This mission also includes many resource containers, tanks and mechs which you can fulton back to base as an added bonus.

Having a large number of foes improves the chance that an S rank soldier will spawn into the area. There are a high number of enemies on this level (30+) and the journey time is low. By far the best Mission in my experience is Mission 30 'Skull Face'.

Where to find S rank soldiers Now that you understand the requirements for S rank soldiers to appear, the next objective is to decide which mission provides the best farming options. Unfortunately you won't know this until the mission is complete (unless you've unlocked the high level analyser) and you can't recapture specialists after a mission is complete. For every Specialist you rescue there's a chance that they'll come with a very high rank in a particular area. Interrogation is key to finding the location of these soldiers. YouTube video proof Specialists are your best chance early in the game Every mission has a set of Skills and Specialists that you can find and unlock by fultoning soldiers back to base. Until I reached this game completion milestone, only A rank soldiers would spawn. Roughly, 1 or 2 S Rank soldiers would appear every time I repeated the Side Op, each solider having an S Rank in a different area. Example The video below shows a Side Op when my Overall Progress was 55% and Heroism 120,000. Therefore, unless you're over 60% of the way through the game and have acquired well in excess of 100,000 Heroism Points, you're unlikely to find many, if any, S rank soldiers (besides story critical characters and specialists). The actual chance of them appearing is calculated from you the result of your Heroism, game completion percentage and a random generator. When do S rank soldiers appear As you can guess from the heading, very high ranking soldiers don't spawn in particular missions, but rather at the will of the RnG gods (randomly). These can take a while to acquire but more importantly you need a full list of at least A++ or S ranked staff members. The first of those requires a tonne of resources, most notably Fuel Resources and Common Metal. To reach those insanely high R&D levels you'll need two things: a fully expanded base and many high ranking staff members. Towards the end of the game you're probably interested in those high level development projects such as the Wormhole Fulton and non-lethal semi-auto sniper rifle. In this guide I'll show you exactly where to hunt for them and explain how they spawn in the game. S rank soldiers provide a massive level boost for Mother Base but they're a very rare occurrence in The Phantom Pain.
