Learn about D-Horse's equipment in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, including Battle Dress and Furicorn upgrades, their requirements, and how to unlock them.
Alright, let's talk about D-Horse, your trusty steed in Metal Gear Solid V. While he's not exactly a 'buddy' in the same way as Quiet or D-Dog, D-Horse can still be upgraded to be more useful. The main way to do this is through his equipment, which you'll unlock and develop back at Mother Base. Think of it like customizing your favorite weapon, but for your horse!
Here's a breakdown of the equipment you can get for D-Horse:
| Name | Rank | Item/Skill Req. | Unit Level Req. |
| Battle Dress | 2 | 50K GMP | R&D (5) |
| Battle Dress | 3 | 150K GMP, Electrospinning Specialist | R&D (15), Combat (15) |
| Battle Dress | 4 | 350K GMP, Materials Engineer | R&D (29), Combat (29) |
| Furicorn | 4 | 410K GMP, Man on Fire (Corpse) | R&D (35) |
How to Unlock and Develop:
- To get these upgrades, you'll need to develop them at Mother Base. This requires specific Unit Levels for your R&D and Combat teams, as well as a good chunk of GMP (that's your in-game currency).
- For the higher ranks of the Battle Dress, you'll also need to have certain specialists assigned to your teams. Keep an eye on those requirements!
- The 'Furicorn' upgrade is a bit more unique, requiring you to have encountered the 'Man on Fire' and collected his corpse. That's a memorable mission, right?
Tips for D-Horse Equipment
- Focus on developing the R&D and Combat Units first, as they're crucial for unlocking most of these upgrades.
- Don't neglect your GMP income; you'll need a lot of it to fund these developments. Running more side-ops and missions is the best way to keep the funds flowing.
- The Battle Dress upgrades will likely improve D-Horse's survivability or perhaps his speed or stamina, making him a more reliable mount in the field.
- The Furicorn sounds pretty special – keep an eye out for that one if you want D-Horse to look extra unique!
