XOF patches | Side Ops and Extra Ops MGS V: Ground Zeroes Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Every one of the patches is located somewhere in the area of the main mission. Remember that the game doesn't save after collecting a patch, so if you die or load the game afterwards, you will have to collect it one more time. You gain the achievement "Insignia" when every patch is found.

Patch #1

The first XOF patch is located behind a rock, right behind you when you start the mission.

Patch #2

You will find the second one in the refugee camp (jus behind the fence and the road), lying on a pile of rubbish. On your map, it is the end of the road.

Patch #3

Make your way to the end of a row of barracks, where you will find a generator surrounded by a fence.

The third XOF patch will be lying on the generator.

Patch #4

The fourth patch is hidden in the ventilation shaft near the crates, behind the heliport near the southern wall of the base. It's a little bit difficult to notice.

Patch #5

The next patch is located on a guardhouse near the prison.

Patch #6

The sixth patch lies in the grass, right behind the gate to the prison. It's virtually impossible not to spot it.

Patch #7

You have to have some free space in the area outside the base to locate the next patch. It is lying in the middle, between the heliports, a few yards to the south from the flag and the generator.

Patch #8

The eighth patch may cause you a little trouble. It is located in the eastern wing of the base, on the top of a small building opposite the stairs. To make it to the roof, you have to climb on the generator and go near the edge. Then, a sequence of keys will pop up, which will allow you to jump to the edge of the roof. Jump over and climb up. The patch will be lying on the ventilator.

Patch #9

The last patch can be collected in any time and in any place. It is attached to our character's outfit. You have to crawl and activate the sight in your weapon and then make a quick turn in whatever direction. You have to roll on the floor for about 5-10 seconds, until you activate a cut-scene. The patch will be lying next to Snake.
