Pros/Cons of Kill vs Stun?

[Endalrin]

Pretty much as the title states, what are the advantages and disadvantages between stunning everyone or killing everyone as I make my way through a level? Or a mix where, who do I kill who do I stun. Or do I just airlift everyone out once I get that ability?

i had tranq like 5 guys once, all next to each other and my teammates couldnt fulton any of them bc they kept dying. got a lot of points for tranq peeps but i feel like i should have gone lethel

first thing that comes to mind is u dont get a bountry count on you. so after stunning 20 times in that match i was only worth 1 fulton point (or w/e its called)

I was refering to single player storymode and I do not know what this word "fulton" means as I am just beginning to play the game.

if you stun before killing its an extra 100 points. If i can stun and fulton i do so, if i cant, then i kill.

Fulton is a "baloon" pack for extracting people, you will get it later in the game.

oh so that's what it's called okay sweet. Ya I'm so doing that.

OP, first of all, there is a wiki for this game, check what is fulton and what it for. Secondary read up about "karma" system (evil/good).
shortly, more you kill, more evil you become.

I'm aware of wiki, but my first personal choice is to poke my head into the forums and see what people say, tends to get me some good results on answers most of the time.

Secondly Karma system? Interesting, I didn't think Metal Gear did something like that. I remember Liquid telling me I killed countless dudes and I'm like. "What? No you crazy dude, I tranqued everyone."

when you wil get a base, you will need to extract people (keep em alive) to advance your base and unlock new weapons/gadgets for the start. The rest you will learn with time :)

[RubyNips]

the game will literaly will hald your hand to help you out with understanding of everything because its game story related.

[Endalrin]

Sounds interesting. I also came across some interesting things for the story. I'll have to play through and decided for myself how I feel about these storyline descisions that they made when making the game. (yes I read spoilers, and no, I don't regret it.) So ya, I almost want to go back and do a skim through of the older game's plots and storyline to see if this picture all makes sense or in truth, it's a cluster ♥♥♥♥ of a bunch of crazy and cool random ideas that they desperatly tried to work together to make sense.

The karma system is also a cosmetic aspect as it will be reflected on your apperance.

*Kill Pros:
-Soldiers killed wont bother you anymore for the current mission, unless you fail-restart the mission.
-Is easier to kill a soldier than stun/tranq them.


*Kill Cons:
-You cant move corpses and if a soldier see one, goes into alert.
-You dont get heroism points for kill, maybe even lose them

*Stun/Sleep Pros:
-You can fulto extract said soldier to Mother Base, so it wont bother you anymore unless you fail-restart the mission
-Interrogate soldiers for information as other soldiers positions, materials, objectives, if you CQC hold them
-Heroism points
-You can move the soldiers s out of sight or somewhere to fulton them.

*Stun/Sleep Cons:
-Soldiers will remain stun or sleep for a certain amount of time, depending on what kind of stun and sleep move/weapon and where you hit for them to fall into this state.
-Soldiers can hear the noises of someone being fultoned up to certain distance, and will investigate it.
-Watch your footsteps if you try to CQC a soldier, as they can hear you.
-Helments, Body Armor and others will be a problem for tranq weapons due the lack of penetration; so you must aim for specific body parts on those cases.

And...those are all I can think at the momment....

although I think I did kill someone then dump their dead corpse into a dumpster on the first mission.

Idiot, don't spoil it... That's a hidden feature for a reason.

doesn't seem like a big deal to me, from what I read it's purely cosmetic.
