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

13. Pitch Dark (Episode 13)

Overview: Crude oil is leaking from an oilfield facility occupied by local forces. To stop the leak, shut down the facility's oil transfer pump, and use explosives to destroy the oily water separator tank. This mission's mainly memorable because it signals the game's shift to Africa, and it certainly kicks off with a bang. Once you've scoped out the oil facility, you can have plenty of fun terrifying the guards there by firing a rocket directly into the separator tank. Maybe send in Pequod to start lighting up the guards, all while you can casually sneak into the facility, turn off the oil transfer pump and cheese it out of there like a ghost in the night. It's a terrifically entertaining introduction to the Africa portion of the game, and cements Snake's bada**ery regardless of your approach.
