God drat it I wanted to know how to do this, I felt incredibly bad about not being able to say it

Feenix posted:I captured the Riot SMG Blueprint. But I cannot develop it (Do not see on list) Do I need to return to base first or something? You can do all your R&D via your iDroid in the field but even if you get the blueprint you still need the money/materials/R&D level to research it. On the research screen tab over from the "available projects" to the SMG screen and check out what the requirements are

I dunno if anyone has mentioned this already, but during the "Rescue the old Mother Base soldier" side ops, if you walk up to them in a cardboard box and stand still for a couple of seconds while they check you out, they'll recognize you as Snake, and give up without a fight.

Well, not about, but in response to. It's almost like he's depressed as poo poo and lives a reactionary existence.

I mean they have crazy smoke grenades and can OHKO you, I thought they had been skullified like the soldiers that go all zombie when the skulls show up. I have seen Big Boss get thrown off bridges, shot thousands of times in the face, be electrocuted like crazy, and he gets knocked out by someone flailing their arms around?

goferchan posted:For those wondering about whether stuff you destroy at bases respawns, the guide says it happens after you've completed 5 missions. It doesn't mention an exception for anti-air radar but I'm pretty sure there is one, as far as I can tell landing zones seem to be permanently unlocked by disabling them. Awe man, that means I wasted a bunch of time last night. I destroyed all comms, power and radar at a few bases because it makes messing with enemy soldiers super easy. Well, it wasn't a total waste because playing with C4 is a blast!

I put off getting it forever and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the gunsmith. Oh that's it then. The stun arm is so unwieldy to use I wasn't interested in getting the upgrade for it. I still haven't managed to hit anything with it and I can't imagine what advantage it has over a running bionic left-hook clothesline. No seriously, running bionic punch is the best thing. edit: ^ So legendary gunsmith, stun arm upgrade, and what's the third one?

The stun arm actually becomes somewhat useful when you start running into the guys in full heavy armour that you have to either CQC or stun to take down non-lethal. A fully charged hand blast knocks them out for a while.

A fully charged hand blast knocks them out for a while. That's great news, I hate those guys so much. It takes 3 sniper headshots to kill them. That's insane. Yeah I had been just running up to them an CQCing them.

Can you not connect the companion app at all when the servers are down? Seems silly to me that my tablet can connect to the PS4, yet if their lovely online mode isn't working because they thought 1 server could handle millions of people then I'm SOL. Fun fact: every helicopter ride from Mother Base to Afghanistan takes at least 13 hours to complete  Thanks Google Maps!

So another dead end, I finished mission 41 and now all I have open in the mission list is just a bunch of repeats of previous missions with specific rules to make em harder. Do I really have to play the same missions over to get the plot moving? Come on MGS5... No plot related side ops either.

gently caress, for Mission 13 - Pitch Black, I thought I was being clever by putting a C4 on the pump, the shutoff button and the power and then blowing them all simultaneously when I was outside the facility.. Turns out the C4 doesn't activate the shut off button and I had to sneak back in. Lame.

Feenix posted:Thats what Im saying. I don't even see it in my list ANYWHERE. (on any tab.) Ohhhh sorry Customization is only available when you're in the ACC (the helicopter, which took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out... thought t was some special room on Mother Base) By the way, for anyone wondering about the benefits of showering, it provides a temporary buff to reflex mode duration, max HP, and Fulton recover chance. Also interesting: when you get a really bad injury to your chest that you have to hold triangle to heal, your maximum HP takes a 15% hit. The only way to FULLY heal up is go back to the ACC

Haha, I loved my birthday surprise from Ocelot, Miller, and a bunch of masked goons. Was hoping I'd get a special gun or something but it was still a very cool little moment that makes me love all the little 'different' things Kojima does all the more.

According to operations protocol a helicopter is not the ACC unless it is in cruising altitude. I just made that up but I think its semi canon because there is a hint somewhere that says "when Snake is in the helicopter, it becomes the ACC" like there is some tranformative event where it isn't just Pequod anymore.

Faffel posted:vOv I've noticed that Keifer Sutherland does most of the talking during cassette tapes, a first-person view, when Big Boss's face is off screen, and bandaged up as Ismael. Did Kojima Productions have a difficult time scheduling him for motion capture sessions? It seems ironic considering he was specifically brought in to do facial capture during voice recording. I'm still not finished with the game so I don't know if he gets more of an active speaking role in cutscenes.
