How to unlock the Deployment achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide
The last 5 or so dispatch missions require the
Another thing of note is that the later dispatch missions take 2 or more hours. These hours only count down when you're actually on the game, so failing can make this rather tedious. This is why I went with the A++, because they were my worst people but I still had over a 50% chance.
Comment from the games masta - If you abandon a mission, you do not lose your
I've read that there about 20 key dispatch missions for you to do in total, but I cannot verify that, because when I was playing I wasn't counting the total number of key dispatch missions that I did.
However what I can confirm is that for the key dispatch missions they're all fairly easy usually about a C or D rank challenge. (Except for the last 5)
After a while, you will get a couple of key dispatch missions where you need to have trucks. (Later mission will require tanks.)
The LAST FIVE Key Dispatch missions all require walker gears, and are S rank difficulty.
Whenever I used my rank A or below soldiers, I would always fail. I wouldn't stand a chance of winning unless I used a team of at least all A+ ranked people.
(easiest way to get A+ or above people is by fultoning specialists during missions and in side ops that you discovered by interrogating soldiers or just by using your binoculars)
The last 5 (and only difficult) Key dispatch missions are listed below:
- Rescue the peacekeepers
- Eliminate the dictator
- Recapture the oilfield facility
- Secure the bridge heads
- Prevent the coup d'etat (Final one)
Key Dispatch Missions, designated at the top of the combat deployment mission selection screen with yellow dots/text, act as off-screen missions that your combat units will engage in once you’ve given them the go-to order. These missions net grand rewards to your Mother Base, though the risk involved is usually very high. Several of these key dispatch missions will require a fine amount of A, A+, A++, and higher-ranking soldiers in order to achieve success. At times, you will also need certain vehicles before the mission can commence, such as trucks, Walker Gear, or Huey’s Diamond Dogs Battle Gear.
Once you start to get towards the final few of these missions, the success rate will drop to around 50-60% and the missions themselves will last around two and half hours. Due to this high risk, it may take multiple attempts and several lost combat units before you finally complete the mission and unlock the next one. While the number of key dispatch missions is uncertain as of now, completing the final mission, Coup d’etat, will unlock this achievement.

Shortly after gaining access to Mother Base, you will be able to send Diamond Dogs soldiers on missions overseas. On the Missions screen of your iDroid, select Combat Deployment. Here, you can send your soldiers on timed missions. The very top option in this menu is a 'key' dispatch mission, and the only ones that are required for the trophy.
Later into these missions, you'll find that they get very difficult and require S rank soldiers to yield a victory percentage of more that 50%. You can see this factor when you select a key dispatch mission and are hovering over a squad to send. You can also create a custom squad in this menu by pressing and selecting soldiers with .
Also, some of these key dispatch missions require vehicles or gears, one of which, the Battle Gear, is unlocked automatically after some time. Some missions require that you extract vehicles via Fulton as a part of mission tasks, so I recommend acquiring the required vehicles by doing this instead of attempting to stumble upon them by luck in the open world. Also, if you abort a dispatch mission before it's completed, then you will lose the vehicles used in it. If this includes the Battle Gear, you lose access to it for several hours, and therefore cannot attempt the dispatch mission again for that time.
After completing several of these tasks you will receive a trophy.
