Your guide to M27: Root Cause in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn how to rescue the Intel Unit member and stop the epidemic.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start near an enemy camp. Head straight for it to find the prisoner. There's a hidden timer, but it's not because the prisoner will die.
- 2If you brought D-Dog, he'll mark the prisoner, who is trying to escape towards a truck. He's in bad shape and won't make it far.
- 3The prisoner will eventually crash the truck, causing an explosion that alerts more enemies.
- 4You have two main options here: either go directly to the prisoner at the initial camp and stop him before he takes off in the truck, or let him crash and then go after him. The latter means dealing with fewer enemies initially.
- 5Once you've secured the prisoner, you'll need to get him to an extraction point. You can either call in a helicopter or make your way out of the hot zone on foot.
Tips
- Bringing D-Dog can help you locate the prisoner more easily as he'll be marked.
- Be prepared for reinforcements after the truck crashes, as this will significantly increase enemy presence.
- Decide whether to intercept the prisoner early or deal with the aftermath of the crash based on how many enemies you want to face.
