I've gotten to the part where new missions are old missions but harder in some way (stealth only! etc)
Do I HAVE to do those to advance the plot or can I just do the actual new ones?
Thanks!
BTW so obvious in the second chapter that Konami told Kojima to "wrap it up".

Do the actual new missions, side-ops, and listen to all the yellow tapes (starting and stopping them immediately counts).

Can anyone ID this barrel/suppressor? Stumbled across it on during a search.
Neither of the short 'S-Barrel's I've developed match the design.
Mike said:Here's my new standard sniper rifle, just unlocked & modified: MRS-73 NL .308 semi-auto suppressed tranquilizer sniper rifle. I went with the shortened barrel with integral suppressor, flashlight, laser, and 2x-8x variable range finding glass.
This thing is just as accurate as the bolt action tranquilizer rifle it replaced, and those 20 rounds per magazine sure are nice!

That's the AM MRS-4 grade 5.

Haven't upgraded that tree far enough so I didn't see it, thanks.
Finished going through Metal Gear 1 and 2 on youtube and it's pretty amazing how much of the core gameplay was already in place even then. Everything from the basic sneaking and enemy behavior, to card board box use and even post credits conversation and 4th wall stuff.
Also the speech BB gives Snake:
Combine that with Peace Walker's speech to MSF...
... and yeah, he lived for war.

Kids were tools for him to use in war as soldiers, to further the cycle of war. Still surprised some people expected him to go around killing kids in MGSV.
Congrats
Listen to yellow tapes and do yellow story missions and yellow side ops. If no new story missions are available then doing some regular side ops will fix that.
You can completely ignore the harder versions of previous missions (Extreme, Total Stealth etc.), they are there just for fun and not needed to progress the story.

It requires some grinding for sure, you cannot speedrun through it.
Here's why:
Chapter 2 does not have many main missions, but they unlock one at a time and you need to do three side ops to unlock one main mission.
Be sure to keep doing yellow-marked stuff, including listening to tapes.
Building nuke gives you 50k Demon points while disposing nuke removes 30k Demon points. You will have longer horn than what the base level is but you won't have the blood on you. Was really happy to find that out since bloody snake doesn't look that great.
Sweeeeeet. Thanks!

Guys, just logged in again and I'm suddenly 450.000 GMP in the red.
What the fuck happened?
What the fuck happened?
Are you offline? Has anyone invaded you? If neither then you lost your GMP for no reason. Happened to me once.

My PS4 was in standby mode, didn't log off in the game. But there was no mention of any invasion, don't think I even have the FOB yet.
So yeah, might have been for no reason. Luckily I had a big surplus of vehicles that I could sell off. Not cool though.

where the fuck have you been for so many years? seeing you feels like seeing Big Boss come back in MGS4 lol
oh shit. I accidentally developed a base development platform as one of the only 2 platforms on my first FOB (so i could have more base development staff and develop faster) so now how do I get rid of it? can i?

If your PS4 was in standby, then it disconnected from the servers, even though the game was still on. Just pause and reconnect online and your resources/GMP should return. If it doesn't then something wrong definitely happened.

hmmm what else can be sold without any worries, like surplus vehicles, and whats the purpose of having surplus vehicles?

I got Kojima without Ground Zeroes. *shrug*
It's already been answered but that's the rifle I use for the same purpose so I can carry my tranc sniper rifle. I probably should go through and check to see if any of the other parts that I've unlocked since I customized it improve it any.

My PS4 won't connect to my network tonight for some reason. Had a brief thought that I might get screwed by that new online thing, but thought surely not, I'm still pretty early in the game (only just got to Africa). Turned to game on to see my funds drop from 600k GMP to -500k GMP. How in the actual fuck does that even make sense?? I can't get out of that hole (two of my materials are even in the negative?) and don't want my staff to start leaving, so it doesn't look like I get to play any more Metal Gear until I sort this out.
Of course this is old news at this point, but what an absolutely stupid fucking system.

that NL tranq MRS sniper rifle but with the 67U ultra short barrel mod and a holo reflex sight
works pretty darn good and it helps me avoid becoming a demon too often haha ;p i sit pretty close to final change threshold so i need to have a sort of fulton quota for each sortie otherwise i'll turn bloody again ;(

I have beat 8 side ops in a row and I did an
extreme mission. Mission 46 still isn't showing up for me.......what gives?
Got my platinium yesterday (but with 99% completion, it's weird, maybe because I haven't finished the cyborg ninja suit). It was really great, otherwhise I would not have played for more than 300h.
Would have been my GOTY if there wasn't all the FOB shenanigans (forced to people, insurance) and the fact that the game seems incomplete. I wished it was a way to be meta about the title of the game but I think it's just the consequence of Kojima and Konami bad decisions.

Ah, I'll try that, thanks.
Well, if you're not into the FOB thing, the weapon emplacements I think and the diamonds (bottom one in the resource lists). Problem is, I heard that there was going to be a penalty for not participating in the FOB portion of the game (and you can use the weapon emplacements in your FOB, right?). Haven't really paid much attention though.

My espionage score finally returned from being zero! It even notified me to say my rank had risen. How bizarre.
1. How?
2. Twin Kojimas!
GZ was free everywhere for a while too.
There isn't a penalty for not participating in FOB. The 'penalty' is for not going online as if you have logged to servers your resources are put online. This means if you are offline you will not have access to all of your resources and it seems to be around 75% which gets put online.
If you guys need good soldiers, heroism points, espionage points.. just do the FOB event that's going on
You get A+, A++, S rank soldiers every time you complete an invasion
You'll get about 900 or 1k heroism points and the same amount of espionage points
Just take out every soldier, question them twice each, fulton them.
When the whole base is empty just destroy everything.. Cameras, mines, infrared sensors, weapon placements...
You have to go really fast or you'll run out of time but it's a great way to get soldiers and rank up your espionage

FOB event? do you mean just player base invasions? I've been getting good at just getting to the core without detection or alerts but i'm supposed to fulton guys too, and destroy cameras? How do those add to my winnings?
Go to FOB Missions and there's a tab called Events. I think it's the second one counting from the right.
There's an event going on where you have to invade an AI PF(it doesn't actually belong to any real world player) and you get cool rewards like an S+ rank soldier belonging to the 1st platform you invade and an S++ rank one belonging to the last platform you invade, if I'm not mistaken. And you don't have to worry about the owner of the FOB dropping in to defend it.
Extracting guys and destroying equipment gives you espionage points.
E: Besides in this event, every soldier is at least A+ rank so it's useful to extract them if you need high ranking soldiers.

oh wow thanks, glad you're back.
There needs to be a tutorial on all the detailed little things about FOB, I feel like the first time I played Dark Souls, lost like an innocent sheep in a forest packed with iron knights.
Sell dem vehicles, dem biological material and your soul to XOF :3

the new FOB events are pretty good... those GMP awards are huge and nice to see we get a S++ soldier reward not instead of a S+ one
4th S++ Combat unit here I come... hope he gets Tough Guy skill :O

I randomly lost a ton of espionage points somehow. Almost all of the FOBs I'm getting matched with now are new/low level players.
I got owned twice because stupid and owned myself 10 meters from the door by jumping feom the top level of the medicinal strut :/
It was fun, and so nice to know I wont be retaliated >_>

Records or whatever it's called... pretty sure one of them says how many items/upgrades you've developed.
