METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Fuel resource farming
Any good places to farm fuel resource? My base development team is at level 69 but it is simply not high enough to get 200k fuel which I really need to max out the base. Any good methods to obtain fuel other than simply checking every single place with fuel resource and repeating the step?

I've been doing the current event against mosquito, pretty good to get 4k resources every 4 minutes but I guess that's as high as it will be possible for the time being?

As shameless advertisement, try invading my base under security challenge, specifically, base development platform, I got tons of resources there.

there were some weeks when "Virtual League (PF Rating) Big Prizes Events" was announced, with rewards like:

"- Exchange PF Points for a reward via the PF Points Exchange menu at least once. -> Reward: [MB Coins] x30
- Finish in the Top 3 in a round of virtual league battles -> Reward: 3x multiplier applied to PF Points earned
- Achieve a win rate of better than 50% in a round of virtual league battles -> Reward: [Fuel Resources (Processed)] x30000
- Use "Liquid Carbon Missiles" at least once -> Reward: [Combat Unit S Staff] x5
- Use "Anti-Ballistic Missiles" at least once -> Reward: [Combat Unit S Staff] x5"

afair the last one occured on jan'17, no more since..
Got it, thanks. By the way I'm shamelessly just invading people with 20k+ on Base Development platform only if their security level is below 15 lol. Or at least, without any security devices and oh boy, there are A LOT of people who fit in the category.

Eh, I mostly get only low level FOB enemies right now. There are a few high ranked ones but they are a little bit too strong for me (mostly S++ protected), I gotta improve my infiltration skills first. Thanks for the fast replies, tho.

I did all of mine using LV50 and below bases. I actually kept tanking my score to keep it easy to infiltrate. Honestly though, Fuel is the least of your worries. I'd concentrate more on PM, you'll need it. Once you start needing it, it goes FAST! Stay low, steal what you can and have the patience to make it through it. It will all come together eventually. Just have fun with it otherwise.

I'd raise that number to at least 40. Once you get the security devices figured out, LV40 and below are super easy. I'm easily at a 95% success rate now and I was just like you when I first started FOB.

Rather than targeting based on what resources they have, if you target based on what weapons they have, the resources will come because you'll drastically increase your success rate. For the longest time I only attacked ones without snipers. They're the easiest. Now, non-sniper bases of any level I can get through with nothing but STN grenades and S-1000 with saving my Sleep nades for the last deck (just to not draw attention from the adjacent deck. Sometimes I use a smoke to avoid a camera, but that just depends on the deck layout. Sometimes it's needed sometimes it's not.

I find sniper bases to be much easier as long as they're below level 50 and you don't plan on stealing resources. Much easier to avoid the enemies entirely, instead of being spotted randomly through some tiny spaces 24/7.
I actually feel too worried to fight people with any kind of devices. Tried only once, stepped on a mine out of nowhere, triggered alarm and started getting hunt by dudes with shotguns which spotted me like 60m away, reflex mode was like, half a second at the finest?

Of course you have to learn where the devices are before you can successfully make it through. Mines for example are always in the center of a platform. At the outer circle, where the anti-air cannons are, you won't find any. Just crawl there and if a guard comes too close to you, throw a smoke or sleep grenade near them, or shoot them with a surpressed stun weapon.
You can practice on your own FOB, that way you won't lose any points.
Do I lose heroism if I kill my own staff during the practice?

That is just a matter of learning the various platforms, where are the cameras and drones. There is only 1 mine you even need to concern yourself with and it's doesn't exist in every configuration.
The UAV's are on a pattern. Once you know the pattern they're easy to avoid without much effort. Watch some FOB infiltration videos. You can learn a lot of watching others.

Here's one of my own R&D I did the other day. Not my usual pattern for this platform. It was recorded to showcase where someone hides by a ladder and if you come around the corner on his level you'll be seen through the wall, although this shows how to bypass him without bothering him.

No, nothing in training counts for anything. Not on yours or others.
Ohh awesome, think you could do one for Base Development platform? Kinda my favorite platform to invade.

Funny you say that, I'm working on a ghost one. Twice now I've triggered combat alerts. LOL It seems to go that way. I can do 100 ghost infiltrations, but the moment I go to record it's combat alert central. :)

One of those is uploading now, but still trying to ghost one for ya. I can't FOB and upload to youtube at the same time. Japan's network can't handle the extra bandwith usage at the same time. They much prefer a smooth flow of data.

EDIT:
Here's one with a combat alert. As soon as get a successful ghost, I'll post it too.

Edit:

Here's one for Support too.

Those are the 3 I do the most. Maybe medical if you need medical resources too.
