Konami has unveiled the data transfer details of MGS5

Through an infographic, Konami has revealed the details concerning data transfer between Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Players will be limited in regard to which platforms that they can transfer data between, but the data that they transfer will grant them exclusive features.

How do you capture soldiers in Ground Zeroes?

Or did I read that wrong?

didn't even know you could capture them, i just rescued some of the prisoners.

You saw that too, right?

I was like...wait what??

@mr_huggles_dog: You can capture soldiers by rendering them unconscious and carrying them or placing them onto the chopper. They will then appear on your Mother Base in The Phantom Pain, where you can attempt to persuade them to join you. There is an MGSV app that tracks the number of people that a player has taken off the base (anyone can be taken, even assassination targets).

@emil_fontz: Ohhhhhhh......well....time to play more Ground Zeroes then, lol.

Thanks for the info.

You're welcome.

I'm planning on playing through Ground Zeroes tomorrow morning and would have had no idea I could capture the enemy soldiers. Thanks guys! ^_^

"Thanks guys"? I and I alone provided the info. :p

You guys didn't know you could capture enemy soldiers? That's like the only way to get all the cassette tapes in the game!

@emil_fontz: I just assumed your account is used by multiple people. You know, cause that's normal. :p

THANK YOU, EMIL FONTZ! :P

@Zassimick:

You're welcome. :)

Wow, time for me to dust off my GZ copy! Thanks for the tip man!

@Shewgenja:

Dust off? How long's it been since you've played? LOL.

I went HAM on it for a little over a week. Been pretty back logged and grinding in FFXIV to prepare for the expansion.

Yeah, I had an obsession with GZ. I actually captured every soldier on base one time, turned it into a ghost town lol.

Glaz and Palitz are the most obvious ones of course, I'm thinking they'll be good for the combat team. But I'm also thinking that in the classified intel mission, picking up the guy you're supposed to rendezvous with AND picking up the bald guy who carries the real tape will get you some good intel guys.

I'm thinking those are the only soldiers that will really mean much, but I took the whole base just in case. Then of course you have all the different POWs in the different missions, including the "hidden" ones like the guy in Paz' cell during the destroy AA mission and the one that's in the muddy corner of the left side camp in the GZ mission. I'm guessing those two will be intel guys as well.

Kind of sucks though, I did everything you could possibly do on the PS4 version, S-ranked every mission on both difficulties, found every item, every tape, extracted every NPC... but now I'm buying the main game on PC. And while I do own the PC version of GZ, I sure as hell don't feel like getting that thorough with the game again.

I once cleared as many soldiers as I could without being caught; I wound up snatching about twenty of them.

Great information, Time to load the chopper up. Is there a limit to how many people you can put on at once?

What?

What!?????

Is this stuff in all versions? I don't remember any of that.

Nope, no limits bruh. Oddly enough you can even load up dead bodies lol. Though I don't believe they'll register on your stats.

Haha, jk man. Ok so yeah, you know how in the intel acquisition mission you get that one scrambled tape from the tower and mission complete? Turns out there is a bald white guy walking around the base with the real tape. I usually find him patrolling in front of the admin building. Hold him up or chokehold and interrogate, he'll drop the real tape.

As for those two POWs. At the start of the GZ mission, make your way to the camp on the left. In the back corner he'll be hidden in a small makeshift structure. This one is time sensitive, the guards will execute him so it's best to do this first thing.

During the destroy AA mission, make your way to Paz' cell. It's best to do this before destroying your targets. Cool thing is, this guy spills some interesting info about what's going on at the base and talks about his torture experience at the hands of Skullface. Kind of a bad ass moment too cause he's all like "I didn't talk boss, they didn't break me"... makes Big Boss seem like he's the damn Godfather haha.

I hope they don't start off MGSV with a bunch of dead bodies surrounding mother base....

Ha, that'd be some shit. It is Kojima though, you never know.

Yeah, clearing them out without being seen is most definitely the way to go. Tedious of course, but still the best option.

I did manage to extract some of the attack team soldiers as well, the guys in the vests that come for back up. Just took on the whole base in a gun fight and wasted them until no more would respawn, then captured the scraps. Wonder if those will be any better than the regular patrols?

@ConanTheStoner:

Thanks man, I'll give it a try tonight! :)

@I_Even_Lift:

Not sure if joking, but none of the cassette tapes are acquired by capturing enemy soldiers. Actually the only reward you net in Ground Zeroes for capturing enemy soldiers is the Depth achievement/trophy for extracting Glaz and Palitz.

oh, this is just spam for TC's youtube channel

Flagged

@ConanTheStoner:

I've never thought of capturing members of the attack team. Sounds like a good idea.

@lostrib:

At least he was helpful with his promotion by giving people info they never knew, but hey, go ahead and keep being a complete asshole.

@Xaero_Gravity: you're right, it was wrong of me to be an ass to a user who jokes about throwing women into "Rapeland" and brags about torturing animals.

I remember when you left Gamespot in a desperate cry for attention and now you've come back yet again seeking more attention for your Youtube channel?

I'm thinking about flagging for advertising.

@lostrib:

That's fucked up, my apologies then. Although I still think you're an asshole. ;)

Right?!! That is great!

Oh Hai BRHD, didn't knew you were interested in PP as well, my most anticipated title of 2015. Ty for the info :)

Nope, and here's why. You used a video when a few lines of text would have worked just as well, if not better. Black text on a blue field may look cool, but it's annoying to try to read, particularly when in front of of a video with more black.
