Facts

  • To unlock the original Snake costume, I should complete the secret Deja Vu Mission in Ground Zeroes. To unlock the Cyborg Ninja skin, I need R&D level 40, and complete every main mission except hardest difficulty ones.
  • Wandering Puppets can be abducted and included in the army.

  • The Hand of Jehuty is like a Scorpion spear, it grabs enemies from a distance.

  • Brennan LRS-46 this sniper rifle penetrates armor and can be used to destroy radars and other equipment using a single shot. It can can also take down a battle chopper in a few shots. It didn't seem to do anything to a tank, though.

  • Infinity Bandana Infinite ammo means infinite supressor and grenades as well... And infinite sleep grenades is crazy.

  • Fakel-46 can throw sleep grenades. I need it.

  • Online Help The iDroid (menus) part of the game has a context sensitive help system accessible using the left side of the DualShock 4 touch pad.

  • Non-lethal Sniper Rifle - The M2000-NL seems like a good non-lethal sniper rifle. It's based on the M2000-D, and requires an Anestheia Specialist. You can find one in mission 10, a prisoner sitting in a jeep.

  • Rpeatable Missions - In the mission list, a checkmark means the mission is completed, and a dot means it can be crepeated.

Analysis

  • Staff Management This system looks more complicated than it is. In the beginning, you are compelled to manually assign team members to carefully balance your resources to reach certain levels of research, combat, etc. However, as the game progresses, if you keep capturing enemies, all your teams will level up in time. Here is why:

    1. Enemies auto-level: the enemies will be higher levels as the game progresses.
    2. Auto-discharge: when enemies come out of the Brig or Sickbay, they are automatically assigned to teams, and the lowest skill soldiers are dismissed automatically.

    Thus, even if you do nothing but capture soldiers, you will end up leveling up your teams.
