S++ Staff?!

Hey guys!
I finished the phantom pain about two weeks ago, completion is now 63% and heroism about 310k.

Since i can already develop everything (and i did so), i dont need to get better staff. But i wonder that i dont see any Soldiers better than S-ranked. I have not seen a single S++ or even S+ guy in the game. The only ones that i saw, were the ones everyone gets for completing those main missions.

Infiltrating FOBs aint not what i like, so is there any reason to still get better staff? Any hidden weapons/camos besides Raiden and the Stealth-item (the recharging one)? And does anyone know the requirements for getting S++ enemies?

Greetings,
chucky_strike

Things fall apart, the center cannot hold
Check the tread "dummies guide to FOB". In the last page I gave some explanations, won't resolve everything, but meh, that could help
I have been completely unable to maintain any semblance of relationship on any level
I have been a bastard to the people who have actively attempted to deliver me from peril
I have been acutely undeserving of the ear that listen up and lip that kissed me on the temple
I have been accustomed to a stubborn disposition that admits it wish it's history disassembled
I have been a hypocrite in sermonizing tolerance while skimming for a ministry to pretzel
I have been unfairly resentful of those I wish that acted different when the bidding was essential
I have been a terrible communicator prone to isolation over sympathy for devils
I have been my own worst enemy since the very genesis of rebels

I've seen a couple s+ guys from replaying missions, but nothing better than that. And by a couple, I mean no more than like 5 or 6 total. I do only have ~630k heroism right now, so maybe around a million, million five things start to change.

So if you want s++ staff, yeah, FOB seems like the only realistic way to do it.

I think I have picked up a couple from regular missions-side opps...it is most definitely worth the effort to scope EVERYONE hey. :thumb:
Last night I found one with great credentials but instead of the usual yellow bars, this guys were orange???
Any clues on this, is he extremely rare? :blush:

I started to find S + soldiers after I reached 140k heroism, just use the analyser on every soldier you see and you'll find legendary soldiers eventually

Yep,just scope the fuck out of any patrolling soldier/guard you come across with your int. binoculars(fully upgraded to pick up S++ soldiers) and you're bound to find some.

What platform are you playing this in? In PC you can get S++ staff easily with a mod.

Sadly, that is only a one time thing for initial players.

Can anyone confirm, ideally with a screenshot, that it's possible to find S+ and S++ soldiers in the open world once you've got enough highly ranked soldiers on your base?

m8, how did you get that much heroism? I started repeating mission 3 because theres no faster way i know to do so. But i didnt know the missions gmp-rewards are getting lower and lower every time you succeed a mission. So i did it again and again until i had no more gmp, the mission only grants 30 gmp for me now.
Im Playing on PlayStation, so no mods or hacks available though ;)

Edit.: Can you link the post you mentioned? I couldnt find it :-/

I got 820k heroism (but am about to lose 50k due to nuke development) and I never found a soldier with a higher skill than S in the field.

All my S++ staff were volunteers after completing mission 46, got one for each unit. I'm pretty sure you can also level S+ staff up to S++ by playing as them instead of Snake, but should probably test this.

Just by playing normally, I've never tried to grind for it, but I am going for S rank and all mission objectives for everything. Obviously it's not as much as @ Ivanovicn, but they hand out so much of it just for missions and side ops I wouldn't worry about it.

--Oh, and combat deployment as well, I always have my teams out racking up that heroism while I sit around dismissing troublemakers in the iDroid--

I'll try to take a screenshot next time I find an S+ in game, but I've only seen a couple and I usually int-scope EVERYONE.

I am also going to replay missions as recruits to see if they can level up.

Successfully infiltrating high level FOBs will get you S+ and S++ soldiers.

I've noticed that if you get to the core completely undetected with no alerts that you tend to get better soldiers.
