Rabid Kitten died on a dispatch mission. RIP.

[Yoink]

Thanks a lot, Atticus.

Loving the game so far. There are 3 things that annoyed me tough:

SPOILER WARNING for Chapter 2!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First, that stupid Boss fight against the Skulls. I think the mission's called Metallic Archaea or something. I dont know what the team smoked when they did that, but it's the absolute LOWEST point for the game. You start out in combat right away. I had my sneaking Gear equipped, so I had to run around like a headless chicken until my rocket launcher arrived, only to discover that you need almost an entire magazine to kill one of those Fu*kers. Not only that but they also regenerate their shields. Thanks a lot. Quiet helped a lot tough.

Second, I was really hyped to unlock the Parasite suit, but it took me ages to figure out how to extract Skulls. And it's a massive pain. You have to replay the mission they appear in, eliminate one or two but not the entire group, and then you can extract the ones you took out. And you have to do this while the others are still on your tail. If you leave the area or take them all out, they run away (However that works). I swear I did the one mission where you intercept the Cargo-Truck 4 or 5 times now. And considering how hard it is to actually kill Skulls, I'm beginning to wonder if the Parasite Suit will be worth the effort.

ANOTHER BIGGER SPOILER WARNING FOR CHAPTER 2! Seriously, it's a pretty big thing.






[spoiler]Thirdly, I was hypermad when Quiet left and a Google Search revealed she actually stayed gone. She was my favorite Buddy along with D-Dog, and I Pumped a LOT of GMP into her Upgrades, only for her to leave permanently. It's addiotionally frustrating, as you can appearantly prevent her from leaving by using the Butterfly Emblem. But that sort of "freezes" the Story. So if you want to continue, you have to let her go. Q.Q

There is appearantly a Mod to get her back. Have to try this after I get home. In the meantime, I'm praying for some sort of DLC. Give me back my Sniper-Waifu, Konami!

you can extract skulls after having taken all of them out, just not all of them; they have a good delay before leaving

and yeah, there's a mod; i'm not bothering because i liked that ending too much

[lordcooper]

I thought it was genius.  Now we've lost something too.

[Putnam]

a lot of this game is designed for that

and it makes people real mad

i love it

Oh, thanks for that. You just spared me from probably 2-4 hours of frustration.

Also, I should've qualified my statement. I dont think that particular part of the story is bad. The fact that it affects me in this way should speak for it's effect.

Also, I'm not good at handling sad story wrap-ups and thus my modded "She's still here and everything's fine" headcanon shall keep my sanity intact. Q.Q

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Okay, so I met Quiet, took her out and retrieved her, now, I got a cut scene showing her L33T Haxor Skillz by shooting a revolver through rotating blades, but I didn't get her in my party because she doesn't know how to communicate yet, is this normal or did I just miss a prompt?

[SOLDIER First]

She's in your party. Trust me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Didn't you hear that extra creak as the helicopter was leaving?

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Bu...
But.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

She was right there, with the two soldiers, fully visible.
Can she make copies of herself now?!

[SOLDIER First]

I'm reasonably certain that's what she did.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was able to deploy her as a buddy after that, so...

Just check it out in Mission Sortie or while you're in the field.

[SOLDIER First]

I assume you mean covering you in Reflex.
The only solution is not triggering Reflex researching her tranq rifle. If you've used her enough it shouldn't be too far off in terms of bond requirements.
...silencing her tranq rifle, on the other hand...

[Zangi]

Apparently, clear the mines side ops... those particular claymores don't alert nearby enemies.  S rank guy I wanted to fulton noticed me and went straight into one.
I proceeded to throw half the base into those claymores.

I've also had instances of showing up and some objectives already being dead/gone in some side-ops too... no caution mode either.  Though, they may have been sent as reinforcements elsewhere and gotten themselves runned over or eaten by jackels along the way. 
...  I should lead a bear into a base and see what happens.

is there any way to stop quiet from fucking up my entire mission. why isn't there a "don't fucking shoot shit i didn't tell you to shoot" command

i think i'm going to have to stick to raising her bond in side ops

Buddy(Attack), found in iDroid in either map mode[press down/up] or where you call in other buddies under the right tab. Position on other side of map, far away from you.

The first silenced weapon you'll unlock is lethal.  If you don't mind her killing things.  (It doesn't count against your own personal kill count, but may count against mission completion.  Not sure about that last one.)

You can avoid the fight if you don't just walk up to him.

[Greenbane]

What do you get from fultoning kids, once that's possible? Bunch of heroism?

I'm sitting at about 68k heroism circa Episode 32, and I heard the soldiers you encounter depend on that, so I should be working on raising it to start seeing my first field S troopers. In theory.
