Marco! Yeaaah...
Anyone know of a list of all diamond locations on your different base struts? Figure I'll wait until then and just collect them all at the same time since I'm not in need of money at the moment but I do want to see all the nooks and crannies the team decided to hide them in.

For real, can I use it to silently take out radio equipment? (the indoor ones, not the dishes)

Yes

Supposedly if you shoot it at the crotches of guys who are knocked out they'll be too embarrassed to call it in when they wake up but I haven't tried that yet

Yes. Someone says over the codec "IT'S WORKING!!!" but it really doesn't work at all. It doesn't stun him out of attacks I think, and it does stun him a little if you get him in the head. It doesn't help with the battle against him.

Oh also if you shoot guys in the face with the water pistol a few times they get blinded for a second or two. Their arrow turns blue like if they're stun or smoke grenaded. Easy to do in reflex mode if you're close enough.

If you shoot him with several clips it will work on him. Also you can squirt water on electrical equipment like the radios that will quietly destroy them.

Also you can squirt it on people's pants when they are tranqed and if they wake up they wont radio in to HQ because they're embarrassed they pissed themselves.

Yes. 45 and 46 are all you have for story.

BUT don't forget to watch the cut content ending on youtube that explains what the gently caress happened with Eli and the Metal Gear.

You get the ability to do so from a later mission. You'll be explicitly told when it is possible. Cheers OP

The Parasite Suit memo is sort of misleading since it says you need Skull parasites to develop the suit or something. I assume if I've got Code Talker I can develop the suit whenever then, yes?

and?
here's what the guide says about man on fire vs. water pistol:

you can shoot him ~50 times to stun him for 30 seconds, which means you can then shoot the floating boy or escape.

so it doesn't precisely kill him but i guess you can fulton him if you can stun the boy while man on fire is stunned or something. idk

If you shoot him 100 times with the water gun and then throw a smoke grenade into the truck, you can catch a Lv. 100 Mew that knows Hyper Beam.

You can develop the actual suit without any parasites, but to research the canisters that actually let you use Skull abilities, you need parasites.

I had heard with the mission 42 thing, it made new story missions not come up. Not sure if that's accurate or not. Also heard several people used Quiet in 29 without issues, so my guess is if more story missions come along, you'll be fine. Just make sure not to use Quiet in 42 at least. Just hearsay guesswork/wetwork though. Maybe mission 42 is more likely to corrupt the save.

Mission 45 tips

You should supply drop a better launcher if you have one. There's additional rocket ammo scattered around the upper floors of the palace. Best way I found to deal with the incoming armor is to stay inside and take a quick shot from a window, duck back behind a wall, then immediately move to a new window before taking another shot. Some of the tanks can one shot you, and they will if you stick in one place for too long. Quiet should deal with most of the infantry on her own. If you see a tight grouping of infantry you should probably rocket them as well if you get the chance.

Considering the extreme consequences for failure, does anyone know what happens when you succeed in infiltrating a nuclear FOB? I mean as in, is it still "get to the core" as your objective or is there somewhere else you need to get to? If your opponent has more than one nuke, does it remove them all or just one and can they nuke you in the case of the latter? And are there any bonus rewards for doing so? I'd expect a pretty drat hefty heroism boost considering the risk, but seeing how lopsided invasions usually are in defenders favor, it's probably no wonder why I struggle to find any concrete information about it.

Hahaha, regarding the spoiler thing on the medical strut:

When you get access to it, check out the layout of the building, and the layout of the room. Try to keep the spatial dimensions in mind.

Now, bearing that in mind, go outside and try to find where you think that interior fits. Where should the window be? Where does the door go?
(There's even a tiny little easter egg/decoration that you can see)
I'm not seeing it, but I'm curious. What is it? I've seen various vents that look kind of like the vent window inside the room, not noticing anything in particular.

By the way, anybody know when more Wandering Mother Base Soldier side ops are unlocked? Only had 3 so far, been a while since I got one.
