Metal Gear Solid 5 Update Has Arrived

A new update has dropped, suddenly, for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, and the major takeaway from the update is that it lets you play as Quiet in FOB missions.

Per the patch notes:

“You can play as Quiet to infiltrate FOBs. You cannot change her uniform or head options. She is an expert with a sniper rifle, and her steady hands let her take her shots with minimal shaking. Quiet’s movement speed is extremely fast and allows for unique jumping abilities over high steps where a player would usually need a ladder. She can close in on enemies quickly with her special dash, while remaining still for a certain amount of time will make her stealthy. ”

“Look forward to the addition of new development items designed to aid in your missions. Below, we take a look at just a few of the new items. All of these are Online Development items, meaning their development continues even when you are away from your game system or PC. You can also use earned MB Coins to shorten the development time.”

“Earn more event points from the the new “Event FOB [HARD]”! In “Event FOB” missions, there is no risk of retaliation (no defending player will invade your base later as revenge), so you can steal materials and abduct staff without fear of repercussions.”

A number of new weapons have been added to, which are outlined, in detail, in the official patch notes posted on their website.
