With yesterday's update of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the FOB missions went live. In the Event FOB missions players can ransack another player's base without the risk of retaliation, and thus steal materials and kidnap staff. But don't worry, you can pay to have your base insured. You can spend 50 coins on a 24 hour insurance or 300 coins for coverage to last you a fortnight. That equates to about £2 for two weeks of insurance. Of course, you can earn these coins in-game, but this has to be one of the weirdest ways to implement incentives to use microtransactions.
Have you started engaging with the online modes of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain yet? If so, please share your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks, VG247.
