Metal Gear Online Animal Ranking FAQ



Thanks to information found at a (*)Japanese wiki site, searching various 
forums and study of player stats that have earned the ranks the following 
requirements have been found and confirmed for the special titles. The ranks 
in order from highest rank to lowest.
Note that FoxHound through Pigeon are considered "Soldier" ranks while 
Tarantula through Chicken are "Special" ranks outside of the ranking scheme. 
A huge thanks goes out to ReversedKnight for translation of the Japanese wiki.
