Make a guard cry....... [Guard post captured] heroism +30 [Feels -1000000]

[@vladnuke]

Varda Vittore 😢makes me want to yank the controller away from OP, tranq the other guards and fulton the dying dude to MB for some bandages and beans. I dont think ive ever seen this, but knowing this interaction exists... mad props to Kojima and his team, they put a lot of heart into this game

[@saverofthehumens]

He was slapping nothing as the other guy just walks away like nothing Unintentionally goddamn comedic

[@tone210texas]

In combat, some cry for the dead, and some dont. Depends how close their battle buddy was. =/ the realities of war.

My first time playing the Angolan Border missions I was so surprised to hear my first language Afrikaans being spoken. a really, really "Afrikaaner Boer" version of it though. I showed it off to my friends, they were all equally impressed. Us being from Namibia...

[@williamhaumaha7385]

question did you ignore the Afrikaans interpreter since it is your first language or did you get him anyway

[@youtubeFellow421]

+William Haumaha I had to get him because Miller on the Intel Coms kept reminding me I had to get him before I understand anything they say. Sometimes I just lay in wait with the binoculars and listen to random chatter from the guards standing around. It mindblowing for me to see so much effort put into this game especially it being a Japanese Developer who made the game. Maybe in given times more and more light is gonna shine on us around here in movies, music ect...the various media you know.

[@williamhaumaha7385]

Yea if it weren't a necessity would you play the game without him

[@youtubeFellow421]

+William Haumaha Hell yeah...

[@williamhaumaha7385]

Vernon Fellow Samuels haha that would be cool hearing your first language in a video game Its not the same for English since its too common to be surprised when you heard it

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

Using bodies of water to shock multiple guards is brilliant. People who said this game is boring and repetitive clearly went into every mission just crawling and tranquilizing enemies without exploring other ways to complete objectives. This game is brilliant when you use and discover different approaches and tactics.

[@lukecovey8406]

Shooting down the supply drop was certainly faster... That is, until you include the time it'll take to climb the cliff to pick it all up.

[@Xandros999]

+Luke Covey I'm pretty sure you can't get up there.

[@koalaotter5790]

+Xandros999 you can

[@royaltinman7240]

everytime i shoot the supplys they go away :(

[@ayaandanish]

Call a supply drop exactly where you're standing and use the phantom cigar the drop will speed up and hit you which will stop the phantom cigar

[@enzonegroni6941]

Luke Covey also it takes longer for items to drop

[@roland2690]

MGSV is the only game that will make you regret wounding or killing enemy guards.

basically all mgs's are like that

You thought making a book stand was godly but summoning a bolt of lightning from the sky wasn't?

[@PootVidHere]

Wow, drowning and electrocution by electric poles or electric rivers. The devs really thought of everything.

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

The water thing has been there since 4

Which was about 4 games ago haha

[@sleepy-sheepy6517]

I've used cqc on skulls so many times, that was my entire strategy for the archaic Metallica mission but I'm far from a pro

Yep. Quicktime and the lay into them with a machine gun

I used CQC and my Macht 37

Simple, that was a diamond horse's poop, poop trained in CQC vehicle annihilation by big boss himself.

[@BrainbusterLeckie]

I quit by number 8, you have a low bar for what constitutes as "Godly" tbh man, this is some basic stuff right here.

[@Zinc_Nitrogen]

I mean I throw bodies all the time at people. I don't have to ,I mean I have a pistol combined with reflex mode what more does it take?

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

Why are bodies dissapearing haha. They never do for me. Even if I leave and come back

[@edepot]

+Mike Rodriguez Do you play on PC? Video has the PS4 version.

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

I play on ps4

[@edepot]

That is interesting. I think dead (as opposed to stunned or sleeping) bodies disappear depending on some logic in the game. Perhaps there is a maximum number of NPC that causes it (like too many flying birds or animals).

[@psychoticdaizyproductions569]

That makes the most sense. Yeah

[@lordskrothus]

+edepot im play in ps3 in i can be 50 bodies and none disapear

[@jaylcujo48]

Those last three make me feel like this game is too good to be true

[@albertcadgame8314]

I like the idea of using Electric pole (using environment object as gameplay) to shock enemy

[@Mik0rzz]

speedy extraction, when calling the chopper on your location, quickly use the phantom cigar and put it away, instant chopper :D

[@RetroKane]

works for supply drops as well, just stand under the landing zone and smoke up :P

[@stinkymetalhead200]

or upgrade the helicopter equipment

[@HoboFilmMaker]

I like your mgs vids. Keep it up! :)

[@kotoroi]

I Bought 2 FOBs WithOUT any Money.. Thats DOUBLE GODLY!!

[@png.unavailable]

HO BOY I CANT WAIT TO PULL OFF “MAKE A GUARD DROWN HIMSELF”!

[@gop4825]

I love this channel because it helps me find the best weapons to use when infiltrating a FOB same as where to go for the easiest path.

[@Shadowsnake1001]

yet another great video brah. keep it up plz!

[@demoliman]

my best moment was attaching C4 to a car and ramming it into the nearby APC. This game is so fun when you realize all the ways you could finish a mission

[@deathless3518]

Some of these godly moves are hilarious. The one where he shot the parachute of the supply drop and they landed slowly by the cliffside unreachable from where he was.

