How far do you have to get for it to unlock? Im at mission 18 or 19, I believe. Am I even close?


I think 22 or something like that. I read it on a tips and tricks article. I was looking for how to get the bandana.

I've been doing some grinding the past couple of days trying to get my base completed. It seems like I'm always running short on fuel supplies. Anyone else having that problem?

Yes, fuel resources are slim right now. Past two nights Quiet and I have been raiding old bases for the storage containers. I get her big hootered chest to scout then cover me while I Fulton the containers.

I'm about to say screw it and continue on with the missions. My top two things I want to get is Quiet's silenced sleeping sniper and my Bandana.

And the cool thing about it is it doesn't even feel like grinding. Raiding camps and basses never gets old.

I want to complete the base and upgrade all of the weapons that I use regularly. I want to get my dog his highest grade uniform as well. I use him 99% of the time.

I've tried a mission with Quiet, and it just wasn't for me. I'm sure she just takes some getting use to. I've gotten so use to a certain process while raiding a base using D-Dog, I'm afraid to try anything different.

Possible spoiler?





Don't shower for 5 days and you can shower with Quiet

I use DD exclusively on every mission. Something about always have a dog on your side. I want to get the shock suit for him.

I'm in the 30s for main missions. Some grinding required of previously-accomplished missions with restrictions. Not a fan of that, but you take the bad with the good. There's one mission in which you have nothing but a drab green uniform. Everything else is OSP. That kinda sucked.

Quiet is awesome once you unlock her tranq and kill sniper rifles. I've used DD so much, though. I've gone back to old missions to upgrade my D-Walker. It's a fun thing to mow down enemies with, but right now it can't take much punishment. Don't really use the horse.

I played a bunch of FOB invasions last night. Holy balls the deck is stacked against you as the infiltrator, LOL. I can win against the bare-bones bases, but it's ridiculously hard against a base that has 20-25 guards, a couple UAVs, half-dozen cameras, mines, and anti-theft alarms. So far, when I face off against someone online, they are spamming grenade launchers at me. Weak shite. I think I've won 24 and lost 5 or 6. My base has been raided 6 times, all unsuccessful. I maxed out my base with defenses.

I love the side ops missions. Done 117 of 157 so far. All that said, the game has me at 54%!. The bandana is awesome. When Boss is injured, it turns red from the blood. So badass.

All in all, having fun. Story is meh. Hideo basically replaced the word "nanomachines" with "parasites". Redoing missions with arbitrary restrictions is shitty. Otherwise, having a blast.

Pro tip: Max out your bond meter with Quiet, then return to motherbase when it's raining.

That actually makes much more sense in the overall story. What do you think Naomi Hunter used as the basis when she designed FOXDIE...

Yeah, the opening sequence is so hilarious without context. I know a little bit about the background of MG so I recognized a few things

I've listened to all the tapes so far and I guess I'm tired of hearing the word parasites, LOL. I was hoping for a little better-told story but Kojima isn't the greatest storyteller. Quiet, aside from her appearance, is a really great character. Most will overlook it because boobs.

They will be doing a live stream of Metal Gear Online at Tokyo Game Show including a new mode they haven't announced yet. Looking forward to it. Right now, FOB is kinda pointless. You don't make much GMP as the invader. In fact, I've had seveal where I lost over 100,000 GMP after fultoning all the containers off the platform. You get a ton of GMP for successfully defending your base, though. Seems counterproductive.

I love tossing the stun decoy at guards. My God it's awesome. BRBRBRBRBRBRBR

I'll be jumping into the spoiler thread in the next couple days. My first play through I am determined to complete all side ops with the main ops missions, so I'm grinding right now.
