+DeadlyDre Actually, I figured it's only purpose was using it on the Man on Fire and it turns out that doesn't even work. I learned something about this weapon through this video, but sure, call it click-bait I guess.
From a stealth standpoint, the water gun is essential loadout. It can take out electronics and comms without making noise/raising an alarm, seeing as it's the only weapon that can do this it's actually really, really good. You can make up for your lack of tranq gun with a suppressed sniper (or just not rely on tranq).
***** Sorry I should have been more clear, it doesn't affect cameras but it actually does affect ALL comms including antennas. For the radio setup you can just shoot anywhere (comms centre), but with the rooftop comm dishes you need to hit the box where the vent is. It also disables generators permanently and puts out barrel fires to create shadows for sneaking, and works as a sound distraction wherever the water hits.
***** C.Box is totally unneeded once you figure out stealth mode/prone makes you practically invisible in the right conditions. That's why coming in and out of C.box stops you from getting a No Traces "super stealth" bonus.
+Damien John If you never get caught then you don't really need to worry about the comms. There's just so many situations that I'd rather have tranq pistol.
hairypancake Yeah it all depends on your playstyle. I just really like the idea of destroying a bases equipment without causing an alert mode, which isn't possible without the water pistol. ;)
+Alejandro Silva That is actually a viable option, I've killed two of them with CQC counters when they attack me with their machete, it's very hard to do though
I really only bring water pistol on most of my missions. The quiet electronics disablement and bonfire dousing, keep guys awake for interrogation, infinite ammo, very fast fire rate, quiet, large 'magazine' capacity, low usage cost, and of course holdups... This is an exceptionally useful weapon especially for quick quiet players. And yes, it does work on the man on fire after a couple reloads.
The squirt gun also effects SKULLS units, interrupting them with a custom animation for about a second. One of the cassette tapes mentions that parasite units live on the skin and when soaked with water become totally engrossed in drinking it in. The squirt gun gives them a mild case of that. If your support unit is high level you can also change the weather to rain on the SKULLS for a much better effect. Have to admit I haven't tried it on Quiet before I lost her.
+Damien John That's bullshit, I pumped hundreds of shots into him and it didn't do fuckall. It's plausible there's a low chance to stun him on any shot, but otherwise you're just talking out of your ass.
So many little details and mechanics, like the water gun, are what make the MGS series so great. Even reflex mode, I don't generally use it but flicking it on when you feel like going in guns blazing, it makes you feel like a badass. Best game series of all time in my opinion.
If a tank spots you, for example or an enemy fires an RPG at you, equip and use the pill to manually enter reflex mode, shoot the shell and it'll put it out, as you watch it fall slowly to the ground without detonation.
Water pistol is used for bin fires. They make light, which is a disadvantage in terms of stealth. Getting rid of this light is very effective. So therefore the water pistol is very useful.
+Viet Do *Anyone else reading this dont it contains mild spoilers* As do i but unfortunately she is gone for good :"( she was the best buddy in my opinion
