MGSV- S Rank Farm, secret to finding S rank staff

FAQ:
-before asking any questions about the mist dissappearing, meet up with code talker first then ask whats up.
-As stated in the annotations, do not kill the last skull, for some reason on this level when you extract soldiers they DO NOT get their service medal that increases their stats so DONT KILL THE LAST SKULL.
- In another Annotation i also said that even if you it the cap you can still extract code talker on land yet im told the same thing every time even tho that has been pointed out.
-How did i get unlimited silencer without the infinity bandana?
I deselected it from my weapon wheel thats why its greyed out, its sounds suppressed but thats because its the riot smg. its still shooting really loud.
Continuation video: For some reason killing all skulls and extracting soldiers doesnt give them the medal only on Code Talker, heres the vid

I found a little trick to help with this one. Scan the puppets just so you know if they are close to A++ or higher, stun them and kill the others to avoid hitting the cap and screwing yourself. No need to worry about the Demon points from the kills as the puppets count as saved people so you'll basically keep yourself in a balanced place. And if you kill too many and you are becoming a Demon replay Mission 25 and fulton all the kids you'll go right back to good snake and earn loads of Heroism.

Recently completed Code Talker again after beating the game. :) I did as you said and everything went just as you had said. :) Unfortunately I think Konami may have patched the upper limit on how many puppets that are available with no respawn.

I am very happy that I have increased my levels so I will repeat it again after work. :) Many thanks for all your helpful advice. :)

If you get to Hero rank, you can also farm S Rank soldiers to S+ rank with the affinity system. It's also a good idea to take any S+ rank soldiers and run them in the field for a few easy missions to get them a second medal.

[@RJrockstars]

WRONG about the "being fucked" thing! I ran into this too, BUT you CAN extract Code Talker past the limit by exfiltrating him out of the hot zone. The only fuckup you can do is dying or having code talker die lol.

[@fillipemerrel]

+RJrockstars Ya, I did that running in the direction of that broken bridge in the souht of the forest, if you have the raiden suit, it's actually pretty fast. I can't see any chance in killing Code Talker that way, unless you got the left one skull sniper; just shoot her down, cause you are already overloaded with soldiers and dont want more puppets.

[@normanlandstruck3985]

Fantastic video. I had a fantastic first run where I got 60 S-class staff, my second run I only got 5. My base/staff level is only 350 which probably made it a bit inconsistant. I imagine when I creep my staff level up more it will be a lot more consistant. Best farm method by far from what I've seen.

[@GAMEPRO24X]

def do FOB events as you can obtain 100 S rank staff very fast from justa few runs.

[@normanlandstruck3985]

@@GAMEPRO24X oh nice. I'll do that too. I also just tested now, you can run the Code Talker to the heli and throw him in first before you run back and farm all the juicy staff, then you don't have to worry about the cap.

I know I’m kinda late to the party but a little trick once you hit the cap of 99 fultons. You can just run to the edge of the hot zone and it will complete the mission. Neat so you dont need to count every fulton.

[@aaroncha6377]

When you sneak past the Skulls, pick up Code Talker and end up with puppet soldiers, would eliminating the remaining Skulls also be another affective way to knock out puppet soldiers or should I extract all the soldiers first?

[@faciality]

Call a helicopter for pick up and drop Code Talker in and go fulton the soldiers. The chopper will stay there. Kaz wont bug u anymore.

[@soapy12331]

Is there a checkpoint I can trigger somewhere in this area? I spent about 20 minutes Fultoning soldiers, then I died and had to restart at the point where you first made contact with Code Talker.

Great guide! Maybe now I'll finally be able to get that top tier Brennan Sniper Rifle I've been drooling over for ages now. :) Assuming the problem with not being able to extract Code Talker after hitting the cap hasn't been patched by now, could you just put him in the chopper as soon as you meet up with him and then go back and start grabbing soldiers? That way, once you hit the cap you could just call in the chopper again to get yourself out or leave the mission area on foot. Just a thought. I haven't done this mission in a while though so you might be required to leave with CT as soon as you put him on the helicopter. Can't remember.

Are the enemies on combat alert? I'm asking since you didn't use silencer. I've tried to do this on Traitors' Caravan but failed miserably. Sniper Skulls don't pursue you like regular ones do?

[@GAMEPRO24X]

I wouldn't exactly say their in a combat status because all of the puppets don't target you unless you get close and if it was that way you'd be getting a scene straight out of the walking dead surrounding the mansion lol.

[@Nozomu564]

Nevermind, I did some more tests and it turns out it's not possible to farm Traitors' Caravan in that way. I've managed to extract 5 soldiers at most before they found me. Somehow Armor Skulls can detect you over improbable distances and regardless of any obstacles. At first I though I wasn't careful enough and some stray soldier found me. Looks like I will have to stop fooling around and do more missions before I can easily fill my MB with A++'s and S's.

[@o8fishboy233]
