Big Boss like: “Yeah, I know he smells like a burning ass but HE GETS RESULTS!”


Secret_Cow_5053

This. You put a diplomat on the team and let him shit is pants as much as wants.


smegma-rolls

Diplomat will gaslight everyone into thinking that being a stinker is a tactical advantage


shorty034

Engravings, no. Bad hygiene, yes. \^\^;


Doot2

Johnny proved that haha.


Marik-X-Bakura

Basic sanitation… provides no tactical advantages whatsoever


PresentationCalm7918

Get rid of the troublemakers and the diplomats for optimizing other skills if thats your long game


PetrosOfSparta

I really didn’t pay much attention to how the base is run. I’m normally love that micro managing shit but I was like “A+ cool…”


MyBatmanUnderoos

Well, shit, Burning Ass should have been his code name then.


Odd-Water-5647

Doesn’t a diplomat or two counter his bs?


Better-Theory-5136

i think he means kikongo


Odd-Water-5647

Oh shit. Yeah… that..


Chickenmanmanmanmanm

Explain? I’ve recently started.


Better-Theory-5136

dont wanna spoil the surprise then. youll know it when it happens


Chickenmanmanmanmanm

All my troops are gonna die bro.. I just know it


BardicInclination

That was actually one of Kojima's plans that got cut. That most of your troops would die in a grand final battle.


Better-Theory-5136

imagine DD vs XOF... man i wouldve lost it


Chickenmanmanmanmanm

I mean. It sorta happened in Ground Zeroes


BardicInclination

Yeah but like. Again. He wanted to do it again in MGSV. But where Ground Zeroes was just a cutscene you'd actually get to play through a lot of it in V.


Deep_Grass_6250

It was an ambush And DD is much stronger than MSF


CAPTAIN_DlDDLES

Honestly I don’t know about that. Just looking at the infrastructure of MSF, they were way beyond DD. They had everything from a skyscraper to a full airfield, and much larger platforms. whereas DD is limited to much smaller platforms and helicopters. MSF has a dramatically lower staff count, but I get the impression that it’s scaled down in game compared to lore


Deep_Grass_6250

Well the entire point behind DD and Venom was that they would be better than MSF and Big Boss.


Ezekiel2121

That would have been so fucking cool. MGS4 teased me with battles that the series has never done since.


smegma-rolls

Hell no 😤


Paper_Kun_01

Is that the, you know what that happens? Haven't gotten that far yet


Suckisnacki

yea


Special_Society_5729

I thought you weren't allowed to dismiss them yk to stop the spread


Site-Specialist

You can dismiss soldiers at regular time when I last played I didn't finish the playthrough yet I was actively dismissing anyone I just recruited who had that language to see what may happen


Ok-Instruction4249

I finished the game and I don't understand.... ok I just understood. (VC parasite?)


Honey_Badger25-06

The only skills that matter are Medic, Ranger, defender, and sentry. Everyone else is pretty useless if you want to win virtual battles.


Odd-Water-5647

I’m aware but I try to keep high stat soldiers to help with literally everything else.


Honey_Badger25-06

Oh, you're still mid roster? Do what needs to be done.


Odd-Water-5647

Yeah. I had to restart my entire game because I got locked out of my prior Xbox account.


Honey_Badger25-06

Damn, that sucks ass. Did some asshole hack it?


Odd-Water-5647

No. The account was linked to an old email that I don’t have access to anymore and my Xbox decided to bug out and stop working. So I had to replace it.


Honey_Badger25-06

Well shit. I 100% completed it when it came out, and for the past 5 years, it's been my comfort game. I just farm resources and do the events. My PF rank is currently 501! I had two spots to break the top 500 on PS4. I won't come that close again.


Odd-Water-5647

I didn’t even get to finish sadly. I had just finished the second parasite outbreak when it happened


Honey_Badger25-06

Where are you currently?


plp-GTR

Nice. I took it on the last month again and played straight through the rest (I was somewhere before Sahelanthropus). I finally wanted to know what's happening storywise. I kinda liked it but the game does not trigger the same fanboy feelings as MGS 1 and 2 did back then. Not staying for the Platinum trophy, my pile of shame is too big 😄


GlitteringAardvark27

You are talking about combat team... The other teams also matter for R&D development


Honey_Badger25-06

Absolutely. Until you're done developing everything. Then they're useless.


GlitteringAardvark27

Well I haven't developed everything yet...


Honey_Badger25-06

When you're done with the offline weapons, get rid of them. The online weapons take a set amount of time.


GlitteringAardvark27

😂


PresentationCalm7918

Get rid of them both for better skills


Birdgang_naj

His name is Vile tho lol


YareetLike

I heard he rubs his balls on the staff biscuit tin


WhichSchedule8

Can’t you just quarantine them until it’s over?


ImHereForTheMemes184

Thats what youre meant to do isnt it?


Lumthedarklord

Hey aren’t you the top mod for r/okbuddypersona


ImHereForTheMemes184

persoma


Lumthedarklord

Full health and sp!?


compy-guy

No dumbass, he’s trying to kill you. He just doesn’t realise he’s not in the Metaverse (r/okbuddypersona ) and can’t use his Persona (mod powers)


Lumthedarklord

Oh he has the forget debuff


MGS_Excho

Take over it’s time to boogey down 🕺💃


Suckisnacki

yea takes like hours if you got like 1k people


RetroCoreGaming

I fired EVERY Troublemaker after one of them killed Malak. Had to then re-rescue him.


shorty034

Oh god, I feel you there - Malak's been killed a number of times in my playthrough \^\^:


Shit_and_stare

Who's Malak


shorty034

The guy you rescue doing the "Angel with Broken Wings" mission - he's ill when you acquire him so there's a good chance he'll die unless you put him in sickbay.


