Is there any way to skip the side missions?

[Green Raven]

I want to get on with the story.

I dont need the exp. I dont need the gear. And Im really not intrested in the fates of anyone who isn't Gabe, Sid, Mikalla, or Tyrone (A randomly generated Heavy who has been on every story mission, and whom I've come to love.)

Honestly, its at the point where Im considering hiring a few redshirts at camp, picking a mission at random, and having them all commit suicide by eating thier own grenades.

Yep. That's the only way to "skip" them. You need just one soldier per mission.

Tyrone isn't randomly generated.

The side missions are repetitive and boring, but be ready to finish the story in less than 1 hour if you skip the side missions:D
The "end game" the devs claim to have is just more of those same side missions, over and over again...

Earlier today I beat the game :)

Sometime through Act 3 a critical desicion was made. A lot of random men and women ended up eating their frags.

It was kind on embarrasing on this one occasion, I hadn't realized I had volunteered a Support for the job... after his Stim Grenade failed to kill him, I had to let the grubs have him. Very sad.

sadly not they are the padding to make this sorry excuse last.

Currently playing the game on Xbox Game Pass and was introduced to Side Missions, noticed that there wasn't a "skip mission" button so I did some Googling and here I am xD

A shame we can't skip them, side missions should be optional but it is what it is. Hope the devs learn from this because I really enjoy playing the game and hoping for a sequel

If you are an achievement hunter you will not be pleased...
