Equipment
There are 3 type of items, Tools, Item and Option. Items in The Phantom Pain need to be either located, unlocked or developed in.

Uniforms


In The Phantom Pain, Uniform Selection allows the player to choose the uniform Big Boss and the Diamond Dogs wear during a mission. Uniforms have unique abilities and advantages to help aid the player such as more items/weapons equipped, less damage taken and higher camo index.


 * Naked: Fatigues with low defense, camo index, and main weapon ammo storage, but high movement speed.


 * Fatigues: Simple military fatigues, offering the basic level of defense, main weapon storage, ammo storage, and camo index. Comes in variants (Olive Drab, Tiger Stripes, Desert Fox, Splitter, Black Ocelot, Urban Water and Golden Tiger).


 * Scarf:


 * Sneaking Suit: A new version of the sneaking suit designed by the R&D team at Diamond Dogs. It allows the player to carry twice as many items and weapons as the standard fatigues. The TGS 2014 demo inferred that the sneaking suit was under development at the time Snake went to Africa.


 * Battle Dress: A new version of the Battle Dress from Peace Walker designed by the R&D team at Diamond Dogs. Provides low movement and low camo index but with very high ammo capacity, High defense, and probably allow an extra weapon slot.

 * MSF Sneaking Suit: Same suit and design as seen in Ground Zeroes. Unlocked exclusively for Big Boss when starting up The Phantom Pain with Ground Zeroes data saved on the console's hard drive.

The user must position themselves close or on the enemy for it to be deployed while the attached inflatable balloon sends the enemy airborne for evacuation away from the battlefield.

It can also be used to retrieve emplaced weapons and vehicles, as well as cargo containers. Can also be used on animals such as rams, and horses for whatever purpose not yet explained. Can also be used as improvised weapons.
 * Fulton Device:

Options

 * Light: A tactical light mounted on a gun. Lights can be turned ON/OFF in the weapon menu, or by pressing the right directional button while you have a weapon readied. You can blind an enemy by pointing a weapon at them with its light, on though the light makes you more visible to the enemy.


 * Suppressor: A noise suppression device that reduces gunshot sound and muzzle flash. Though it allows a weapon to be fired without alerting the enemy, its limited-use parts mean that eventually it will lose its function. Can be attached or removed via the weapon menu.

Chicken Hat: A cap that gives a superficial resemblance to a chicken outfit. It was unveiled on Kojima Station on Christmas Day, with a still that implied that it could be used during cutscenes. The cap can be selected by players who get too many Game Over screens, and assists the player in their stealth, as enemies will mistake the player for a chicken up to three times before becoming ineffective.

Eggshell Hat: A cap similar to the Chicken Hat. Protects players from being detected an unlimited number of times, however it reduces the final mission score significantly.

Cassette Tape: Sony labeled tapes can be found scattered all around mission areas through the game. Their appearances may change according the mission the player is currently on. May contain various intel, music, or data.

Med Spray: An emergency treatment agent for use after sustaining an injury too grievous for the body to recover naturally.

Weapons
Weapons exclusive to Metal Gear Online and will not be available to use in the standard The Phantom Pain gameplay.

Primary Weapons (Hip)
AM MRS-4 Rifle Golden: A golden version of the same rifle seen in Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. No changes besides its appearance.

Secondary Weapons
Wu Silent Pistol Golden: A golden version of the same pistol seen in Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. No changes besides its appearance.

Other
Metal Gear REX Mask: A mask mimicking the bi-pedal walking weapon Metal Gear REX. It is only for aesthetic purposes and offers no advantage.

Behind the scenes
Unlike previous Metal Gear games, exempting Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, most of the weapons that appear in the game are fictional. This is probably due to licensing restrictions arising from the customization system, which allows the player to swap and change parts from real world companies' weapons. Hideo Kojima inferred that the weapons are based on those found during the 1980s.

Several newer promotional renders, along with several older ones of previous games (i.e. promotional images of Peace Walker), have had their previously real life weapons replaced with a Metal Gear Solid V equivalent. For example, a promotional render of Snake from Peace Walker wielding an M16A1 or a render of Old Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4 wielding a M4 Custom now shows them both holding the AM Rifle Type 69 and the HD render art of Solid Snake is seen with a Wu Silent Pistol in his holster instead of a Mk23 SOCOM. This is seen on the cover of The Legacy Collection and many of the cards of Social Ops.
