Metal Gear Solid V: Ranking The Missions From Worst To Best

15. Metallic Archaea (Episode 29)

Overview: Fight off the Skulls' assault, and return to base with Code Talker. An unusual mist has blanketed the area. The Skulls must be eliminated before it will clear. This is the final time you'll have to fight the Skulls in MGS V, and thankfully it's also one of the best and easiest battles against them. If you want an easy time, all you need to do is run up the ladder of the nearby building and fire rockets and/or grenades ad nauseum until they're dead, while also directing Quiet to snipe them. You can also use D-Walker to melt them if you so wish, and whatever your strategy, as long as you keep your assault away from Code Talker, this one's surprisingly stress-free. There's not a whole lot to it in the end and it can be a pretty simple blast-a-thon if you allow it, but that satisfying feeling of never having to deal with them again is undeniable.
