Operation: Maximum Cuteness - A Guide to Quiet's Rapid Rapport
Ah, Quiet. The enigmatic sniper with a fondness for silenced bullets and...well, that's about all we know for sure. But hey, who needs chitchat when you can have a sharpshooter on your side? Especially when she unlocks a sweet silenced tranq sniper rifle at higher bond levels. The problem? Building that bond can feel slower than watching paint dry (especially if you're a pacifist Snake who winces every time she opens fire). Fear not, Diamond Dogs! This guide will turn you into a Quiet-whisperer in no time.

| How To Get Quiet Bond Up Fast |
Method 1: The Chopper Shuffle
Let's be honest, sometimes Mother Base is just too darn comfy. Who can blame you? But here's a little secret: deploying with Quiet, even if you just chill in the chopper and high-tail it back to HQ, bumps her bond by two. That's right, you can be a master of strategic insertion and extraction...from your beanbag chair. Just don't tell Ocelot you're using his chopper for joyrides.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
This tactic is perfect for: The lazy Snake (we've all been there), players who prefer non-lethal takedowns, and anyone who appreciates the scenic route (Afghanistan at sunset is pretty breathtaking from the sky).
Downside: This method requires a monumental amount of GMP for all those chopper rides. Time to break out the Fulton balloons and start resource collecting, soldier!
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Method 2: The Silent Stalker
Here's the gist: take Quiet on missions, but don't let her Rambo the entire enemy base. Instead, use her as a silent guardian angel. Let her scout outposts, mark enemies, and pick off unsuspecting foes from afar. You'll be surprised how quickly her bond grows when she feels appreciated (and not just for her impressive trigger finger).
This tactic is perfect for: Players who want to unlock Quiet's full potential (cough, silenced sniper rifle, cough), and those who enjoy a more tactical approach. Plus, watching Quiet take down enemies from afar is like a free sniper show – way more entertaining than D-Horse's dramatic whinnies.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.

Downside: Requires a bit more effort on your part, but hey, think of it as bonding time with your super-powered (and slightly unsettlingly quiet) teammate.
Method 3: The Hygiene Hypothesis (Unverified)
This one's a bit out there, but some folks swear by it. Apparently, Quiet gains a sliver of bond every time you develop a new hygiene item. Maybe it's the thoughtfulness of providing decent showers after all those dusty missions? Or perhaps she secretly harbors a deep love for novelty shampoos? Who knows!
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
This tactic is perfect for: The eccentric Snake who wants to try anything (even if it sounds like something Miller would cook up).
Downside: This method is about as reliable as finding a decent Wi-Fi connection in the middle of the Afghan wilderness. But hey, if you've got the resources to burn on experimental hygiene products, more power to you.
Bonus Tip: Every once in a while, when Quiet isn't looking, crouch down and wiggle your butt. There's no scientific evidence to support this, but trust me, it's hilarious and might just break the ice (assuming Quiet has any...).
Remember, patience is key, Snake. But with a little creativity and maybe some questionable dance moves, you'll have Quiet singing your praises (well, maybe not literally) in no time. Now get out there and build that bond!