You can silently disable comms by shooting the equipment with water as opposed to the loud C4 option. You can also stun enemies when spotted with a magazine to their face.
I use d horse to SHIT on the road and knock out 2 Soviets and 1 prisoner and Fultoned them all, of course the shit of death an ancient tactic use by the samurai XD
I'm surprised most people saw the water pistol useless and only for The Man On fire, when it has best stealth uses. (Not to mention cheap deployment wise if you have no problem with just 1 water pistol.)
You know guards will stay out of commission a lot longer if you tell them to lay down or hold them up while they are on the floor as opposed to knocking them out or tranquilizing them.
Damn I needed this when disabling the radio communications in the mission C2W rather then using a loud ass assault rifle how do I get this water pistol?
Infinite ammo, dirt cheap, can destroy comms equipment and electrical stations, can extinguish open flame lightsources, is silent, can temporarily stun enemies. The watergun is the super effective.
i took on metal gear salathraposoases( on extreme) with the water gun bad idea cause when it jumped at me the water pistol does nothing to psycho mantis and grande launchers take time to load
You can destroy electronics with the blue light with the water pistol. You can out trash fire cans to create shadows. It's a good gun, if you don't get into fire fights. :P
+Kinos141 you can still carry 2 "bigger guns", for example, since i got the legendary gunsmith, i havent used my riot smg, because i can use the riot assault rifle with silencer... so having the water gun with me, is more like another tool(by the way i didnt knew you could put fire out with it...
+Alec Bonjolo I really don't like how they made it with BB just appearing in cutscenes. It'd be much better if they made him talk through the current soldier's iDroid, and the rest of the things were like in original cutscenes but with these soldiers in place of BB.
+ace0071000 It would be cool, but I suppose they never intended for the story missions to be played with anyone other than BB. I imagine it would be quite difficult to make the story work otherwise. Not that its impossible, it was probably just inefficient. Although, they could have just locked out story missions to anyone other than BB.
It can stun him, but water pistol is at his best when used against the skulls. They get too busy drinking water to attack you and it disolves their armor.
Truly a weapon to surpass metal gear
I defeated sahelanthropus with it in one hit on extreme. Kojima really needs to patch the water gun because it's OP and it's ruining the game frankly
Uchiha Madara dude are you serious?!
+Branden Black No lmao
Branden Black trolling lmao
Uchiha Madara ive been on the weird part of the Internet too long, I can't even tell anymore lol
Am I the only one that tried using it on the Man on Fire at the Devil's House?
Please tell me i'm not the only one..
i did top tier strats amrite?
+Charm hahaha i also did it
You are not alone.....
Did it work?
did it work?
I can't believe this video didn't mention its use against the man on fire, that's what I thought was it's entire purpose.
If you use it on him, ocelot will tell you it's not enough water to put him out
+Macie Jay Its IGN. They love click-bait and wasting peoples time.
+DeadlyDre Actually, I figured it's only purpose was using it on the Man on Fire and it turns out that doesn't even work. I learned something about this weapon through this video, but sure, call it click-bait I guess.
It does work on the Man on Fire, it just takes 60-80 shots for a stun.
Macie jay in da house!

