MGSV: Ground Zeroes - Mission: Ground Zeroes (S-Rank / Hard Mode)

-Hard Mode -S-Rank -No kills -No alerts -No reflex mode Spoiler-free (relatively, all custcenes skipped) run through the main mission of MGSV's Ground Zeroes with the traditional traits of no kills, no alerts...and the new no reflex mode because seriously who uses that. Can be done faster of course, but it's one of the many ways to S-Rank this mission without breaking the rules above and without farming points by extracting other prisoners. One thing to note is that even though this is a pre-planned route, things got a bit improvisational after contacting the second target (Paz). The two guys coming my way when I'm about to leave the basement usually stay together and directly head to check whether Paz is still in her cell. Unlike in any of my previous runs, one of them sees his passed out buddy on top of the stairs, possibly because I threw that magazine at 10:50 to distract the guard instead of just shooting him as usual, thus making him fall more towards the stairs. Since he's blocking my path back, I take him and before that his partner out since I'm already at it. This had the nice side effect that they aren't able to check on Paz and the base doesn't go apeshit halfway on my way out. On the other hand, the last two guards won't leave their positions and clear the way due to that, so I had to deal with them on the go, too. Made for a more satisfying and stealthy escape and I even got to cut my previous time about 3 minutes, so no harm done.
