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

28. A Hero's Way (Episode 3)

Overview: Eliminate the Spetsnaz detachment commander secretly involved in the scorched earth operation in Afghanistan. The target and his recon unit have occupied Shago Village and are ready to meet an assault. Here's where things get a little bit better. This mission isn't at all difficult, though it's a good example of the different approaches a player can take to getting through them. For one, you can just scan the outpost, pull out your sniper rifle, cap the commander in the head and get out of there in less than a minute, or you can dismantle the entire outpost and Fulton everyone in sight. Coming so early in the game, it's a great mission to get you accustomed to the freedom the game presents: go in for a bare-bones assault or, if you like, start filling up Mother Base with as many soldiers as possible.