[@gamingsergeant6632]

On fob missions you can throw a guard (in the the same way as you throw a guard out the window) off the railing no matter the height to the water you can kill a guard without losing heroism points

[@MRnofail]

alternatively, you can use the dog bark over and over to get a mass of guards out of place chasing the dog

[@normanlandstruck3985]

#9 Does this really fall faster? or does it just stop the forward movement?

[@nagasakisickworld]

edepot is now one of my favorite channels and your tips really help

[@darrintuckerjr4075]

Number 4 is the funniest and number 1 is my favorite. I also learned some new things from your video. Thanks.

[@gold_spin1639]

Who else found out about drowning guards on accident. I left a whole bunch of guards held up like that in a river and then came back after grabbing some stuff because I thought there might have been one that was worth taking and they were all dead.

[@Mana-bn9qg]

First one omg so godly lol good vid dough

[@III_SNIPE_III]

1:15 That's why I play this game all non-lethal.

[@geronimosantos7668]

Actually with number 3 the guards were probably in range of the stun arm, it cover a good area it self.

[@gop4825]

That's what I thought until the second demonstration where he looks around and you can see the arm looking at the ground

[@boredsailor4011]

no, it needs to be full charged to effect that much and snake screams when he does that

[@Lucas-wj8kl]

Do tanks do a 360 when they see D-Horse's poop?

[@sga5399]

No lmaoo

[@Rachetmasta09]

omg, the little sound effect of beaning a guard in the head with a magazine has me in stitches every time I hear it.

[@dgrundman7499]

You didn't show how to get that FOB money, what's this daily bonus thing? I don't play online (I'm sure u can figure out why), is that 'MG money' only available when you play online? I get no daily bonuses currently, I'm on mission 21 & all my bases are maxed out. That reminds me, you would now this, what level can you get research up to with only A+ or plain S level recruits? What max would those get u?

[@Ian12507]

How is that you did get that color of the Mother Base?

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

Do one just about CQC because you can do some pretty cool things with it. have D-dog shock someone and you grab someone at the same time, throw people into other guards to knock them unconscious, when guards are in two's, grab the back one and quickly aim with the tranq pistol the noise should make the other turn around and headshot.

[@edepot]

Electrocuting guards in water? heh, I rarely even used the shock arm, I never even bothered with it. hmmm, I wonder........

[@RetroKane]

+Michael Wellman Really? Fully upgrade the stun arm and try its full charge attack. You're in for a bad ass surprise that the uploader seemed to have missed

[@MrLimo217]

+Kane Agreed, fully upgraded stun arm= Zeus mode= God mode :D

[@JackHole10000]

What I mean is that when I can get a new PS4, I'm gonna try that on 'you-know-who' during mission 'you-know-when'

[@michaelflores2717]

+Michael Wellman Good idea, make sure you set him up for it though. Kuwabara... Kuwabara.

[@RetroKane]

Because of course a Russian man would use a Japanese prayer chant in an attempt to thwart off exactly what killed him. What a tweest!! I'm gonna miss this series. Lol

[@goodelucky]

What button do you press to throw people?

[@dinolandra]

I did #5 before. Didn't realize it would happen lol. I tranq'd a dude in some water and he fell face down and died after a little while.

[@Claude-Eckel]

7:30 Speedy drop supply? Really? :)) lol I think, the best bet is to level up your support team as soon and as much as you can to speed up supply drops. But I like those videos of yours. Though after 300 hours ingame I know a thing or two about it myself, but one cannot know enough anyhow, at least your tips are still inspiring to try out something new. Keep up the good job and keep trying! The more you find out for us the less we gotta experiment ourselves. ;)

[@Ghosty_1809]

Once i did the number 15 occasionally by punching a soldier, its funny. Because they dont care and even when you hit them they say to you, "thanks for that boss"

[@retroarmpits]

How do you get the animals to eat guards?

What does it take to stun a guard with an empty magazine? I swear, I tried that on one guy, threw like 5 of those that hit him on the head but didn't get KO. Instead the buster spotted me :/

[@edepot]

It must be done when reflex mode is on (when everything is slow mo)

[@FALG31]

edepot Thanks again man If it weren't for you, I'd never gotten past the Honey Bee mission.

[@alvinchan7746]

I made a un arc perfectly stand straight on its barrel with no supporting structures. XD

[@CT-nb5lm]

the falling on rails is essential when you've been in/out mother base over 50 times getting soldiers raised morale..--My favorite is listening to the guards SPAZ when you took out everyone..He starts screaming at his command post via radio. :D *** another fav is mastering the Force-pull prostetic arm.(I forget name) but this is hands down the only reason I even use snake...trying to get a million +rep. I'm @ 775k ugh. slow grind. whatevs, it's fun...

[@vc180191]

Doubt this needs to be explained but jut in case, number #17 is meant to be combined with Wait/Stay. Make D Dog stay put, and he acts as an automatic head turner for all situations when you order him to bark. Then again, nothing that can't be done with an empty magazine clip.....seriously, you can get through most of the game using those alone due to how broken they are as distraction tactics.

[@yopeepthestyle8308]

vc180191 why broken? empty magazines and knocks have been their archetype mechanics since 98. did you play the former mgs?

[@vc180191]

Could you immediately knock out enemy troops with the empty magazine in the old game? If you aim one at the exclamation mark over their heads when they see you and hit it with an empty clip, they immediately get knocked out.

[@MatrixMiles17]

You can make soldiers drown themselves? There goes guilty conscious when I bring them to the river next time, I didn't kill them, the river did.
