Metal Gear Solid V: 11 Hidden Secrets You Totally Missed

3. You Don't Need Ground Zeroes To Recruit Hideo Kojima

The former Konami developer managed to escape the confines of his dastardly employers long enough to get snatched up by Sony in 2015, but he also makes an appearance in Phantom Pain. Now, there are two ways to obtain Kojima on your staff; the first of which used to be by rescuing him in Ground Zeroes before downloading your save into MGS V. However, if you get stuck into the healthy list of Side-Ops, number 112 sees you rescuing an 'Intel Operative' who turns out to be Kojima himself. Sadly, unlike all the other soldiers you extract, Hideo isn't playable, but his S rank in Intel should boost that section considerably over time. Let's just hope Konami don't patch him out or replace his picture with a question mark.
