New information about animals in MGSV: The Phantom Pain
Kojima shared some new information about the animals in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain during Kojima Station. In the latest episode, Kojima looked back at the various animals that have appeared in earlier games in the series. Then, they talked a bit about the animals in The Phantom Pain, some of which we have already seen in trailers.
The animals will attack both you and your enemies. Kojima said he was checking the game recently, when a Soviet soldier was attacked and eaten by a wild animal. “When asked if animals will attack each other, Kojima nodded and smiled.” (translated by JunkerHQ). So you’ll need to be careful not only for soldiers, but for wildlife as well. But, you may also be able to use them to your advantage. “Kojima also said you can use the animal capture system to get them to attack enemies for you.” (JunkerHQ). It sounds like you may be able to drop them near an enemy to cause some mayhem.
The day/night cycle also has an effect on the animal system, the time of day will probably determine what wildlife you’ll run into.
Yet another element to play around with in the game, from the looks of it. Aside from using them to build you zoo, of course.

snake eater reloaded. nice.
Yeah, I was gonna say.
“…when a Soviet soldier was attacked and eaten by a wild animal.”
Eaten?? Nice! Wonder how far the gore will go.
The game gets better wich each news.
If this supersedes Snake Eater’s echelon of magnificence, I’ll contribute to vouching for Kojima’s eternal contract of divinity. 🙂
Yea, gonna save all animals. Zoo in MB haha.
not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well that’s a given. It’s pretty obvious that MGSV will be our very own Zoo Tycoon Simulator. I liked how throwing captured animals at enemies worked in MGS3, I hope they improve on that. Now, back to fantasizing about my battalion of animals. MWAHAHAHA!!!
lmao…..i setting free an entire army of lions on the final boss
I can see it now.
Someone tries to invade my motherbase, and is then doesn’t make it 20 feet before being trampled by a parade of scared elephants.
Try that again, will you? I didn’t think so. 🙂
Yeah! Far Cry 4 who??
I guarantee that if we have a The End-like sniper fight against Quiet, she’d better run because she will have a fracking squad of eyepatched ostriches sticked to her ass.
Oh my… need to be careful of them lions, while sneaking around enemy base. I wonder how many different types of animals there will be :). I want MB full of pigs lol ;D and will train them into War Piggys.
Big Boss: “We’ll train piggys to become killing machines…take them into battle with us”.

Awesome xD. “I’m still going to kill a lot of people”, that will happen for sure >;).

4k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snickers :D?
Lol 😀 yeah that was the one.
95% of my mother base will now be animals
Hope we can throw snakes at humans as well or destroy their food storage and poison them while their hungry ^^
Kojima said he was checking the game recently, when a Soviet soldier was attacked and eaten by a wild animal.
holy shit! mind blown! be crazy to watch as that unfolds instead of animals just chewing them a few times and then leaving their body to rot like in other games.
Awesome news. I hope they bring back things like the poison dart frog to poison boss or soldiers. I can’t wait til I own this and take a week or so off work to have a metal gear soliday.
Is a week enough ;)? More like one month off work XD !
Okey well maybe not that much… ;D
Hmm a some kind of thing for ground zeros is happening
The PC Footage promised, i guess.
Oh boy oh boy
Step right up kids and come see the amazing Diamond Zoo standing in the middle of the ocean on an offshore oil platform xD!
