Metal Gear Solid V/Downloadable Content

This article lists downloadable content (DLC) for both Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Ground Zeroes DLC
There is currently no downloadable content for use within Ground Zeroes. However, by ordering a retail copy of it from various retailers in Japan, DLC for use in The Phantom Pain is available.

The first DLC is a passcode that will unlock a special weapon for The Phantom Pain when it is released. This will be given out via GEO.

The second DLC is a passcode that will unlock a special soldier for Mother Base in Ground Zeroes. This will be exclusively released by the Japanese company GEO.

The third DLC is a passcode for unlocking a special cardboard box in The Phantom Pain. This will be released by the Japanese Amazon website.

The fourth DLC is a passcode for unlocking a special Mother Base soldier in The Phantom Pain. This will be released by GameTsutaya.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth DLC are a pack of voice clips of Snake and other characters meant for mobile devices, which can be gained by pre-ordering from Joshin, Eiden, 100満ボルト, 古本市場, and 一部限定店舗.

Players with a save file of Ground Zeroes can import it to access the MSF Sneaking Suit and unique Mother Base staff for The Phantom Pain. Retail copies of the game in the West also come with a DLC voucher for Mother Base Staff.

Posters for Puma also showed Ground Zeroes-era Big Boss wearing Puma-related products, although it is not made clear whether this was meant to imply that Puma products would appear as DLC for Ground Zeroes.

Behind the scenes
Retail copies of Ground Zeroes within the PAL region were released with a slip of paper featuring a DLC code that could only be redeemed upon the release of The Phantom Pain. The paper listed the downloadable content as Limited Edition "Mother Base Staff" Code, and it also directed players to Konami Europe's website. However, the link printed on the paper now leads to a 404 page on Konami Japan's website.
