This weekend, Konami confirmed that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s nuclear disarmament special event had kicked off.
The event will only launch if a very specific set of circumstances are met in-game. Here they are, according to Konami:
- You must have completed Mission 31.
- You must not own or be currently developing a nuclear weapon. If you have any nukes in stock, you must dismantle them.
- Certain conditions related to nuclear proliferation must be met on the regional server for your corresponding gaming platform (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC(Steam)).
- All nuclear weapons on the regional server corresponding to your console or platform must have been dismantled. In other words, the amount of nukes on your platform’s server must be equal to 0.
Because hints to the event were found about a month ago, keen players have already been working towards disarmament. On PS4, for example, nukes have shrunk to 349 from 2,761 since 1 November. PC nukes are following a similar trend. Konami is currently updating gamers on nuke numbers via the MGS Twitter account.
Good luck if you’re working towards peace!
