Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Nuclear Disarmament scene unlocked on Steam, no Chapter 3 title screen

In a very surprising turn of events, nuclear disarmament has been unlocked on Steam, although users are not entirely sure how this happened as it seems that there were still nukes present on the server (although the PC version did see a sharp decline in its numbers recently). In any case, the long awaited cutscene (which was already datamined years ago) has been unlocked, but there seems to be no sign of the ‘Chapter 3: Peace’ title card that was also discovered in the code.

For now the scene only seems to be unlocked for the PC version of the game, as multiple people on Steam and Reddit have reported.

The nuclear disarmement event is a special cutscene unlocked when all nuclear weapons on a specific platform’s server are dismantled. For the past 2,5 years, numbers have been going up and down on all platforms, but not one of them reached zero. Curiously enough the numbers on Steam were still in the thousands last week, when the latest statistics were released. It seems like Konami has made some adjustments that triggered the scene, but what exactly is happening is not clear at this point.

You can watch the full scene here:

We have reached out to Konami for clarification, and they are currently looking into it.

Update (February 4): Konami has confirmed that the nuke count hadn’t reached zero yet and they will look into the matter.

Update (February 13): The event was triggered because the servers were sent incorrect values.

  • I think it has to do with some bug… There is no way that PC version should be unlocked compared to Xbox One version or even PS4 version.

      Konami probably triggered the event manually by removing all the nuke at once.

        This, they are giving you new MGO3 shit for playing SurviVe as well, this is a strategy to get people playing MGSV again

    Interesting that there’s still seems to be one piece of the puzzle missing, aside the chapter3 card

    In the datamined ending, there wass this section in the Medical Bay of MB with Kaz and Venom talking about some ruptured nuke that leaked rads to some staff members

    That scene is not in the recorded ending we are getting now from the steam players.

    • Yeah, which is very strange tbh. Was that datamined ending actually the only one or the user who did it just put multiple videos of it?

      There are still some secrets this game have though.

        Since the whole Kojima-Konami and the “chapter 51” thing, i bet that somewhere along the way they have patched it out. After all they did say that TPP is a finished game, leaving that stuff in, would be asking for more angry fans.

          You have to wonder, though… I mean, obviously unfinished/unused assets end up in modern games all the time. It’s nothing new to find a bunch of prototype assets in a game’s files. But considering how nasty the Kojima/Konami split got, not to mention how specific some of the information is, I half-suspect that some of it was left in intentionally be disgruntled KojiPro employees. Wouldn’t surprise me, in any event.

        Maybe there’s a separate requeriment for that particular bit of the ending?

        It makes me believe it has to do with the player dismantling a nuke (probably one stolen from other player) just by the bcontext of the dialogue

        The video I saw before probably didn’t had the player complete that tiny task, I’m sure it’s a common cause as well, since I never got to dismantle a stolen nuke, they always got them back from me after the FOB raid, and dismantling your own nuke should be easy as hell for it to count.

          “the player dismantling a nuke”
          Makes sense to me seeing how the cutscene is very focused on the player having taken a nuke from somewhere and then trying to disarm it or whatever.

          Reply
    • Haha, maybe after the count reaches 999.999.999, it goes to 0?

        • So there are so many nukes it exceeded the maximum. Either people have been cheating again or something went wrong at Konami’s side.

            There was that huge dip of about 500 nukes a day on Steam, it might have something to do with it too.

            Not sure, but a hack /attack of such would be quite surprising.
            I think they probably invalidated whole account(s), because this huge number for steam has always been suspect since years now compare to the other plats..

          • dude man

            Been playing this since it came out on PC, and let me tell you I gave up trying to disarm all the nukes a long time ago when I noticed that cheaters had more than reasonably possible on their FOBs.

          to be pedantic, this is an integer overflow, not a stack overflow

            This integer should not be signed at all btw..
            I think this 32 bit int was unsigned because there is no point in having a negative number of nukes.
            So the range if 32bits should be 0 – 4 294 967 295 (2^32)
            Maybe it was even just a 16bits unsigned one (max 2^16 = 65535).. ;D

          Signed int32 allows that but unsigned allows twice more.

    Hahaha, 2 options :

    – Either the most ridiculously ridiculous bug of all the possible reunited multiverses xD

    – Either all those remaining war-heads were invalidated by Konami. Maybe those 7.5K nukes were illegally collected and belonging to only one account xD

    In both cases : xD

    Reply
    • There is a third option.

      Big Boss himself infiltrated Konami’s IT department and did the whole work.

        “Boss, the mission is simple. Infiltrate Konami HQ and retrieve all the nukes in the AI Pod. This is a sneaking solo mission, so don’t expect any reiforcements. Avoid detection from Konami forces and you’ll be home in time for dinner”

        Correct, for more details, it is actually Sigint that remotely conducted the attack, but he indeed needed Snake to access physically at least one terminal and manually inoculate the exploit in the Konami’s GW main-frame.

            Correct – らりるれろ !!!!
            It’s The Patriots !!… Cipher…
            Some were even told that Ocelot himself was also involved regarding logistics / tools for Big Boss to get through Konami’s anti-zombie fences..
            Mmmmh.. So Zero is probably behind all this operation..

      Cynical option; Konami did it to drum up interest in MGS again as Survive’s release date approaches.

    could this be the last nail in the coffin to bury Kojima’s MGSV. First be done with nuke tracking, then server shutdowns then pushing Survive marketing. LOL

    Or maybe what everyone’s been saying.

    Theory: Most likely not gonna happen, but i would love Jordan to do something Insane with the Big Boss Casting in the MGS Movie, Cast both Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem as Big Boss and Venom Snake, and reveal only the Big Boss casting for the Press Tour, and when you watch the Movie if you pay close attention on a second vewing, and BOOM, you figure out when the Switch Happens, when Solid Snake (My casting Jake Gyllenhaal) actually fights and kills Venom instead of Big Boss.

    Hell, reveal both by creating a “Recast, but couldn’t reshoot all the scenes” BS News Story to further enforce the Deception before the reveal.

  • Konami just confirmed via Twitter that the nuke count hadn’t reached zero yet when the event was triggered, so it looks like it was indeed unintentional (see the tweets at the bottom of the article).

        So the answer is easy:

        The Patriots won, you’ll have a better chance to unlock this cutsecene building a buttload of nukes than stealing and dismantling one! Get to it console players!

        • So on PS4 that means 2.147.481.705 more nukes. Going to be a lot of demon points.

  • Skeptic

    My first thought was this was because of Metal Gear Survive coming out this month. Seems a very strange coincidence, I’m surprised I don’t see other comments speculating such.

    This scene was content that was NEVER going to be seen with the rules they had in place, so before the next game launches, show it as a completion of the MGSV era, now on to MG Survive.
