Seriously, I'm confused about the Side Op mission accessible in Mission 3. Something about a special target guy to acquire... its a big purple area circle (with a river bisecting it) where just north of it (outside of the circle) is like the Yakoo Ooboo (?) base. I interrogated a few guys and they were like "Here's a specialist!" and my map updated and I couldn't tell where/who that was... or even if I was still in the mission area. (I think not because when I go into it it gives me a message that I am in it...)

the guy you need for DD's suit is in mission 9, the skill is electrospinning specialist. He's probably the guy being transported in the jeep they call you about since I think that's the only prisoner I extracted.

And also good Far Cry has a bow and a wingsuit to its credit. Also, lots of meaningless poo poo to collect to make it stand apart. Other than that Far Cry can't compete with MGS5. The AI in Far Cry is not fun to mess with and the design of areas for stealth options feels sloppy.

Man, this game is loving huge  42 hours in and I've finished 'Chapter 1' which is up to and including main mission 31, then you get a trailer for 'Chapter 2' and more main missions unlock not to mention all of the side ops that I still need to do  Regarding D-Dog equipment - I've just developed a fulton suit for D-Dog and can order him to fulton soldiers/prisoners for me. I think I'll be using D-Dog almost all the time now, he's the best

Does playing as a generic soldier have any effects on gameplay? Does an E-rank soldier shoot like poo poo or get caught easily or something? Can you level up their skills by doing stuff with them?

You get a pretty decent vantage point of the areas where she shows up. Look for rifle glint, laser sights, or bullet paths to judge the angle she is aiming from. The mic on your binoculars will pick up her humming. Marking her over and over is a bitch but not that bad. Call in supply drops on her exact postition to cheese her stamina bar if you just want to move on. It's also not recommended that you try to get close to her.

Neon Knight posted:I beat that early mission with a sort of boss fight. After the fight you just need to extract.. So I took that opportunity to wander around the now clear area for all the goodies. As an idiot I fell off a platform and ruined my no retries score and probably lost my first S rank. On the plus side, I fultoned a bunch of soldiers left stunned by the boss and I think they all had service medals because of that. If you are at the end of a mission and there are no one left around you, just start stealing poo poo, also blow up the Air Radar and you can likely call extraction right on top of you. Oh, yeah I had an awesome time doing this one too. There was an enemy fort with a helipad surrounded by walls and guard towers, with a single gate at the front. I extracted a prisoner, blew up my pre-placed C4 on the air radar, then tossed smoke into the gateway. Literally holding down the fort waiting for extraction with that prisoner felt amazingly badass. I've also been thinking about the level of stealth vs. action in this game in regards to earlier posters talking about how much sneaking the game should allow or require and it really makes sense to me to allow and encourage much more open conflict. Granted I have not played GZ or Peace Walker, so I'd like to know if those games put me way off base here. In earlier MGS games, we hear Snake(s) talk about THE BATTLEFIELD all the time, Snake is described as the ultimate soldier, not the ultimate spy or secret agent, and yet prior to this game, all we got to see was infiltration and covert ops. It's really awesome to see Snake/Big Boss in this new context, kind of proving or re-forging his reputation. It makes total sense to have different rules of engagement for the front lines of the Soviet-Afghan war than for infiltration of secret Russian/US installations. Sure I've got to sneak past patrols or whatever when the consequences for capture or detection include a nuclear exchange, but here, hell, if I'm out on patrol and I've just encountered a Afghan fighter taken prisoner by like a platoon of Russian soldiers in an active war zone, why shouldn't I hit them with some grenades or artillery before gunning the rest down with an unsuppressed AK? At the same time, after the dust clears and there are 3-4 guys rolling around in agony with a 20% or whatever chance to survive Fulton extraction, I do feel kinda lovely... like there must be a better way  . That aftermath more than anything encourages me to sneak around and be less of a monster, not to mention all the potential recruits for Mother Base I'm missing out on.

Warning: I have the dumbest and most hilarious way to beat this boss, so read on if u dare Do you just want to sneak around her or are you trying to sneak up to her to fight her? I beat her by spotting her and calling in supply drops on her head, then baiting out a shot while it was en route so she'd stay in place and get bonked. Two air drops will beat her and you get an S rank lmao

You can sprint short distances as long as you break line of sight before long. The left has lots of various little cover areas. e: I had a sniper though woops.

 I am never going to achieve a success like this again. A neat little thing I noticed is that you can seemingly unlock the logos for the PMCs from MGS4 as emblem parts. Not sure what the criteria are but I got the Octopus one.
