Metal Gear SOLID Thread: Snake? SNAAAAKE!

General Discussion
4202

I’ve played this game A LOT the last week and I just got to Quiet. These side missions have me hooked. Every time a new one comes in the pipe line I stop everything I’m doing to go and do that so I can build up Mother Base. Still don’t have a Fulton that can extract containers or missiles, though. Right now I have two key missions saying recommended weapon is a missile launcher but I ain’t got that shit. I’m pretty sure I have an RPG launcher but I have to check.

QUESTION

Do any of you guys have problems with fights breaking out at Mother Base? It seems like every time I’m checking up I have dudes walloping one another. Shit is becoming detrimental to leveling up my teams and holding back R&D from making my goddamn tranq sniper rifle. Any recommendations? At this juncture I"m willing to throw those troublemaker fuckers out just to keep the peace.

4203

Yea fire trouble makers they arent worth keeping around.

Also in the Development menu if you highlight or select an item, it will tell you what you need to be able to develop that item.

4204

If you have a diplomat that helps keep the peace. But honestly trouble makers aren’t worth it early on. I have a staff of close to 600 so now I don’t really care but early on I booted them quick

4205

Go to Management. You can see everyone that works on MB. What you’re looking for is the skill. Look for members whose skill is “troublemaker”. Get rid of these people asap. They’re starting the fights.

4206

and this is easily the best looking game ever released. EVER.

the amount detail is amazing.

4207

Throw the troublemakers out immediately, unless they have some kind of amazing specialty skill. Otherwise it’s not worth the headache of keeping them because they will regularly cause your troops to be sent to the infirmary.

4208

Yeah, I know about that Troublemaker skill. The game says if you keep two in a team they negate one another out, though. Still, my shit is way behind. I guess when I play next I’m just gonna give them the heave-ho and go get some new bodies.

Many of the items I want/need are only being held back because of team level. The first tranq sniper is something like level 12 for R&D and Support. These fuckers keep fighting and putting people in sick bay, leaving me at level 10 or below. But I’ll clean house tonight. I need to advance the plot so you fuckers stop IMing me to spoil shit.

I KNOW IT WAS YOU, SNAAAAAAKE. I’M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU.

4209

Yeah I think this is moreso the problem with me. I’m hella sidetracked by the side missions because OCD. I’m only a chapter away from both Quiet and D-Dog. I just want the comfort of being able to chill during the regular missions because some abilities such as being able to Fulton vehicles really helps. 3 levels away from fulton vehicles and 5 levels on the medical team from the Tranq Sniper and then I’m ready to really dive into the story.

4210

I sold my resources to get out of the red and now i miss them bc i need to build something

Time to grind open roam i guess

4211

^ rob/fulton dem mortars…they sell for good $

speaking of which, that mountain where I rescued the scientist had a mortar ALLLLL the way up there. I used that to kill everyone lol. there were like 20 guards in the area.

4212

The tranq sniper is my dream. I always try to be as non lethal as possible. And yeah, make sure you can fulton vechiles before you get D Dog. That shit is a pain running around like that.

4213

Tranq sniper and then unlock weapon customization ASAP… a tranq sniper is king… but a silenced tranq sniper is god

4214

I’m at 34% overall completion, 59 hours play time, and I’m about to start mission 29. It hasnt taken me this long to beat a game since Tales of Vesperia. And the last game it took me forever to beat before that was probably San Andreas.

Also shooting Kojima in the face should trigger a TIME PARADOX line from Kaz and then subsequently crash the game. Because if Kojima died in the 80’s this game wouldnt have happened, fourth wall breaking, all that.

EDIT: Did you guys know this motherfucker Kojima is 52 years old? I always thought he was like late 30’s.

4215

Anyone have any luck with capture cages? Or do they only work in designated wildlife areas? I’ve caught some but they don’t tell you where the animals were caught, so I have no idea where they came from

4216

How can I get more fuel metals and all that stuff early on in the game??? I wanna buff my mother base.

4217

Regarding the FOB, can we avoid it then get it later somehow? Like doing the mission while offline then stay offline until you get want to start it?
I’ve been hearing annoying things about people losing a lot of their crew mates that weren’t even supposed to be in the FOB and losing tons of resources too…
sucks if that’s true, figured FOB crew members and resources were 2 separate things.
At least in the PC version you can’t turn it off and while offline people said you still get your shit taken.

4218

Start the game offline (System/PC not connected to the internet,) Connect stsrem/pc to innanet. Make sure you’re mode is always Offline.

Once you go online is when you’ll lose shit.

4219

Don’t fret too much if you lose a soldier or two. By the time you get deep enough into the game, you’ll be finding A+ soldiers on a regular basis.

4220

After unsuccessfully attempting to extract Miller with no casualties, I said fuck it…and laid waste to everyone in my path.

Those Skulls though…WHAT IN THE FUCK???

4221

I use them any time I deploy anywhere. It’s basically free money and free hero points every time you go out. I just tend to spread them out along the way and lay them in different environmental locations, but it’s still unclear whether this has an effect on what types of animals you can capture. So far, I see no way to know where X animal was captured.
