WTF? When I started up my game last night I found myself with -1,000,000 GMP! No idea how, is there a bug? Fortunately was a quick fix by selling some plants, didn't realise how valuable they were!

Same! When the game loaded, I had 1.7m, a few moments later after collecting rewards, sorting out combat deployment, making a coffee etc, I had just over 100k!

I think it may be to do with FOB defense costs? Maybe? I know on my single FOB I have the most expensive options for everything, but I'm not sure how and when you actually pay those costs.

But yeah, it surprised me too. Luckily I have a st tonne of precious metal, seems to be the most valuable yet least used resource? I can sell less than half of what I have stored for 1m+ easily.

took me ages to capture my first wandering soldier last night...A. to find the daft prick and then to realise after a supply drop that nothing less than a trank to the head would suffice to release him from his wandering madness...lol

run away! run away!

must do a proper mission tonight....they take ages so I'd best crack on.

another question though...does completion relate to mission completion quAlity or quantity? I've done about 20 side ops and 8 main missions...is that about 6%?

i'm falling out with the MP too I can't get the hang of the perspective...and its a bit jerky...

When you're in the map area where the soldier is located, go into your cassette tapes and play 'Love Deterrence' on the speaker, and the soldier will come to you. Makes it a bit easier to land a headshot.

Not sure how far you are.
I've just done 2 or 3 missions in Africa and I have just unlocked Quiet as my buddy.
I am going to use her and then unlock the Butterfly embelem so I don't lose her.
I have done the Legendary gunsmith 1, going to do 2 today.

After earning all S-Ranks I decided to let Quiet go to get the final one, and unlock the Raiden outfit. Somewhat wish I hadn't bothered now, but I think I've had enough of the game for the time being anyway. All that's left are the side-ops, which are repetitive, and building up mother base to the max, but that won't yield anything worthwhile. Attacking rival FOBs isn't all that rewarding either and I can't be bothered with MGO.

It would be good to see Quiet return in DLC but I doubt it'll happen.

Is there meant to be any DLC? I hope so, but I haven't heard anything.

Well Kojima's left, so who would write it?

No idea, I bet a lot of the other 'main' devs left too...

Yeah probably, I'd imagine a lot had been around for a while so would be pretty loyal to Kojima. I don't know what will happen with the franchise now to be honest..

I don't know whether or not there's any DLC planned - I'm guessing not - but I would prefer to get Quiet back without playing through the whole game again biggrin

Most DLC is virtually complete when the original game is released anyway. In theory Kojima could have written it before leaving.

I just unlocked the legendary gunsmith perk.
Weapon customisation.
Very disappointed.
Can't actually modify weapons aside from the colours.
Main thing i went after it was a better durability supressor for my pistol.

Probably because your R&D level is too low.

You still need to develop weapons as normal in order to unlock things within the weapon customisation...

Ah okay.

So for example say I get to R&D Level 45 and unlock the damage penetration perk for the tranq pistol and then I also unlock the inbuilt unlimited silencer, then I can combine both of these features?

Should be able to mate.

There's some thing you can't combine, but generally if you unlock say, 8 different assault rifles, you can mix all the muzzles, barrels, stocks etc.

I STILL haven't unlocked the unlimited suppressor though!

Just finished mission 50 last night. Now I'm going back for cleanup. I've still got all of the wandering soldier photos to show on the medical deck...
