Ultima Ratio Regum
I've developed a sort of wheeling sidestep that causes Quiet to miss 99% of her shots even at 20-30m. Tank is the easiest approach though. Also I'm not sure exactly why this was so but when I used a stun grenade launcher (not the grenade itself) against her it didn't count as a firearm kill for whatever reason.

I had no loving clue how to sneak past the skulls so I just sped past them in a tank laughing as their shots harmlessly plinked off my armour.
Their shots are not as harmless as they seem. They actually can destroy vehicles on Extreme, though if you're just driving through them it won't be much risk. If you try to fight them in a tank you will probably soon be out one tank.

The ideal scenario for Code Talker is to take out 3/4 Skulls because the last one will always take up position near the waterfall, meaning the LZ up the trail from the mansion is completely safe (there's zombies but you can avoid them easily). Though in my experience the Skull overlooking the smaller waterfall near the trail is drat near blind. If you want to be absolutely sure, drop a truck in at the front door and put Code Talker in the passenger seat, then just drive up the road past the mountain where the Skulls sit. They don't have good enough peripheral vision to notice Snake and Code Talker inside the truck so they'll let you drive past.

This is MGSV proper again, I believe. It may just be showing everything they showed before, again, but If i'm not mistaken this one's a little longer. There may be something neat in there we haven't seen yet. I'd personally like to see a few more legacy outfits (Octocamo, MGS2 sneaking suit, skull suit, meryl outfit, etc.) but I'm not getting my hopes up or anything.

The tank is the correct way actually. As far as I can tell theres only two ways to get an S rank on that mission, no traces or just rushing past the skulls in a tank. If you rush past skulls in a tank, the only obstacle is the three guards on the left of the mansion. As long as you can take out all three without a combat alert, you can run in and grab Code Talker easily. Then when you come out the guards will all be zombies and you can book it to the northern LZ with no problems.
I just barely managed an S killing the Skulls with a not awful time bonus without Perfect Stealth because the Skulls getting a visual triggers reflex. I think the trick there was killing 2 and getting the health of a third down before they ever made visual contact. They move a lot less and don't do the melee if they haven't made visual contact so you don't end up in crossfire. I ended up beating them faster than normal mode.

After that I was just on stealth auto pilot and the real boss of that mission, the mansion, is a lot easier when you have a clue of the layout because of normal mode and side ops. Exfiltrated out the west road with Rocket Punch and stun grenade abuse to take out the patrols.

my guess is more cosmetic stuff, weapons and outfits. maybe some more side-ops. at best chapter 51.

Just took out a side ops helicopter with a sniper rifle. that's cool I guess

hmm, didn't realize that the stun arm was so powerful. I expected it to be just another stungun like the default thing from PeaceWalker. That took out a ton of enemies at once though, from varying distances.

You can take out helis with a silenced assault rifle if you land enough shots. I just aim for the rotor, seems to go down in about 20 shots. No detection.

I'm all for no detection. Will have to do that more often. I tend to rely too much on rocket launchers for that and it got to the point where I just stopped caring if I was seen while taking out gunships, because they're just so annoying to deal with.

If you're far enough and good with leading your shots you can take out a heli with a rocket launcher without being detected. I've only done it like twice. It put everyone around on alert, but you don't get spotted.

If you 100% the game I think you get a gold naked outfit like quiet's 100% friendship outfit.

Otherwise, there's still some weird FOB cutscene thing that may or may not be canon that nobody has OFFICIALLY unlocked yet. Argument for not-canon is that it requires FOB stuff and it may not (big maybe on that) jive with Venom Snake's character in the long run of the series, argument for canon is that they took time to create it over other cut content, it could still lead to MG1, and it even uses Keifer Sutherland in a 1 minute monologue instead of it being cut for "OH YOU'RE VENOM SNAKE GONNA CUT 95% OF SUTHERLAND'S RECORDED DIALOGUE'.

Yeah, I've done that, but certain gunships tend to have a lot more armor. They didn't want to go down in one shot, forcing me to do atleast two hits... and if they don't go down in that first hit, they're way more likely to find you if you don't get away from where you sent the first projectile in, fast.

That's hardcore. I don't want to say goodbye to 122+ hours of playtime, though...

I loved these "take out the puppet enemies" quests. For the Heavy Soldiers, I found that if you run and Bionic Punch their blocks off, their helmets get knocked off too and so you can headshot them then. :woop:

Find a wall/rock for cover that you can prone behind.

Wait for the heli to turn away from you. Lock on the CGM25, fire, then immediately go prone. They'll shoot at the area you are at, but reflex mode doesn't trigger and you can crawl away to a better position.

I found that if you replay Cloaked in Silence normal or Extreme, she shows up again in the brig even though you can't use her as a Buddy anymore. I think it's an oversight.

Both of Ishmael's eyes are fine, actually. Ishmael also has no facial hair. :iiam:

However, the Joakim Mogren mask Kojima wore to the formal MGS 5 reveal looked like this:



so the implication is probably that Big Boss is wearing a similar mask on his face during the intro. You could pass it off as another one of the multiple ways the game outright lies to you in the intro to cover up the twist but I prefer to think they were at least a little smarter than that.

Maybe they gave him a fake eye or something. Then again he also grows a full beard + moustache in the hour between Venom waking up and BB doing a sick wheelie into the sunset on his motorcycle. That's pretty funny though, they literally could have just flipped the face and it would have been right. Probably a mo-cap oversight.