+MrMetGaming And not enough fish AI.

Your profile picture....
It's pretty good
Contamination of the patient "you're pretty good"
Beat me to it
do you know howmuch a water pistol with infinate tap water would be worth in either of the places you visit in the game? it would be nuts.
that's true that made me laugh
+neo bear a trillion would not be enough
+neo bear Plot Twist, what if it was not tap water?
+Nadhif Bhagawanta A trillion dollars would barely buy you a loaf of bread not too long ago in Zimbabwe.
I find this absolutely hilarious. due to hyperinflation I heard they had to make a 5 trillion dollar bill
Dammit youtube stop advertising MGS5. I'm watching a video about it and I've bought the game. What more do you want?
+Vito Scarletta can't do it on iPhone
You can if it's jalibroken.
lol good one
They want you to become Big Boss!

"He is getting all wet though, which I kinda like." IGN - 2015
Shadow of random?
Funny trick in reflex mode, toss an empty mag at the enemy's head and it KOs them instantly with a nice "Ding!" noise.
+Kaneki Ken I gotta try this now lol
+Kaneki Ken wear the chicken hat and when an enemy spots you, he'll laugh at you
+dadadannn I've never wore the chicken hat yet. But NOW I have to try it on.
+Kaneki Ken Also works with smoke grenades. I had one equipped when I accidently walked into a guard, kicking in reflex mode.
Donald Anderson Tried this without reflex, didn't work. Gonna try Reflex next.
It's funny how the water gun destroys electrical equipment... but not the damn rain.
Cuz it's direct shot. Rain come from above
Because it's shot from big boss
They are usually stored inside tents or buildings
its because you have to hit the side vents where rain cant reach
@@donrixw9955 I've hit parts the rain hits directly and broke it
+IGN you can also shoot radios with the water pistol to destroy them. ;-)
***** not on security camera's ;-)
+Nicholas.R.F or antennas
***** it would be logical for that to work, but I have never tried it.
test time!!
+RedXuchilbara If I remember correctly it didn't affect the antennas. Not sure about the rest.
+RedXuchilbara You're so pretty!
Real men use the Water Gun against the Skulls :B
+Diego Medina nop magazines better
wow wow wow
if you want to push it you use cqc against them
+Alejandro Silva That is actually a viable option, I've killed two of them with CQC counters when they attack me with their machete, it's very hard to do though
I used the decoy snake balloon on the skulls wasn't amused lmao
+Reon Thornton it works though, if you can time it right, cqc/shotgun/rocket launcher and they aren't too bad.
'He is getting all wet which I like'
Wet tshirt contests for everyone, even man on fire and that random guy on thenleft
+Pinkaugust that's what she said
it is used for washing off the blood from the ground to avoid attention
2 years... but... If you use tranq there's no blood *taps head meme*
@@gacsam8683 dont have to clean blood if theres no murder
Can't clear blood if there's no bodies. **cuts to a Jumpcut of everytime i Fulton'd a guard in MGSV so far**

So, its an upgraded banana from peace walker.
Yes lol the banana was even funnier
what u do with banana? :D

unsurprisingly it also puts out fires like campfires and barrel fires, so it can kinda help with stealth.
And that's why i love japanese games - creativity.
+alexander maier Yep, because every creative person is from one country. Nowhere else does any game developer have any creativity whatsoever.
No this is why you love Hideo Kojima
+tuxandashotty To be fair, the most creative thing weapon wise thats come out here thats not from japan is the penetrator. & thats not saying much.
Oh Weeabos they think only the japanese are capable of being creative.
+Jaeger Bravely demon's souls is from Japan you know, unless you are talking about a different penetrator
Try using it on The Man on Fire lol
+Even.Ways Music IKR I want to see what happens to him
1LIFEtoWIN He'll eat you
+1LIFEtoWIN Takes 50 shots but it stuns him.
+Even.Ways Music Shoot Quiet with it. ;)
+Damien John That's bullshit, I pumped hundreds of shots into him and it didn't do fuckall. It's plausible there's a low chance to stun him on any shot, but otherwise you're just talking out of your ass.
This reminds me of the BANANA you get from Peace Walker and you can hold up enemies at gun point.
if it's holy water then yes, that way you can kill vampires and atheist
do you really believe in holy water?
Holy water doesn't do shit to vampires same goes for crosses.
+ricolinuxtutorial If it's holy water, you should probably grab a real pistol to take care of your own ignorance.
MrLaeddis1 it seems you guys don't watch Supernatural :/
+mezuki64 i do, im a big fan. but go to jared paladecki and ask him if supernatural is real.
You can also use it as distraction like the magazine

+Venerable Malleus try throwing a magazine round at a soldier's head in reflex mode

