Guide to ALL Weapon Projects in Metal Gear Solid 5 the Phantom Pain

 

Let's go on a hunt for collectibles in MGS V: the Phantom Pain.

If you are looking to unlock the Metal Gear Solid 5 the Phantom Pain "Collector" achievement or just want unlock all weapons, you will not be able to avoid the find and collect projects scattered around the game world.

To see which projects you have already taken, open the iDroid and then go to Mother Base - Database - Documents - Projects. Each project has its own name, so you can easily see which ones you are missing and find them thanks to this guide.

The projects to be found are 27 in total:
- 12 of these are simply collected in free mode, but keep in mind that to be able to collect them all you will have to get beyond the middle of the game, however NOT before mission 31;
- 6 are obtained as a reward for completing the OPTIONAL missions relating to the same projects;
- 9 are obtained by completing external missions key using your Combat Unit through the iDroid. Again, some of the external missions that have a blueprint as a reward unlock only after you pass the main mission 31. Keep in mind that not all external missions reward a blueprint.

In the video above it is shown where and how to take every single project, but read the important information at the beginning of this guide carefully. Find below the list of weapons that are unlocked by finding these blueprints, along with other indications, including the minute of the video where you can see their position.
