You can totally100% kill non-grabbable enemies with CQC. Just throw them, and then kick them while they're down over and over. All attacks do a tiny amount of damage, but repeated kicks are most efficient. Holding up a prone enemy in shallow water will also cause him to drown, but that's not applicable here
In mission 18 Blood runs deep, there's this easy strategy I've read online. After freeing the kids, request 2 cars, tranq the kids, place them in the car and fulton the car. This way you don't have to worry about them getting themselves killed
Tip for an easy Skullface S Rank with perfect stealth: Bring a jeep and right before the sniper at the first gate is able to see you,throw all your smokes into the back of the jeep and just drive in,enemies get caught in the smoke trail and act how they do when they're in smoke and walker gears don't have collision with vehicles so no problem there just drive straight through the final walker gear guarding the elevator.
Took about 40 hours, which is honestly not too bad! I expected it to be longer, but there's a lot of strategies that cut down on waiting and or the need for upgrades.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye it took me like 40 hours to complete the game normally, I did some missions, I always thought 40/50 hours are needed to complete the game so you actually did awesomely
@@KlyeKlyeKlye wouldn't the water pistol be valid for use in the comms destruction missions? it doesn't harm people unless they're allergic to water and it at worst gets them mildly annoyed, no more annoyed than dealing with a thrown magazine
I don't know if someone else has already said it here, but actually in C2W you can use the water pistol to trigger a shortcircuit in the comms equipment. I don't consider it weapon usage, since you are using the water pistol as a device to spark a specific physical effect that is not possible by any other means in that situation. Cheers, great video!
I have tried subsistence c2w without using any weapon for firing except for holding up enemies and grenade for destroying radar. That’s so hard AF I retried it almost hundred time. Hahaha just a painful memory.
The Man on Fire shotgun sequence isn't technically a kill so I consider it more of a useful defensive tool at the time. I would also consider the Stun Arm and Rocket Punch Arm to be tools as well since they technically aren't weapons or lethal. You could even use the Water Pistol as something fun.
I more saw this challenge as a melee only, no weaponry sort of challenge, I think I used a magazine once to get a guard to look away but for the most part it was pure CQC
@@KlyeKlyeKlye there are a few things that you could try, albeit they don't always work... Metallic Archaea... Use the Decoys to distract the skulls then hide, then either toss Sleep Gas Grenades or let Quiet do all the work with her anti material rifle. Although the problem is you have to hide and be out of sight for the alert to go away and you can't leave Code Talker behind. You could try luring them behind the building first then use a Decoy, grab Code Talker and find a safe spot to hide. Not easy but doable. Sahelanthropus... Another TH-camr did a CQC only fight where they ran at the start, dove down a cliff just right, hid, and let the chopper and Quiet do all the work, then only gave Floating Boy some sweet chin music when needed. I know you do need the chopper armor, missiles, and deploy speed maxed out though. But hiding from the Metal Gear isn't easy and the timing is brutal.
Voices: Get the Man on Fire to stand near the cliff towards the back where the Devil's House is and drive a jeep into him, knocking him into the river below. Then Mantis is a complete non-factor. That has to be one of the easiest ones to not use weapons, unless you consider a hit and run jeep a weapon.
Actually the easiest way to beat this mission without a weapon is by asking the support team to fire a rain rocket (forgot what they call it exactly) and you know what would happen next. I didn't figure this out myself, btw, I saw it somewhere.
You can also abuse the quirk with Quiet's sniping: she can't hear you until she fires her first shot. So, if you're quick enough, you can get to her and kick her once or twice to knock her out
In C2W you could actually find a claymore on the way in and throw a stunned guard inside the room. Then plant a claymore im the entrance and the guard kills himself with the radio by walking out the room. It would still count as using a weapon sure but its a more Finese uproach
You only have to extract 1 kid to finish Blood Runs Deep and on the mission Voices, you can stun Psycho Mantis by calling in a resupply on him. Just immediately call in a resupply on where the Man on Fire is after stunning him and you'll knock Mantis out.
