MGS5 FOB Guide - Infiltration 101

[@Falcon197]

At long last, the FOB Security video is here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYDEg6qBndOpqc0

[@bobbyyogah1850]

Falcon 197 I play the spider I put boxes traps sleep nades decoys everywhere and funnel all engines to one location and take them down usually I run an s1000 and I stay in my chopper to scope out how I’m going to handle things like removing a camera then putting an e stub right in front of it scare the snipers so they come down and leave a box there put them down and by this time the drone has come down and other guys are heading over to check the location I go in the path -sleep mine the whole thing use a sniper to take out a drone over water to make noise by this time they went into alert so .....I place active decoy every where and cut the lights then I throw snun nades where I see fit it takes about 4 mins of planing and but it can easily be broken on and under the bridge so I take boxes

Dude, thank you. I started replaying MGSV recently because I got it on sale. While I LOVE the game (as I always have), when I started losing against more than 70% of the FOBs I went after, I felt like crap. This video is not only funny, informative, and considerate, but it's gonna help the likes of ME do at least a little better when it comes to FOBs. You've earned my sub and my respect.

[@Falcon197]

Glad you found it helpful!

As a new player to this game, and as someone who has just unlocked the FOB missions, this is the most detailed, thorough and helpful of all of the FOB guides on KZbin. Even though I play on PlayStation, this video is invaluable knowledge and I appreciate the effort that went into making it👌🏻💯👍🏻

[@thebluestcrowe]

Small tip. The bandana defends you from getting seriously wounded (when the screen goes dark red slow mo and you need to find somewhere to use that first aid spray) but you cant be seriously wounded in FOBs so wearing it is entirely pointless (other than fashion points).

[@Falcon197]

Very true. I just happen to find it fashionable :P

[@voteZDLR]

Thank you for making this, I am not a newb at the game but I am at a point in the game where I couldn't just cheese my way through low-level FOBs stealing tons and tons of unguarded resources. I went from rank 65k to like rank 14k and got tons of resources in the process but now the bases I am given the option of infiltrating are night and day different from what I was doing back then. Any low-ranked players that see this, do realize you "rank up" once a day. While you are a low level, take advantage of that as long as you possibly can because once you get to a higher rank you're gonna wish you could attack some of those weaker FOBs again.

[@narkotri1er716]

Late to the party, but kudos to the great guide. Just one small correction regarding best ghosting uniform, those are gray urban and square fatigues, giving camouflage boost on concrete terrains, as FOB ghosting is more about avoiding to be seen as much as possible than being heard (talking about the footsteps)

[@eliwolfe9344]

I just came back to mgsv and just watched your base secuirty, your guides are awesome and get right to the point, thanks so much for the help!

[@crimsonhawk4912]

Wow. Up until 7:11 I've done all this with out help. So far I'm on the right path. I didn't think to look at the skill of the fob soldiers

[@TommTooTone]

Thanks, Ever since I switched to snipers my base hasn't been attacked once. It's not the rifle it's that snipers have a larger sight radius meaning every single guard can see you from a platform away almost. It's kind of stupid bcuz I would like to use other types but don't want to be at a disadvantage

[@bababoooeey3657]

I'm gonna take a small guess here and say that splinter cell blacklist helped you choose the names for infiltration styles lmao, good and informative vid in any case

I’m getting started on my FOB journey thanks in part to you and your guides. I’ve got 1 fob built slowly working towards making each platform out one by one

[@cyrthurix]

I started playing again after about a two year hiatus and all I knew in the back of my head was "don't play FOB missions until you unlocked the AMD 114 at rank 5" precisely because it makes them so much easier for me. The high penetration and insane rounds per suppressor, as well as great accuracy close to mid range, makes taking care of an obstacle a no brainer (literally, headshots are easy). It would also allow me to play my favorite playstyle in missions, somewhat aggressive but still sneaky enough to keep things clean. Couple of months down the road, I find this video since I was looking for some general tips again, watched your security video, and I remembered you're why I even figured my whole loadout out. You're why I'll look at the gear I develop and screw around with loadouts and custom weaponry and why I started thinking more tactically instead of just going for whatever is a higher rank. It's saved me a lot of headaches. Anyway I'm rambling, your video was so well put together and presented and written that I remembered a chunk of it by heart, two years down the line, even though I forgot what the source of that information was. That's good shit right there. Thank you boss! As a little tip to people who've read this far for some reason: when you have an AR or even rifle you can't put an attachment on? Try swapping out your barrel for a longer one or keep scrolling until "attachment" turns yellow, and you should be able to put one on there when you swap to that barrel instead of the default. The G44k is a good example of this (and a solid AR!). Put stun grenades on there! Gas masks won't protect against those so it's good for any situation where you're caught or close to fucking up.

[@Falcon197]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad the info's still useful even this far on!

