FOB event : Bound Dragons done.
Farmed all S++ and resources.. no increase in unit levels.

Can share your loadout?

1st Phase Run - FOB points farming to redeem with S++ soldiers:



Grade 1 AM MRS-4 (unused throught the run)
Grade 7 AM MRS-71 Sniper Rifle (customized, I added in sleep grenade launcher - just in case)

Grade 7 AM A114 Riot Pistol (6 bullets, if not mistaken)

Grade 7 Sleep Grenades (larger sleep clouds, to be used only on the main platform)
Grade 5 Noctocyanin (6 shots)

I follow this guy's infiltration route:




& partially some of his acts (and only do this on the Medical Platform), but:

1. I don't like the idea of using Raiden suit. My first few runs
trying to imitate him were full of blunders, enemies never fail to detect me.

2. I don't use the decoys - again, it doesn't seem to work for me.

3. I can't pass the #2nd platform camera (by the staircase) without being detected
with the Raiden suit.

This is the reason why I opted to play slow & steady & anticipate the enemies.

My style :

1. After landing/teleport on the #4th platform, quickly run up-top,
head towards the bridge connecting to the #3rd platform and cover
as much distance as I can when I'm still 'intangible'/partially invisible.
This state means that the enemies can't see you.

Before you become tangible again, quickly drop to the ground
and use the roll-style to reach the bridge's staircase.

2. I only use Nocto on the #2nd platform - to check if there's a soldier
at the staircase (sometimes there's 1 there), and during the pipe climb
on the same platform - just to check if there anyone nearby that can spot me.

I seldom use Nocto on the #3rd platform because after a few runs,
I've got the idea where the soldiers would be positioned.

Of course, another few shots of Nocto on the #1st platform to see where
I should throw my sleep grenades.

3. Use Riot Pistol - on 1 or 2 soldiers on the #3rd platform, and sometimes
on the #1st/Main platform on nearby soldiers before I throw sleep grenades
(especially soldiers stationed on top floors - they'd always detect you.

4. Use the sniper rifle only to shoot the weak points of the UAVs.

5. Of course, I use staff with 1.01 points or higher, and I always like to use
those with Quick Reload skill.

2nd Phase Run - FOB points farming to fulton them containers:

I switch to my 2nd Phase Run once I gained 350k points (enough to redeem
all S++ soldiers), I do this on the Base Development Platform.



Grade 5 AM MRS-4 (used to destroy the security devices)
*can also use Grade 1, but have to customize the silencer for longer usage.
Grade 7 AM MRS-71 Sniper Rifle (customized, I added in sleep grenade launcher - just in case)

Grade 7 AM A114 Riot Pistol (6 bullets, if not mistaken)
Hand of Jehuty (to capture soldiers)

Grade 7 Sleep Grenades (larger sleep clouds, to be used only on the main platform)
Grade 5 Noctocyanin (6 shots)

The route is still the same, but:

1. I pop 1 Nocto once I run up top on the #4th platform & just stay behind cover,
to see where the soldiers are.

2. Start using Hand of Jehuty to capture the soldiers on the #4th platform - clear them up
(I normally just kill them - don't want to waste time).

3. Use AM-MRS4 to disable the security devices before fultoning all them containers.

4. Head to the #3rd platform and use sonar to detect soldier placements.
Again, use Hand of Jehuty to clear them up. This time I fulton 3, and throw the rest of them
overboard.

5. Head to the #2nd platform, use Sonar & Hand of Jehuty again. But this time,
I still use Sleep Grenade to clear some soldiers stationed in the middle of the platform.
Throw all of them overboard.

6. Use sniper rifle to shoot the UAVs and start to throw the Sleep Grenades.
It's a bit tougher here since the placement of soldiers on the Base Development Platform
is a bit scattered, and they tend to spot you quite fast after you shoot the UAVs. Improvise.

Why I clean-up all #2nd-#4th platforms - to make easy work fultoning containers & making sure
that nobody is on my tail when I engage the main platform.

I usually have to do 3-4 rounds to clean up all containers. Oh, and sometimes I rescue the captives.

Freedom From Oppression FOB Event - done.
Farmed all S++ soldiers. No Lvl upgrade.

Pokchik, you really are a hardcore MGS fan. Even after so many new games released, you still support MGSV.

I think my now my base should be already fully raided and empty already.

actually, i'm not really an MGS fan - but i enjoy leveling up.

i'm a noob at FOB raids, but this game provides an alternative - FOB events,
which i can spend my time grinding - it just fits.

with my age and my restricted gaming time, i can't really enjoy other games..

I just get the definite edition

somehow i know the game save from original MGS:V can be converted to definite edition
but i think maybe start to play back again

I'm having a good time with this event. So much easier than Bound Dragon which gave me hell because of my low level. At least now I can farm more S++ to unlock better equipments.

what is your current level?

Bound Dragons without Riot Pistol made my life a living hell..
but once i've got the Riot Pistol & found a suitable pace, it's a breeze.. (but still remain the most troublesome of all the FOB events).

Completed mission 32. Engineering lvl 66, Support lvl 67. Still way short of the requirements for the Riot Pistol.

But i'm researching the sleeping gas grenade launcher - Fakel something. Hopefully that will help a bit.

if i'm not mistaken, grenade launchers will alert the enemy.
better use higher grade sleeping grenades.

another option is to distract the soldiers with a non-lethal weapon
or.. use non-lethal shotgun with supressor.

waiting for new FOB event - should be online 2nd half of the week.
if based on past events' rotation, Skulls Attack should be next.

currently trying to max out unprocessed materials, raise gear walkers & tank numbers..
via slowpoke method.

i love uncharted series, but somehow the current UC4 coop doesn't appeal to me
as much as the UC3 coop.. back when my PS3 was still in good health,
i grind UC3 coop for years..!

UC2 Coop > UC3/UC4

What's the status for the multiplayer now? Is it still playable?

The PVP multiplayer was pretty good when I last left it. Wonder if much has changed.

the mp still alive and kickin'but as for me i still prefer MGO2 gameplay over this. feels kinda weird in MGO3 dunno why

MGO PVP nice ma. Just plant a few fulton device and stay in one position Rocket Punch everyone in the map. Imba shyte but fun AF

maybe it feels weird to me bcoz of the class system. last time in MGO2 just change ur loadout only

true that.. but the last i played UC2 coop, no more players in the server..

too bad UC Drake Collection didn't have coop

FOB Event : Skulls Attack completed farming for S++..
Only Combat Unit level upgraded.
