I did not get it for rescuing him but for beating the mission on normal. Really weird IMO that you got it for rescuing him, but me and others got it for beating mission.

This game is notorious for not popping achievements when it should. It may just randomly pop across the next few days. Uninstalling and reinstalling has helped some people from what I've heard. Theres not a lot of info about the glitch to be honest, but it is common,

If you've collected all tapes and the achievement still didn't pop up then make sure that you've collected cassette tapes in both Jamais Vu and Deja-Vu missions. Both are laying in the same place - on a rock near the cave.

Since no one has offered any clarification on Chico's Tape 7, let it be known that you must rescue the prisoner in Paz's original location AND the prisoners at Chico's old prison area. This is the only way, only getting the first prisoner will NOT get you the cassette tape.

There is a second tape in the Classified Intel Acquisition Side Op. Interrogate the Bald (CIPHER) agent posing as a Marine. Go straight to the boiler room at the beginning of the mission to find him. This achievement is not glitched.

What would we do without Maka? THanks. BTW, it would be helpful to include in the text part that you must continue to a checkpoint for the collectible to save. As well, can you collect in multiple playthroughs or does it all have to be done in one? some in hard with some on normal?

Just got back to this and my cassette tape achievement didn’t pop when I got the last tape and quit out after the checkpoint... so I played and finished a random mission and at the end it unlocked! So maybe try and finish a mission if it doesn’t unlock.

Guys if your having problems like I did...don't just collect it then quit out of the game. Yes, sure, it does shown you have collected it after the game saves then quit out of the game. But I think what you actually have to do here is finish the mission after you have collected the tapes in that mission then the game will or should registered that you have collected all of the cassette tapes.

There is a cassette tape not listed in most guides that is located in the cell behind chicos cell in the ground zeroes mission. The achievement will not pop without it, i know this because it is the last cassette tape i retrieved. To see if you have this cassette tape simply go to the music section of the cassette tapes menu and the cassette tape is called metal gear solid V ground zeoes (all in caps). Hope this helps.

If the cassette cheevo doesnt pop, clear your cache and collect the tape under the video camera in the data acquisition side mission.
Same solution as with other mgs5gz cheeves.

This is how you clear the cache on your Xbox One: hold the power button on the Xbox, after a few seconds it will turn off completely, now turn it back on, the cache is cleared, you should get the achievement once you launch the game.

The Tape 4 entry is wrong. This needs to be done playing Ground Zeroes, after you gave rescued Chico and/or the other POWs, go to the camp opposite where the level started, you want to go in from the right hand side as guards have a POW against the front wall who they are gonna kill - keep,an eye on the guy in the watch tower too, but once you tranq/knockout the guards rescue the POW, and call the chopper to arrive at the mission start location to pick up prisoner, then go get Paz and meet with chopper. Job done.

Remember that Deja Vu and Jamais Vu have a cassette tape for each mission that are required for the trophy. In other words, there is a cassette tape to collect in each mission for two cassette tapes total. My achievement didn't unlock until I picked up cassette tape in both missions.

There are a total of twelve "collectible" cassette tapes. The game doesn't track that you collected a tape until you complete a mission, so make sure that you don't quit out mid-mission after grabbing a few tapes or else you'll have to collect them again.

Chico's Tape 5
Ground Zeroes main mission: On a dumpster behind and to the left of the stairs with the yellow railings before going down to Paz. These stairs are on the side of the Admin Building where you have access to the control box that shuts down the power. This tape only appears before you rescue either Chico or Paz.

Chico's Tape 2
Ground Zeroes main mission: In the Admin Building's watch tower, on the desk.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Music Tape
Ground Zeroes main mission: In the cage behind Chico.

Chico's Tape 3
Ground Zeroes main mission: Given to you by Chico after you rescue him.

Chico's Tape 4
Ground Zeroes main mission: Extract the prisoner to be executed (Rescue achievement)

Chico's Tape 6
Eliminate the Renegade Threat Side Op: In the locked armory by the warehouses, near Palitz's walking route. Basically, head to the place where you start in the Ground Zeroes main mission, and walk straight away from the chain linked fence close to that first wooden watch tower you encountered. Make your way towards the warehouses. Look for the armory on your right, it's got a red door.

Chico's Tape 1
Complete Intel Operative Rescue Side Op.

Agent's Recording
Classified Intel Acquisition Side Op: In the Admin Building's watch tower, on the desk.

Classified Intel Data
Classified Intel Acquisition Side Op: Find the bald soldier walking around the boiler room under the Admin Building. Interrogate him and he'll drop the tape. To interrogate, sneak up behind a soldier, hold when prompted, hold to open up the dialogue options, then flick the up to deliver the "Spit it out!" line. If you have difficulty finding the bald soldier, restart the mission and make sure you head to the boiler room straight away.

Chico's Tape 7
Destroy the Anti-Air Emplacements Side Op: Rescue the prisoner where Paz is located during the Ground Zeroes mission (part of Extraction achievement).

Jamais Vu Music Tape
Jamais Vu Extra Op: Close to where you begin the mission, at the nearby helicopter extraction point on a rock. Use night vision to help see the tape and nearby mines!

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Song
Beat every mission on hard, the final rank you've earned for a mission does not matter here.

I did it wrong and instead of collecting the cassette in Deja Vu, I assembled the cassette in Jamevu. They lie in the same place and in some guides it is collected in Jamevu.
