Metal Gear Solid 5 Update Adds This Ridiculous Cat-Themed Headgear
What a time to be alive.
Cats do whatever they want, whenever they want. That includes going to battle, at least in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. A new update for the game's multiplayer mode, Metal Gear Online, will add new cat-themed headgear, including the Ricky Cat Hat for 300 MB Coins. Check it out below, via MGOLeague.
"Your cat demanded to join you on the battlefield," reads its official description.
This isn't the first zany headgear to come to Metal Gear Online. In October, Konami released a "fishy business" cap that featured a sharp-toothed fish you could wear around the battlefield.
Konami has also announced that a significant update is coming to Metal Gear Online later this month, though a specific release date was not announced. Included in the patch are new weapons, including some Grade 8 guns, as well as new security devices for the FOB mode.
Patch notes are below, but note that Konami says these are non-final and subject to change. You can also check out this detailed post to see some of the new features and items coming to MGO in November.
