Quiet Down! How to Actually Raise Quiet's Bond Level in MGSV: The Phantom Pain
Let's face it, Snake. Quiet's a bit of a wildcard. One minute she's sniping fools from a mile away, the next she's humming a creepy tune and ignoring your direct orders. But fear not, Diamond Dogs! This guide will turn you from a bumbling commander to a Quiet-charming Casanova (well, not exactly Casanova, but you get the idea).

| How To Get Quiet Bond Level |
Step 1: Don't Be That Guy (Unless That Guy Gets Results)
First things first: You gotta not kill her in Mission 11. That bullet may be tempting when she's aiming at your head, but trust me, a little patience goes a long way. Plus, who else will take out an entire sniper outpost from a hanging ledge while you play decoy like a goofball?
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
There, there. I see you replaying the mission. We've all been there.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
Now, the not-so-obvious "don't be that guy" tip: She might be a merciless killing machine, but try not to get her wasted in combat. A Quiet hopped up on healing spray ain't exactly the cuddle buddy you might be hoping for (although, who am I to judge your Mother Base fantasies?).
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
However, if getting shot sets her off on a glorious bullet ballet, eradicating everything in sight, well, hey, two can play at that game. Sometimes, a battlefield promotion is the best kind of bonding.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Step 2: Operation: Howl About a Little Deployment?
Deploying with Quiet is a surefire way to raise her bond level. Every deployment nets you a cool 2 points. But who has time for actual missions, right? Here's where the real fun begins.
-
The Chopper Shuffle: This is a classic. Deploy on any mission, then immediately hightail it back to ACC before the helicopter even lands. Poof! 2 points and zero enemy encounters. Talk about a stealthy strat.
-
The AFK Approach (Away From Keyboards, you heathens): Feeling peckish? Need to walk the dog? No problem! Deploy to free roam in Afghanistan, grab a snack, and come back to a slightly-more-bonded Quiet. Just be warned, Mother Base security might raise an eyebrow or two about your "extended recon missions."
Step 3: Because Sharing is Caring (Especially When It Comes to Fulton Recovery)
Quiet may be a lone wolf, but she appreciates a good teammate. Here's how to show her you care (and score some points in the process).
-
Fulton Fun: Every enemy you Fulton extract is a +1 to Quiet's heart (or lack thereof). Maybe she just misses the thrill of the hunt, or maybe she wants to build a creepy enemy-statue garden in her cell. Who knows?
-
The Interrogation Tango: Ever feel like Quiet gets a little too trigger-happy? Interrogate an enemy instead of letting her take them out. It shows you value intel gathering (and hey, maybe you'll learn something juicy).
-
Operation: Damsel in Distress (But Not Really): Extracting a prisoner is another way to earn Quiet's respect (and maybe a grateful head tilt?). Just make sure you're the one doing the extracting – you don't want her going all Rambo and scaring the poor hostage.
Step 4: Patience is a Virtue (Unless You Have a Lot of Magazines)
Look, some things just take time. You can't rush love (or a deeper bond with a highly-trained sniper). Keep deploying, keep those Fulton rockets flying, and eventually, Quiet will warm up to you. Maybe she'll even sing you a lullaby (although, with her vocal cords, it might sound more like a death threat). But hey, progress is progress!
Remember, Diamond Dogs: A little humor, a lot of patience, and a whole bunch of Fulton shenanigans will have you and Quiet becoming the best of… well, not exactly friends, but a formidable (and slightly terrifying) duo. Now get out there and earn that trust!
