Difficulty Select

Inspired by my recent playthrough of MGS Delta, this mod adds the missing harder difficulties to MGSV.

Instructions:

Step 1: Choose a Base Difficulty

• []GZ Hard Mode

  This mode is the same Hard Mode as found in MGSV Ground Zeroes. Nerfs Player Health / Buffs Enemy Sight and wake up times.[]TPP Extreme Mode

  This mode is a new crushing difficulty made for expert players of MGSV The Phantom Pain. Nerfs Player Health even more / Buffs Enemy Sight even more (Wake up times are the same as Hard).[]TPP European Extreme Mode

  This mode is the same difficulty as TPP Extreme, bundled with the Total Stealth Mode. Causes a Game Over upon detection

Step 2: Choose Optional Additional Difficulties (completely optional. You can also choose more than one at a time)

• []Subsistence Mode

  Allows you to go into every mission with completely nothing. On the Mission Prep Screen, you can now deselect your Primary Hip Weapon and Secondary Weapon. This was not possible in the Vanilla game.[]Total Stealth Mode

  Causes a Game Over upon detection. If you ever wanted to play European Normal Mode or European GZ Hard Mode, download this[]Max Revenge Mode

  Applies Max Revenge for every mission. In the vanilla game, only the replay missions in Chapter 2 of MGSV (Subsistence, Total Stealth, Extreme) had Revenge force set to Max. This mode ensures every mission gets Max Revenge. For those unaware, Revenge is what causes guards to be smarter, have better weapons, and wear body armor/helmets/riot gear/etc.

Step 3: Play the Game

How do the base difficulties work?

Each of these difficulties equally apply the following (these changes are also inline with vanilla Ground Zeroe's Hard Mode) 

• []-10 Camo penalty (See my old GZ Hard Mod for details on how camo works)

  []Enemy sleep time decreased from 5 minutes to 2m30s

  []Enemy death time decreased from 60 seconds to 30 seconds

  []Player health recovery rate decreased from 1000 per second to 500 per second

  []Player Health recovery cooldown timer increased from 2 seconds to 6 seconds

  Player Max Health differences

  • []Vanilla       6000

    []Hard          3000 (this is the same as vanilla Ground Zeroes Hard Mode)

    []Extreme / European Extreme  2600 (this is equal to the max health of the default guards in Phantom Pain. The idea is to make you as vulnerable as the enemy)

    Enemy Sight differences

    In meters. First number is the notice range / Second number is the alert range

    Daytime Values   Vanilla TPP    GZ Hard TPP Extreme

    Sprinting       70 / 70  70 / 70 75 / 75
