Shrapnel Stuck in Snake's Head

[yeah...]

Ok, so I understand there is a piece of shrapnel stuck in his head, but it keeps getting bigger and it's starting to annoy me. Is there any way to get rid of it?

It grows the more evil your gameplay style is, and it shrink's the more hero rating you get.

Only way to get rid of it is a mod.

does it have something to do with your hero level or is it completelly seperate? also i rather just kill an enemy becouse most times they wake up before im done. is there a way to increase sleep time? :P

Hiding sleeping guards in things like dumpsters will hold them until someone else finds them. Also holding guards up will last until someone finds them or an alert goes off.

They're different stats, but a lot of the stuff that shrinks your horn will also give you heroism. Google "mgs5 demon points" if you want spoilers about specifically what to avoid.

Don't set people or animals on fire.

[yeah...]

Wait, so killing people adds to your "bad points"? I actually didn't know that. I usually killed everyone I didn't fulton extract because I didn't want them to wake up and tell everyone about me.

You wouldn't want to be like Eli, right?

Tranq target, kick him to wake him then aim down the sights to hold them up, they'll remain neutralized forever or until you cause a combat alert or somebody tells them to get up.

But that mod also removes the scars, i would like a mod without the horn but maintaining the scars.

"they'll remain neutralized forever ...or somebody tells them to get up."

I don't understand. Why are they getting back up if you held them up? Also: Thought they went hostile again if you let your guard (weapon) down. Hmm, hafta try this then. I always just kick them back alert after tranqing them, then I grab them in a chokehold before they get fully back on their feet, (interrogate them), then I knock them back out again with the chokehold. Then I Fulton them the heck outta there to make sure they don't come back. If they're low-level in skills D, or E, then I might try this "holding them up" trick.

I wish scar and horn customization/removal were in the game by default. But I guess that's why we can play as other people.

My question is, is the Avatar effected by Demon Snake? Like does he get the blood all over him too? If so, I'd probably stick just to using the Combat Unit. Thunder Rhino is badass anyway. (He's the guy with the godlike stats that you pick up from Mission 3 I think.) He's also the only male NPC that doesn't look ugly as sin. And he has a unique face that no other NPC shares.

I find it easier to just fulton everyone at the base save u a lot of trouble later on some mission. Especially the HELLBOUND mission.
