Dumb question but it was late and I was tired. I go to that first base/abandoned village because Ocelot is like "maybe you can find a transport document" there. Do I literally just canvas the areas or am I missing some cue/clue as to where to go?

In the very beginning when you're looking for Kaz? Just go to the building in the center of the village, if you're canvassing the area you'll see a flag sticking out of it.

If that's not what you're talking about then I dunno.

Edit: you'll find a document in the building that will tell you where exactly they're holding him.

Thanks PB!

In Mission 3 there is a Side Ops for a High Value specialist or whatever in a big blue circle. I went to it and am hunting around. Interrogating the one or 2 guys I find... the circle area is big but doesn't contain the base just north of it. Wonder if the guy is up there? Anyone remember this mission/Side Ops?

Feenix
Mar 14, 2003
Sorry, guy.
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...)

I see folks mention customizing emblems. I Can't figure out how/where. I heard in the helicopter... but do they mean at the Menu screen?

ie: Contine, Options, Import GZ save?

Trackpad button doesn't seem to work there. Is that progress gated, too?

goferchan posted:

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

Thats what Im saying. I don't even see it in my list ANYWHERE. (on any tab.)

goferchan posted:

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

But Im talking about the Riot SMG Blueprint. Is that where you deal with Blueprints? (the ACC?) I just assumed I'd find the blueprint for the Riot SMG and then have to go to Mother Base > Development...

Dog Fat Man Chaser posted:

Have you developed the earlier rank of it? The Riot SMG blueprint (and blueprints in general) is a component for the upgraded variant, not the gun itself.

No. And sorry for all this, I guess I'm just confused? I found a blueprint for it in a Side Op, I think? Early on... I just assumed it was a thing I could make now. But I don't see it in any of the development menus. Maybe I need to do more? I just didn't know..

Honey Bee mission: should I be having this much trouble escaping?

Feenix
Mar 14, 2003
Sorry, guy.
If you want to be mad at the game and "done with this" then you can probably find a ton of reasons at any point in the game. But truly, the Honeybee part is only as slow and as long as you decide to make it. To be mad at the game because you don't wish to adapt your play style a bit seems a little silly.

There's an extremely easy way to farm Fuel and GMP, if you have the fully-fully-upgraded fulton. Mission 12, Hellbound. Start the mission, tranq/kill the guys in the hanger, run to the top of the scaffolding and fulton the 7500 fuel, 4000 minor metals and 500 precious metals. Grab the nearby intel. The game checkpoints and deposits the stuff in your Mother Base. Restart mission from pause menu. The containers are back again. Repeat x1million times. Enjoy having a scarcity of common metal instead.

I'm confused by this. I go to the containers and I get a 0% success... unless by Fully-Fully you mean Wormhole which I only now realized as I was typing this. I only have Cargo 2.

Just wanted to chime in and say that FOB insurance is the stupidest, most ridiculous microtransaction I've heard of in a good long while. Good job, Konami.

Is MGO added via a patch to MGSV or is it a separate app that I can download to my PS4 through the app at work?

Konami: "who gives a gently caress. We're out of the console games business. Charge them for dumb poo poo, we don't care. Next meeting let's discuss the viability of micro transaction charges for booting up the campaign every day."

MGO: From reading around the internet, beyond normal, expected Server issues, it sounds like MGO is just "from the ground up" hosed.

Sorry, guy.

Just the stuff I've gleaned so far... (And I'm not trying to be down on it... I was/am very excited to play it.)

*Extreme graphical corruption.

*Connectivity issues.

*Peer to Peer where the host: Can kick you, leaves before the final score tally screen and you get no points/xp whatsoever/etc...

*Body Shots extremely lethal with Time to Kill being COD fast making headshots and non-lethal approaches pointless/frustrating.

*Game modes that have rules and intentions but people just run around murdering for more effective XP boosting. (Think back to Assassin's Creed MP "Roof Runners" for a thematic similarity.


*** I have not played this yet. This is just what I am reading (or seeing in the case of screenshots of extreme graphical hosed-ness) from a variety of sources.

You should stop reading whatever those people write ever again.

Sure, I guess. But there are screenshots. From many folks. Also it seems fairly irrefutable "Fact" type poo poo and not just "omg it's terrible I hate it." Time will tell.
