[INTERACTIVE MAP] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2026 UPDATED)

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain splits its open world across two massive maps, Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire border region in Central Africa, and buries 126 collectibles across them alongside 50 main missions and 157 Side Ops. The interactive map covers both regions with filters for 27 Blueprints, 21 Invoices (12 in Afghanistan, 9 in Africa), 20 Key Items, 47 Wild Animals (capturable species for Mother Base's Animal Conservation Platform), 11 Memento Photos, Music Cassette Tapes, Rough Diamonds, guard posts, outposts, bases, landing zones, mission start points, Side Ops markers, prisoner locations, specialist soldier spawns, and key facilities like OKB Zero, Da Smasei Laman, Nova Braga Airport, Mfinda Oilfield, and Lufwa Valley. Invoices double as fast travel points once collected, Music Tapes play from radios you can hear as you get close, and Memento Photos are earned by extracting the 10 Wandering Mother Base Soldiers then visiting Paz on the Medical Platform. We update this guide whenever new filters get added.

CURRENT FILTERS:

• Collectibles (Diamonds, Cassette Tape, etc.)
  
• Items (Materials, Medicinal Plants, etc.)
  
• Locations (Outpost, Guard Post, etc.)
  
• Other (Landing Zone, etc.)
  
• More!

• Two open world regions: Afghanistan (Soviet-occupied Kabul Province) and the Angola-Zaire border in Central Africa, plus Mother Base as a separate visitable location.

• 126 total across five types: 47 Wild Animals, 27 Blueprints, 21 Invoices, 20 Key Items, and 11 Memento Photos.

• There are 21 Invoices (12 in Afghanistan, 9 in Africa) found at specific locations across both maps, and collecting one unlocks it as a fast travel point you can warp to from the iDroid's map screen.

• Music Tapes are scattered across both maps playing from radios at guard posts, outposts, and villages. You'll hear 80s tracks like "Take on Me" at Yakho Oboo Outpost or "The Final Countdown" inside a building in Qarya Sakhra Ee, and walking up to the radio gives you a prompt to grab the tape.

• Complete Side Ops 51 through 60 (the Extract the Wandering Mother Base Soldiers missions) to earn the first 10 photos, then visit Paz on the Medical Platform and show them to her one at a time using the Phantom Cigar to skip wait periods. The 11th photo appears on the wall outside her room after you've shown all 10.

• There are 47 capturable animal species across both maps that you Fulton extract to your Animal Conservation Platform on Mother Base. Some require specific Cassette Tapes to approach without scaring them off, like the Bird tape that prevents birds from flying away when you get close.

• 50 main missions (including repeat "Extreme," "Total Stealth," and "Subsistence" variants in Chapter 2) and 157 Side Ops ranging from prisoner extractions and highly-skilled soldier captures to blueprint recoveries, wandering soldier rescues, and mine clearing tasks.

• Nothing is permanently missable. Both open world maps stay fully accessible after the story, all Side Ops can be completed at any time, and collectibles persist in their locations until you grab them.
