Learn how to recruit allies, manage your Sneaking Unit, and utilize skills and radar effectively in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops with this comprehensive walkthrough.
Walkthrough
- 1Knock out enemy soldiers.
- 2Drag them to the truck or a cardboard box before they regain consciousness.
- 3After completing or aborting the mission, captured soldiers will be in prison on the Squad Management screen.
- 4Soldiers will join your unit after a few days; this process is accelerated by having a Politician in your squad.
- 5Rescued captured soldiers, Unique Characters (with special conditions), soldiers recruited via AP Scan, passwords (like GAKO or Zero), or Cyber-Survival will join immediately or under specific circumstances.
Tips
- Soldiers have different careers (e.g., Athlete, Scout, Engineer, Politician) that provide various effects and bonuses to specific units (Infiltration, Intelligence, Technical, Medical, or ANY UNIT for Politician).
- Cyber-Survival mode allows you to send your units online via WLAN for different rules and potential rewards, including new recruits or gifts like the Stealth Camouflage, but carries the risk of losing your soldiers.
- Carefully consider which soldiers to send into Cyber-Survival, as losses can occur.
- Unique Characters like Jonathan, Para-Medic, Python, Raikov, Sigint, Sokolov, Eva, Venus, Teliko, and Gene (EU version) join immediately under specific conditions.
