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

An Infiltration FOB is when you invade another player's FOB (Forward Operating Base). These became available once you have completed mission 22, which is essentially a tutorial for this type of mission.

Currently getting this to work can be pretty janky. You first need to get your own FOB, but the game has been known to freeze when you purchase it (during the tutorial). So what you do is load the game up in offline mode, turn online mode on from the pause menu, then purchase an FOB. This tends to get around it.

After this, go to the Aerial Command Center and open up the Missions tab on your iDroid. Pick FOB Missions, and choose a base to invade. The achievement pops as soon as you commence the mission, so no pressure to win (they're actually pretty hard).

As of the writing of this guide, these bases default to people your rank. It's entirely possible you could find an empty FoB to attack.

Can you delete the FOB once you have the achievement? Don't fancy hearing every few minutes that someone is invading or when ever they can that will otherwise interrupt the session what ever I'm doing.

Thanks.

You can just turn your game on offline and that will stop anyone from jumping in your game. You do not want to delete your FOB because it allows you to have more people in your base, which allows your different departments to level up.

I've been trying for 3 or 4 days to purchase international waters. The game just hangs whenever i try to purchase either of the 3 options. Then I have to manually quit the game from dashboard. Sucks.

The time I had it work was I loaded the game up in offline mode, loaded into the chopper, got online, and then bought it. I've read it's really janky.

I frequently play in offline mode because being connected actually effects your iDroid for some reason, it lags single player or it's just buggy to the point scrolling through your iDroid it takes ages to load anything & everything.

Found this: "If im not on xbox live (at work or whatever) can other players still invade & steal my assets?"

"Yeah, even if you set it to offline mode. The moment you connect online your motherbase will be updated. Lose staff and resources while you were invaded? Gone. Can't turn it off or separate your MB staff from your FOB staff either :\"

Interesting read: https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3jnago/majo...

Basically the answer is, if you're forced to build a FOB, your non direct contract staff can be stolen.

This is fubar, I've completed mission 20 and I think I'll just S rank & do mission tasks until they patch it. If they don't patch it, well I'll get to that bridge when it comes.

For those getting server connection errors, try again now. I was finally able to log into the servers today and I had the game since launch.

Not sure. Does the person who's base you are infiltrating have to be there for the achievement to pop? Ive done 3 now. 2 peoples and a training one on my platform. Nothing.

Can you not choose platforms from your friends list?

That sounds like the "Done... Unlocking!" server lag HolyMolster subject to every game at random times. Glad it unlocked for you.

You might wanna note that you can't access FOB missions from Mother Base (IDK about free-roam), I didn't see the option until I was in the helicopter...

I mean you can't access ANY missions from Mother Base (except the target shooting I guess), so I don't see how that's relevant. If you've made it through mission 22 one would assume you know how to start a mission. I guess I can add it though.

Sorry that was meant as a general 'you', as in the player, not a jab at you in particular. My bad.

Oh right, so you HAVE to be online for people to invade your FOB? Thought that video a couple of months back when they announced FOB's said it's open 24/7; so people can invade you when you're not online (whether console on/off, not playing game etc) but you can retaliate when you login to get your staff & items back.

Obviously I'm not clued up with how it works so please forgive any naivety.

This is in an online infiltration mode, where you can build your own base (FOB) and infiltrate others' FOBs. When you've infiltrated someone's base, you'll get this trophy.

Online FOBs unlock after mission 22, which is basically a tutorial for this mode.

After this, FOBs will appear under the Mission tab on your iDroid. In here, select someone you want to infiltrate. When the infiltration starts, you should already get the trophy, so win or loss doesn't matter (I failed my infiltration, but still got the trophy already).

After finishing mission 22 and after the first time you connect online, you'll be forced to create an FOB. To connect online, return to the ACC and press the left side of the to pause. Here, select Connect Online. After setting up your FOB and completing the tutorial, you can play an infiltration mission. Open your iDroid, navigate to Missions, then select FOB Missions. Here, you'll be able to select a player's base that you can invade. The trophy does require players to be online, but they don't have to join the game. Simply start an invasion from this menu and the trophy will unlock immediately after the loading screen.

“Infiltration” FOB missions take place when you invade another player’s forward operating base. These missions can be commenced through the iDroid’s FOB Mission selection screen. They will only become available once you have completed mission 22, "Retake the Platform" (which acts a tutorial for FOB missions). 

Once you’ve completed this mission and can access the FOB mission selection screen, simply choose a player’s base to invade and the achievement will unlock after the sortie prep screen. This means that you don’t actually have to complete the mission at all. Keep in mind though, you will definitely need an online connection to earn this achievement.

Infiltration of other players will become available after the 22nd story mission. In the "TASKS" tab, the item "PB TASKS" will appear. Before playing online, you will need to go through a short tutorial.
You will receive the trophy as soon as you land on someone else's base.
Infiltration tip - Bring firearms to destroy security cameras and flying drones of guards.

The trophy is buggy and can drop out even when you are flying in a helicopter

The trophy is not bugged. The PB mission "Infiltration" begins as soon as you find yourself in the helicopter. The PB task will open after mission 22.