I suppose anything can be considered a weapon but I think sticking with the water gun would have been a nice approach to that hold up situation and destroying comms. I’d even call it fair to “shoot” enemies with the water gun. I might have to download MGSV all over again lol
I know this video is 3years old but an easy way to do the mission with the kids without having to escort them is by knocking them out and directly fultoning them if you have the upgrade or call in a vehicle put the kids in there and fulton it sadly the last injured kid has to be extracted by chopper but you can always call the chopper that lands at the mine without having to go all the way down znd face guards
No, it's the Canon way because every single cutscene shows the unsilenced stock rifle, and how the hell did snake sneak through every enemy without fucking dying
4:11 you can actually skip this mission until u have crafted e water pistol, guess it dowsant count as weapon, u just throw water into things with it, it will disable comms system
@@masterbawler crap. I don't actually know. Been a long while since I touched the game. I just assumed that he replayed missions because you can redo all of them except one.
Running punch with the Blast Arm does hidden explosive damage on not just people but objects as well. You could've used that to destroy the comms equipment in C2W.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye are you 100% sure hitting it with the regular punch of the arm doesnt damage it?? I tried to do that as well, but i saw a few sparks after a direct hit to the radio. Alas, it didnt destroyed it and i couldnt hit it again after that one punch
Fun fact: if you wait long enough in the main fight against Moth Man in 'Mission 20: Voices,' it'll just start raining and you win. I think it's around ten minutes, but I'm not sure. I've never actually done it myself. I just remember seeing it on Chip Cheezum's play through.
7:48 omg I found this bug too, I wanted to call an air support of sleeping gas to tranquilize the walker gear guards but the damn thing exploded above everyone even though they were outside of the enemy outpost
I usually play the game like that but I'm pretty sure using the tranquilizer gun even to shoot at a wall to distract an enemy it takes away the no traces bonus at the end I THINK! not too sure but yeah
Yes, firing/throwing/placing any weapons count against No Traces, plus there are more conditions that count against it. The mission Root Cause has a bug where Fultoning the truck counts against No Traces; Not every mission can be completed with No Traces; there are some video guides for most missions. But most important of all, you can kick the kids to stun them in Blood Runs Deep to Fulton them and easily achieve No Traces instead of hoping their terribly implemented RNG pathing will let them pass guards without failing. Worst mission ever, to try and No Trace normally.
Total Stealth missions are if any enemy spots you, the mission is a failure. And there is no reflex mode. So, unfortunately, your strategy is going to be quite tricky with each of those missions.
The funny thing about the weapon use in C2W is that you don't even need to do C2W unless you're going for all missions complete. If you just complete missions 3 and 5, mission 4 can be ignored outright because mission 6 will become available. Alternatively, you can go to the immense pain of farming out enough soldiers in Afghanistan to develop the water pistol, and use that to destroy the radio. And uh... it's a squirt gun, so I really don't think it counts as a weapon.
Hm, anything used to cause harm can be classified as a weapon. For instance, a flower pot will be classed as a murder weapon when used to kill someone haha
@@ksu3981 Yes, but if you brought the water pistol into C2W, you wouldn't be using it to cause harm - you're using it to disable a radio without hurting anyone.
I could be mistaken, but you need to add +1 to the counter because before the two guards you're expected to shoot something to stop the approaching fire. To let the player get used to aiming before shooting something trying to kill them.
Sadly it doesn't work, it must be destroyed with an explosion or gunshot. Give it a go next time you play, there's some very strange interactions with things that look like they'd work but they don't. It may be possible with the Blast or Rocket arms but that would require being further into the game and they're weapons anyway.
Of course you can. I didn't beat the game yet but I have gone through most missions with the hidden No Traces bonus, ie you can not use R2 in any way, not even with support weapons like magazines. You can not make any physical contact with any hostiles either. In regards to your run though: You can use the Blast Arm punch to destroy communications equipment, radio dishes, etc. The Water gun can also take out most electronics. You don't actually have to shoot Sahelanthropus in the mission, the slow motion takes effect but nothing happens if you wait. The gun might have to be in overheat mode for this to work though. Traitor's Caravan is a very easy mission to do a No Traces run on. You just have to lure away the Skulls and then drive the truck out of the hotzone. Leading the kids out without using weapons or even using the R2 button is also possible, you just have to lure guards' attention away. DD's bark is useful in no traces missions in general. And the list goes on
Well you've fallen at the first hurdle since you can't get the water pistol until you save the kids in Africa and the Blast Arm isn't unlocked until you rescue the prosthetic maker, plus those are weapons. If you were to replay the missions after completing the game then you'd have access to those items but if you start a new save then they won't be available to you. Sahelanthropus also will absolutely kill you if you don't move during his slow-mo attack, Psycho Mantis appears and you're supposed to shoot him to stop the attack, if you don't he can 1 shot you unless you drop down behind cover. Don't take it so serious, it's all for fun.
