[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;48633810]Come back to it when you upgrade.[/QUOTE] upgrade what though lol?

How do you get a FOX rank? Its description says that you have to complete a mission with stealth. Fox Hound is perfect stealth/no kills so I'm wondering what the difference is exactly. Do you have to refrain from using weapons/CQC and get no alerts for FOX?

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;48633476]I hate how the game punishes you for playing non-lethally by making every single fucking soldier adapt to wear helmets and carry shields[/QUOTE] Well they have to up the difficulty somehow, otherwise you can steamroll everything with the tranq pistol you start with. Even then you can get your combat unit to reduce how many helmets there are, and later on in the game you can get the (mild gear spoilers) [sp]Rocket Arm, which is a really OP tool to deal with helmet/riot gear soldiers really easily. You can stun a whole squad of riot guys with one charge of the fist.[/sp]

Fun how I can't create a session to defend my FOB but when I retaliate against the guy he can defend his and blow me the fuck up thanks Konami Fuck it, guess my base is open for business come take whatever you want I can't do anything about it

I tried everything so I just assume that you can't fulton enemy gunships. Which is a shame.

didn't they say in the gameplay demos that you can stand on containers and be fultoned back to your base? how do you do it? every time I try, snake just slides off.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;48633945]didn't they say in the gameplay demos that you can stand on containers and be fultoned back to your base? how do you do it? every time I try, snake just slides off.[/QUOTE] It's the second E prompt. You can just hold E until the 2nd prompt is done when you're on top of a container

[QUOTE=Burnyhands;48633561]I'm kinda annoyed with the FOB system now. It gives you like, 25 minutes to infiltrate but the best tactic is to just rambo through and try and get to the end before the defender gets there. I mean, I kinda liked the idea when I thought the defender could only join when you got spotted, because I mean, let's be honest, you're kinda fucked when the defender arrives, so it becomes your punishment for getting spotted.[/QUOTE] There's basically no reason to go stealth, since going anything but full rambo both means you're less equipped for an eventual defender (your ammo and suppressors don't reset) and you're spending more time in the base, which means more time for the defender to respond. You could perfect stealth your way through patrols, lasers, UAVs etc, reach the last staircase before the objective and have the defender show up and shove you all the way back to your wormhole. The only convincing argument I've heard against this is "well you don't get marked" but it's [B]extremely easy[/B] to find an invader once you throw the defender in, since he can see the status of every single NPC in real time How can I minimize my FOB losses? The game forced me to build one and now I lose 12 okay men (two of them high-ranking, and seemingly at random from my total motherbase staff) each time I get invaded, which is super easy. I don't want anything to do with it.

another thing thats dumb too major spoilers [sp]why the fuck was volgin a comatose body instead of just a hallucination[/sp]

what the fuck, [sp]Chapter 2[/sp] looks so much cooler than the main missions

If anyone's interested i can upload a zip of the OST (in FLAC!)

you can't direct contact your security team [editline]7th September 2015[/editline] but you can only lose resources/men once every two days

this is probably a noob question but is there a way to get the chopper to pick you up to take you to a different part of the mission area like you can with mother base?

So how do capture cages work, anyway? Do you just drop them in areas where animals are known to roam and they stay there forever collecting them?

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;48633987]another thing thats dumb too major spoilers [sp]why the fuck was volgin a comatose body instead of just a hallucination[/sp][/QUOTE] Also, [sp]If the whole man on fire was not a hallucination, then does that mean that young mantis actually threw a flaming whale onto the island?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Pops;48634045]this is probably a noob question but is there a way to get the chopper to pick you up to take you to a different part of the mission area like you can with mother base?[/QUOTE] There's no way to do that, if you don't want to travel you'll have to get back to the ACC (via chopper pickup or container fulton) and go back down from there.

Maybe Big Boss made up this lie to try and blame all his horrible acts throughout MGS5 on somebody else to abstain from guilt or w/e. Or kojimbles fucking lost it idk I'd believe that theory, but why would ocelot go along with it[/sp]

infiltrating someone and extracting all their resources while you stun them and force them to watch is sadistic as hell but it's really funny

It's also mentioned that the higher your FOB's security rating the higher the amount of resources that can be stolen, but I haven't heard of anyone confirming that's actually the case

[QUOTE=Rawko;48634034]If anyone's interested i can upload a zip of the OST (in FLAC!)[/QUOTE] i'm definitely interested it'll include stuff like the alert themes right? not just cutscene/cassette tape songs
