help Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain FAQ

Why does Snake have a robotic arm in The Phantom Pain?

After falling into a coma following the events of the Ground Zeroes prologue, the protagonist loses his left arm. He awakens nine years later in 1984 equipped with a highly advanced, customizable bionic prosthetic known as the "Bionic Arm" to aid him in combat.

Who developed Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain?

The game was developed by Kojima Productions and directed by the legendary game creator Hideo Kojima. It is notable for being the final Metal Gear game Kojima worked on before his highly publicized split from publisher Konami.

Is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain an open-world game?

Yes, unlike previous linear entries in the stealth series, The Phantom Pain features massive open-world environments set in Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire border region. Players can approach enemy bases from any angle using vehicles, horses, and a variety of tactical gear.

Does Metal Gear Solid V ever explain the 'Phantom' plot twist?

Yes, the game's "Truth" mission reveals a massive twist: the playable character is actually a medic known as Venom Snake, not the legendary Big Boss. This explains why he doesn't look exactly like his Ground Zeroes counterpart and serves as a decoy to protect the real Big Boss.
