Finding Walker Gears outside of Main Missions

[radament's lair]

I need to collect Walker Gears for some Combat Deployments but I can't find any in their usual spots. Is there a set place I can find them? I collected them before but I sold them because I couldn't use them at all.

repeat story missions, fulton walker gears. sleep nades and tranqs. use sleep gas strikes if you really need to, but they can get expensive.

oh okay, i assumed i couldnt since i cant repeat side ops. thanks.

Kind of a shame the vehicles are missing from free roam, really. Would have been nice to have enemies call in tanks or have walker gears on patrol.

[radament's lair]

yeah that's what i was hoping for.

Spoiler opinion:

I'm so pissed you can't pilot Battle Gear

D-Walker is your own custom walker gear, but it would still be nice to call in the generic ones. They are less effective but vehicles cost nothing to deploy, and they provide more protection to the user from the front.

He's talking about Battle Gear, not Walker Gear.

Oh, right.

Battle Gear was put into the game as a vehicle, but apparently it imbalanced things a lot so they remove it. It feels like this was last minute as they make a big deal out of Battle Gear being built with it's own cutscenes and area on MB. Only for it to be dispatch missions only.

I don't see why they couldn't make it restrict rankings like the rest of the OP gear.

yeah that really pissed me off. just let us have it, even if its OP. Hell, theres tons of other things in the game that make it too easy. This would just be a really cool toy.

-We were going to have that but it was removed due to it destroying the games balance from what I hear.-

[radament's lair]

I know but there's so much that's already gives you a huge advantage it shouldn't matter. You pretty much have infinate ammo and can collect a ton of vehicles. not to mention if you're good enough you can ♥♥♥♥ all over NPC's. Also stealth camo and such. We should be able to use it but have it restricted to getting a B rank or lower or something.

Battle Gear would have been a nice post-completion unlockable.

And I agree that it's disappointing that so many things are absent from the open world. Encountering tanks, armored combat vehicles or walker gears randomly in outposts would have been awesome. As would have been random encounters with XOF forces backed up by skulls.

yeah especially the skulls. We see trucks and jeeps pass through but never tanks :(

I feel bad for buying this game now, it's two late for that two hour refund...

[eiamhere692]

Quite disappointed in this respect. Beautiful engine - absolutely beautiful, and the game is smoth as, but every Metal Gear has been the next step / stand out game.

This one just seems like a polished Just Cause 2 with less of everything.

A few similar camps sparsely located about the map, but not much gameplay other than that. I hope as I get further in there's more depth, Kojima (and his team) have set such a high standard with the predecessors.

The game is still good. Just not perfect.

One thing is the bonuses, I mean I was gonna buy the game regardless, it's Metal Gear, I don't have time to log in every day, so I lose iut bonuses.

Even when I've logged in, only once did it actually offer me the bonuses, not sure if I received them, although it said I did.
