How To Gain Access To Mission 46

There’s a couple of things you’ll have to do:
  • Finish all main missions before and after it.
  • Complete all important Side Ops (the ones marked yellow in the list).
  • Fully upgrade Mother Base and all its platforms.
You may not have to upgrade your HQ all the way, so just check the mission list periodically while upgrading it. One of the tricky missions to finish is Mission 45, as it requires you to complete Side Op 150, which is difficult to unlock.

How To Unlock Side Op 150

Side Op 150 leads to the finale of Quiet’s story, but it doesn’t bring Quiet back. There’s a few things you’ll have to do in order to unlock it:
  • Do not kill Quiet in Mission 11: Cloaked In Silence. You need her alive for any of this to happen.
  • Quiet has to be battle-ready (not recuperating).
  • You should max out your bond level with her.
  • You must have seen the cinematic where the scientist is exiled from Mother Base.
  • Don’t use the Butterfly (front) design on your emblem.
In other words, you have to have Quiet as a buddy and not try to stop her departure after Mission 43.

Mission 46 Rewards

Completing mission 46 will let you reap some interesting rewards:
  • The real (true) ending
  • Star of Betlehem key item (gives Infinity Bandana)
  • The Codename: Big Boss key item (gives Leather Jacket uniform)
