can see nuke targets, I think they only enabled the nuke list recently.
Does anyone else find
Huey randomly

I haven't seen Huey added back but I've seen Quiet added back to brig.
I guess that explains it. Did they do it this week?
Go to FOB Missions, the very first thing that shows up is a list of random players you can invade.
On the right side, you have the information of the player's base: Soldiers, defense level, resources and it says if they have a nuke or not.
just keep refreshing til you find a player with a nuke.
E: But if they've fixed the nuclear equipped targets list, you don't have to search at all now

Yes. I haven't tested it but it seems like it happens whenever I have an opening and

I just wish I could get rid of a couple really low ranked guys that at this point are just wastes of space.
