I wouldn't say that one is better than another. Kill, STN, ZZZ all serves a purpose. Some people say do not kill because rewards are better if you stealth. I think there's enough rewards throughout the game to do it any way that works for you and to figure out what is better for you.

I've gone through about every play style possible from sleeping everyone, to stunning everyone total stealth and not fire a single shot. It is possible to total stealth every mission, but some missions are harder than others to accomplish that. One of my favorite ways to complete missions is with a decent sniper rifle and kill everyone from a distance.

In the end, the choices are up to you. Try out different things and do what works best for your particular play style.

As a new player to MGS V thx for you input.
How soon in the game do you get a sniper rifel?

You should be able to pick up a basic sniper rifle relatively early. Within the first 5-10 missions I would think. Silencing that sniper rifle will take longer though.

There are pros and cons to any method you use. The pros to a sniper rifle is pretty obvious. Shoot from long distance, no risk of getting immediately spotted. The con to that though is that once they realize they're under sniper fire they develop a fairly keen eye for spotting you taking another shot. I try to snipe as many as I can before someone calls "SNIPER". Once that happens, you're best to move because they will mortar the general vicinity of where the fire came from as well as their keen eye, even more so if they have NVGs could get you spotted if you fire another round. I'll usually get 3 shots off, maybe 5 depending on how closely grouped they are, then roll, low crawl or crouchwalk if I have cover, to another position that does not have direct line of sight to where I was.

Every method you use has pros and cons. It's good to try out a few different ways to see what you personally like.

he's implying the tpyical guards resemble poutine, both in behavior and dress. they are useless, and he is wondering if it is worthwhile to kill them or just let them go on their merry way rather than making a big mess that needs cleaned up, but which snake is woefully underequipped to actually clean. much like when one desires to eat poutine.

I also don't know if you don't know what Quebec is, or are just ignorant. so you lose points for that too. one needs clearly-defined boundaries to make fun of, before one makes fun of them. otherwise, you are taking a masturbatory shortcut that nobody is going to follow along with let alone seriously care about. which, fine, is not explicitly wrong? but it won't do anything to resolve your crushing sense of loneliness, especially in regards to an upwardsly-mobile forum topic such as this. arguably, it will only make it worse both immediately and long-term as it erroneously builds up a mental cache of trolls which you believe are conceptually sound but which you will never actually put in the legwork to see through.

On topic though, I tend to ignore guards unless they're wearing heavy armor. In which case sneaking up on them and stabbing their neck-holes is both economical and immensely satisfying, but ultimately wasted effort.

Depends on if the suppressor of the tranquilliser is gone or not

That sure is some nice rambling about nothing and reading way more into what he said than any sane person should. Well done.

At least I are smart.

I suspect this is the same lazy troll you just did though, so let's leave it there.

Rambling ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ counts as smart? Explains why people like Trump.

Aren't that the same people. that wanted to use armed force against that hurricane? I know, it's a serious topic, but really?

Stunning them shouldn't be used in long missions, approach them from behind and make them lay down (they'll never get up to hunt you later, unless someone finds them or you alert the base).

Putting them to sleep shouldn't alert the base, as they wake up confused and don't tend to alert the base (even when found by others).

If you wanna be 100% safe, just extract everyone LMAO. You can take over all the enemy bases, regardless of their size you get 300 heroic points for the big bases.

I normally either do as I told you, make everyone lay down on the ground and walk around like I own the place or I pass through everyone using stealth (harder but still fun).

Killing them will incur a penalty in your points overall.