For missions like C2W, assuming NG+, I would take the watergun - weather you count that as a weapon or not, it's way funnier than using a grenade or something.
Could do that post game, but this was mostly about just using CQC whenever it was possible, the water gun could also be used on the Man on Fire and could also stun regular enemies, but that would be too easy!
Good idea with the parasite armor and the tanks. I've never tried the parasite armor liks that because I didn't think it could be that strong. Usually I just shred through the skulls when they try to use it on me. I'll do the battle armor and bandanna because those usually save me from getting killed in one shot so I csn evade get back in the fight.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye If you want other tips how to walk through this game flawlesly, I suggest you to check out chanel "prenatural", easily the best stealth games player on youtube.
I wish that was the case, I was there for over 2 hours trying everything I could think of to attack that thing, you can't even kick the satellites on the roof. Very odd.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye I'm sure you could do the bionic arm punch on the comms equipment because I remember someone doing that on a no-trace playthrough and me doing it as well
@@thelocal-spider9623 You can use the "Blast" upgrade it destroy it but that would be a weapon and you need to play a fair few more missions to unlock that. If you can find a clip of someone punching the thing then I'd happily change my position on this
Seen a few people comment that, but to get the Water Pistol you need to get to Africa and do Blood Runs Deep so it's a bit too far into the game before it can be useful. If I was doing this on a sort of NG+ style (Where I just pick a mission and play it with end game gear) then you could do all sorts of creative stuff!
This may be late but in back up back down the giant fort thing has a acp in the beginning that you could have stealthed into and fultoned it out it really didn't matter since you used d horse but thats how I would do it
Still an explosive though, possibly even worse since you need to place it and then purposely press the detonator, I doubt a pacifist would say C4 is a tool 😁
@@KlyeKlyeKlye are miners and demolition companies combatants? Because they use remote explosives for blowing up stuff all the time. If you were using it as a remote mine to blow up soldiers or manned vehicles then fair enough, it's a weapon, but if you're using it to dismantle a structure then it's a tool.
@@DjDolHaus86 They aren't in a war zone 😉, you could make an argument for all sorts of things, like if I shot a wheel of a car to stop it, no harm done but a weapon was used, anything can be a weapon in the right (or wrong) hands. Ultimately, anything that isn't your fist in this game is a weapon in accordance with the game's stats.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye just trying to give you an excuse dude. If you really want to split hairs you could consider snake and all his assets weapons because they provide a means of gaining advantage in conflict. Bending the rules is the only route to success 😉
Before to watch the video: yes, the game itself... probably yes. But the bosses? Just thinking you can't even pass the first horseman on fire, without using the shotgun. No, I don't think so. At least for the ones where you have no choice. Now, let's see the video.
You said that decoys weren't used for damage. The only problem with this is that the decoys can be used as a weapon and so can the empty magazines. You just got to know how to use them right. Not to mention there are the decoys that do non-lethal damage. So yes the decoys can do non lethal damage. Also if you throw a magazine or a decoy just right like I said above you can use them as a weapon you could quite literally hit an enemy with them and not them out causing them to take non-lethal damage.
Hey so in the one where you destroy coms, it is possible to throw a soldier at the ones inside the building like you did. Its pretty much a "just trust me thing" since in my first playthrough of mgsv on the ps3, i had shot the coms enough that they didnt explode and were still active, but then threw a soldier at it, making it explode. Its completely unverifiable and me saying this is just a suggestion more than anything based on a single anecdotal event but yeah. I guess i should probsbly test it on pc because its been over a year since i played it on the ps3
I actually tried that quite recently and nothing happens sadly, it must be destroyed with something that says "DMG" on the item (or a water pistol) but anything other than that does nothing. If you can test it and get me a clip of it working then that would be great!
It’s weird that the air strike didn’t work for the gas tank in mission 13, I’ve used a strike to destroy it in the total stealth version of the mission
You wanna know a fun fact? C4 isn't considered a traditionally termed "weapon" in real life. It's a special-purpose, all-use demolition and equipment denial device.
