How to quick save, or even just save?

[himmatsj]

Can't seem to find any key to quick save, nor can I seem to manually save via the menus.

Any idea guys?

I don't think you can. Autosaves only

[Sheytan]

The game only have checkpoints

WTF? It's open world man!!! Wow, just shocking!

From a review

"The Phantom Pain can be frustrating. The game checkpoints your progress at key locations or when you reach a pivotal part of a mission, but miss the location or fail to find that vital milestone and you can find yourself repeating the same section over and over again.

it's realy frustating yeah one time i was thinking i had chekpoint i closed the game.. then when i came back i had to redo thing i already done because of the save system !

[NemesisMNY]

it happened to me with the prologue, only had time to get through that so i quit after it.. had to re do it :v

I mean this is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible man. Why does it even have a "saving" icon then? Cause when I come back I get thrown back some ways.... :(

[himmatsj]

Ok, so noone knows how to do this yet?

Yup it stinks but it will only save to the last checkpoint you reached. =/

Personally it's bad cause I like to take my time and scope things out. So I could spend 30 minutes to an hour just scoping every angle to make sure I pull off a perfect mission.

I would love to be able to save during this time, cause I cannot guarantee myself one hour or two hours of game time each time I play. There are other things to do IRL man, so it just sucks.

Now I put myself under pressure to do things quicker. And, on the occassion where I spend a lot of time planning, I then have to exit and then come back and just rush through the mission, with most enemies not being marked.

If someone can figure out a way to help people like me, we'd much appreciate it.

Perhaps on consoles it makes sense cause people can play for hours at once, but on PC one minute I could be playing and the next I'd have to exit the game and do some work or something.

This is horrible for a open world ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. No quicksave REALY??? What the heck!!!

[sigmabody]

I'd go as far as to say this is a game-breaking oversight, especially for a stealth-based game which ENCOURAGES you to take your time and proceed methodically. How in the world can this game be highly rated with such a monumentally awful design blunder like this?

When does it autosave? because i have been doing side missions but when i exit the game it never saves the missions i do.....

[Newbie4life!!!]

I like it this way...the purposely did this so you can't cheese missions. By cheese I mean get to a specific hard part, save, keep trying until RNG gods favor you, save, get to next hard part, rinse and repeat. This way if you want a sneaky no alarm raised "no traces" mission, you gotta actually use skills (as opposed to save every so few and try over and over).
P.S If you didn;t know you can get no trace on specific missions for huge chunk of points

Whenever you move between areas. It'll show an icon in the upper right. Don't use Return to ACC without seeing that icon or it won't save. Exit to the title screen in the ACC to ensure you don't lose progress.
