"Select Character" in the loadout screen, you need to have unlocked the combat unit.

oh my god seriously gently caress mgs v mission 6. every single base you encounter is swarming with guards, and if a single one is even alerted it's another 10 minutes waiting until they go back to normal, if they don't stumble on you by sheer luck. and now, if you have the prisoner on your back for too long, he just magically teleports back into guard custody.

gently caress. this. mission.

the game gives you so many tools it's hard to believe people are having a lot of trouble beside a few specific missions.

having a prisoner re-capture himself as a penalty for taking too long is pure bullshit though. also the checkpointing is supposedly terrible in all missions

easiest way I've found to deal with swarms of dudes is to detonate some C4 on the other side of the base and (preferably) blow up something. it'll put the base on alert, but a whole lotta dudes will run over to investigate while you pick off the stragglers and sneak past. it's that or a combination of stun grenades, smoke grenades, night vision goggles, and murder. :getin:

this is legitimately one of the best ways to beat one of the bosses

also anyone who has gotten up to building FOBs, what the hell triggers an invasion alert for the defender? i just invaded an FOB, tranqed a single guard out of range of any other guards, and the owner showed up to defend immediately. i thought invasion alerts only showed up if you went into reflex mode or alert? why is there no information about FOB infiltration anywhere

if you're having trouble at mission 6 i feel bad for you son
the game really ups the number of guards as you go through story missions

if he gets carted off, you can still drag him out to get fultoned without going all the way into the open; there's some ledges and stuff that have nothing over them but aren't down in the pit

also spend the money to get the level 2 gun with dot sight and shoot faces

Basically always be marking- if you see any red circles on your map keep marking until they're all gone so you don't get snuck up on.

The three dudes with the prisoner on the bridge are annoying but generally you can just throw a smoke grenade at them, then run up and dunk everyone.

eh. I found it the most fun of all the dota clones. but the grind was pretty bad and the matches were boring. I liked arena. it's free so might as well. I played the ice giant dude a lot. he was great. stuns are king.
