Unlock Quiet's powerful gear like the Wicked Butterfly and Sinful Butterfly, and her unique costumes including Sniper Wolf and Gray XOF in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Alright, let's talk about Quiet, one of your most useful buddies in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. She's a sniper, and man, can she lay down covering fire. But to get the most out of her, you'll want to upgrade her gear and unlock her special costumes. It's not just about looks, some of these upgrades seriously boost her effectiveness.
Here's the breakdown of what you need to get your hands on:
Quiet Equipment
| Name | Rank | Item/Skill Req. | Unit Level Req. |
| Wicked Butterfly | 4 | 500K GMP, Bond 60+ | R&D (18), Intel (15) |
| Guilty Butterfly | 3 | 286K GMP, Golden Crescent (60), Digitalis Purpurea (10), Bond 20+ | R&D (15), Medical (15) |
| Guilty Butterfly | 5 | 750K GMP, Bond 80+ | R&D (22), Intel (18) |
| Sinful Butterfly | 4 | 490K GMP, BRENNAN LRS-46 Blueprint, Bond 40+ | R&D (20) |
Getting these Butterfly variants means investing some serious GMP and meeting specific Bond levels with Quiet. Plus, you'll need certain Mother Base unit levels, especially in R&D and Intel. The higher the rank, the more GMP and higher unit levels you'll need, but the better the weapon will be.
Quiet Costumes
| Name | Rank | Item/Skill Req. | Unit Level Req. |
| Naked (Blood) | 3 | 186K GMP, Bond 30+ | R&D (15) |
| Naked (Silver Q) | 4 | 350K GMP, Bond 70+ | R&D (19) |
| Naked (Gold Q) | 5 | 570K GMP, Bond 100 | R&D (22) |
| Sniper Wolf | 4 | 450K GMP, Handkerchief Key Item | R&D (23) |
| Gray XOF | 5 | 670K GMP, Quiet’s Examination Report Key Item | R&D (25) |
Her costumes are pretty cool, and some require specific Key Items you'll find during missions. The 'Sniper Wolf' and 'Gray XOF' outfits are particularly notable, requiring you to have progressed through the game enough to get those special items. Remember, unlocking these often means you've also developed your Mother Base units to a decent level, so keep that grind going!
Focus on upgrading her gear first, especially if you're struggling with long-range engagements. The higher-ranked Butterflies will make her a much more reliable partner in the field.
