Footprints of Phantoms Walkthrough MGSV: The Phantom Pain

Footprints of Phantoms is fifteenth main mission in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. In this mission, your main objective is to either destroy or extract the 4 Walker Gears located within the village. The enemy encampment in the village itself has the advantage of being on higher ground, with the surrounding area being devoid of trees and other tall cover. Thanks to this open area, a sniper would come in handy, thus your buddy choice for this mission should be Quiet.

Note: In order to start the mission you should go to the Medical Platform and complete the side ops mission “Visit Quiet”. By completing this task you’ll get a new buddy and the mission that perfectly suits her.
