I don't even know I didn't sleep last night.

What I was trying to say is that it's not important enough to be a huge feature. mGSV is faster paced than the other games. Also no application to the open world environment since there's nothing between bases.

two different people said something about there being a hidden camo index, and now i want to know what the gently caress was meant by it. is there a camo index or not.

if you just mean that there's some value used by the game's code to decide whether you're seen, uh... that's how computers work, yes, using numbers

mgsv has a camo index that determines how close your player must be to get spotted

in the prior mgs it was shown visibly

it isn't shown in mgsv, but wearing a good camo that matches the environment greatly lowers the chances you'll be detected

but it's still probably better to just crawl

someone crunched the numbers on how it actually all plays out, ill look for it when I get home

there are just different camo styles like desert or jungle or urban, some are better suited to certain environments

that doesn't stop me from just using the sneaking suit exclusively
much more valuable to have silent footsteps imvho

i think it's pretty clear if somebody asks about a "camo index," they're asking if they can display the camo rating onscreen, not just asking if different camo works better in certain areas in console GOTY metal gear solid 5

The right camo in MGSV only adds 10% to your camo percentage, crawling adds 50% so its not a huge concern. Just wear cool stuff.

I beat it and I encountered a patrol that was just two dudes who I avoided that was it

I'm also not referencing side ops because those were things to do but 90% of them happened at bases and were gated through the story

Now if every side op was open from the get go then yeah there's stuff between bases

parasite is broken for s-ranks

only camo parasites lock you from S-Rank

your other options are either invincibility or sandstorm
