Quiet is pivotal to the story so max that bond if you want the end game content.

I split Quiet - Dog - Horse about 50:40:10.

I've never used D-Walker! I'll take it out for a few Side-Ops tonight I think, as I've upgraded a fair few bits on it.

Question for y'all.. What Mother Base / vehicle colours are you rocking?

I've changed a few times but currently have a white MB with zebra-print chopper / vehicles, looks pretty crazy laugh

Is she really?

D-Dog is much better I find.
Maybe when quiet has the silenced tranq sniper but she's a bit annoying to play with.

Her boobs are very jiggly if you notice on the pre-mission loadout screen... :-)

She does some interesting things in the helicopter when you increase the bond level too

5 mins on Pequod and chill and she gives you THAT look! eek

By the way it's not weird perving on Quiet because she looks just like the actress who plays her, so there!

Anyone else had the 'rain' cutscene with her? I'm not sure if it's specific to keeping her or not, I think it was after I avoided her 'mission'

If you have max bond with her and it happens to be raining at MB, then you'll get the cutscene

i think i might have killed her on a side ops mission last night with a grenade on a ruined multi story building...

i got spotted and had to go loud and threw a grenade to destroy the comms equipment on the outside top floor and that was the base liberated...

will she return? or do I give the horse the sniper rifle...?

You can't kill your buddies, they just get fultoned back to MB and hate you a little

I don't really agree with how they actually let you kill her. I appreciate they give you decisions that affect how certain things pan out, but being able to kill her in the SideOp and therefore never getting her as a buddy robs the player of some interesting story moments and gameplay styles IMO.

She is. Funny that you can kill her early on and completely miss that out, she's easily the most interesting character outside of Big Boss and Ocelot. The rain cutscene isn't integral to keeping her or losing her, and there is also another one where she washes Snake at the base if you get really dirty in the field (flies buzzing round you). Return to Motherbase and you'll get another cutscene when you go to the shower.

Ultimately, the reward of the Star Of Bethlehem is given to you for finishing her storyline, but there are certain conditions attached to it. I fulfilled these without realising, and the Star is needed to develop the infinite ammo bandana.


Having spoken to another PH'er about some of the Chapter 2 missions which have conditions attached or are tough, I've included my quick guides in the spoilers below, some of them will get you an S Rank too.



Mission 50: Sahelanthropus - Used the infinite ammo bandanna and the top spec recoilless rifle, although apparently the MFRL that you can get on the Killer Bee tree is good too. Keep an automatic weapon handy for shooting Mantis when he appears. Just keep circling round, shooting at the Gear with the rocket launcher. If you don't have the bandanna, just keep calling in ammo drops.

Mission 49: Occupation Forces - run to point C on the map near the drop zone down the road towards the abandoned house (past the three wrecked tankers). Hide behind a rock at the roadside and as the three vehicles pass, rush out just as the first tank is going past you. Fulton it, and when it starts to rise, fulton the second and third vehicle. The mission objectives will be complete then, so run out of the hot zone and get your S rank.

Mission 48: Code Talker - Has the potential to infuriate due to the ghost snipers at the start. Spawn in an APC, drive through the level to the forest and go as far as you can before ditching and running to the camp at the end of the forest. This cancels out the snipers, then just go to the back door of the mansion, take out to the two guards and go straight to the basement. Collect Code Talker and walk out, taking down any puppets that get in your way. Extract via the northern drop zone (call the chopper from the basement). Rock hard mission done in five minutes!

Mission 47: The War Economy - piss easy. Just wait in the tower outside the airport walls on the side of the terminal where the helicopter lands. Shoot the target with a sniper rifle as he walks towards you. Run. You don't even need to enter the airport and the helicopter shouldn't see you.

Mission 44: [Total Stealth] Pitch Dark - Enter the oilfield via the main gate. Sneak down the side of the map through the locked compound and up onto the gantry, take out to blokes and enter the pump room to switch it off. Checkpoint. Hop over the gantry above the sluice pool and make a dart for the exit. Once outside the compound, shoot the oil tank with a rocket to blow it up and run. Piss easy.

Mission 39: [Total Stealth] Over the Fence - Waltz up to the base and climb the rocks on the right hand side of the entrance door, run along the perimeter wall over the top of the gate, sneak into the prison, drop the two guards inside and fulton the prisoner via the staircase. Leave the base immediately. Another easy one!

You can't kill her instantly, a marker will be placed where she's lying after you defeat her. When you go to that marker it'll prompt a cut scene where you choose whether to kill her or save her. As far as I'm aware, there's no other way of killing her

Quiet with silenced tranq rifle is pretty overpowered. She seems to all intents and purposes unkillable, she just relocates if she's getting fired on, and from what I can tell getting her to tranq entire bases doesn't count against your stealth scores.

She's saved my bacon a few times now, one in particular made me laugh - got spotted by a guy with a helmet from a reasonable distance away, mid reflex she pops the guys helmet off leaving me a free easy shot on his head. biggrin

Anyone else having issues with sound ATM? I dont seem to get any of the speaking from anyone coming through since the last mission it includes cut scenes too. I get all music and sound effects but nothing else?

Had a temporary blip whilst taking part in a mission on Saturday evening. Went for about 2 mins and then came back. No issue since.

Has anyone started a second FOB yet? I still can't afford one, and I'm not buying any MB points..

My Waiting Room is filling up again, and the majority are at least A-ranks, so another FOB would fill up quite quickly.

Best way to earn MB points? FOB Missions?