I'd need to actually finish Witcher 3 first! But that does sound like a tough challenge, I'm guessing it would just be a "Punch everything" run, would that even be possible? I mean probably, but it would take hours just to kill certain things 😅
I will not count any occasions of harmful items used in situations where you deal no damage *enemies and characters* In short, it counts if you see red, but won't if it sparks.
I beat the man of fire at that spot.... ah shit never mind I used C4 to destroy and water tower, stunned mantis by calling in a load out on his head and then extracted him. Lol
Me:The big huge girthy……. Friend:Don’t you dare say it. Me:Say what? Friend:You know what! Me:I was gonna say missile launcher Friend:……oh Me:Oh!? What were you thinking of!? Friend:….no comment
C4 isn't actually a weapon. It is a demolition, and the Geneva convention restricts using it as a weapon. You coulda got by on this technicality in my book. Especially when you blew up the oil tanks with a grenade instead. A grenade is definitely a weapon lol.

This video came out in my recommendation........and now I'm gonna playing this game again.
As well you should! It's a fantastic game! ♥
"Already.... fission mailed" Loved it
For missions like C2W, assuming NG+, I would take the watergun - weather you count that as a weapon or not, it's way funnier than using a grenade or something.
Could do that post game, but this was mostly about just using CQC whenever it was possible, the water gun could also be used on the Man on Fire and could also stun regular enemies, but that would be too easy!
3:20 That is never going to hold up in court.
Good idea with the parasite armor and the tanks.
I've never tried the parasite armor liks that because I didn't think it could be that strong.
Usually I just shred through the skulls when they try to use it on me.
I'll do the battle armor and bandanna because those usually save me from getting killed in one shot so I csn evade get back in the fight.
It's not very strong until you get the upgrades, gotta unlock the uber-viagra so you can make it harder and last longer.
Honestly, Shining Lights is more emotionally impactful for a Big Boss who swears against using guns
As for destroying choppers, I've seen some people time fultoning vehicles to attack them. Takes a lot of work tho.
you can setup a car near the cliff at the devil's house and push the burning man off it using that car.
the stun arm for coms equipment
You don't have access to the stun arm at that point in the game as you need to get the blueprint after Quiet's fight.
In voices you can just push the man on fire into the pool with D-Walker.
I've never tried that before, I might give it a go on my next playthrough, last time I D-Walkered near him he blew me across the map.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye If you want other tips how to walk through this game flawlesly, I suggest you to check out chanel "prenatural", easily the best stealth games player on youtube.
Pretty sure you can punch that control thingy in C2W, if you run against it and then punch it. Nice video tho, I really enjoyed it
I wish that was the case, I was there for over 2 hours trying everything I could think of to attack that thing, you can't even kick the satellites on the roof. Very odd.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye I'm sure you could do the bionic arm punch on the comms equipment because I remember someone doing that on a no-trace playthrough and me doing it as well
@@KlyeKlyeKlye It was this video th-cam.com/video/PRtpjoTgxsE/w-d-xo.html
@@thelocal-spider9623 You can use the "Blast" upgrade it destroy it but that would be a weapon and you need to play a fair few more missions to unlock that. If you can find a clip of someone punching the thing then I'd happily change my position on this
@@KlyeKlyeKlye I'll check it myself, by the way, I liked the video a lot, so I don't wanna seem like a hater or anything
"You know Kaz, i dabbled in pacifism once."
for the dreaded shotgun let's just say you used blanks to spook his horse
Man I'd really love to see u do another mgs5 challenge!
Your content deserve more views bro...hope the channel gets bigger someday
On C2W you can use the water pistol to destroy the equipment!
Seen a few people comment that, but to get the Water Pistol you need to get to Africa and do Blood Runs Deep so it's a bit too far into the game before it can be useful. If I was doing this on a sort of NG+ style (Where I just pick a mission and play it with end game gear) then you could do all sorts of creative stuff!
This may be late but in back up back down the giant fort thing has a acp in the beginning that you could have stealthed into and fultoned it out it really didn't matter since you used d horse but thats how I would do it
"I'll add a .5" - that line made me laugh
Venom snakes hands are considered weapons
water gun destroy coms and some electrical
For exploding stuff you could potentially have used C4 as this could be considered a tool rather than a weapon
Still an explosive though, possibly even worse since you need to place it and then purposely press the detonator, I doubt a pacifist would say C4 is a tool 😁
@@KlyeKlyeKlye are miners and demolition companies combatants? Because they use remote explosives for blowing up stuff all the time. If you were using it as a remote mine to blow up soldiers or manned vehicles then fair enough, it's a weapon, but if you're using it to dismantle a structure then it's a tool.