+Andy “Russian” no way...
+Andy “Russian” London What I want to know is how you even thought to test it.... Wait, you can shoot tank shells in mid-air!?!? WTF!
The realistic thing to happen after is that all the enemy troops that saw that happen and than just ran away from you right out of fear?
Water Pistol = Banana
true veterans will know ;)
I beat almost all of peace walker with a banana.
+Dahlton Warman (Desuberniis) sim trunks and bananas 4 ervyone! :D
+Dahlton Warman (Desuberniis) Same
KAY B 14 Im sad that theres no tanigashima here or the monster hunter missions where you fight the last gear rex at mother base
welp, the water pistol it's more useful
Shalashaska: Your gonna extract him?
Female DD: no. *head shot*
When your south African and you understand the radio language
I'm Dutch and I can also understand it a bit. But the grammar in the game is bad.
you can also put out those pesky fires with it. handy for stealth
Water pistol is used for bin fires. They make light, which is a disadvantage in terms of stealth. Getting rid of this light is very effective. So therefore the water pistol is very useful.
0:48 Were you... were you quoting the opening line from the dojo level in Parappa the Rapper? -.O
You can use water to clean up blood when you stab them
just completed the campaign. 10/10
how many mission's are there ?
+Abdullah Al-Marhuby Theres 50. but some aren't to do with the campaign. butbthere are 2 acts. take me 48 hours to complete the story.
STREETIE awesome. Am currently playing mission 30 xD guess am more then half way through it! Thanks bro
+STREETIE Hey dude, do you know how to get Quiet back? I've done the Quiet's Exit mission and I want her back so badly...
+Viet Do *Anyone else reading this dont it contains mild spoilers* As do i but unfortunately she is gone for good :"( she was the best buddy in my opinion
DDog looks different
Ok captain s-stutter
+Darkwolf upgrade fur color
+Flo Rida You do realise that the dog is called DDog and that he wasn't actually stuttering right?
Fail
+Graham Goldman cool
+Flo Rida wow thats like Gorillaz fans vs Flo Rida fans. It's obivous who is smarter.
The amount of content in this game, hidden Easter eggs and features. I never knew this one, thanks guys!
Can you clean up blood on the ground after killing a guard with the water pistol?
Snake just want to play Splatoon
You can actually taken down the man on fire with the water pistol. It takes a while but it works!
You can also use it to put out burning barrels at night that allows for more darkness for sneaking. I've heard, haven't tried it yet
You can silently disable comms by shooting the equipment with water as opposed to the loud C4 option. You can also stun enemies when spotted with a magazine to their face.
if deficating in this game is actually useful - not surprised the water gun is too.
+Afrim A.T yes D-Horse can crap on the road and vehicles will drive over it and crash can be used for ambushing vehicles
Poop will make jeeps spiral out of control and stunning all its occupants.
I use d horse to SHIT on the road and knock out 2 Soviets and 1 prisoner and Fultoned them all, of course the shit of death an ancient tactic use by the samurai XD
+Andy “Russian” London Does this work with APCs, trucks and tanks?
I'm not sure. I doubt it. I haven't tried it. They'd be too too heavy I'm thinking. I can't see a tank spinning out of control
Was kinda helpful against the man on fire..
I don't know if nobody knows but when your in the helicopter if zoom in at the window you can see the person you created at the begining of the game
how to you switch people? is it something late game?

