Best option is to invade high level bases and pull their S++ staff from lottery.

Another option is to build a nuke and lure all the S+ volunteers you get from other players. Most players are going to use their high level Snakes, so there is a good chance that you will get an S+ volunteer from winning. Personally for me. I have not been able to get an S++ from defending. Only gotten S+ volunteers.

Im at 1.5 mil in heroism and the pool of random free roam soldiers are still just S rank.

Btw, one good way to get S ranks with stat-boost. Do the Codetalker mission, don't kill skulls. Then just extract teh zombie S ranks, you can get like +20-30 S ranks each time and they allways get a service medals for being zombies, so they get a small boost in their stats.

Just need to put codetalker down and collect all the zombies near the road going up then go down with CT, avoid the snipers by going around waterfall then just collect the rest of the zombie soldiers you want from the forest.

For me the fact that you find S++ Soldiers and S+ Soldiers so late AFTER having finished the game and having done lots of stuff only shows how unfinished the game is and how much was actually planned.

I mean think about it. It makes sense to assume that if Ch. 2 was longer and maybe there had been a Ch. 3 that all the development projects and the S+ / S++ ranked staff would have come more naturally to you in the late game and less through grinding after the game is mostly finished and through FOB.

Lol that's some extremely filmsy evidence. Peace Walker had high ranks that you won't really get to use much in the campaign but that doesn't mean its incomplete. They're rare for a reason.

Getting S+ and S++ members are a pain, it's quite stupid in all honesty how rare they are, played many many FOB's only got about 5 S+ and 1 S++.

That and Fob's in it's current state is unbalanced.

Summary: The only S++ staffguys you can get are those everyone gets while playing campaign. Also by doin FOB infiltration (considered someone is dumb enough to pick his S++ guys from campaign into their Security staff so you can fulton them).

Back to my first post - is there any reason to go for those S++ guys? Will it unlock some developments by raising the development-team to lvl 150+ by them? Or is it just for prestige in online-mode? :3

Finishing the main missions do give a few S++ members, but this is a one time deal.You cant farm the main campaign for these soldiers. After that, your only source of high ranking S+ soldiers is FOB invasions and defense.

Currently S+ and S++ can only be stolen from FOBS or come as a FOB volunteer reward.

Its good get high ranking staff for the PF mock battles. Who doesnt want to be on top of the weekly leaderboard. :)

My heroism points are at 278k but I'm only 16% done with the game. All I get are A+, and a very rare A++ soldier. My staff are all low 40's, and only have Medical left to upgrade to 4/4.

I'm pretty sure you need to get a higher percentage level completed before you get the S++ or S+ soldiers. The rumor is, you need to be 55% done with game and have at least 100k in heroism before an S rank shows up.

I've gotten a few S+ soldiers in the field but have never seen any S++ ones,only from main mission.
I dunno if heroism has anything to do with acquiring S+/S++ soldiers?. :hmm:

These S+ soldiers were acquired awhile ago,so no can do with the screenshots.
If I do come across another,I do a screen capture of it and post it here.
But yeah,they're there in my staff roster.

I'm at 1.144m Heroism (PSN), the only way to get S+ / S++ is FOB defense or attack and default ones you get through the story... I have never once found one in open world nor got one from end of mission rewards for a replay.
Some people may think you can get S+ from other ways but that's not true, your S guy can get a medal when you first get them and that can push their stat to S+ but they'll never be S+ to start.

Sadly boosted S rankers are not true S+ or S++. I hear alot of players saying they get S++ staff from campaign, but those are one time deals. I have heard of mods on PC, but that just screws up the leaderboard. Konami doesnt condone that I believe.
