Mission 27 - Root Cause | Walkthrough MGS V: TPP Guide
Last update: 14 April 2017
General information about the mission
The twenty-seventh mission in Metal Gear Solid V is one of the shortest in the game. Completing all the objectives will take you only a few minutes. It is good to play this mission fast and stick to the plan (more details in the walkthrough), which will allow you to reach the Intel Team Member before he starts escaping in the truck and make the exfiltration more difficult.
Mission objectives
- PRIMARY (1/1): Extracted Intel Team member - this character is located in camp number 07, but later he will manage to escape and he will take a truck. You can exfiltrate him before he uses the vehicle (the best idea), catch him when he is escaping or reach him after he has an accident (the worst variant).
- SECONDARY (1/2): Extracted Intel Team member before he could have an accident - the target will crash the truck shortly after he starts escaping. You have to reach him before he gets into the truck or before the accident.
- SECONDARY (2/2): Exfiltrated the hot zone with Intel Team member by land - don't summon a helicopter at the end of the mission. Instead, use the truck or one of the jeeps near guard post number 07 to leave the mission area with the rescued target.
Mission preparation
It is not necessary to play this mission at night, but if you choose to do so, you will lower the risk of being detected when trying to exfiltrate the ally. It is good to choose D-Dog as your companion, which will help you to locate the main target. You don't have to take any unique equipment with you, because there will be only a few enemies to neutralize at the most.
