Learn how to effectively use the Cardboard Box in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. This guide covers its use for capturing soldiers and other tactical advantages.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Knock out enemy soldiers.
  2. 2
    Drag the unconscious soldier to a nearby Cardboard Box or the transport truck.
  3. 3
    Ensure the soldier is secured before they regain consciousness.
  4. 4
    After completing or aborting the mission, captured soldiers will be held in prison on the Squad Management screen.
  5. 5
    Soldiers will join your unit after a few in-game days. Having a Politician in your squad speeds up this process.
Tips
  • Rescuing captured allies immediately recruits them.
  • Unique characters have special recruitment conditions.
  • The Cardboard Box can also be used to transport soldiers back to the truck, similar to the truck itself.
  • Cyber-Survival mode allows you to recruit soldiers online, sometimes with gifts like the Stealth Camouflage, but carries the risk of losing your own soldiers.