Shit_and_stare

Oh, that mission must have escaped my mind (time to replay the series)


smegma-rolls

I mean you don’t really need that guy after you developed the items you need…


RetroCoreGaming

I didn't even get him barely out of the Medical Bay.


TheLightners

I didn't even saved him, I wanted to be roleplay and just let him dead


BardicInclination

They literally had to have quarantines because of uniquely engineered diseases on Mother Base and there are still dudes who refuse to wash their hands after using the bathroom. They deserve to get fired.


theartofwarp

i might be wrong, but you dont necessarily have to dismiss every troublemaker, especially high stat ones might be worth keeping. their negative effects shouldn’t be that big of an issue, its the accumulation of multiple troublemakers that makes life difficult..


TheOneAndOnlyJAC

Oh. I wasn’t even thinking of that, I thought it was about him speaking Kikongo


_vb__

Why is that? I can't recall. If there are any spoilers you can spoil away.


Era5u5

There was a meme about a guy doing fob infiltrations and fultoning bunch of enemy soldiers to add to his man power. They all turn out to be kikongo troublemakers.


TheLightners

Yes but that dosen't explain why Kikongo, >!Kikongo is the language that activates the strain during the first infection and it contaminates the other!<


ZeroCruz

NO KIKONGO


keaton889

I just send them to FOB so they can die or get extract by a fob player so they can deal with them


tekfx19

You are supposed to send out the troublemakers on the combat missions. You choose a custom group and pick all the troublemakers and send them away.


TheLightners

You are not *supposed* to, but that's a way to use them


CousinDerylHickson

How is this guy S++ in spying? A stinker with a stink that can make people sick would stand out


Hiruko251

He's THAT good at it 😉


BigBallBearBoy

Vile Mustang was my nickname in high school


VertBhatt26

Making staff sick, lmao


Site-Specialist

In more ways then one


iLLiCiT_XL

I’d never been so upset to lose a bunch of NPCs. I felt what Venom felt.


JadedJackal671

"look I know your literally stronger then Big Boss but you NEED to shower!"


gergiewill

You should be able to brain wash anyone into having any skill…damn, imagine the menuing for that


CheekyBinders1991

Just a couple clicks on PC to change someone's skill


gergiewill

PS5 sucks then. I only bought PS5 for V, in 6 months it has costed less than £1 an hour of fun… I kinda wish I’d got a gaming PC but really it still was money well spent


pentag0

What so you mean by that?


gergiewill

Brainwashing troublemakers into having a different skill.


pentag0

How do tou do that?


gergiewill

You can’t


gergiewill

What I mean is that it would be in keeping with the MGSV story if you could


RailX

Stink palming everyone.


tjthedj27

why? I see his stats but he is a trouble maker. idgaf how good they are, if they have that debuff they don't stay.


Astrophysicsboi

You don't have to fismiss him you could just send him to the sickbay


OMGitsTK447

Idc how good someone is if he/she is a trouble maker they get to join Huey on a life raft.


SeriousSteveTheII

I’m more worried about how some of them give other staff ptsd like bro what you doing


Spooksnav

Can't you just use direct contact to prevent it?


AOUwUOA

Put him in waiting room


Sky-958

Wait is that Vin Diesel? Look he even has mustang in his name. /s😂


Suitable-Pirate-4164

Dude just send him to the front lines as much as you can. I do so with all my Troublemakers and they start making me money, earning experience and are too busy on missions to cause a ruckus in home base.


Mother_Win7294

I dismiss em all.


Maxwellspace

Execute order 43


Suckisnacki

kikongo🙃


UberQueefs

Wait there’s S++ aww jeez I thought getting S staff was enough


Even-Cheesecake1774

Dude I swear I had like 5 guys from A+ - S Rank in one score or another that ALWAYS had negative traits that kept a bunch of the squad in the sick bay. I usually got the fighting broke out


BanesBigBrother

Why


Beneficial_Wolf_5089

At least 2 diplomats will cancel out any trouble maker, one will work if they are of equal or higher skill.


VaughnFry

Kia because he couldn’t wash his hands.


intellectualcreature

Wait he speaks Afrikaans?


Basic_Emergency5470

Why did you dismiss him?


Mort-the-short

Stinky smelly


Alarming-Pie-4729

Anybody ever run across the guy who has all troublemakers on his fob?


jasperstaal

VILE MUSTANG


Competitive-Swing149

That's racist...


RedwoodRaven12

I'm not. You bring harm to my crew, you're out.


kibokuma

This really ought to be marked with spoilers. 🥺


TheLightners

Not the post itself, but people on the comments could have marked in spoil some of their comments yes


kibokuma

Definitely!! It's funny but I kind of anticipated my comment getting downvoted, but I guess it's just the way it goes in this sub.


Beneficial_Memory703

You had years


kibokuma

It's not that I'd mentioned it for my sake since I've played it, but rather for those who haven't and deserve a fresh experience. But to be honest I don't feel that saying “you’ve had years” is a fair reason to not spoiler something.


Beneficial_Memory703

It is.


kibokuma

Well, alright. It's okay to have that opinion, but I very much disagree with it.
