Complete a mission as a Combat Unit staff member.

Pretty early into the game, Miller will establish a Combat Unit. The Combat Unit is used for a lot of different things in the game, but we only have to use it for a main story mission.

After the Combat Unit is established, you can assign recruits to this Unit via the iDroid.

You have to have at least one person in the Combat Unit to get this trophy.

After putting people in the Unit, select a main story mission. On the Deployment screen select the bottom option, select Snake and then you can choose a different character.

Complete the mission and you should get the trophy when you’ve evacuated the zone.

Welcome to my trophy / achievement guide for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Here I will try to show you guys how to obtain every trophy / achievement in this game in the most clear and organized way possible. If you need help, then this is the place to be.

How to do combat missions

Secret quick way to level up any staff on Mother Base in the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn how to use FOB Events to upgrade stats of your Mother Base soldiers. The key is to get the message “Proficiency Has Increased Significantly” when you finish each FOB Event (in FOB Missions). Once you have accumulated enough proficiency, you will be “Awarded Distinguished Service Medal”. When that happens, that means your chosen staff will be at maximum stats possible. Note that it won’t work if your staff is already close to S+ or S++ in all categories, as he will still get the medal, but the stats stay the same. The FOB Event in the video is the Skulls Attack (2nd version where you need to extract 3 guards). It is extremely easy to do, and takes less than 2 minutes to win. Therefore, you can level up any staff member to the maximum in less than 8 minutes each (assuming it takes 4 wins to get the medal). After you win the Distinguished Service Medal, make sure that you lock your staff if he is still too weak, or he may get dismissed if you use auto organize option of Staff Management. Note that permanently locked characters (like Ocelot or Hideo) won’t show up in the character selection screen when you move them into the Combat Unit, but all other staff can be used.
