METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Let's talk about Mission 9.
Backup, Back Down.. Screw you, Mission 9.

So, on my first try, I got it down to the two tanks. They were at the checkpoint South of the supply outpost. One tank down, D-Horse has been shredded. Quickly, reload the Level 3 RPG and fir- oh wait, I'm standing a meter away. And so I died. Okay, sure, fine, my fault.

And then I got restarted to the beginning.

I was mad as hell, but okay, fine, that was my stupidity. Here we go again. Second round. Got it down to the final two tanks again, but this time it was north of the supply checkpoint, in the canyon. Two tanks, both down. Alright, great. Let's get out of here. What's that, Ocelot? "Soviet Reinforcements?" That's fine, I'll just avoid them.

Little did I know, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was about to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ by a battle tank and a gunship. I look behind me and I see a tank. No problem, D-Horse is fast. Then I see the gunship. I get into a spot where it can't hit me and call Pequod in about 600 m away. Peqoud is unarmored, but I'm willing to take that risk.

"This is Peqoud, on station at LZ!" I dart out with D-Horse only for the gunship to absolutely rip him to shreds and knock me off. I run for my life but the gunship gets nice and low and releases all of it's MG rounds. I die, but I have a shred of hope.

Maybe this time, I got a little further. I completed the main objectives. Maybe, just maybe, I can get a checkpoint right before the reinforcements arrive.

Game goes, "NOPE HUHUH, YOU'RE BACK TO THE START BUCKO!"

First time ragequitting that hard.

The only requirement of that mission is to extract 1 of the armored vehicles. Everything else is gravy. Sounds to me like you went above and beyond the 2nd time around, but tripped at the finish line.

That mission isn't hard, it just takes time and chill. Don't rush it, just do it.

Well, destroy or extract only 1.

I guess you just have to be prepared to try. Use the Grom-11 and stay on the roads that they travel along.

There's no checkpoint in that mission. You have one shot, Boss!

It's an easy enough mission, the hard part about it is trying to get the damn mission tasks done, if they are done separately they are not half bad, but trying to do multiple of them... Yeah good luck.

there is a checkpoint if you follow them to their destination. After that I stealthed around, eliminated the infantry, then c4'd the two tanks simultaneosly and then used a missile on the colonel. It took me a couple of tries so I know there is a checkpoint.

You can't follow them to their destination in BUBD, that is outside the area of operation.

C4 on the roads (bridge is your best bet to avoid detours) and have a Launcher as backup. Going back once you have better equipment makes it easier, but you can manage a lot of the enemy vehicles by setting up these ambushes.

I liked that mission, just rode around on D-horse shooting everything with my grom-11 and putting c4 in the road. The turrets on the APCs and tanks turn so slow they can barely even line up a shot before getting destroyed.
