How to unlock the Cleared achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide

Take D-Dog with you, he marks the Mines on your Map (using the Second Screen App is helpful since you don't have to search / open your map)

If you're lazy use the ISADO RGL-220 Granade Launcher or an Airstrike to shorten this Mission type, also you "back to ACC"

According to the list, I've completed all requirements to have access to all 10 mine clearing side ops, yet 6, 8 and 10 do not appear in my side ops list.
I've completed all other mine clearing side ops as well as the relevant episodes.

You have to do certain other side ops sometimes to get other side ops to appear. Also, I have completed them all, no achievement.

There are in total 10 Mine Clearing SIDE OPS.

They are very easy when using DD, as he marks the mines on your iDroid map.

Also be careful when blowing up mines around DD and enemy bases.

EDIT: You can also go behind the landmines and hold b to remove/pick themup. Thanks for bringing that up NuclearDomson.

Just an added tidbit for those new to the series, you can simply pick up the mines from behind instead if you're concerned about alerting enemies or accidentally blowing up DD.

If you zoom in on the Claymore, it should say "FRONT" or "BACK". Walk up to it from behind wink

Could this be glitched? I've done all the way to main mission 40 and have only unlocked Mine clearing 1, 3 and 5.

Side Ops never end do they?
Done them over and over again, same missions keep reappearing, rescue prisons, extract high-skilled soldier, Eliminate Tank Unit and so forth... arrghh frustrating angry

From my experience, for me I was clearing the
when this popped.

This was my technique:
Rotate amongst each type of side mission (eliminate heavy infantry 1, tank units 1, rescue prisoner1, etc. Then eliminate heavy infantry 2, tank units 2, rescue prisoner2, etc.) Note: I didn't do the mother base target practices. By the time I reached 121/150 Side op missions completed, it made the mine clearing 10 available.

To add to the above, I noticed online that tons of people are missing either Number 09 or 10. This isn't always due to something being in the same spot as this side-op.

These are tied to completing other side-ops some of which seem unrelated in the code. Often it is a 'rescue a prisoner' or 'capture highly-skilled soldier'

Just thought I would help. Let me know if more info is needed.smile

I have exactly this problem. I ve done all missions and have completed all available side-ops. But I only have 136/157. I noticed that some of the "rescue" or "destroy" side-ops are replayable. Do I have to play them over and over to unlock the rest? Or do I have to do something completely different to get them unlocked?

Yes, sometimes due to the order that things get redrawn you have to clear ops in the surrounding area. I just looked for ops that placed me in the area that the one I was missing was in. Cleared it and eventually the ones I was missing popped up.

There are 10 Mine Clearing SIDE OPS. I recommend taking DD with you because he will mark them on your idroid. You can either disarm them from behind or shoot them.

SIDE OP Missions unlock randomly and sporadically sometimes. If you haven't unlocked all of the Mine Clearing Ops, just try completing other Ops and check back regularly.

a quicker way of dealing with the mine clearing is to call in a support bombarment on the area.

See Achieved. Mine Clearing is a series of Side Ops that involve you disabling mines in a small area. To disable a mine or ground explosive, crouch-walk up to them from the opposite direction of their lasers. When given the on-screen prompt, hold . Repeat this for however many mines the Side Op requires.

In total, there are 10 mine clearing side ops to complete for this achievement. They will unlock slowly, one by one and sometimes even in pairs as you progress through the game’s main missions. They involve searching a hot-zone for land mines, and then either disarming them manually or destroying the mines with a few well-placed shots of your lethal weapons. 

It’s recommended to bring D-Dog with you on these side ops as he will be able to spot and mark (on your iDroid’s map) land mines up to 90 meters away. Also, the helicopter’s landing zones are usually pretty far away from the actual Mine Clearing area, so once you’ve completed the side op, simply pause your game and click “Return to ACC” to avoid having to call in the helicopter and run back to the evac point. Once all ten mine clearing side ops have been completed, this achievement will unlock.

D-Dog, as a partner, marks mines on the map. He approached in a squat from the back of the mine, so that the fan of the mine’s rays did not fall under the character.

It’s easier to just explode mines with a machine gun and that’s it, faster, but there’s no special profit in collecting them

I threw grenades at the mines, it was easier and faster, several of them exploded at once.

There are 10 missions in total, take your dog with you - he will indicate the location of the mines on the map, stupidly shoot the mines themselves with any weapon (there is no need to crawl and clear them).
After destroying the last mine, a trophy will drop.

If you are used to using someone else instead of a dog, you can use a NVG (night vision device) to detect mines.