+Dengeki lol, the like was from me ;)
I'd imagine you could put out fires enemies are using for lighting too.
in Nova Berga Airport I found diamond containers inside a hanger
I can't get it out
someone said that u cant use quite after certain mission is that true? and why
Should try it on the fire barrels to see if it puts them out as they become a light source at night
what are the headsets that they use?
OMG im so lucky i got into an ign video without a 30 second ad
How do you change the color of DD?
some primary weapons can have a secondary weapon attachment like a sawed off shotgun as well as what they said so yea
Will the water pistol screw with the infected skulls?
You can also use it to put out campfires and candles in the mansion
How do you get the water pistol?
how do you get the water gun?
So I got MGS5TPP for Christmas I can't wait to play it and when I get the water pistol I always need to remember it's useful
where u get that water gun at
I'm surprised most people saw the water pistol useless and only for The Man On fire, when it has best stealth uses.
(Not to mention cheap deployment wise if you have no problem with just 1 water pistol.)
Hot tip: this ALSO puts out fires. The small fires that guards light to see by will be extinguished if shot by the water gun.
Can't you use it to put out fires in barrels so you can hide in the shadows?
You know guards will stay out of commission a lot longer if you tell them to lay down or hold them up while they are on the floor as opposed to knocking them out or tranquilizing them.
Is it used to put out the bonfires? Gets rid of a light source
Dumb question how do you get the water pistol
the wallpapers used to take out enemy electronics and you can shoot quiet with it with it
can you shoot a stream of water then use your stun arm and shock multiple people? you know what I'm gonna develop it and try out
you can also use it on the skulls to immoblize them for a few sec
Where did you do you get the water gun?
+Nhia89 Somewhere around mission 25, it'll be automatically added to your research-able list.
Damn I needed this when disabling the radio communications in the mission C2W rather then using a loud ass assault rifle how do I get this water pistol?
play the game untill you save the kids in africa
Infinite ammo, dirt cheap, can destroy comms equipment and electrical stations, can extinguish open flame lightsources, is silent, can temporarily stun enemies. The watergun is the super effective.
i took on metal gear salathraposoases( on extreme) with the water gun bad idea cause when it jumped at me the water pistol does nothing to psycho mantis and grande launchers take time to load
You can put out fires and torches with it to. I want to use it for any man on fire missions.
What mode is this?
Code talker says that the parasite will react to being wet like when it rains.. so im wondering if it can be used against them
You can destroy electronics with the blue light with the water pistol. You can out trash fire cans to create shadows.
It's a good gun, if you don't get into fire fights. :P
+Kinos141 you can still carry 2 "bigger guns", for example, since i got the legendary gunsmith, i havent used my riot smg, because i can use the riot assault rifle with silencer... so having the water gun with me, is more like another tool(by the way i didnt knew you could put fire out with it...
Marcos Danilo Lucky you, I have't gotten the gunsmith yet.
"if you dont get into fire fights"... Lol I see what you did there!
Why is there a circular shadow, underneath your character?
you can also put out fire with the water pistol :) All those barels or campfires are only possible to put off with the water gun :)
"kick kick punch its all in the mind" nice reference
how did you get the brown colored dd? mine is grey.
+Shahariar Dipto Raise DD's bond to max and you will get a customization option for him, you get to change his pelt color and eye type
TheErikth thanks mate. I already have the bond maxed out. He is so helpful in the game.
How do you use your custom character ?
+Chris Cradock the one you create at the beginning of the game? you get him after the final mission.
wait if slient is dying cant you use that cause doesn't she absorb stuff through her skin?
Personally it helps me to release tension when going back to motherbase. I splash my staff and they say "thank u boss. Damn it."
doesnt the water pistol put out barrel fires?
You can have more than 3 firearms on you if develop the pistol, compact shotgun or grenade launcher which can be mounted under a rifle.
Do the cutscenes change if you play with one of the DD soldiers instead of Big Boss?
No
+Alec Bonjolo I really don't like how they made it with BB just appearing in cutscenes. It'd be much better if they made him talk through the current soldier's iDroid, and the rest of the things were like in original cutscenes but with these soldiers in place of BB.

Not that its impossible, it was probably just inefficient. Although, they could have just locked out story missions to anyone other than BB.
Tom Nerva
Well, yeah, but boy do the story missions usually boost skills for personnel...
does anyone know how to unlock the water gun
it is also affective in putting out fire pits during night missions to reduce your chances of being spotted by enemies, just stating the obvious.
Does it work on the 'Man on Fire'?
What happens if you shoot quiet with the water pistol? If u shoot her with a gun she will turn on you for a short time, but with a water gun?
Has anyone tried to use the water pistol in the mission where the man on fire attacks you? I forget which mission it is
It can stun him, but water pistol is at his best when used against the skulls. They get too busy drinking water to attack you and it disolves their armor.
What character where they using? I'm not thaaaat far so I'm unfamiliar
Quiet humming in the background :D
water pistol work for the fireman?
Thought that the flare would wake up knocked or sleeping people, so u could wake up enemies without having to stand up.
Can you use it on the man on fire boss?
You can hide blood traces with it aswell
does the water gun work against the fire guy???
Yes.. It's just takes a lot of hits on him haha
The watergun is useful if you are going full stealth without tranquilizers and lethal guns equip and for holding up
