I didn't even think getting no traces are possible on this mission,Great work man.

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

+skylest32 It's possible in all but a few missions. Some are harder than others.

[@MegaJoojee]

you dont start in alert mode so how didnt you just stay there and wait and see and realize that they dont see you then just crawl away? been playing too much cod or something? ?

[@gr7582]

You would think that I'd be impossible to not be detected driving the truck😅

[@justadummy8076]

mtkl23 dude why do you have to be such a prick about it, it’s not exactly easy to get no traces especially during a Skulls mission, and most people encounter them at the truck stop where you’re “meant” to encounter them where it’s open plains and difficult to hide

The skulls got played like a damn fiddle.

Note the radio broadcast from the P.T demo playing on the radio in that little building there. Throughout the game you can also hear the creaky ghost noise from the demo too. Nice touches.

[@scott4398]

I think that was the sound of the light fixture swinging.

[@squeguinquack2570]

It's made by the same people who cancelled P.T

[@iwanttobelieveit]

It’s the best strategy against them

[@justanotheruser7641]

@@iwanttobelieveit plastering their way with a carpet of C4 and blowing it up with an rpg works too. It might be less stealthy tho.

[@Khyrid]

I threw grenades on them from a rooftop because they couldn't figure out the concept of up.

[@besnikmehmedi5018]

Well I don’t have sleep granades son

[@KatNoirZGK]

Not sure if i ever understood how the Skulls' AI worked in my time with the game. Are they like, zombies drawn in your direction? I was trying to stealth that part but their movement pattern seemed illogical (as in, they clearly know where I am, why aren't they just attacking me lol) At least it turns out that getting spotted by them is like a boss battle and you won't lose No Traces or anything for it :P

[@declan2775]

I got freaked out when I was hiding, and they found me lmao

[@2LowMeng]

They want to be like : "B*tch, we ain't afraid of you" and keep walking like bosses

[@KurwaRomek]

From my own experience yes, they are magically drawn towards you (by smell, maybe) in their zombie-like walk until they properly spot you, which triggers their combat mode. It's even more obvious in mission 2 (rescue Miller), if you wait past the bridge where you are when they show up they'll slowly come in your direction, go around them unseen and they'll turn over and start creeping up on you again. They are extremely moronic and will mistake a decoy for you every time, even if you're standing not far behind it though.

[@user-gc2bj5ns1p]

they smelled and heard u,not only saw u(during searching mode,unlike the sniper ones

[@LegionLeaguer]

MauserZGK the AI knows where you are and follows you for some reason but pretends it doesn't till you get into sight range

[@EvGriff42]

Here I was grinding side-ops and lifting more prisoners thinking I NEED to have the second level of Cargo balloons this early in the game just to beat this one mission. Now THIS, this is awesome. Good one, Boss.

[@jesse7328]

Evan Griffin you didn’t have cargo +2 by this point?

[@ZemHaz]

bruh SAME, I died way too many times on this mission so bailed and started grinding on side ops ffs

[@guillermogutierrez-santana4446]

well he is using the parasite suit...

[@justadummy8076]

Jesse if you don’t do enough side ops you won’t get it by this point

[@bigdaddytrips6197]

Yeah that's why I'm here. I just started playing this game and I was thinking how the hell am I going to extract the truck ?

[@pirmaiscalispagalma1479]

I spent so many hours trying to do this mission and in the end I just went guns blazing! I got the armored suit, a tank and a rocket launcher AND I GOT A S

[@mr.battle20]

If I trigger them, I typically just CQC them down, as my loadout for this mission is stealth-oriented. I try not to trigger them, though, and just use sleep grenades on them.

[@INeatFreak]

@@mr.battle20 how do you QCQ them? They move in group and get very aggressive and impossible get close once triggered. I haven't unlocked sleep grenades yet, so it was a painful hour trying to put them down with C4, Grenades and Rockets.

[@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome]

@@INeatFreak CQC counter their attacks, not literally walking up to the and doing the punch-kick thing

I love how I was just struggling with this mission and the second I go on youtube to look up tutorials this shows up in my recommended. XD

[@ruthlessred1295]

I hate stealth so watching you helped me a ton in this exact mission. I thought I fucked it up at first, but I wrapped them back around behind the building after getting them go toward that fenced off area. Thank you so much. I was stuck on the mission for the last 5 months.

[@themusicisliferaiden7334]

i dont have balloons for the car .. what should i do ??😢😢😢

[@SimonCrazyCatGaudet]

What I like with MGS5 it's how every players can found an unique way to beat the missions ( just like I remember how I beat MGS: GZ perhaps 50 times and all the time with different ways ), I didn't know you could use sleep grenade on them. :P

[@alexander7279]

They spot me as soon as the cutscene ends. Every. Damn. Time. How the hell did they not spot you?

[@mr.battle20]

He was laying prone just out of their field of vision. Going prone makes you hard to spot. When approaching the truck, remember that they'll appear once you're within 30m of it. Plan your approach carefully.

