Whenever you wonder "why is MGSV so incomplete?" the answer will always and most certainly Konami forcing Kojima and the team to finish the game as quickly as posible
Why was battle gear removed you ask? Because Konami told Mr.Kojima: "This game is taking way too long and is costing us way too much, you're lauching it today so we can make some money right now and you can go f*ck yourself"
Battle gear was removed from being used by the player because it would ruin the balance of the game whether you agree with that choice or not is up to you
@@thefox5301 MGSV is easy as fuck already, like, if you use all the max upgraded weapons, stealth camo, infinity bandana, nothing can stop you, why would Battle Gear be different? Just make it a really late game asset, like, having to complete all missions with S rank. Removed for "balance" is a very weak excuse when Quiet with the 50. Cal sniper can whip out the entire map of enemies and destroy tanks and helicopters.
It's open-world survival, build base, make food, don't die or lose ur base because your food and water supplies keep ticking even when you're logged out
