How to unlock the Hero achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide
To obtain the codename hero you must have completed main mission
and reached a total of
Just a reminder that you can get more heroism points from doing the same main mission over again.
*an upgraded helicopter with armor helps a lot
Mission 33 can be completed in roughly a minute if you use the helicopter and deploy right into the outpost. Simply destroy the 3 satellite dishes with the mounted machine gun. You will receive a S rank and 1580 heroism points.
- Building a Nuke: -50.000 (yes, every time you build one)
- Disposing a Nuke: +1000
- Disposing ten Nukes: +30.000
- Complete a Missing with S-Rank: +1600
- Infiltrating FOBs: ~
- Most Achievements you unlock: 5000-50.000 Points
With the Hero Staus, you can infiltrate other Players FOB, who have built a Nuke. You can lose the Status (but ofc not the Achievement) by dropping below 100.000 Heroism Points.
I am not sure if it was coincidence or related, but after I hit 150,000, I did a side op to rescue the legendary gunsmith again. Upon completion I was awarded 30,000 heroism and this unlocked the trophy. It was the next mission I did after hitting 150,000.
It is recommended that you go for this trophy before building your nuke. When you build a nuke, you will lose 50,000 heroism, which will obviously make this one take longer.
I managed to finish Mission 46 with 120,000 heroism so it really depends how long it will take you to get this. Doing these missions repeatedly, I managed to get the trophy after an hour or two of doing this. Here's a link to a GameFaqs thread with all of the actions that can get you heroism:

Good luck!
In order to obtain the codename "Hero," you will first need to have completed Mission 31, "Sahelanthropus," and then also obtain a total of 150,000 or more Heroism Points. These points are generously awarded at the end of each main mission and Side Op and can be tracked at the post-main-mission stat screen after you've obtained your rank, codename, and rewards.
These points are awarded to players who go out of their way to rescue prisoners during missions, extract new wild animal species across Afghanistan and Africa, and for completing missions with an S-Rank. On top of that, earning key collectible achievements such as "Conservation," "Collector," and/or "Reminiscence" will also award a huge amount of Heroism Points. What's more, repeating the same missions over and over again will always net Heroism Points, meaning you could farm a short, easy mission such as "[SUBSISTENCE] C2W" and obtain around 1,500 Heroism Points per each 3-minute run.
Despite this being a valid method for farming these points, there is little to no reason to farm Heroism as most players will have no issue unlocking this achievement naturally towards the end of their playthrough.
