METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

[Spoilers] What are your thoughts on the parasite suit?
In my opinion, it looks like a random guy tried to make a grey-latex-only cosplay suit of the skulls in his garage.

The game also decides to limit your rating to an A, because extracting skulls isn't hard enough.

Last but not least, I don't see why you would use a parasite suit when you can use a battle dress and stealth camo.

the suit is pretty much a cheat. Animal suit was and still is the best for everything.

Suit itself isn't, parasite powers is, you can equip the suit without having any access to any of the parasite powers.

Source: Me, I just can't figure out how to extract any of the skull units.

I like how you say "spoilers" and then put the spoiler right in the title of your thread. Seeing as I've played for 50 hours and have no idea what the parasite suit is, unless that's some cute name for the sneak suit.

Just saying, not everyone will know that that is so just putting that in your title in and of itself is a spoiler as now I'm wondering what the hell that is and when I come across it.

The powers involve armor, invisibility, and... mist dispersal. Parasite armor is temporary, while battle dress is permanent. Invisibility powers can easily be replaced by stealth camo. Mist dispersal is pretty much the only unique thing.

Parasite suit. Oh no, you know its a "thing." I definitely spoiled the game for you. (It doesn't work that way.)

Like I said, I have the suit but have yet to extract any of the skull unit to power it up so no power-ups for me, currently I have absolutely no use for it when I have sneak suit.
I don't think there would be enough use for it even if you did have powers, lol.
Irony with that spoiler tag.

Haven't gotten around to using the powers yet.

are you trolling? they announced them way before the game ever came out, showed them off. even had them in like the first mission...so did you spend hours on the start screen or prologue or something?

Rather disappointing from a visual perspective. Its the male version of the suit with some slight tweaks to it. Female combat staff wear the same exact suit, just with an obvious change to the chest area, wish they'd gotten the female version of the suit the skulls wear ;-;

As for a power perspective it really doesn't do anything special. Wear combat dress and use stealth camo and you're already better off. It's kind of pointless really.

wait what the ♥♥♥♥? how do you get your staff to wear the parasite suit?
I was playing FOB and this guy's staff had parasite suits but they were black, impossible to headshot tranq them because their entire face and back of head was armor plated, also they had chest body armor and stuff, absolutely crazy, looked way different to parasite suit but it was definitely related to the skulls somehow I think, anyone have any idea what that is?

it does make sense to not put some effort considering how rare females are on this game

In war woman are usually a minority

just kill them as normal and fulton them. might want to leave one alive and grab the 3 downed ones then finish the last one. easy ;)

One thing I found quite useful about the parasite suit's abilities is that once they are activated (camouflage, mist or armour) they stay active until they run out, meaning you can activate mist or camouflage then activate the NVG to give you an incredible edge in densely populated outposts/missions. Stealth camo, however, cannot be used simultaneously with NVG due to sharing the same item slot.

If I equip the suit (for cosmetic reason) without any capsule, will I still be limited to rank A ?
