I think I'm ghosting.....

[Deathraven13]

Like a damn whale playing a fiddle in the heart of the nanomachines inside BIG ZAM, zam !

Alright hunting nukes is my speciality, fighting people so far I'm not half bad even if some players are far better than me, but ghosting is pretty new to me since now I'm really enjoying it ! (Before being into it I managed to ghost 4-5 time an FOB months ago). I'm not a pro at it so I'm pretty shocked that I've managed to do THIS RUN, here's the video, zam.

PS: If you can ghost a 70+ FOB with a better time than me (Wich is very easy to do) feel free to share it here just so I can learn from you, zam.

Oh and I know what trigger a defender alert and what doesn't so don't worry about that I know, zam.

Not quite a "true ghost" for that you would have to not trigger the mine or CQC people. Get in without so much as a soft alert. Still darn good for no dolphin diving. I'm not sure it's possible for R&D to get in without a soft alert if they have custom mines there. Once the soft alert is breached, you could have taken out the guy that was lingering and been up there quicker. That is the fastest way to the core. Up that pipe, over to the other pipe, go past the stairs to the open area, toss any noise making nade up there, even snipers fall for it and nobody is watching the door. Up the steps and walk to the door.

I can't do a "true ghost" yet, but I've done a soft alert ghost many times. R&D is actually my favorite platform now, which I used to hate it. There are many different places to hide for a moment if need be on R&D that you don't have on other platforms. I'll see if I can find a lv70, but they seem to be getting rare since making 3 diamond. I'm not seeing very many 3 diamond FOB's since the high rank tab stays empty now. Most of the FOBs I see are in the 40's or 50's.

Triggering a mine with your body doesn't trigger a defender alert (so I've heard from a ghosting expert) as for CQC yes but by the time I've reached the core no one can possibly come so for me it's still ghosting, zam.

Too bad you can't ghost on my base during training but if you want I could open a wormhole and then you'll try to ghost, just be sure to close it when you are done, zam.

is there an extra bonus ESPG or rewards for ghosting a base?

I'll let you know if I ever successfully do it. Or do you know? A No Traces on an FOB infiltration. Oh wait, there is a way to test with one of those Security Challenge FOBs.

Point Rewards for No Traces Ghosting

Granted this was a low level base, but in comparing it to the same run with shooting guards with S-1000, Riot Pistol, STN Nades and ZZZ Nades, you actually get more points for the guard Neutralization which would have none in a No Traces infiltration.

I actually got twice the points for the same FOB, but that was due to completing Mission Tasks that aren't completed with a No Traces. Also it never actually said No Traces. It doesn't look like there are any extra rewards for a pure stealth run.

That's called a PSNK (Perfect Stealth, No Kills) run. If u do all the mission tasks, 10 guards Handguns, 5 guards neut, Dressed in fatigues, and ur lucky enough to reach core undetected while headshotting a Defedner with a handgun, u can still achieve a PSNK.

I thought there was a new No Traces category for FOBs like the Missions/Episodes offer. But thx for the help!

Didn't know it because when I used to go for highest ESPG I didn't even knew ghosting existed even tho back then ghosting was no permitted, zam.

There should be don't you think? I would think that a perfect No Traces should yield more ESPG than someone to shoots everything down and fulton's everything out. Sure you may get the resources, but have a trade-off for ESPG received.

Not really a big deal either way. Just stick to NL and it doesn't matter. Get's you perfect Stealth if you don't get spotted or reflex.

Well in my opinion ESPG rank is useless, you gain nothing from being in the highest rank, zam.

True, but at some point you'll reach full development, resources maxed out, GMP maxed out, SP side 100% and the only thing left to do to give you any kind of accomplishment would be to climb the ladder.

I'm still at 96% achievement, I have like 6 high cost items to devellop, 2 bikini, 5 camo and until I get max PM it will take at least 2 month, then after everything is complete I'll just make some videos or wait for metal gear survive, zam.

Say it isn't so! LOL Not sure about playing the non-kojima knock-off purely aimed at making a buck cheaply by reusing assets from MGSV. Sure the gameplay looks like it could be an interesting coop, but if the whole game is what we have already seen in MGSV then what's the point?
