rewards for optional objectives and mission ranks

[Alpharius Omegon]

so i looked on the ign walkthrough and it said if you complete certain optional objectives or get a or s rank you get certain rewards like 1 a rank support staff if you get a rank in mission 1. i got a rank but i didnt get an a ranked support staff? is that outdated or what?

Say, how much time have you spent playing the game? Veteran players wouldn't ask that kind of question.
It's not outdated, you've got to finish the mission with S-Rank, finish all the optional objectives and then replay it again, for all the effects to kick in.
I've platinum'd the game (basically did everything there is to do) and everytime I replay any mission, just for the kicks, I get either S++ or S+ staff for the motherbase, which is already filled with them badboys. It also might depend on your MB level. Having overall C-Ranks wouldn't give you an S-Rank soldier in the end, you've got to fulton them in the first place.

im quite new but on the walkthrough it did say 1a rank for a grade and 3 a rank for s grade ect. so you need to replay for the rewards then? and for the optional, how does that work?

It's like that, the faster you finish the mission (no kills, no alerts, no reflex), the better (but you don't have to). In the beginning, you won't be getting any rewards, as in Top-Tier recruits, you'll have to fulton them yourself. The further you progress in the game and the higher your heroism stats, the more famous your Mother Base will become and Miller will comment you on that. Hence the Higher-Rank soldiers will willingly volunteer as recruits to your MB.
Optional Objectives (means more GMP, more heroism etc.) - you don't have to finish them during the first time you're playing the mission, since you can replay the mission anytime you want. But remember this, your enemies will take precautionary measures the next time you're going to replay the mission you've already finished. Say, you've headshot every single enemy during your first take on the mission. Next time you're there, they'll be wearing helmets.

thats not what i mean, if you go onto the ign walkthrough at the top of the page it said challange tasks ect. get a grade in mission reward is 1 a rank support staff for mission 1. i got a rank in mission 1 but i didnt get the a grade staff. that is my question.

Just checked out IGN's walkthroughs. It says to finish the mission with A rank or above. Try S-Ranking it and let's see the outcome.

You mean the Challenges? They get switched out now-and-again.

Meaning that instead of getting an A rank on Mission 1, you have to fulton 10 soldiers in mission 2 instead, for example.

well i got an s rank and nothing ):. where can you find a list of challenges to complete and their rewards? to bad about the ign ones being wrong, would be nice.

If the option isn't there, you need to advance further into the story until it gets unlocked.
