Ok so basically Chapter 5: Outer Heaven (this one) was pretty much done for you to catch up to the Extra OPS and finish them. Yeah, as you may know already there are a ton of Extra OPS so to get the good ending or rather the complete ending, you’ve got to finish these missions, the Zadornov Search Missions. Here’s how they work:

Once you finish OPS 26, Peace Walker Battle 3, if the first Zadornov Search Mission doesn’t appear, you have to complete more Extra OPS until it appears. Once you complete it more Extra OPS unlock and you have to complete them for the next Zadornov Search Mission to appear. You have to do this over and over until you complete all 6 Zadornov Search Missions and the last Main OPS appears.

Also note that there will be no direct strategy/guide for the Search Missions because the only thing you have to do is to search for Zadornov in the areas and FRS him out of there, then simply head for the extraction point.

What I will add however is the location of Zadornov. That’s it. You can go stealthy or all out if you want in the missions. What’s important is to get him back to NSF.
