Note from the author:

This isn’t related to this mod (at all), but there's something happening in the world that's become increasingly important to me in the past two years. I want to use my mods as a platform to share that topic. Unfortunately I can't voice it on NexusMods, because it might go against flimsy and easily weaponizable policy guidelines relating to sociopolitical issues. So I have to vaguely gesture to it instead. Here's a song recommendation.

Anyways, back to videogame mods.

Morbid's Side-Op Expansion Pack

For Infinite Heaven

This DLC-sized mod adds 50 new side-missions to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This is made possible by Infinite Heaven, which is required in order to play these new Side-Ops!

These new Side-Ops offer many unique features, including:

  • []Several hours of new content. If each mission takes ~10 minutes to complete, that's more than 8 hours of new Side-Ops!

    []Challenge. The mission difficulty ranges from moderate to intense, depending on your playstyle. Hostages aren't marked with interrogations, so the player will need to try new tactics.

    []Variation. These missions offer a wider variety of objectives than the vanilla Side-Ops. Prisoner Elimination, Weapon Retrieval and Vehicle Sabotage, for example.

    []Optional targets. Almost every Side-Op contains at least one optional prisoner that the player can seek out and extract.

    []Rare Skills. Targets will often have skills that were only obtainable in Main Missions, offering an alternate approach to leveling Mother Base.

    []Estrogen. Many of the missions will give you the opportunity to recruit female soldiers to your army.

    []Unique Enemy Patrols. Although route files can't be created or modified yet, vanilla patrols have been rearranged to create completely new scenarios!

    []On-Site Procurement. Each location has helpful equipment carefully placed within the outpost.

    []Mission-Specific Obstacles.  By disabling certain landing zones and placing static objects, easy infiltration routes are made less viable.

    []Flavor text. Each Side-Op has a unique name and story tied to it. None of this "Prisoner Extraction 16" business.
