For this tip to work, you must enable auto-save. After you send your combat team to Outer Ops mission and you are using your mechs, the auto save will run and save your game. After the saving, Reports will notify you about the Mother Base. After the report, head to Outer Ops to view their Missions Status. If your Mech gets Decommissioned, (damaged beyond Repair), DO NOT SAVE MANUALLY. Instead, go to title screen without saving. Load your game again, and it will bring you back to the Reports about the Mother Base, and after the Reports, Head to the Outer Ops again... Reset and Load until you receive a better outcome and your Mech is not Decommissioned.

Defeating Pupa
This trick requires either the Law or the RPG, and the M16, ration and supply marker. Wait until Pupa stops and fire a rocket at the large cylinder console on its front. To avoid the electric shots. Do not stop moving. When it launches its lighting rods, take out a few near you with the M16 and lay flat on the ground until the lighting stops and keep firing. If you are running low on rations and ammunition, use the supply marker to call in more. Once it is destroyed, fire a rocket at the hatch on top of its head. You need to take the "programs". It does not matter which ones you take out.

Mk. 22 Butt Shot Takedown
Normally it takes a couple of hits from Mk. 22 to put a guard that wears a helmet or armor to sleep. The trick is to shoot at the guards butt (right between the cheeks); this will make the guard to reach for his/her behind and fall asleep.
Monster Hunter stages
Listen to all of Chico's audio briefings. This is done by selecting a mission, choosing "Briefing Files" then entering the Chico file library. Listen to all the tapes. Then select Extra Ops and select "[029] Item Capture". Start the mission, take care of the three guards, and destroy the item crate. Collect its items but instead of going to the extraction point move south to the beach at Playa del Alba. When you enter the beach, take a left and go down the dock. Miller will notify you about a strange animal at this location. Run down the dock to find Trenya, from the Monster Hunter series. After the dialog you can now access "[121] Hunting Quest: Rathalos" in Extra Ops. Complete it to unlock other Monster Hunter related missions.
Paz's Bikini Viewer
After getting a Rank S on the "Date with Paz" mission you get to see her in her underwear. But you can also go to Staff Management Screen at Mother Base and look for the women of the game(Amanda, Dr.Strangelove, Cecile) and then press TRIANGLE twice to see their model in underwear. Note: You can only see the models of the women only.
Paz's diary
Defeat the harder versions of the A.I. Bosses. You can find the diary tapes inside the A.I. pods when you collect the boards.
Rear Shield Protection
Equip your shield and an assault rifle, shot gun, rifle, bazooka or placeable weapons (no handguns, sub machine guns or grenades). As you're firing, turn your back on the enemy as they open fire. The shield remains on your back, deflecting some of the shots coming at you. This works well when you are overwhelmed or when you lack means of cover. This technique doesn't work well against heavy machine gun fire, snipers, heavy soldiers or any soldier with a bazooka. Also since you don't have rations equipped you cannot heal. Get some experience with this technique with the Russian invasion level. Not much of a cheat, but its a good trick to use when you're placing down supply markers or when you're surrounded by enemies.
Resuscitation
Tired of accidentally killing soldiers when you want to get a high ranking? One of the basic weapons you start with can prevent that. First, shoot a soldier until the near-death skull apears. Then, switch to the Stun Rod. Go up to the dying soldier and electrocute him until half your battery is dead. This will revert his status from near dead to stunned, allowing you to move on without worrying that the enemy will die.
See women their underwear
Earn an "S" rank on the "Date with Paz" mission to see her in her underwear.
Go to the "Staff Management" screen at Mother Base. Look for Amanda, Dr. Strangelove, Cecile then press Triangle(2) to see them in their underwear.

The True Last Battle (Zeke Battle) and Ending
There are several requirements that have to be met before unlocking the true last battle. They don't have to be done in any particular order. First, make sure you complete all 6 Main Ops "Zadornov Search" missions, which are unlocked after the last mission (Peace Walker Battle 3). Next, the Mother Base must have been upgraded to 2 plants, which is achieved by first having a Level 40 Intel Team (just move a bunch of recruits to that section to increase its level) and then completing 13 Extra Ops missions (except Target Practice, No Limit or Training missions) to upgrade the base. It doesn't matter if the Extra Ops missions were already completed, you can repeat the same mission 13 times if you wish. You'll receive a message that the Mother Base has expanded. Do this two times. Next, you must have collected all the Metal Gear ZEKE basic parts (collected by beating bosses) and must have the Railgun installed (which is gotten from S-Ranking the Chrysalis Battle). Also, you cannot have Metal Gear ZEKE assigned to an Outer Ops Team. After fulfilling all of those requirements, you'll trigger a call from Kaz informing you that Zadornov has escaped his cell yet again. So go to Extra Ops Target Practice #1, you'll see Zadornov on the 2nd floor. After the cutscene, the true last battle will be unlocked. If by any chance you don't get the call about Zadornov escaping that 7th time, then just keep completing Extra Ops missions until your Mother Base grows more and you'll eventually get the call.
