Maverick Security Consulting, Inc.

Maverick Security Consulting, Inc. is a private military company that was dispatched to a developing country to help it repair itself after a costly civil war in 2023. It was located on One Location Road in Denver, Colorado, area code 50204. Raiden was hired into the PMC as part of VIP protection and military training, among other duties. Raiden likewise accepted those jobs as a means to support his family (Rosemary and Little John) without having to return to the battlefield. One of the African officials in the country initially had doubts about them, believing that their status as a PMSC meant they propegated war, although he later admitted that they helped train his army well. After Raiden ended up caught in a battle with an anonymous Cyborg Ninja only known as Sam that resulted in him possessing severe lacerations, a damaged left retina, and the removal of his left forearm, thus forcing him into emergency treatment, Maverick later recovered the arm and proceeded to retrieve files stored on it, requiring a weekly retrieval process due to the files being corrupted, as well as highly classifying the retrieval to prevent competing PMCs from gaining access to the data. Maverick eventually managed to find a file cluster that was password protected, requiring Maverick agents to decode the password before accessing it. It later found another password-encrypted file cluster from Raiden's arm, relating to Raiden's time at Force XXI. This time, they attempted to recover the corrupted Force XXI training log data, although because the data was corrupted, they ended up having to purge it and then move it to a quarantined file. As a direct result of this attack, which was instigated by the PMC Desperado Enforcement LLC., a PMC known to support terrorists and criminals, Raiden also took active battlefield missions for Maverick that directly related to Desperado.

Equipment
During their mission in 2023, Maverick wore khaki pants and combat boots, a navy-blue T-shirt, a chest harness, either a khaki ballistic helmet or a black baseball cap, and a leg holster. Some also wore headsets for communication, as well as combat goggles. They also possessed cybernetic implants, primarily around their neck area.

Several of their weapons included what resembled a cross between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. In addition, they also possessed at least three Armored Personnel Carriers, capable of transporting four soldiers, and manned by a gunner.

Behind the scenes
Maverick Security Consulting, Inc. first appeared in the VGA 2011 trailer for Revengeance. It was later identified by name in a redacted letter on the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance teaser site promoting an update on April 30, 2012, that mentioned that Raiden required emergency surgery from injuries including severe lacerations, a damaged retina, and amputation of a body part. The exact body part was never specified, although a later letter issued with a USB device based on Raiden's arm that was a bonus for Game Informer and EGM, mentioning the recovery of Raiden's arm from the battlefield along with plans to recover corrupted files on the arm, implied that the body part that was amputated was his left arm.

Likewise, its location was initally made unclear, with the first report from Maverick, regarding a medical report, redacting most of the location data, only leaving the area code and the term "road" exposed. Its location was eventually revealed in another report regarding the detection of a file cluster that is password protected while decrypting Raiden's arm.
