What to do after 100% Completion
By R!SK
After you complete the entire game 100% and you don't want to delete your save file because you invested so much on the game, what's left to do? Even if it's nothing compared to the 100%, I'll tell you stuff to help you prolong your MGSV: TPP experience if, of course, you wish to. Most of the stuff (95%) on this guide won't require 100% completion to get it.

This guide will be updated regularly. Feel free to discuss with manners to help improve the guide. This guide will also be moderated so if there are deleted comments it's because it had nothing to do with the guide. Thank you.

7. Replay The Single Player Campaign Using Restricted Gear
Why replay the single player using restricted gear using restrict gear? Well, it's because It's awesome and there's a separated leaderboard from the official one for you to fill using restricted gear as you play.

8. The Secret Nuclear Disarmament Event
There is another important secret in Metal Gear Solid V: a hidden event that can only be unlocked when very specific conditions are fulfilled.

1. You must have completed Mission 31.
2. You must not own or be currently developing a nuclear weapon. If you have any nukes in stock, you must dismantle them.
3. Certain conditions related to nuclear proliferation must be met on the regional server for your corresponding gaming platform (PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox One, Xbox 360®, PC(Steam®)).
4. All nuclear weapons on the regional server corresponding to your console or platform must have been dismantled. In other words, the amount of nukes on your platform's server must be equal to 0. *

* If all four conditions are met, you will automatically trigger the secret nuclear disarmament event when you return to Mother Base or after you complete a main mission. Should new nukes be developed after conditions 3 and 4 have been fulfilled, this event can be repeated by fulfilling all four conditions again.

"Fulton Recovery Device (Sheep)" is missing from the list of front emblems. It can be found on the central deck of the animal conservation platform, I imagine after fultoning a sheep.

Great guide!

Personally, I started playing around more with mods. I know that I'm a whole 2 years late, but the COVID thing is making me look back at old games. I suggest using an ultra-hard mod, or list of mods to make the game overall more difficult.

Are you going to be doing the exact same Guide once Death Stranding comes out ;)?

One thing is the possibility of creating a mod. Sure, every game can be thinker with. Other thing is this game has actually good, diverse and functioning mods. That was my point.
Geek_Haven 19 Jan, 2018 @ 11:47pm 
Well most of PC games have some kind of mods. Whenever they are big or small,whenever they can be installed properly or you have to extract certain files into certain places/change certain setting in game cfg files. Most of PC games have been modded.

Geek_Haven 19 Jan, 2018 @ 5:32pm 
I am sorry but. DUUHH . 99% of pc games have mods)))And even tons of console games have mods. If people can tinker with the game and tweak it. They WILL do it.
