Did anyone else think it looks like Venom is holding the NES Duckhunt gun?
This update kicks ass :).
Since I haven’t played in a while. Can I use these weapons in normal missions as well?
Of course.
Thanks!
Can’t see the grade 9 weapons anywhere. And you know the cost to use them will be ridiculous. Which is a shame since having the wormhole in single player would shake up the way you can play missions a great deal.
That wormhole sounds so cool but I know I’ll never grind long enough to buy it honestly
Saving up to cop that rose camo, just need to do a few more perfect stealth event FOB runs.
Also I can’t see the point of adding an entirely new anti-materiel rifle. What benefit does the Molotok 68 have over a fully upgraded Brennan, for example?
because people get tired using only one weapon. i say: bring it on!
There’s no difference from a functionality standpoint, though. That’s what I was wondering.
Yeah, yeah, all nice indeed, but i want to play MGO3 in Steam already… How much i must to wait, damn?
1 month
believe me: ubwill be disappointed.
it’s almost January and we still haven’t got any word from Konami
Wish I had time to play, but I’ve been busy with work. Whenever I have a day off, my roommate has control of the television.
Wish they allow every equipment to be upgraded. I really want Ground Zeroes Sneaking Suit to be Level 9 :
Maybe in the future patch??
At least now is level 6 and 7. I think.
I can see it coming… Weapons level 15 with 1 million need of fuel to use it.
it will take 30 days for the weapon to develop as well. haha
Hopefully the next update they will give us that bike belongs to bigboss at the prologue.
To upgrade weapons up to 9, at some point you have to buy some DLC, right? I see the additional levels but they’re not unlockable.
The requirements are so high that people will need more FOB to develop it, and FOB only comes with $$$$
Figured it’d be something like that. I’ve kept it offline by never accepting the TOS, the highest normal levels are good enough for me.
I think you did good since the only reason to have high tier equipment would be to defend your base against other players, if you don’t have a FOB you don’t need it.
Heh, thanks! Yeah those no huge need for them normally (though unlimited suppressor is worthwhile), but it was just something to spend GMP on.
so in the Freedom Of Oppression event ive traded in event points for the fleck and pink camos, the gun camos, the base color, and all that, but I don’t see nameplates anywhere, someone please help me out? I have no clue how to get them. they aren’t even In my event point exchange list.
same problem here.
Where are those weapons didn’t see anywhere
