Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Also the mother base target shooting side ops are not good at all. I can't beat the rnd one.

I think the R&D one is the worst, because it doesn't really guide you to find the targets and that strut is all about climbing pipes and running on HVAC stuff. I thought the other galleries were better constructed, even if it did take two tries to find all the targets. It's not a bad way to unwind, but I need to research a non-lethal rifle so I have something better than my trusty WU to pop them with.

I Nonlethal'd quiet fairly easily but I was using the Riot SMG which has like 10x as much ammo as the tranq pistol or rifle.

Its suppressor breaks too fast but it's nice to know it'll have some use at least.

So does the tranq pistol... If you have good aim you can knock out way more people with the Riot SMG before it breaks.

if you manage to punch/kick her it will take out half her stamina bar and this is the ~real~ way to take her out, but she has like a 200 degree perfect viewcone, if you scan her and move somewhere else to check she just follows you behind walls and poo poo. i dont know what the gently caress i did to sneak behind her but thats the only time it happened, otherwise her AI cheats really bad lol

and if you do sniper v sniper the fight is extremely easy. it is the first boss tho

One of my favorite little bits so far is how the Russian interpreter you find in the side op is teaching one of the other guys in the outpost how to say "Last night, I slept with your girlfriend." in English

I had read that you can fight Quiet using whatever method you want, since at the end of the fight you get 'you beat her and she's helpless, either kill her or pick her up' thing no matter what. Anyone try lethaling her to test?

For that mission I wound up running all over the drat place because there were prisoners in a town/base that wasn't part of the main three. Took forever.

Ok, quick question- if the gz staff come in after completing certain missions, does that mean that if I import the save after having already beaten those missions do I
a) get them immediately?
b) have to replay those missions?
c) have to restart the game because they only join after you beat the missions the first time (please not this)?

Because I still can't connect to the online
