Learn how to perform the Back Grab in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. This guide covers the necessary steps and conditions to successfully capture enemies.
Walkthrough
- 1Knock out an enemy soldier using non-lethal methods (e.g., CQC, tranquilizer).
- 2Immediately drag the unconscious soldier towards your designated transport point (the truck or a cardboard box).
- 3Ensure the soldier is fully inside the transport before they wake up.
- 4After completing or aborting the mission, the captured soldier will be in the prison on the Squad Management screen.
- 5Soldiers will join your unit automatically after a period of time. This process is expedited if you have a soldier with the 'Politician' career in your active squad.
Tips
- Rescuing a captured ally during a mission will result in them joining your unit immediately.
- Unique characters can be recruited, but they often have specific conditions that must be met.
- Certain characters, like Jonathan, Para-Medic, Python, Raikov, Sigint, Sokolov, Eva, Venus, Teliko, and Gene (EU version), join immediately upon capture or rescue.
- Soldiers can also be recruited via AP Scan, passwords (though generally not recommended except for specific cases like the GAKO soldier or Zero if you lack the Digital Graphic Novel), or voluntarily through Cyber-Survival mode.
- Having a soldier with the 'Politician' career in any unit speeds up the recruitment of prisoners.