[@ckirblacka9775]

[@ClearSkyeHD]

You missed Direct Contract which prevents your character from KIA. I lost 2 of my best S++ staff in FOB missions and was a little confused about why I was suddenly playing as Snake again. I got the definitive experience yesterday and I thought that makes your staff killable (Transfer). I started using new staff to upgrade their stats and I thought direct contract just locks them in the staff roster so they don't move to another platform. I had no idea that protects them as well when playing as them

[@ClearSkyeHD]

The definitive experience btw was on sale for $4 so why not get everything. I also got an unexpected 2000 MP so that was also a very nice bonus. There is still much I need to learn but I'm not exactly new, just haven't played as much. I'm currently on my third waters FOB building that up 2/4 for each, dangerous but I'm trying to grind for materials for 3/4 so I can at least breathe without the fear of raids

[@ClearSkyeHD]

I also made the noob mistake of making a nuke with a command platform 1/4. The intruder got killed but they got the nuke. Though I think they are either a hacker, or someone that's been playing from day one. Espg. Rank 726, PF Rank 1914, all S++ staff mainly, with 2+ million in each resource. Everything is maxed out as well. LV.75. I have no hope of retaliating against them but I was watching your video to find out everything I can do to at least get back at them. Might capture as many S++ staff as I can

[@emoducky]

I know it’s an old guide but ya didn’t mention wearing the square fatigues, which is like 5x better for a ghost player to wear as the sneak suit only increases health regen and some very minor defense up, it offers no camo whatsoever. The squares give you good camo on FOB and makes guards take longer to spot you.

[@AngraMainiiu]

Stealth stops NVG guards from spotting you further away though.

[@normaloperations3484]

Me listening to this: yeah that’s logical Also me: (always picks full assault)

[@diredier]

Great guide, love how you explain the mindset

[@DriscolDevil]

Great work, very helpful. I played most of the story before touching fob missions, assumed it was some shitty micro transaction cookie clicker shit that konami forced in. As I got better at the game, I said I wished there was a hard mode and more old school infiltration and stealth. Then I finally tried fob missions, which is all of that. It almost feels like a separate mgs game made in the same engine. I'm sure konami would sell it as a full priced separate game if they had thought of it.

Can you do a tutorial video on weapon customization? I always hear people talking about using certain barrels and pieces to make a weapon into something that acts as another weapon.

You are one of the few youtubers still covering this game, and I really want more indepth explainations for some of the games' features like FOB, Customization and Stealing Nukes.

[@afrosheenix]

Zaku Guriin what you're talking about exploited a bug that has been patched long ago. People were able to add sniper barrels to grenade launchers etc before the patch. For customization, focus on making the gun quiet, auto aim, and accuracy for long range guns.

[@venn7eance925]

Are there videos that focus on the individual Global Events that we, as new players, will be participating in and how to maximise your success as well as what unique rewards to look out for and grind for? Coametics are nice and everything, but what should we avoid spending points on and what should we focus on? Also how to optimise your chances in the virtual leagues? Currently the Mosquito event is running, and considering how many videos I've seen with this event I'm guessing its in a regular rotation schedule so those rewards eill become available again? Is there a Discord community associated with this channel?

[@Falcon197]

So many questions ... None of my content covers the global events in detail, but I'm sure there are other channels that do. Unique rewards to prioritize will usually be weapon upgrades or max tier staff, which are by-far easiest to earn through the events versus abducting them off bases with top security. If all you do is earn enough points to grab a few S++ staff, you're doing right. Events tend to rotate every 2-3 weeks and last I checked there are 5 events: New World Order, Bound Dragons, Freedom from Oppression, Skulls Attack, and Mosquito's Legacy. That's also the order. And currently there isn't any Discord for my channel but I plan to eventually make one. I'd prefer to break 2K subs first :D

I never did a FOB before this newest event bc I wasn’t high enough level, but I just got decent stuff and now I can’t do any FOB because everyone is extremely high level aka s++, best weapons, uniforms, security upgrades. Maybe I just have to get the best items in the game.

[@Falcon197]

Keep checking the attack menus, just to see if you get any lower opponents. It's possible that your ESP rank is too high, or maybe more people have been using hacks lately.

[@Falcon197]

Good question, actually. The game may not list your FOB online until you perform the initial configurations after Mission 21, but even if you aren't exposed you should be aware that having an active FOB benefits you by upgrading your force capabilities. So while stockpiling resources is nice, you can do more with better equipment which you'll need to research, and you can only do that with higher-leveled teams.

Very helpful video but i have a question. If i do an indirect revenge for one of my support and i got caught/spotted, can the guy i invaded can retaliate me or since it's an indirect revenge he can't attack me? Thanks

[@Falcon197]

As a general rule, getting spotted gives the base owner a retal wormhole. There are some weird exceptions, like if you attack someone high-tier, get spotted, and don't do much any damage. But you're safer assuming you'll create a wormhole if you're ever detected. FOB mode was designed to create running rivalries.

[@the_Monkey_Wolf]

Still watching your videos!

[@Vendingmachine24]

How do you find the Enemy FOB S++ staff? When I scan staff all I find is super low level staff.

[@Falcon197]

You might not be able to attack bases with max rank staff yet. As you gain more ESP from infiltrations, your rank and standing increase and the bases you can attack increase in level cap as well. The game purposefully makes it so you can't hit top-tier FOBs from the start - probably to prevent you from getting run over by those players who have everything unlocked. So just keep playing and watch for better bases in your target feed.
