Has anyone had any trouble with their Security Team's roster not taking in new guys? Like my Combat Team is all A++ at least, and I'll extract new A+ guys and they'll end up in my waiting room instead of ever going to my Security Team. And besides that, is there a way to get a better Russian Interpreter, Kikongo Interpreter, etc. These guys are all D and C and stuff, dragging down my support team... I've heard that you can just do some older missions over to get updated staff but those interpreters were sideops, I think.

I still have mine so not 100% on this but people have said once you have them and unlock the language you can get rid of them.

The mooks all say the same things in the same situations anyway. You probably know them by now. Unless you still need to interrogate people sack those slowpokes

Scalding Coffee posted:There is no security stat, so you have to place them there. Seriously, Miller? Security Team uses the Combat stat. This is why they added the placement options to favor either Combat or Security.

There's datamined stuff for another Eli mission, for using Battle Gear as a deployable vehicle, and a lot of stuff seems a bit abbreviated. Metal Gear games are replete with Kojima's unrealized ambitions but this is more than usual imo. I wish Snake had more lines. There's a few scenes where people talk directly to Snake for paragraphs and it is really weird to not even have a grunt or "what?" here or there. the jeep ride especially has Snake not even look at or respond to Skullface even once makes it feel kinda flat Also, can anyone confirm that you can dismiss the interpreters and still comprehend radio chatter and such?

It's a bit awkward for sure, though it kinda makes sense since you're not the real Snake. quote:Also, can anyone confirm that you can dismiss the interpreters and still comprehend radio chatter and such? Yeah, you can ditch them once you have them and need better dudes.

So once I've developed everything that requires a certain skill, is there any point in keeping around the people with that skill?

Though make sure you don't dump people you might need for the next patch weapons (if it's not out yet). Sperglord Actual posted:Wait, what? There was a patch a while back that gave you extra options for sorting your dudes in your teams. Originally you could only sort all of them into the appropriate teams (which automatically favored the Combat team), or just the guys in the waiting room. After the patch you could influence this process by choosing to favor the Combat team or the Security team, since they both use the same stat.

Yeah if you watched the cutscene meant for mission 51, the whole area is just one island to give you that Lord of the Flies comparison where Eli is lord dickhole ruler of the place. Also the lovely thing about S-ranking Backup, Back Down is that since the mission apparently expects you to travel all over the map, they don't pop checkpoint saves when you enter/leave outposts. Every time you mess up, you start at the only checkpoint in the mission: when you get dropped off by Pequod. You may as well pick Restart Mission every time but then you gotta sit there and wait for the helicopter to drop you every single time. I watched a walkthrough on S-ranking + all mission tasks and this is a really loving tall order. I don't get why everyone was complaining about Metallic Archaea compared to this.

Don't try to do them all at once. Do one run where you drop in at the north and do all the vehicles, then do another where you drop in at the southeast, rescue all the hostages, and grab one vehicle when it's convenient.

It's not very Metal Gear-ey but it's a fun mission if you're not going for S rank or all objectives.

Yeah, it is actually really cool to ride around on your horse alongside an armored vehicle, reminds me of Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade. Especially when you do the mission the first time and don't have the fulton to extract the vehicles or the guided missiles. You have to plant C4 charges or ride-bys on D-Horse with the Grom, or hide along ridges. Then hop on your horse and book it to the next target. It actually has a lot of energy and was one of my favorite missions, and I say that as someone who prefers to normally play the game Total Stealth/no kills and typically deploys with rank 2 tranq pistol and little else. I wish there were more spots to use C4 in general, it is incredibly satisfying and makes you feel really cool. On the Honeybee mission my first time, I planted some C4 on radio equipment, took out two guys clustered around the jeep with my tranq pistol, then blew the C4 in the distance, making everyone turn around and look that way, then took out the next three guys, and it felt really cool and cinematic, I was proud. Then I rescued Silent Basilisk, who has a unique portrait and cannot be dismissed ever. Does anyone know why that is? I assumed that in an earlier draft of the game, the Hamid prisoner was meant to be a plot point or something (maybe an infection vector or something?) but who knows.

I'm just now learning about being able to favor combat or security w/ recruits. How would I go about doing that? Staff management? Also, for demon point subtraction, does it matter how much time I spend on the animal conservation platform? Can I just drop and call Pequod back in, or should I actually run around it a little?

If you replay mission 6 and kill the mute prisoner instead of extracting him, he'll be removed from your Mother Base roster. (He might also be removed if you just don't extract him when replaying that mission, but I think that might not be the case?)

Danger - Octopus! posted:If you're getting it on PC then you can put in your own MP3s and give your helicopter the Airwolf theme. GOTY all years. Ya' know, my only complaint about the licensed music in this game is that, unless I missed a tape somewhere, it desperately lacks some Talking Heads. Life During Wartime would have been pretty great and era-appropriate (unlike several other tracks). I typically open Spotify on my PS4 and play The Name of This Ban is Talking Heads when I play the game. Sure, there are some other artists and songs that would go wonderfully on here, as well, but this omission stands out the most to me. I mean, I Zimbra? But yeah, they chose some pretty good tracks to license. As a Joy Division fan, I particularly like the inclusion of Love Will Tear Us Apart, and I had forgotten how awesome Maneater was until I listened to it on here. poo poo, I even (sort of) prefer the version of The Man Who Sold The World in this game to the original. Edit: I'm on a PS4, so sadly I can't choose just any song to have my chopper blast. That'd be so loving great, though. I'd probably abuse it almost as much as I abuse the emblem customization and Occupation Forces. Terra-da-loo! fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Nov 8, 2015 |

Does extracting rival FOB staff count as extracting an enemy soldier, and therefore equaling negative demon points? I don't like this stupid long horn, and going back and forth between command and the animal platform is boring. Edit: For that matter, do you get -demon points for capture-cage animal extractions or just Fultoning them? Guides I've found are sort of ambiguous about that. Also, I know I can do missions or free-roam and extract stuff, but... Ya' know, just not as fun as FOB infiltration right now. Terra-da-loo! fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Nov 8, 2015 |

Doc Morbid posted:Someone in the spoiler thread joked that the game should have had a segment like the Sorrow in MGS3, except that you face all the goats you've fultoned instead of the dudes you've killed. The Animal Conservation platform could have an interior part where you have to wade through all the creatures to get an emblem or something, hire me Kojima Whatever, those goats are too dangerous to let them roam free. I was doing some tank unit sideop in Africa, and I went to approach the tank while the helicopter was overhead, but there was a sniper overlooking that tank. So I moved to flank the sniper, but there was a sniper watching him, so I moved to flank THAT sniper, and I thought it would be fun to Bionc Arm the guy in the face, so I run up, he yelps 'contact', and... a goat jumps out of the brush and headbutts me, knocking me over. Combat alert, disaster. e: and how do capture cages work, I haven't actually used one yet, do you just leave it there, or do you have to come back for it later, or what?
