In Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, is there a way to avoid or not do the [EXTREME] missions? I did all of those up until Metallic Archaea.
Best Answer
You need to do the extreme missions, however, I found out that there are ways you can do them without being an active participant. Like in mission 31 where we have to take Sahelanthropous, i hid behind cover in a valley where he couldn't see me at all and order bombardments and air support from my i-droid. I hope i was of some help without spoiling it for you. This is the best part of the game that it stays true to the idea that you can choose anyway to approach the mission.

Why do you have to replay missions in mgs5?
Because the game is incomplete, eventually you'll get to a real 'mission'. Probably to pad out stuff. Not really a spoiler, but you defeat the "main" villain 13 missions before the end. 8 of those 13 are repeats.How many main missions are there in mgs5?
