Konami's twitter feed has been filling out some info on MGS 5's Metal Gear Online component, mainly about customisation and gear. Here's the short version of all the new stuff:
• There's different gear parts which can be customised and mixed.
• You can change preset colour and patterns.
• Gear doesn't affect stats.
• There will be classes, and some gear is class specific.
• There's no open world co-op (this has been mentioned before).
• You can't unlock online gear in single player.
Interestingly, most questions were answered but one about being able to play as a female soldier was left conspicuously untouched.
As mentioned, we have a little bit of info to share on MGO tonight, many of you have had questions about the gear customizationJuly 21, 2015
The game allows players to access different gear types, and one nice feature is the ability to change color, or even patterns on most gearJuly 21, 2015
To demonstrate this, here is a shot of two identical pieces of gear, modified in color and pattern pic.twitter.com/9Gn5Y6eVFmJuly 21, 2015
