Discover what comes after the credits in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn about Chapter 2 missions, including Subsistence, Extreme, and Total Stealth variants, and how they change gameplay.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the credits, you will notice that Mission 31 was only the first chapter of the game.
  2. 2
    A new chapter of missions awaits you, featuring repeat missions with specific rulesets.
Tips
  • The three rulesets for repeat missions are Subsistence, Extreme, and Total Stealth, indicated in the mission title.
  • All variants make the Chicken Hat and Reflex Mode unavailable.
  • Extreme variants increase enemy damage output.
  • Total Stealth variants result in automatic mission failure if enemies are alerted (red alert), sending you back to the previous checkpoint.
  • Subsistence variants require you to start with no weapons or items, and you cannot bring your Buddy or call for support (supply drops or support fire). You must find all equipment from enemy soldiers, likely without suppressors or other non-lethal options.