@@DjDolHaus86 They aren't in a war zone 😉, you could make an argument for all sorts of things, like if I shot a wheel of a car to stop it, no harm done but a weapon was used, anything can be a weapon in the right (or wrong) hands. Ultimately, anything that isn't your fist in this game is a weapon in accordance with the game's stats.
@@KlyeKlyeKlye just trying to give you an excuse dude. If you really want to split hairs you could consider snake and all his assets weapons because they provide a means of gaining advantage in conflict. Bending the rules is the only route to success 😉
Before to watch the video:
yes, the game itself... probably yes.
But the bosses? Just thinking you can't even pass the first horseman on fire, without using the shotgun.
No, I don't think so. At least for the ones where you have no choice.
Now, let's see the video.
You said that decoys weren't used for damage. The only problem with this is that the decoys can be used as a weapon and so can the empty magazines. You just got to know how to use them right. Not to mention there are the decoys that do non-lethal damage. So yes the decoys can do non lethal damage. Also if you throw a magazine or a decoy just right like I said above you can use them as a weapon you could quite literally hit an enemy with them and not them out causing them to take non-lethal damage.
Wait, you can destroy Sahaelantropus with a sniper rifle?
Maybe the water pistol can damage electronics like generators and radios.
Desmond Doss if he was born a few years later
Hey so in the one where you destroy coms, it is possible to throw a soldier at the ones inside the building like you did. Its pretty much a "just trust me thing" since in my first playthrough of mgsv on the ps3, i had shot the coms enough that they didnt explode and were still active, but then threw a soldier at it, making it explode. Its completely unverifiable and me saying this is just a suggestion more than anything based on a single anecdotal event but yeah. I guess i should probsbly test it on pc because its been over a year since i played it on the ps3
I actually tried that quite recently and nothing happens sadly, it must be destroyed with something that says "DMG" on the item (or a water pistol) but anything other than that does nothing. If you can test it and get me a clip of it working then that would be great!
@KlyeKlyeKlye I'll try and test it out
I love your commentary!
God i love tomba 1 and 2
Blood Runs Deep is much easier if you supply drop a car, load the children on, and fulton them out.
good vid. I am MG Maniac so youtube recommended me this ^_^
It’s weird that the air strike didn’t work for the gas tank in mission 13, I’ve used a strike to destroy it in the total stealth version of the mission
You wanna know a fun fact?
C4 isn't considered a traditionally termed "weapon" in real life. It's a special-purpose, all-use demolition and equipment denial device.
witcher 3, no weapons, potions ,signs Death march enemy scaling on ;-)
I'd need to actually finish Witcher 3 first! But that does sound like a tough challenge, I'm guessing it would just be a "Punch everything" run, would that even be possible? I mean probably, but it would take hours just to kill certain things 😅
Swear the 1st time I played hell bound I used the air strike
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think you have to shoot sahelanthropus with the helicopter machine gun. It just blows up on its own
I tried that bit a few times but he always just smacks the chopper and it ends the mission.
I will not count any occasions of harmful items used in situations where you deal no damage *enemies and characters* In short, it counts if you see red, but won't if it sparks.
I beat the man of fire at that spot.... ah shit never mind I used C4 to destroy and water tower, stunned mantis by calling in a load out on his head and then extracted him. Lol
I do wish I could play every mission in subsistence mode
this isnt even basic CQC anymore, this is advanced CQC
I’ve seen someone do a running punch on c2w for the comms equipment never pulled it off myself
Me:The big huge girthy…….
Friend:Don’t you dare say it.
Me:Say what?
Friend:You know what!
Me:I was gonna say missile launcher
Friend:……oh
Me:Oh!? What were you thinking of!?
Friend:….no comment
You can also just put the kids in a car and extract the car
playing MGO with combat knife only :D
BOLLOCKS!
C4 isn't actually a weapon. It is a demolition, and the Geneva convention restricts using it as a weapon. You coulda got by on this technicality in my book. Especially when you blew up the oil tanks with a grenade instead. A grenade is definitely a weapon lol.
water pistol on the coms and stuff destroys it
Shame you can't get the Water Pistol until you've gone to Africa, otherwise it would be a decent little trick
