Metal Gear Solid 5 update: Konami give Phantom Pain fans the hardest task yet

A Metal Gear Solid 5 update is set to include a big surprise

KONAMI have given Metal Gear Solid 5 fans the hardest challenges yet and have revealed a brand new update for the Phantom Pain.

 

Fans on PC have unlocked a new ending that includes a secret nuclear cut-scene that reveal an alternative look to some of the game's key characters.

It sounds like a pretty cool Easter egg, the only problem has been, how is is unlocked?

Unfortunately for fans who hope to see it outside of Youtube, the task at hand looks pretty steep.

The official Metal Gear Solid V strategy guide reveals that fans need to have completed mission 31 and must have no nuclear weapons or be building one.

 

Phantom Pain fans face a difficult take unlocking the new ending

Sounds simple enough, until the other parameters are revealed.

The next step involves "certain conditions related to nuclear proliferation" to be met on the regional servers including the corresponding platform of either PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 or Xbox 360.

The final condition that must be met is that the total number of nukes available on the server must be zero.

It means fans will be able to carry on their adventures with their chosen buddy after mission 45, leaving the door open to doing things a little differently.

It follows the news that Konami are working with one of the UK’s leading creators of prosthetic limbs to build a bespoke bionic arm for a young gamer.

Working closely with renowned prosthetics artist, Sophie De Oliviera Barata and a team of engineers, roboticists and product designers, Konami will help produce a highly stylised and multi-functional limb for 25-year-old James Young, drawing from the Metal Gear Solid aesthetic.

"James tragically lost an arm and a leg when he was dragged on to the tracks, between two carriages of the London DLR as it was pulling in," a Konami statement explains.

"Despite his loss, James refuses to let it interrupt his life and hobbies of travel and video games. He has become extremely adept at playing games one-handed, and was carefully selected by Sophie as a candidate comfortable with the idea of an eye-catching alternative limb and who would benefit from the capabilities it offered."

Sophie De Oliviera Barata's past designs have included SteamPunk arms and cyborg-inspired legs, and she also designed the crystal leg used by amputee performer Viktoria Modesta during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Paralympics.
