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

29. Close Contact (Episode 24)

Overview: Rescue the two civilian engineers, one male, one female, being held at Ngumba Industrial Zone, SW Guard Post. The were sent to the area by a medical NGO, but subsequently went missing. Episode 24 arrives at a point where MGS V suffers a major sag in pacing: the Skulls have been gone for a while, and though you've just been introduced to Eli, there haven't been any big, important missions for some time. This mission is another straight-forward extraction, though at least this time there's two people you need to grab. Still, the base is incredibly small and can be wiped out super-fast, so you shouldn't much have trouble rinsing this one inside of just a few minutes. At a point in the game where the story missions could really have used a boost, this was just too samey and generic.
