Wait, what. How the hell do you command Quiet from the map instead of the right tab on iDroid!?



Update your... forgetting the unit struts. The one unit (which is in the descriptions so please do READ them) that is upgraded will increase your changes of above A rank soldiers.

I have every strut leveled to 2. Hm, guess I'll just have to work on it.

Episode 33:

Wait so EP 33 drops you in with no weapons or anything ... fuck.
How the hell am I supposed to do this mission

Byonic arm!
No seriously,
sneak up on one of the guys on the street with a rocket launcher. take it sneak to the tent, launch the rocket into the tent and extract the mission.

Mission 28-29
I AM FUCKING SICK OF THESE BULLSHIT SKULLS.

These missions have been a complete chore to get through. I wouldn't mind but I knocked out and fultoned all the guards in 28 and then this kinda shit really makes that competely fucking pointless.

Okay, finally finished 18. Those
kids
are just so dumb.
At one point I had them inches from the chopper but they wouldn't move, I actually had to use the Wait command so I could then use the Go command to get them to keep going.

Why people are having problems with episode
16
? Is it because you're trying to defeat
the Skulls
? Because I just fultoned the truck and left the hotzone with D-Horse in my first try lol

I HATE mission 12

Chopper keeps seeing me

I used a helicopter support that bombarded it with bombs or something before I went into the area. Like the first tower before you see the d walkers. After him the chopper stays in one area for a bit, that's when I called support to destroy his ass.

They ain't even that difficult if you use the tanks that are there anyways. Defeating all of them nets 50000 points.

So what happens when you fill the buddy affinity meter thing? I was one away with the horse but then the dog became available so I just started using him.

Seems theres a virus on MB. They keep asking me to identify it, but I have no idea how, or even if I need to do anything

Tried that, chopper was destroyed 3 times :(

I'm in now, the cutscene with
Huey
is playing. I'm dreading this
Metal Gear
bit.
 
So how vital is this stuff I'm hearing about Quiet? I'm only on mission 16 but I'm worrying that I'll miss story stuff if I don't level up her bond. I REALLY fucking hate playing with her so I'd rather avoid doing that if it wasn't necessary. Is there any way to get her to stop humming, I'd enjoy her as a buddy more if that was possible.

You have to look at the list of quarantined staff members and find out what all of them have in common. Based on that, go through the list of your staff and quarantine everyone with the same feature.


If you don't want to find out for yourself, here's the solution:


Everyone quarantined speaks the language Kikongo. Quarantine everyone who speaks Kikongo, if you've done it right Ocelot will comment that death toll has plumited. People will still occasionally die unless you do the next two story missions.

There is a common trait that the first sick have, put them all in quarantine.

If you really want to know....spoiler

How the hell am I supposed to do mission 16 without d horse? That's dumb.

I don't get this mission. I hate time limits.

Yeah, I just finished that mission for the first time and I hated it. I don't want time limits in stealth games. I went without the horse and just ran to the objective because... I don't know why. I guess I wanted to level up other buddies.

But I failed the first time because I ran out of time and had no idea where I was supposed to go. When I realized what to do, I just ran to that area and waited for the vehicles. Put some C4 on the road just in case but I shot the dude out of the truck.

Then I stole one of the tanks to take out a few of the cipher dudes. They finished off the tank before I could get them all so I got the others by placing C4 down and getting them to walk over it, then I'd detonate. The bad part was the other tank just disappeared after the first one was blown up by them. I wanted to extract it. Oh well. No clue if this was really a spoiler but I tagged it just to be safe.

I just realized that Kojima being a Bowie fan (I know I've seen him talk about him on twitter before, and now he's using his song in the game) may mean that the whole "say Jareth into the microphone" thing from PT may have been a reference to his character in Labyrinth.
 
So what's the tank I need for one external mission? Not on my PS4 so I can't post a screenshot, but I think you know what I mean as it got asked in this thread.

This game is so good, i´m loving every second of it. Played 10 hours and only 5% complete :) The replayability in this game is amazing, will probably go for run 2 right after the end. Thank you Kojima for this wonderful game
 
Mission 19 has to be the easiest I've played so far.

Waited for the targets to meet, then start getting into their jeeps where they were tightly clustered then bombarded them with stun grenades, fultoned both then fucked off into the sunset.

I have a tank now as well though for some reason, when I roll up to Armoured Vehicle side ops it won't let me use the cannon or machinegun. Lame.

Still, fun to just see people scatter as I come rolling over the hills, blowing their watch towers to smithereens while blasting Billy Idol.

Alright everyone, forget the story and gameplay and all that, here's the real question; Bowie's version of The Man Who Sold the World or the one used in-game (by Midge Ure)?

I think I like the one in the game more
Midge Ure for sure. It just fits so much better.

Is there any place where there are armored vehicles and/or tanks outside of main missions? Like, randomly at bases?

I need to fulton some heavy equipment, been running around like a madman but I can't find a tank anywhere.

It's the caravan mission right? I didn't need d-horse or anything.
there is an intel file showing you the route they will take, and near the outpost there is a jeep guarded by three soldiers if you want to use that

There is always a file or a guard giving you useful info.

Oh I got that.
I just had no idea where they were stopping and always missed them. The Intel should've highlighted the stops it made.

I started seeing lots of As and Bs when I finished work on some level 3 struts so maybe it scales with MB

Maybe it does. I can also confirm that I've been seeing a lot more of A and A+ soldiers, even while doing Side Ops. I'm in Africa, I think.... mission 17 now? At around mission 15 on, I've noticed a lot more high level soldiers, even back in Afghanistan when I return to do Side Ops there. My MB struts are also at lvl3 or so, and capacity is mostly maxed out.

I AM NEVER replaying this mission

Fuck that.

Ok, how does the checkpoint system work in this game? Do I get to keep all the guys I've fultoned if I die or load a checkpoint?
