I just cleared out the airport and found a few precious metal containers... except they are inside a hangar. I don't suppose I can winch them out with a truck or something? =(
By the way, when my guys earn medals do they do anything? and is there a way to see what they are aside from the uninformative icon below their portraits?

E: Snake does not SCRREEEAAAAMM when firing an LMG full auto. BOOOO

At first I thought about blowing up the ceiling, but it seemed far too noisy.

Later I found out it'll probably require the ultimate fulton upgrade.

As for medals, I think they're accompanied by stat boosts.

[SOLDIER First]

Medals do increase stats, and yes you do need the Super Fulton.
I recommed the Legendary Animal Side Ops. They'll give you hints about how to get the Super Fulton and JEHUTY

Also... I don't know what you guys were doing, but I got the truck at the airport. I just sprinted there and stole the convoy's guards before they left.

[Ozyton]

I don't know what you guys were doing

Playing the mission for the first time ever.

Also I can paint my dog...? Interesting.

[SOLDIER First]

I was also, in fact, playing the mission for the first time ever. Not waiting for people to come to you is a thing.
Apparently people like the fox paint because BLACK FEET or something.

[Neonivek]

I think it's kinda comparable to the tuxedo actually.  Completely useless, just looks attractive, best considered a joke or a "I'm so badass I don't need armor" thing.

The Tuxedo was secretly a great armor in Peacewalker.

It dampened footsteps very well without the inventory penalty that naked gives you.

[Putnam]

Sneaking suit does that just fine in this

Tuxedo's not coming for a few more months AFAIK

[SOLDIER First]

But there's no added hilarity of crawling around in a tuxedo in the dead of night with a shotgun and rocket launcher strapped to your back.

Fucking hell, people weren't kidding about Mission 29 being bullshit.

Spoiler: rant (click to show/hide)

First off, obviously, stealth is suddenly a complete non-option.
The whole thing is framed like a zombie defense, implying that one should stay near the VIP.  Except that's inevitable death due to lack of cover, and ditching the VIP seems to have no downside.
Despite being a sneaky less-lethal guy, I actually do have a decently leveled shotgun and GROM-11.  And had the foresight to equip them for this mission.  The shotgun does literally a sliver of damage at point-blank, and the Grom is iffy considering the way they teleport.  Not to mention that I killed the VIP about 5 times now from blast damage, and even if I was hitting perfectly I'd take out MAYBE 2 of the 4(?)
So I basically need to melee-counter them.  Except sometimes the prompt doesn't appear, sometimes it appears but DOESN'T WORK, I FREAKIN CLICKED IT, and even when the stars align, it doesn't even do much damage.
I've retried this at least 20 times already, it's getting freakin aggravating.
Oh and the flung rocks have a much larger hitbox than model.  Of course.  They even seem to home, but that's probably the frustration talking.

I've gotten pretty close a couple of times by running the hell away, taking careful rocket shots, and spamming melee when it looks like they might be executing an attack.  But ugh, very frustrating.  When any other mission has gone loud, I've only ever needed 1 reload, maybe 2.  This is just crazy.
I guess it's because it's switched up the mechanics, which is theoretically a good way to produce a challenge.  But I don't know what I'm supposed to DO.  A puzzle boss ought to go down fairly easily once you figure out the trick.

The ASSTITS sniper team was a little tough, but fun.  This is just ridiculous.

[SOLDIER First]

Just use D-Walker's gun. It takes a while, but it works.

D-WAAALKEEER

Not to sound like a broken record. It only took a few tries for me, personally, and I don't think I had its gun upgraded at that point.

[ukulele]

Fucking hell, people weren't kidding about Mission 29 being bullshit.

I found 29 to be quite easy, beated it on my 1st try if im not mistaken, real hell is mission 42

[Rolan7]

Care to share some advice, friend?
As for D-walker...  I think I have the machinegun, but not really upgraded at all?  I mainly use it as transport with tranq darts...

[SOLDIER First]

Just USE IT
I recommend equipping him with lethal secondaries so you don't waste precious minigun ammo on the unimportant targets.
And the task-CQC arm too, if you have it.

[Putnam]

There's a ladder on the near side of the hangar, adjacent to the back of the hangar. Climb up to the roof and they have only one, easy-to-dodge attack that can hit you.

[Rolan7]

Finally got it.
Didn't want to exit out and re-start the mission just to equip D-walker, sorry, I would have except that I was so close already.  And I have very few upgrades on it...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Used the shotgun to take out the lesser enemies which were eating up D-daughter's time.
Hid behind the hangar, which provided better cover from the explosive rocks.  Took carefully aimed GROM shots, and watched the enemies closely to know when to melee (since the prompt is... unreliable).

Ordered extra ammo, but ended up not quite needing it.
Pretty sure I tried that 30 times.  Very cool looking, almost cinematic...  Wish it had been a cinematic.

Ah, okay.  That's pretty close to what I ended up doing.

Edit:  I got an A rank and the Butterfly emblem