[@XRavenHunt]

Works perfectly on [EXTREME] difficulty as well. Thanks for the guideline.

[@myownthinker]

This is AMAZING!!! In addition to watching an awesome video, it provides great ideas on how to approach missions. Thanks so much!!

[@wiragregory9093]

You're pretty good. No, really, that was hella impressive. I struggled with this mission from the very beginning! 300+ hours in and I STILL had problems with these asshats.

[@user-kl8vj2qy9w]

I thought skulls were immortal so I extracted the truck without fighting them too (I didn't drive the truck just fulton extracted it). I noticed most of them do walk to you even when you're not actually spotted. Def a lot easier than taking them out.

[@Quicksilver-]

The Amount of retries this mission got me to do is insane THANKS FOR THAT VIDEO

[@torkai7703]

From all the possible videos, this one is the best. Thanks.

[@Ragna___]

I'm still playing this game and mixing bits and pieces in my gameplay. This was ridiculously easy. Thank you!

[@Schattenfaust2]

I didn't know those guys could just start sprinting up to you while searching, that was a bit creepy

[@J-AL-oh5]

Love your MGS V videos. It's actually helped me a lot in my own play style. I'm not quite the ninja you are, but I still learn a lot!

[@Holdsworthands]

i played this game on ps3 and it was a good port, i don't know how the ps3 can handle it, and i really enjoyed it, but watching these videos (specially this that is on pc) make me sad of not getting a ps4, or wait a little, when i was playing it i didn't notice but now these videos looks like in fast forward to me, the fps are like the double compared to the ps3 one! so much better :(

[@replica-m6731]

+Holdsworthands i had xbox360 played bf4 no end rank 127 blade runner then got pc not the best but good then ps4 wow graphics or great mate but i have to say i play,d cod 3 on ps4 and its a little slower then my friends 360 so i dont know but as stated you could look on flee bay and get a ps4 for not much dollars. but this game good headphones nice tv ps4 its bad man

[@supremebuffalo6322]

it is really great. Bloodborne and MGSV are the reasons I bought a ps4 this Christmas, and before that I was playing the MGS3 re-release for 360. The jump in graphics between MGS3 and 5 nearly made me fall off my chair

[@seetube5]

Yeah ps4 version is great too at 60fps 1080p.... It was playing ground zeros on ps3 and then seeing the ps4 version was what made me upgrade there and then.

[@gorgeousgeorge7104]

Holdsworthands why not to play this on PC?

[@jflq012]

Holdsworthands Dude it's ok why you have old gen, It's better casue u can mod on it but on the PS4 you can't. I'm a Sony fan and I have the mgsvtpp on PS3 PS4. And who gives the fuck about graphics just enjoy how the game is, I still play on PS3 and I don't give a fuck about gens. Just enjoy it on PS3 get a job wut gives you like 100 bucks and win you hit 300 order the PS4 bro

[@blackaliss9488]

Thanks. I will try this. Been on this mission now for hours and hours.

[@ErwinHeiser]

How on earth do you do that rolling thing?

[@UltimateWaifuXD]

+Erwin Heiser Rolling gives you the same amount of visibility as being prone while having the same speed as running at normal speed.

[@RATANAS2099]

+Erwin Heiser read the hints in the loading screen

[@mastersgaming7632]

hold down the aim button hold down the sprint button tilt in the direction you want to roll

[@robertwoodall4330]

+Erwin Heiser Aim while prone (L1 on PS3) then hold the left stick in the direction you want to roll and press L3 (dash button) to start rolling. Its just as silent as crawling and faster.

[@JiggyWiggyASMR]

+Erwin Heiser You have to aim with a weapon while prone, then you either tilt the left stick left/right or you may have to press the left stick down, then tilt it left/right

[@misfit2069]

Dude....wow...that's so awesome.....I'm a beginner...and it took me like, 3days I think...lol I got tired of screaming at the TV....lol and you did it like, it was nothing..... Thanks...

Damn I am replaying this now and did everything like you but I fultoned the truck.. did not end well haha

[@mayankgupta7367]

You are simply amazing..!!

[@Alkaris]

I did this mission a little differently, I waited until the truck got out into the open roads, then got close to the truck to trigger the cutscene, and fultoned the truck all while the Skulls are standing there and gotten out without a trace, because there's a bit of delayed reaction time from when they've come out of the truck and start looking for you, and they're blind as shit, so you can just walk right past them, but it has to be from either the back or front of the truck.

Do you know how to get undetected by the Skulls in the Ep. 37? It’s the Extreme version of this same mission if I remembered it right. I tried to approach the truck from the same position as you did, but idk why they always spotted me. Maybe because of the prone stance?

They always see you, no matters whast you do. .

[@goalski134]

[@mr.battle20]

It's not hard. Just make sure to keep a safe distance from them. You want to lure them, but not trigger them. If you're prone, don't let them get any closer than 10m, or you'll trigger them.
