How to tranq guards in FOB?

[Thingz N Stuff]

Okay so I am still new to the game. Just recently unlocked FOB and saw this Event thing going on. I wen't in with my Tranq sniper and handgun. But everytime I attempt to shoot them with either the bullets just fly off.

Watched this Youtube video of it. And this guy is 1 Shot tranquing with his handgun without headshots, and mine just fly off. What am I doing wrong?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfw4-bZDwHk is the video

I want to get more guards from this FOB as for they seem to have good ones. But all of my tranq shots are just flying off of them.

How can I make it so I am like the player in the video

Well his tranq-gun is lvl7 and I think you get AP rounds somewhere around that lvl of upgrade, that could be the reason. I recently switched from playing MGSV on ps4 to pc so when you don't have that kind of equipment yet it's better trying to complete stealth and bring something heavy just in case all goes to ♥♥♥♥.

the video is not of the FOB event 'Bound Dragons.' the video is from an old FOB event or a regular non-lethal FOB being infiltrated by Venom. He's using the WU-Tranq + SB pistol which one-shots any non-lethal guard instantly.

The guards in the FOB event 'Bound Dragons' are wearing Riot Gear so all bullets bounce off their armor so that's why you're having trouble neutralizing them with regular weapons. You gotta use a weapon with a high penetration index or airshock pump action shotgun to knock them senseless.

The difference is the guards in the video are wearing skintight rubber suits and the event guards are wearing full riot gear.

Okay thanks all for the information

I have another question though. How do I get higher level graded weapons? Do I need to find a blueprint for each new Level'd rank before I can craft. Or is there another way for it to show up in the development tab?

Some you get through finding blueprints, upgrades usually become available when your MB and/or FOB reaches a new lvl(based on staff). Most of them require a high R&D lvl, support, intel and medical becomes relevant too.

Okay so if I understand this correctly..

Some weapons are obtained via Blueprints ingame. But the higher rank versions of them only show up on the develope list when my team is high enough?

Its not like a seperate thing where I have to find a Blueprint for Rank 8 of a specific weapon?

[BULLY HUNTER_69]

Almost, I think you can see the next 2 stages for every gun(counting from your current one). Let's say you have a gun lvl1, then you should atleast be able to se lvl2 and lvl3. When you upgraded that gun to lvl2 you should be able to see lvl3 and lvl4.

There are also a few guns where lvl2 or lvl3 require a blueprint(even if lvl1 for the gun did not require a blueprint), I think Macht37 is one of them.

There are also special requirments for guns such as soldiers with a very specific ability, lets call those"specialists"; if you look at the missions, those wil show the specialists you can extract from said mission to meet those.

Usually you only need blueprint or specialist for a specific level for each gun. Once you passed that level, higher level don't need blueprint or that specailist.
