[Spoilers] Did you figure out the pattern to the even after Mission 26 yourself?

[himmatsj]

So, how did you deal with this? Did you know it was Kikongo yourself? Did you know it via a guide/spoiler etc?

How many people roughly did you lose?

When did you realize it was Kikongo? Upon realizing it, were you 100% convinced? Did you immediately quarantine all Kikongo speakers?

Sadly, despite me realizing the pattern (although to be honest, I wasn't 100% certain), I still lost like 20-25% of my team cause I got tired of quarantining all of the Kikongo guys. Lost lots of good men in that time.

Did this part of the game screw any of your up real bad?

when my staff start to get infected i just rush the mission and not doin any side op, not even trying to figure which carries and which are not

because miller mention something about cure, so i figure if i keep playing main mission the infection will eventually stop

I remember I spent an hour at mother base, using a water gun and shooting at my soldier's mouths and checking if they dropped any clues....

I.... kind of took Ocelot's clue about checking their mouths literally.
Then I started looking at soldier stats, and I noticed the language kept coming up.

I quarantined all of them, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I was already (just about) 400 men strong. I spent so long sending to quarentine Kikongo speakers... It took me forever.

I knew it had something to do with the languages the Infected spoke in common, but I was too lazy to do anything about it, so I just rushed the story missions.

I lost one hundred men and when Ocelot brought up their mouths, I thought it was the color that seemed to stand out. As I continued through the main story, and listening to Code Talker's cassette tapes I realized it was language and made me go: ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ I knew it was language....but that didn't cross my mind.

Seriously, this. I had 750+ men and there should have been a way to mass quarantine by langauge. Perhaps, after 20 correct successive quarantines or something, the game should have allowed you to mass quarantine all Kikongans.

I was kinda racist and assumed that it was going to effect all black people like Ebola or something so I quarantined every black person in my base. Partly because they were only black in that creepy hospital place. It didn't work COMPLETELY but it did erase a lot of the parasite death kill murder stuff that happened.

Then my friend messaged me like OMFG IT'S A KIKONGO STRAIN and I put the rest who spoke Kikongo as their main language into quarantine and, well I only really lost like 30 soldiers at most.

It was a fun little diversion though.

If anything it helped because shortly after that, S rank soldiers began appearing in free roam/missions and I had a recruitment drive, so it really saved me having to dismiss soldiers I guess. Wish Silent Basilisk had died though. Maybe I'll get to kill him later...though by being mute, he's probably exempt. Damn it.

[f.l.a.p.]

shortly after the virus brakesout on your base ocelot mentions that he as already put some people into quarantine. look at them and find out what do they have in common? they all speak kikongo. it is likely that they had contact with other kikongo speaking soldiers on your motherbase. so everyone they got in contact with could be infected aswell. quarantine them to prevent the virus/desease from spreading. wait till everyone who has symptoms died.

[Chromeo]

It was obvious to just looking at the infected profiles for a bit that the common factor was Kikongo, including from like Russians (okay, sure), but when you have 800 staff it's stupid to tell you to try to quarantine everyone who speaks it.

Lol.

Despite the fact that all of my original quarantined guys were white and all spoke the same 4 languages, I latched onto Kikongo immediately.
I thought it wasn't a real language.

Actually all the 7 guya who were auto quarantined by the game spoke Kikongo AND English...only one of them didn't speak English. So for a brief moment, I was quarantining Englist+Kikongo speakers.
