so what's the deal with like running a base in mgs5

is it like assassin's creed style where you can do missions to upgrade your hq or whatever?

not so much missions, but basically it's an oil rig you can walk and drive around on

soldiers get graded in a bunch of different categories that you can assign them to

support which help you recover or deliver stuff in the field

intel which informs you of battlefield conditions (weather, troop movements, resources)

combat which you can send to get $$$

medical which deals with recovery and is supplementary r&d

r&d lets you build a bunch of items and expands your capability, like better fultons, better walkmans, better weapons etc


you can buy other platforms to expand division caps and they open up for exploration as well

Just owned the poo poo out of the mission where you had to blow up 7 armored vehicles in 15 minutes, ruled. Pre-dropping supplies so I'd never run out of ammo, didn't let any of the tanks get away, used the stolen homing rockets to pwn the 2 tanks and heli that come if you do too good, and then knocked out half the map with the Riot SMG and snagged the Electrospinning Specialist along with a random prisoner who was walking down the river (???) for some reason along with like a dozen A/A+ soldiers with random skills

I bought ground zeroes without knowing what it was and I couldn't help but notice that the totaltime to beat it was 1hr 5minutes and the credits were about 9 minutes long so the whole game was about 7x the credits length.

the gastown race in mad max is unplayable. the vehicle handling is so bad and you bounce off every half inch bump in the road and get spun out.

easily the most frustrating part of the game. the trick is it's not a race: nuke the lead truck and you win

man, the tank squad 05 mission is loving ridic

it takes place right next to one of the big barracks type places, and has a chopper overhead, so as soon as you take down the chopper the whole base goes on alert and starts mortaring you.

if you try to do it all stealthy, the chopper blows you the gently caress up.

farthest I got was taking out the entire barracks and blowing up the chopper when it was at the barracks, then going over the hill, taking out all the 12 loving heavy infantry men guarding the tank, and then the loving tank just randomly backed up while i was sneaking up on it, running me over and killing me.

yup! it's the worst part of the game. Do what you need to do in order to upgrade the Thunderpoon all the way, and get a bunch of boost. When the race starts, avoid everybody and hit all your boosts just to get in front of the guy. the AI will bug out a bit and he'll slow down, it's a lot easier if he's behind you

Not totally

you kidnap fulton soldiers out of the field (your binoculars scan enemies and show their stats- E-S++, in multiple fields), and they just kinda...join because hey you're big boss. Some will have to sit in the brig to be convinced for a while but they all join inevitably.

You can manually place or auto-place soldiers into your Support (determines fulton success rates, supply drop success rates, what they can drop, the ability to lay down artillery/smoke support ,etc), Intel (auto-marks general area guards are in on your map, tells you incoming weather, alerts you to vehicles/etc coming into the area, etc), R&D (item development), Combat (dudes you send on away missions that give lots of resources/money/recruits), Medical (helping your guys recover from injury/ptsd/etc, other stuff), base development (automatic resource aquirement).

Some soldiers will have special skills, like being a "gunsmith" for a specific type of weapon which opens up different upgrades and makes them cheaper if you put them in the R&D team. Or stuff like "Vehicle Specialist" which can let you learn how to fulton out vehicles. Stuff like that.

It can also be negative; namely "Troublemakers" who put your other members in the medbay because they like to fight, harass, or get everyone sick by being disgusting goons

You increase your staff limits by building extra platforms. As the game progresses what your individual groups can do gets better and better.

troublemakers only gently caress with each other if there are multiple in a unit

You should have it already if you've fultoned some animals. When you get into your chopper at motherbase, hit the button to go to another strut and you should see a prompt to go to the animal shelter.
