Speedrun in 5-10 Minutes – Stealth / No Kills / S-Rank

Overview

This guide shows you how to complete the main mission of MGSV in about 10 minutes and less with high ranks.

ATTENTION: MUST READ!!!

The images in this guide got corrupted because of some strange trouble Steam had with my Screenshot files. I’ll work on a solution as soon as possible.

OVERVIEW

It is suggested to do this Speedrun if you have at least finished the main mission 1-2 times, since the prints here require some reckon’ of those areas.

Some notes before steppin’ in the guide:

• You can avoid using Reflex (Slow-Motion camera). It depends on your aim. Not using reflex will get you more points to score a S-Rank.
• You can use lethal weapons (Guns with a red tag on them). The guide focuses in a clean way to finish the job, but you can use those weapons. You’ll get at least an A-Rank.
• You can use the “vanilla weapons”. No need to use other weapons than those 2 you began with.
• You can restart using checkpoints, but doing it will decrease your final score. You’ll get at least an A-Rank.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Skip the Cutscenes and call the Chopper!

Right after the game starts, skip that cutscene. Cutscenes count towards the time you take to finish the mission.

After skipping the cutscene, press the menu button (The iDroid) and call the chopper to the suggested area (when you found Chico for the first time).
This is the area the game recomends you to call the helicopter once you find Chico. To not waste time, call the chopper right after you start the game.

PS: I recomend you do use the Lethal weapon (primary) if you don’t want to get in drouble at far-mid distances, since the rifle is pretty well accurate. If you are about the NO KILLS, the suppressed non-lethal pistol is the way to go.

SECOND: Stick to the Right!

Ok, you’ve call the chopper and equipped your weapon. Now, once the guy in the big light turns around, SPRINT (yes, sprint, no fear to do that) and climb that rock elevation and keep sprinting, until you go down.

The rock I’ve mentioned is right in front of you. Keep going!

Ok, once you’ve done all the steps, you crouch at the FIRST BUSH you see. You can crouch on the bush ahead and ignore some, but I recomend you do to it in this way to avoid contact with another guy with a big light.

He’ll move the light to the left, once he do it sprint your way on the right until you find another bush.

Ok this part is important: Once you pass that guy in the light, CROUCH in the next bush. Otherwise he’ll noticed you plus: There is a jeep coming in that road, crouching will avoid contact with them.

Jeep getting near Snake.

THIRD: Going in the way to get Chico out

After we avoid that guy on the light and in the jeep, we can keep going where we can turn in to the right of the street.

A little wall/house-thing (dunno the name) will block the field of view of ONE ENEMY that is walking around in that area. My suggestion? Take him out with your lethal or non-lethal weapon

. If you get in his field of view, the “Spotted Slow-Mo Mode” will be active and you can EASILY get a headshot.

OK, now be CAUTIOUS, because sprinting might get you in trouble. An enemy far away can hear you so I recomend crouching once again. You can take 2 ways: Go in the left to flank him, or in the right to face him and take him down. The second options suits better if you got the lethal-weapon (or the non-lethal if your aim is good)

Here is a screenshot at mid-range of the enemy. →
This approach I’ve done in the second way I told you using a lethal-weapon.

By the time you make it to the area where Chico is, the chopper will probably be ready for you. So pick that lock and get to chico. Once the things in the HUD disappear (Ammo amount) you can press “select” and SKIP THAT SCENE!

FOURTH: Running with a kid on your back

Well this is pretty easy. After you pick the lock and carry Chico on your back, you can SPRINT your way to the chopper in an easy way. But there’ll be 3 guards that you should notice

← This one is on the right after you open the gate with Chico on your back.

These 2 will come, you can AVOID them even → when you sprint where I am walking right now, but if you want to take them down, feel free to do it. The Screen Shot doesn’t show the 2 very well, but they are on the left, ok?

I’ve told you the chopper was ready by the time we get to Chico!

FIFTH: The long way “Rushing Stealth”. Be ready to do it. – PART 1

You’ve traded Chico (lol) and now you must get to Paz. Go on the right sprinting while hearing the iDroid.

The area in front of you is being guarded by those 2 guards we talked about. You can still avoid them, to do it go to the right once again.

← You’ll drop in front of a truck with 2 enemies. The one around the truck won’t notice you

The other, however, can notice you, but nothing to worry about, you can take him down. →

After taking that guy out, go on the right and keep sprinting with no fear. There’ll be an enemy and you’ll get closer to thim, nothing to worry about again, just headshot that dude.

“Whats up, bro?”

Ok, you took him down and now you must move foward. On the right there’ll be a house where you can PRONE. Then prone and go to the right (while in prone). You’ll find an “open sewer”

The open sewer, go inside it and go prone again. Enter the sewer til the end of it.

It’ll continue in the next section.

FIFTH: The Long-way “Rushing Stealth”. – PART 2

Ok, you have reach the end of that wannabe-sewer (I really don’t know the name in englis, its not my native language). Anyway: Get up and crouch, there’ll be a guard behind you, he can notice you if aren’t “fast enough” to get out and crouch, but you can take him down as well, he is at a close range.

(Ok I know I’m standing still, but the guard wasn’t there while I was printing those steps).

Anyway again: Move foward, on the right there’ll be a door. Go to that door and you’ll enter a region where you have to face 1 guard and 1 camera. I haven’t “screenshoted” this because you all must know what Im talking about.

After you deal with the camera, go on the left (For the first time in forever (8) but be careful, there are 2 guards downstairs, you can take both out.

After that, keep moving foward and on the right, before pick-locking that pick, call the chopper to THIS REGION ON THE MAP (PS: Its not the same we did with Chico!)

SIXTH: Running with Peace (Paz in english, got it? Got it? hehe…. Ok…)

So lets see what we’ve done: We’ve called the chopper and we’ll pick the lock where Paz is. The game will enter in a CUTSCENE so be sure to skip it!

Once the cutscene is over, Snake’ll pick up Paz.

Go back where we came from (literally), but be careful, there’ll be a guard around the bodies you killed or put to sleep, be sure to deal with him.

← The enemy will check the bodies, if they are killed that guy will call more guards to help him, if they are sleeping, he’ll wake them up.

Remember the area we took out a camera and one guard? A new guard’ll be there by the door, he’s a tricky one so go easy to take him out.

– He can spot you at med-long ranges, so be careful –

After that, in front of you there’ll be a way between a truck and a container I think, go between them and go to the RIGHT (again!)

Take the left in front of you →

← After some time you’ll see that there is no way in, so turn to the LEFT and keep going.

By the end of that way, there will be 2 guards. One will probably spot you, the other won’t, so take the one that saw you first and use the Slow-Mo time to take the second guard.
