Mission 2: Diamond Dogs

RUNNING MOTHER BASE

- This 'mission' is kind of an oddball. You're basically following some instructions so your learning curve goes up. Talk to Ocelot and follow his instructions.

- Instead of taking out the first guard with a tranquilizer round, knock him out by strangling him and save a round. Whenever you 'extract' personnel they'll be assigned to a team that fits their skills and abilities best. Under Staff Management on your iDroid you can find where the guy went.

- Go do Weapons/Items under Development on your iDroid. Development on a Cardboard Box can only be started when you've extracted enough personnel to R&D.

- Extrac[Subsistence] two more people and develop the Cardboard Box. After this, practice Close Quarters Combat (CQC) by approaching Ocelot again. Grab the frst guard, and repeatedly punch a second to knock him out in alternative fashion. Enemies thrown on the ground don't stay stunned very long, so it's not the preferred way for take-outs. Extract both guys.

- You can optionally take a shower to clean off any blood, sweat and dirt (or tears) from the previous mission. Simply enter the blue box on the floor you're already on (check your map). You can also scan your personnel after calling the chopper to the helipad.

- When you're all set - and you are, at this point - enter the helicopter and prepare for the next few missions.

- TIP: You can select a rather useful HELP screen when you're accessing your iDroid, by simply pressing the pause button when already inside The iDroid. (Select for Playstation, Back Button for Xbox).

- You can select any mission you want. We'll start doing them in order for this guide.
